Campout at Devil's Den

Here are some pictures from Ava's first campout, we had so much fun! Mom and Dad brought their RV up to Devil's Den, so we drove out with Leah and Sarah to spend the weekend. It was pretty chilly, but Ava was all snug in her snow bunny suit.

Ava got to open her Easter basket from Nana over the weekend, here she is modeling her new sunglasses.

I Heart MB

Ok, so anyone who knows me knows that I am IN LOVE with Michael Buble. Well, at least his music. I've recently learned that he's not the greatest guy, but that's another story that we won't get into right now bc it makes me kind of sad.

So a couple of weeks ago Michael (1st name basis bc we're pretty close) came to Alltel arena in Little Rock and we got tickets. This was my second time to see him in concert, and it was even better this time around. I'm thinking about joining his fan club for the early ticket sales, but Chris thinks that might be a little over the top. In this case he might be right.

Before the concert we went to dinner with Mom, Dad and Leah, then Leah took Ava home while the rest of us went to hear Michael. I ran into a ton of people I knew, apparently the word about Michael had spread. Chris and I had floor seats, and Chris, indulging my obsession, let me sit on the aisle so I could have the best view. What a great night.

We call this Ava's Fruity Drink outfit. Lauren Orr gave it to her, and it's one of my favorites. She looks like a little Pina Colada!

So Big!

Here is a cute picture of the girls I had to post, this is their 2nd visit to the hospital together. The first was when Bailey came to see Ava when she was born, but this time we were visiting newborn baby Nathan. The girls looked so big compared to Nathan, I can't believe the difference 6 months makes!

Ava's 1st Easter

I know it has taken me way too long to post our Easter pictures, but better late than never! I loved Ava's Easter dress, and the cute little smocked shoes just made the outfit. I really wanted to get a family picture, but there wasn't anyone around to take it and I haven't quite mastered the self timer :)

Adventure on the Road

So mine and Ava's favorite toy right now is the Jeep jogging stroller I got about 2 weeks ago at a consignment sale. It was normally $200, but I got it for $48 and it is basically brand new! Whoever owned it before me pretty much gave it away, bc if it's been used you can't even tell. My friend Rachel knew how much I wanted it, so she ended up talking this girl who had already claimed it into letting me have it. Thanks Rachel, I owe you one!

I love getting to run to the park by our house, its only about a mile away. I get a little exercise, and Ava gets a nap. Oakley gets to go with us too, and when she gets tired I let her ride in the basket underneath. The best part is the Ipod connector and speakers, so we can listen to music while we run. Fun for the whole fam!

Time to hit the road

Almost asleep, it won't take long!

Flower Child

Ava and I did a test run on her Easter oufit (otherwise I can almost guarantee we would be late for church in the morning :) , so we just went ahead tried on her flower outfit while we were at it. So cute! The ribbons on the shoes were a little too short to tie in a bow, but that's ok. Thanks Mimi and Papa for the precious dress, we love it!

Happy Birthday Debbie!

This weekend we went to dinner with some friends for Debbie's birthday. It was so much fun getting to go out with everyone together, and all adults! Sarah kept Ava and Bailey for us, and when we got home they were sound asleep!

Happy birthday, Debbie!
