It snowed

Well a little.  I mean a dusting if that.  We were still excited though.  It melted within a day and Ava was so sad.  I took her out the first night after I got home from work.  She kept saying, "This is the best snow year ever"!!  I have no idea what that meant but I think she was excited.   It was SO cold we couldn't stay outside long. We had a snow ball fight, wrote our names in it, and just played. Who am I kidding, I enjoyed it as much as she did, if not more.  I am crossing my fingers for some more before Winter is over.
Of course I didn't take out little man.  He wasn't feeling good from his shots anyways.

 

 

 

6 Months!!

My little man is already 6 months old.  He is 15 lbs and 3 oz, and 27 1/4 inches long. 

He had his 6 month check up last week.  He got his shots and was a tough little man.  He has 2 teeth on the bottom and two more coming in on the top.  I think that is early.  Ava didn't get her first one till 7-8 months I think.  He is eating baby food great.  He loves carrots, sweet potatoes and apples so far.  He gags with green beans and peas....who can blame him.  He is so ticklish.  I love to make him laugh and smile.  It can totally change my day.  Ava is still obsessed with him.  I love it.  She had to be the one to feed him his first bite.  She thought she was sooo big :)

yum yum



 

My Birthday

Ok, behind as usual.

My birthday was wonderful.  Ava and Adam surprised me with a cake when I got home from work one day. It was so special.  They had me special cards, etc.

Me and Adam were able to have a day to do some fun stuff.  Of course since it was my birthday I chose what we did.  We shopped!!!!!!!!!!!!  What else?  I was able to actually shop.  It had been a while since I shopped in a store by myself.  You know where you can actually look through racks and try clothes on.  It was so nice.  We had a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Connors.

So cliche but time is flying.  I can't believe I am in my thirties.  I remember being a kid and thinking 30 was SO old.  What was I thinking??  LOL
I am blessed though.

Happy New Year

Little man's 5 month pic....behind as usual.

Happy New Year.   I hope and Pray that 2014 is a better year.  2013 Held many blessing because in actuality every day we are alive God has blessed us.   He gave us a Healthy loving little boy that I never imagined I would have.   God is merciful and so good to us.   We have faced sickness but I know God knows all about it.  

Love this picture of Liam.  

Me and Ava went Ice Skating at an outdoor rink.  I took her last year and she NEVER let me forget to go back this year.   We had a good afternoon, Liam stayed home in the warm house with his daddy.

We experienced record low temperatures this week.  I hoped and prayed for snow but we only saw a dusting.  OH well.   I had this cute suit for Liam.  Adam said he looked like the kid in A Christmas Story.  He did and then we couldn't stop laughing at him.  Liam didn't find it funny.

Christmas 2013

The month of December is always so busy.  I think this was the busiest EVER!!  and it was a short month.  I felt like there was something to do or somewhere to go EVERY day.  I love this time of year though so I enjoyed it.
We had the Christmas Parade in our town.  We love going to that even if it is small.  I love all the Christmas traditions!!!
Then we had our Christmas play at church.  Ava was Mary in the play and Liam was baby Jesus.  I thought it was so special.  I found myself getting emotional thinking of what Mary must have felt, and just having kids of my own now it takes on new meaning.

We went to Disney on Ice and I closed my eyes in picture

Liam tried rice Cereal for the first time and loved it.

Me and Ava did our annual baking

She was an Angel in School Christmas play

We had an Elf (Candy Cane) visit us from the North Pole.  All month she was into something.  She rolled Ava's bedroom one day.  Ava loved seeing her do new things every day.

We had dinner at my house!  It was full of family and traditional food!  We had a blessed day.  We all went around the table telling what we were thankful for.  I really tried not to get emotional and cry. :)
