We are super blessed to have great neighbors and a bonus is
3 of us have girls within a few days apart. One of the moms is even a sorority
sister of mine – small world. This past Sunday Annabel invited us over to build
Gingerbread House/Train. It was a hit for the mom’s and the girls!!

Aida's 50th Birthday
After the party we hauled butt to LaPorte for Aida’s 50th
Birthday. There was NO WAY we were going to miss that. She is the BEST aunt
ever to Ava and I/Ryan. She is so selfless and always puts her family 1st.
She makes the BEST grilled cheese and meatloaf. She also spoils Ava with her
love, time and gifts. We LOVE her so much!

All the sisters & brothers

All the nieces and nephews (minus aunt Kathy)
Girls Annual Christmas Party
Saturday I hosted our Girl’s Annual Christmas Party. This
year it was a little different and included the kiddo’s. Which I hope we
continue because I want them to grow up and know one another. We have the 2
oldest girls: Katelyn and Ava. They play great together and are really starting
to understand their little friendship. Ava couldn’t wait for Katelyn to get to
the party! Then we have all the boys: Jacob, Wyatt and Miles…boy #4 will be
mine. So next year these little guys will have a blast!!
I love how my friendship with these girls has lasted over 10
years. It has evolved from crazy college sorority girls to mommy’s. I’m so grateful
to have each one of them in my life.
Santa Picture 2013
Not sure I have said it enough…I…LOVE…having…every other
Friday off. This past Friday Ava and I ran some errand, I took her to see Santa
and we meet dad for lunch at Salt Grass. Lunch at Salt Grass has become our “Friday
lunch date with dad”. We have met him for lunch the past 3 Fridays. We all look
forward to it. Ava loves the atmosphere of all the animals on the walls and Ryan and I love
the food. Win. Win.
Santa picture to come
Can't go to the mall without riding on the carousal.

Silly Ava Girl
Ava is just so funny at this age. The things she says are
just too darn cute or hilarious.
She will call the boys (Teddy & Boudreaux) – her buddies and her pals
She will tell us the boys are asking her for a treat.
Her 1 chore is to feed and give the dogs water. If their
bowls are empty she will say, “They were very hungry or thirsty”.
When it’s time for bath, I will say “I’m ready”….meaning the
bath water is ready. She will then run to
Ryan and say “Save me dad”. Once undressed in the restroom she will
either run off or ask to use the potty and when I’m not looking run off saying,
“You can not catch me”. I usually
scream to Ryan, “We have a runner” and he brings her back to me.
I’ll make her try to potty before we leave the house or
before bedtime. If she cant go she will say, “My tee tee don’t work”.
When Ryan doesn’t shave his face and has a slight beard she
will call them “skinny’s”.
If I tell her “No” to something she will go to Ryan and say,
“Mommy told me No”. Ryan is such a sucker. He will give in AND she knows it.
If she wants something like lollipop or candy she will say, “I
don’t not have a lollipop “ and slump her shoulders and head down while making
a sad face.
Ryan will give her a surprise if she eats all her dinner. He
will say, “close your eyes”. She will squeeze her little eyes tight and cover
her face with her hands. If Ryan takes too long she will start to peek.
If she doesn’t want to try something new to eat, she will
say “its too spicy for me”.
If Ryan or the boys do something she doesn’t like (example:
knock over her toys) she will say, “you need to go to the thinking corner” or “I’m
going to spank your booty”.
She has a crazy imagination. She will jump from couch to
couch saying, “Help or Ayudame” I’m going to fall into the gooey geyser/prickly
thorns (thanks Dora the Explore).
She will also put her babies (stuffed animals) to sleep and
request us to be quiet because they are sleeping.
I’m trying to teach her to speak softly in public. She has
said some things aloud like, “What’s that man doing”, Why did he do that”, etc.
Luckily nothing too embarrassing. I have however given her a little nudge to
move a little faster in a store and she has said, “mommy don’t push me or mommy
don’t do that to me”. Sheesh.
My favorite is every other Friday I’m off (and if I don’t have
a lot to do) I will ask her when she wakes up, “Do you want to go to school or
stay home with mommy”. She will scream, “Stay home with mommy” and give me a
huge hug.
…oh I’m sure there is more I can’t think of now. I just
wanted to jot some down to remember them forever.

Little Brother
I had my 20 week ultra sound and checkup yesterday. Little Brother
is doing great! We did a lengthy ultra sound measuring all his body parts and
internal organs. He is measuring about 21wks/3days and is almost a 1lb. I drank
a little Dr. Pepper before my visit so he was very active. I saw him moving all
around. We were able to get some clear/good shots of him.
As far as me, I’m measuring right on track. I have gained about 10lbs, blood pressure looks great and all my lab work came back normal. My next visit is January 2nd for my glucose screening. Yuck.
