Sea World Orlando!!!

The day was unbelievable!! We had a blast!! We took more pictures these are just from GiGi camera. We saw the "believe" show, we saw sing rays, dolphins, sea lions... etc!! It was so awesome. Ava absolutely loved Shamu!! Lance and I bought a huge one, you will see it in the pictures below, and she laughed and squealed all day at that thing! I have never seen her act like this before!! I had no idea she would love it so much. She was such a trooper and did great all day. She is such a people person she smiled at everyone!! We all had a fantastic time! Thank you PawPaw and GiGi for a wonderful trip and Easter Weekend!!!

Easter Weekend 2010 part 1

Well it had been 4 months since we had seen PawPaw and GiGi and they finally got here. We had a very special Easter weekend with them!! We were all so excited to see them, and uncle Matt made the trip too! They got here on Tuesday night and left us after lunch on Easter. We had such a great time as always! Friday Lance got off from work so we headed to Clearwater Beach and oh my Gosh was it crowded!!!!... that's really an understatement!! But, we were glad to be there in laying in the summer! We had a good day!! Here are some of the pictures that we took. They are more pictures of Lance and I but we are not exactly beach body ready yet... LOL!! We are getting there! There are also just some random pictures of Ava! PawPaw and GiGi we love you!!! Come back soon!!

Easter Pictures/9 Month Pictures

Here are Ava's Easter Pictures!! My photographer here does such an awesome job.

She will be the only thing I miss about this town!! Of course Ava was a ham on the

day of the pictures, she would not smile for anything!! She did love the bunny though.

1st Princess!!!!

Ava was in her first pageant this past Saturday. It was a Sunburst Pageant, I competed in the same pageant was I was little!! My mom brought her just a church dress to compete in. There were 5 other babies in her category. Ava won 1st princess, which is runner up!! She did awesome. We will compete in state in Orlando at the end of May!! Here are some pictures from her big day!!

Ava is almost 8 months old!!

Well it has been a while since my last update!! We have had a very exciting month, I must say. Ava is almost crawling!! She is still rolling everywhere for now, but she is getting up on those knees rocking back and forth. This month we also starting holding our own bottle!! This is such a big thing as you moms out there know!! :) Our sleeping patterns have changed a little, and I am not happy about it. Since the child was born she has slept ALL night long for 10 to 12 hours. Well in this past month we have started waking up once a night between the hours of 1 and 3am!! Its no fun for mama!! I have to admit she does take her bottle quickly and goes right back to sleep, but I still don't like it! I hope we go back to sleeping all night soon. At our last doctors appoint we weighed in at 19.7 lbs and she is 27" long!! We are now wearing 12 month clothes!! We also started eating yogurt and ice cream as well has some crackers. We are also now using a high chair when we go out to eat!! OH, and Ava loves to dance!!! Its the cutest thing!!! Here are some pictures from this past month.. ENJOY!!!

I love the clothes basket pictures!!! This was from one of those nights that she got up and did not want to go back to sleep. So while I folded some clothes Ava hung out in the basket!! I had to take a pictures of it.. she is so stinkin' cute!!!

These are just from a random day!! She is my little flower child!!
