Our Anniversary dinner....and a sick baby

Just to let everyone know we went to Ruths Chris for our Anniversary dinner. OH dear!!! Thats about all I can say. It was amazing and pricey. We really did enjoy it though!

We spent Saturday morning running errands for the house, followed by a birthday party for a friend of Ava's. Then we ate dinner with some friends.

Saturday night Ava started coughing and feeling bad. We had a rough night. Sunday me and her stayed in the house all day!!!! It was much needed though. She was running fever and coughing something awful. She slept way better last night, but her cough is still lingering today. I really do despise summer time colds.

Happy Anniversary Adam!

Happy Anniversary to my husband! 6 years ago to the exact day of the week today!!!!! Crazy how time flies!!!

We are going on a date night tonight. Ava is staying with mom/dad all night.
I have a feeling Adam is up to something. I asked him if we were going to Conners to eat...that is where we usually go. He said he didn't think so. I began to ask questions and he wouldn't induldge me. Who knows where we will end up.

We have a crazy weekend ahead. There is so much to pick out for the house, plus Ava has a birthday party tomorrow to go to. Just not enough time in our weekends.

Learn by example

Sometimes I forget how much Ava is paying attention to what I say and do. The last couple days I was reminded. Over the weekend I was getting ready in the bathroom and she was in there playing. She got the deodorant and started pulling off her top to put it under her arms. I had to just stop and laugh a minute. It was so cute. I am glad I am teaching her proper hygiene.

Then yesterday afternoon we were outside. I drew her a hopscotch on the driveway, and we were hopping and playing. She wanted Adam to join in the fun....so he did. He hopped through it and then walked over to the grass and spit (his dip addiction). Yes I know a horrible habit that I despise. Anyways, Ava hopped (ran) through the hopscotch then walked over to the grass and spit :) We both looked at each other and dying laughing.

I hope I am teaching her good things and she is ignoring my faults :) Wishful thinking, right?

Heavy Heart

My heart is hurting today! A very good friend of mine, her father passed away yesterday. Please keep them in your prayers! I can't imagine the devastation and heartache they are going through. He always treated me good! I spent many days in his home playing with his kids, and many nights at his dinner table. He had a pretty smile, so thats what I am thinking on today. :)

Progress!

Hanging out at the splash park.

Finally.......for SALE! I guess I should have took the picture from the road so you can see the house :)

I guess you were probably expecting a picture of the new house...Sorry!!! The inside is changing but the outside is pretty much the same. Sheetrock should be done today and hopefully they will start trim tomorrow. They are suppose to start brick this week but I heard that all last week.....so I am skeptical.

I have been so busy the last 2 weeks cleaning and organizing our current house. We FINALLY put up our for sale sign this weekend. I am so proud to get that done!!! I have been so busy cleaning baseboards, light fixtures, and random things you never think to clean. Or at least I never think to clean. My emotions are high. I am excited but at the same time nervous. I know not matter what God knows what we need. He has proved that to me too many times for me to doubt. I just am telling myself "if this house doesn't sale when I expect it too, that doesn't mean it won't sale at the right time". My interpretation of the "right" time is different than his. I know this!!

We had to take a break Saturday from the cleaning madness to go to the Splash Park! Yes Scottsboro actually has something cool. If this place would have been around when I was young you couldn't have kept me away! Its sooo neat. Ava is still a little scared of it. She gets more brave when she has little friends to play with.

PS....If you know of anyone in the Sboro area that needs a house send them my way!

3 Bedroom, 2 bath, 1500 Sq. feet, hardwoods, vaulted ceiling, etc.

We have a door!!

We finally have a door. Its starting to look like a house!!!

Don't you just love my photographic abilities where you can see myself, the neighbor house, and the tractor in the reflection?

OH well you get the idea. Yes the door is black....my obsession.

They have all the sheet rock up but it isn't finished. We are doing a lot of waiting this week. I am not so great at doing that. We are waiting on the sheet rock guys to come back to finish and the brickers to show up.

Funny kid

Ava is in such a fun, hilarious stage. She is learning new words and expressing herself through things. Its so much fun to watch!!!!!! Sometimes I really just sit back and watch her play because its amazing how her little mind operates.

Some funny things she has said/done lately:
Mom was aggravated at dad over taking too long to go pick up a pizza. Ava picks up her "play" cell phone and says "pawpaw, She's Mad"!!!! Me and mom both had to just stop talking and laugh.

Mom has been taking her to the park some mornings before it gets too unbearably hot. Mom takes a little cooler with drinks. The other morning mom said Ava was dragging the cooler out saying I wanna go to the park!!!! Funny how she associates the park with that cooler.

Back when the tornadoes came through we went to ATL to Adams parents. His mom took us to a breakfast place one morning, where there is a train that goes around the restaurant. Well this past weekend we went back to that place and the first thing Ava says is "I wanna see choo choo". I couldn't believe she remembered that from almost 3 months ago.

One day I was driving and Ava was pointing out the window saying "mon, mon". I was like what is she saying? Then I looked up in the sky and realize the moon was visible and she was talking about the moon. She always has to point it out now!

I bought her a play camera the other day in Walmart. Yes, I know like she needs another toy. When we were walking out she is taking pictures of everything. She points it at this guy in his car and takes a picture of him. I got tickeled because he started laughing!

Ok, done with my random post for the week. You know how some things just hit you and you want to share?.....well there!!!
