Chocolate for breakfast

This morning Jack decided to give Ava a piece of chocolate while I was in the bathroom. My mom always has candy out around the holidays and he climbed on the bar to let her have a piece.. All I could do was laugh and take her picture.. It is a good thing she gets a bath every day after breakfast..

Ultrasound

Today my sister went and had a 4D ultrasound done and they were nice enough to let me see the baby. It was her friend that did her 4D so she asked if I wanted to see the baby and of course I said yes.. So here are a few picture they sent home with me.. His hand is over is face and you can see his nose mouth and one eye... Than they sent me home with a picture of his man parts.. I was extremely excited to be able to have the opportunity to see the baby.

Ava'a 1st Birthday

Here are just a few pictures from Ava's first birthday. I tried to upload a video but had no luck. I will try a little later.. I still can't believe she is one already. The year has gone by so fast.. We didn't do anything big just cake and ice cream with her cousins.. She just loved the cake but didn't want to grab it. She just put her fingertips in it. But as you can tell she got it all over her..

It's Feeling A Lot Like Christmas!

This weekend we got our Christmas tree and decorated it. Jack also wrote his letter to Santa. Here are some pictures of the start of our Christmas season.

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures for you Danny. Sorry that it has taken me forever to post them. We love you and miss you..

Deployment Day

I finally have some time to post some pictures. This is the day we dropped Danny off at the hanger to deploy.

Update

Well i finally have a little free time to update so here goes. We spent most of October in California for Danny's leave. We had the opportunity to run in the Nike woman's marathon in San Fransisco which was a total blast. My sister Amber and I all signed up in march to run but little did we know that we would both be expecting when the time came for the marathon so in the spirit of not quitting we just did the half while Danny ran the full. We had so much fun spending the weekend without the kids. Along with San Fransisco we took Jack and Ava to Sea World and the Wild Animal Kingdom. Jack had such an awsome time seeing all the animals. We were also lucky enough to have Halloween with our family this year and I really enjoyed seeing everyone in their costumes. Jack made it only a few blocks before he wanted to go home. Good thing for me not very much candy for him to eat. All and all we had a wonderful time at home and were sad to come home since that means Danny will be on his way to Afganistain. Soon after we got home Danny left and we packed up the rest of the house and made our 5 day trip home.. Yes it took us 5 days to get home. We had to tow the jeep and we could only go so fast.. We are now trying to settle in at my mom's house and hopefully things will settle down for us. Sorry there are no pitctures to post but I will get around to that in a few days..
