This year I feel I have truly truly been blessed. I have a wonderful husband, baby,family and friends.. Life has been crazy busy this past year, but its been one of the best years of my life.

Just a quick one!

Hello Hello!

Hope this finds you all doing well and staying warm! The weather has sure taken a turn for the worse around here. We only see the sun about 5 minutes a day. OHH to live in Hawaii. Well if we lived there I am sure we would still find something to bitch about! Like the ocean, or beaches, or flowers year round. Okay, I'm done!

Our week has been a lazy one! Ava and I haven't done much.. just rolled around on the floor, ate cereal and babbled and squealed all week! I did get her pictures back which I am super excited about!

Can I just tell everyone that I have made out hundreds of thank you cards this year and I'm still not finished. I promise you all that we will NOT have any events that require thank you cards in the next 2 years!!!

Anyways, the main reason for the blog today is to tell you about our picture website. Instead of emailing everyone I thought I would make a website full of pictures. On that site you will find tabs at the top of the page. Each tab has different pictures. Check it out! I hope you like it!

November Already!

Holy crap can you believe its November already?? October has come and gone so fast! That's okay, onto Turkey, Stuffing and all the fixings for Thanksgiving! Jason and I.. well, me really, hold Thanksgiving close to our hearts. We started our lives 2 years ago that day. Who would have thought in just 2 short years we would be married with a beautiful baby? I sure didn't. The first night I hung out with Jason was a rough one for me. I was nervous, really didn't want to hang out with him because I had a lot of homework at the time and to be honest I didn't want to get lost! (I wasn't to familiar with the area yet) But we all know what a bug-a-boo Jason can be. So-- finally I just decided to come over. But not without vomiting. Yes, its true. I was so nervous I threw up. It really isn't funny. :) Before I left I thought to myself this dude is really going to get a piece of me. If he doesn't like me the way I am, screw it. SO with that in mind. I was late. And we all know Jason falls asleep at 9. I showed up at 9:30. In my sweat pants and a hoodie. No make-up. And flip flops of course. I'll never know what went through his mind the first time we met but I know I was thinking.."oh shit..he's cute.. I should have at least wore jeans!" I was a little nervous because he wouldn't even sit next to me on the couch! Are you kidding me? I met a nice guy??... I left that night thinking... I'm coming back over tomorrow... in a pair of jeans! That kinda begins our story. I run out of things to blog about so I will share a few more stories later this month.. November is full of memories for us so I will share more with you...and remind my husband of a few :)

Anywho.. Ava's first Halloween was so fun! She looked super cute in her monster costume! She was busy girl visiting a ton a places! She didn't get any candy but hats okay, her uncle bub got a ton! We got to visit all of her grammy's and she ever got to experience her first gas leak. (LOL) and even visited a haunted house! And of course we can't forget her favorite blue monster.. Jack!

We've kept pretty busy this week. Ava had her first photo shoot on Monday! I know I am a slacker about professional pics but they got done! I couldn't be more happy with them and I got Christmas cards of out the deal! woohoo! If you haven't seen them..here are a couple..

She also had her 4 month check up on Wednesday! Which also meant more of them icky shots!! She didn't mind because she got cool band aids in the end! She weighed 17 pounds 9 ounces! Holy cow I was shocked! She was also 26 inches long. The doc said that her weight was completely normal and she is really long! Yeah Yeah.. I dunno where she gets her height from it has to be from Jason's grandpa or uncle! It skipped us that's for sure!!
