Abel's 60th Birthday Party

Uncle Abel (my dad's oldest brother) had a surprise 60 th Birthday Party held at his daughter Dina's house. It's wonderful to share these special moments with all our family. Ava really enjoyed the D.J. and was a dancing machine. I on the other hand realized this is the part of pregnancy that sucks. I could not have any of the fancy little cocktails or eat the yummy raw oysters.

BIG NEWS

Ryan and I are thrilled to announce that Ava will be a BIG SISTER!!! Baby Nixon #2 will be here April (due date 4/20). I'm almost 11 weeks. We are so excited to be expanding our family!!! I’m just hoping and praying for another healthy pregnancy, delivery and baby.
So far this pregnancy has been just like with Ava...no nausea, just a little tired and a few headaches.

As of now Ava wants a sister.

 

Sea World

On the road again…..

Gramps had to make a meeting in Port Land on Friday. So Mimi, Ava and I tagged along. We had every intention to visit the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, but rain  was in the forecast all day. So as soon as Gramps was out of his meeting, about noon, we drove to San Antonio. No rain was going to  put a damper on our parade! That evening we enjoyed dinner and walking the River Walk. Saturday we had breakfast at the Market and did a little shopping. Then it was off to Sea World!! We all had so much fun.  Ava loved getting her face painted, watching the dolphins in Azul, playing in the water park and watching  the killer whales in One Ocean.

Game Day

We had a weekend full of Texas Football. Ryan went to the UT game with a group of his high school buddies. Patrick is getting married in October so they celebrated the whole weekend in Austin. My dad and I went to the Texans game. Little Miss. Ava enjoyed some one on one time with her Mimi.
