Per request of a cousin, I have added a Beatles song. I also love this song....I just have not thought about expanding my playlist lately. I also added a song for my hubby and oldest daughter(last song on the list).... Jason has turned Ava into a headbanger....yikes!!!!! I have made several attempts to video her antics when she hears this song (no success yet). She puts her little devil horns in the air and goes to town. Jay will only have himself to blame when she dyes her hair black and pierces something.....

My Snuggly Baby
Emma is my snuggly baby. I can put her on my shoulder and she just snuggles right into my neck....awww..... Ava never did snuggle....still doesn't. This morning Emma woke up about 4:00. She had been sleeping until about 7:00. I did not want to give her a bottle and throw her off schedule, so I put her in bed with me and she just snuggled right up to me and slept very soundly for another 3 hours (but I didn't....). Love my little snuggly bunny!

Reason I'm married to Jason....
For those of you that think I married Jason for his great looks and money.....well...I have to admit...it was entirley for the talents his family has! Not only do I benefit from his Mom's wonderful cakes...but his Aunt Sally can sew! She made this outfit for Ava....isn't it adorable.
"O" is for Oops!!!!
ok...So I decide I can get away to do a little office work this past Friday. Emma was in the swing sleeping and Ava was laying in the recliner watching Barney (almost asleep). I step into the office to check emails. I'm gone maybe 5 minutes. I hear a noise. I stop what I'm doing and tune in with my super sonic Mom ears. Emma isn't crying...so Ava isn't trying to smother her. It takes me about 10 seconds to recognize the noise...the glass doors on the fireplace opening. It takes another 5 seconds for it to register that the fireplace has not been cleaned out since the last fire (thanks Jason!!!). I run into the living room and see ashes all over the hearth/floor and my daughter holds up her hands and says "I made a mess". I take her to the sink to wash her hands and face thinking to myself "serves you right"...when Ava says "look at Mema".....
Holy Crap....................................................................................................................................................
side note*no baby was harmed during the making of this post......
When there was three....
The weekend before we became a family of 4, we decided to spend a special day with Ava. So we took her to the zoo. She had so much fun. All I kept thinking about was "in 3 days we will have another baby". I was so excited to have another little girl...but a little sad for Ava because now she would have to share us. I still deal with a little bit of guilt every now and then (lot less than right at first). Mostly when Ava wants me to do something with her and I cant because I cant leave Emma in the house alone or I'm feeding/rocking/changing...lol. Sometimes I feel like Ava did not get to be a baby long enough. Although she is 2 now and is growing up, she is still a baby to me. She likes to sit in "mama's lap" and she wants to be held. I am so grateful that we got to spend such a special day with her. Dont get me wrong...I know she will NEVER remember this day...nor her life before her baby sister....but we will and these are memories we can cherish!
She loved riding the horse!
A lift from Dad
It was not that sunny...but she wanted her "gasses"
We finished the day with Mexican...yum!!!Saturday, June 6, 2009
Ava's Second Birthday
Today I'm blogging Ava's second birthday party...which was...ummmm....almost 2 months ago. She had an e-i-e-i-o party. The invitations were the CUTEST!!! Found them on some website (cant remember name). They had the catchiest little rhyme about Old McBroussards Farm and a little girl turning two...and join us for a party at 12:00 till the cows come home. Her Granny took the invitation and designed her birthday cake (for those of you that have been reading my blog for a while, you may remember the 3 tiered pink cake from last year). Needless to say, my mother in law could never do cakes for the public...cause they just could not afford her....yeah...shes that good! After cake and presents the kids all got a pony ride (compliments of Uncle Tye), fed the fish in the pond and then fed the cows. It was a PERFECT day!!!
Count the candles and blow.....
Just one more reason I'm soooo lucky to have my mother in law...she made the cake!
mmmmm....good
everyone got a pony ride......then
fed the cows......Growing Up
My babies are growing up. Ava is 2 and Emma will soon be 4 months old. Time...please stand still for just a little bit. I so want to hold onto these days. These days that Ava is asking questions at a rate of a billion an hour...these days when Emma is starting to blow rasberries...these days that Ava is saying "Mama, I love you" "Mama, I hold you"....these days that Emma watches Ava and grins...these days when Ava asks for a hug...these days when Emma wakes up with a big grin on her face...these days when I can make them both happy by just jumpng around and singing...time...just slow down a little bit....
