Aven's New Pool

Today was so hot and Aven was getting super cranky so I decided to take my break and let him play in his new pool. He loved it! What's better than being naked in your own pool with a otter pop? I can't think of anything.

p.s. This is the internet so I had to black out his goods.

1st Ultrasound

Yesterday I had my first ultrasound. I was so excited and nervous the whole drive down there and prayed that everything would be normal and I would be able to see our little baby. After drinking 32 oz. of water and having to pee really bad. I was informed that this facility didn't take my medical group. WHAT?!?!?! You do not want to make a already emotional pregnant woman even more emotional. My doctors office sent me to the wrong place so I ended up paying cash for it. I was so mad that I almost had to reschedule somewhere else and get another day off of work.

Anyway they finally got me in for the ultrasound and as soon as I could see something on the screen I thought for sure that I saw two sacs. I thought oh great. Everyone has been saying they thought I was having twins and my sister Bridget was praying that was the case. So when I thought I saw two sacs on the screen my heart dropped. Thank God that I don't know anything about what the my inside are supposed to look like and it was just my extremely FULL bladder that I thought might be another baby. PHEW.

I was so relieved to see only ONE healthy little baby dancing around with a nice strong heartbeat. Suddenly the $234.00 I had to pay to see this amazing miracle wasn't so bad. I know you can't really see much in the picture but thought I'd put it up anyway.

3 more weeks and we will find out what it is. After this ultrasound I have a good feeling it is a boy. To all the 6 people who voted that I am having one of each all I have to say is.. Niener Niener!

Sweet little Addison

Today I had the pleasure of taking pictures for a friend of mine from high schools baby. She is such a cute little girl. All the cute clothes and bows got me really hoping this baby is a girl. ha She was so sweet and so well behaved. Hope you enjoy some of the pics....

Aven's Birthday at the Beach

For Aven's actual Birthday we took him down the the beach. We were going to do Disneyland but I decided since we spent so much on his party and it was so hot, and really I needed a tan worse than I needed to deal with a bunch of crazy people being pregnant and hormonal. We decided to go to the beach instead :)

We woke up early and took him to breakfast and then headed down to the beach. He had so much fun playing in the sand. I really think I need to move to the beach cause he was so well behaved the whole time. ha Weheaded home and he got a nap then we took him to get frozen yogurt. It turned out to be a really nice day. Even though he wont remember this day I know I will for years to come. Can't believe he's 1 already. :(

Trying to be cool like Daddy.

Aven's 1st Bday Party

This past Saturday we threw Aven his 1st Birthday party. I did it in Cowboy theme. We had so much fun and it's taken me this long to finally recover from it. As you can tell I am a little late posting pictures. Anyway here are some pictures from his party. Thanks to everyone who made it and for all the lovely gifts. We have one spoiled child!

Everyone was in their cowboy gear.

Aven's little cowgirl friend Kyndall :)

Aven's Cousin Cowboy Austin

We weren't really sure who this guy was but he showed up at the party. haha jk This is Seth...leave it up to him to wear something like this.

Aven and my Mom in the bounce house. You can tell he really enjoyed that.

No we did not give Landen anything to help him be a good boy he was good the whole time. He must have been tired from all the jumping. ha

Another shot of the Rhinestone Cowboy...nice boots!

Garrett & Ryan (Aven's friends) playing on the sand/water table.

What a good boy feeding his pregnant Mom cake. YUMMMY

He even fed all his cousins cake too.

Thanks to everyone again. YEEEEE HAWWWWW!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday, My little Aven Jace!

I never would have imagined how fast a year could go by. I know everyone always says that, but I really do mean it. I think this has been the fastest year of my life. I look at my little independent kid crawling around getting into everything and can't imagine that just one year ago he was born. I just got done finishing writing my birthday letter to him and was almost in tears. (Could be the pregnancy hormones)

I have been truly blessed with such an awesome kid and can't wait to see what God has in store for him and our family.

Happy Birthday Son! I love you!!

I will post some pictures from his party and from his birthday soon :)
