Happy 2nd Birthday Ava

It seems like just yesterday this little princess entered our lives.  She is growing so fast and brings so much joy to our lives. 

Last night we took her to Outback Steakhouse for a family meal…the wait staff brought out a dessert for her at the end of our meal and sang to her.  It was so funny because she got really embarrassed and just kept her head down as they sang.  I would have never guessed our outgoing little Ava would get embarrassed like she did.

Saturday we are celebrating her birthday with our extended family and friends and having a Toy Story 3 pool party.  She is so excided it is all we have heard about for the past couple weeks.  I am anxious to see if she gets just as embarrassed when we sing to her that day.

Stay tuned for more information….I hope it doesn’t take me another month to find time to write another post.

Puggle Puppies!

My sister’s dog had 7 puppies over Thanksgiving. Unfortunately they lost one of the little girls. So now they have 5 boys and 1 girl.  Over the weekend we were finally able to go down and see them.  They are SOOOO cute and as you can see Ava was in love!

Preparing for the Holidays

I am so excited for Christmas this year….I just can’t wait to see my kids open their gifts and just be together.  Over the past weekend we decorated Christmas cookies and prepared for Allicia’s Girl Scout Christmas party and our annual Schmitz cookie bake. Our kitchen was a disaster when we were done, but it was so much fun!

As you can see the men helped out a lot!  Smile

I thought this was too cute not to share....
