Happy Easter! and Happy Moving!

Most of our Easter was spent moving! We finally finished up late Sunday night it was such a relief! It has taken us weeks to get everything packed up and into the new house. I realized we have so many more things with a baby now! But We did go to church and Tj's Aunt Sharon invited us over for dinner, it was so delicious and it was definately good to see some family!

Farewell Sam!

So the main reason Ava and I went down to Utah was to say goodbye and to send Sam (my brother-in-law) on a mission to Argentina. I always hate goodbye's especially mission one's because they seem so long and it made me even more sad to think that Ava will be over 2 1/2 years old when he gets back! She will be walking, talking and who knows what else! But We are all so proud of Sam and the great work he is doing and we know he will be a wonderful missionary!

Happy Birthday!

So me and Ava got to spend the week in Utah last week. Of course Tj couldn't get off work but we were able to be there for my dads 60th Birthday! I know it meant alot to him so I am glad we were a part of it! I will post more of our trip soon!

This Cake is amazing! It's called Saunder's cake and it is my dads favorite you can only get it in Michigan!

Grandpa and Ava!

Even Ava loved the cake!

7 Month Pictures!

I wanted to get some more photos taken of Ava since she is growing way too fast! I also wanted to be in a few of them because the last family pictures we took I missed out on getting in on some one on one shots. So here's a few!

Best Friends!

I wanted to post some pictures of Ava and her cousin Charli. They are only Eight days apart! It's hard to believe cause my chubby baby has got a good Four pounds on her but Charli is definately taller. It's so fun to watch these guys grow. I am sure they will be best buds!
. Proud daddy's! If you look close Ava and Charli are holding hands.

Valentine's Day! and Tj's Birthday!

Well since Tj's birthday just happens to fall on Valentine's day it's pretty much his day. Of course he had to work all day but my mother-in -law flew into town that night so my in-laws took care of Ava so we could spend some time alone. I made reservations at Benihanas because I heard it was amazing! It was really good but it's expensive and you don't get a ton of food so if I had to choose between Tepanyaki (in Utah) and Benihanas it would definately be Tepanyaki! We still had a good time and even had a little cake at midnight when we got home.

I made Tj take a picture by his cake and Valentine cupcakes!

Daddy's little girl!

Every night when Tj gets home all he has to say is "stinky" and Ava smiles, laughs and squeels at him she gets so excited to see him and she absoutely loves it when he rubs her back, arms and
legs she goes into a trance I'ts so cute!
