Ava's 1st Christmas

This is the v-tech center...it
does just about everything...she
loves it!!

The activity table was a huge
hit!!! she has played with that
more than anything else so far!!

A snap shot of a little of everything

Lilly the leap frog..she was also
a huge hit...awesome learning!!


THe gifts "were" stacked up nice
and neat....she climbed to the top
and destroyed the stack!!




I must say Ava really enjoyed
her 1st christmas. I took tons
of pics christmas morning, but i
am only going to post a few of my
favorites...we will be here all day if
i post them all:>) She really didnt tear
into her presents like i thought she
would...she was more interested in
climbing on the gifts...or just playing
with the box they came in...lol...i hope
everyone had a wonderful christmas, we
surely did:>)

Cookie/treat exchange

Ava just has to help mommy
clean up(yeah right)!!!


I totally forgot to take a pic
of all the cookie/treats everyone
brought...so here are a few of the
left overs i was stuck with:>)


More yummy sweets..


Look at the cute snow men cupcakes..
Amber won the prize for the best
decorated treat...and boy were
they tasty as well....good job
Amber:>)


We tried hard to get everyone to
look and smile at the same time..
we didnt have much luck to
say the least..LOL

Last Saturday i has a cookie/treat
exchange here at my house...it
turned out really well...everyone
really enjoyed themselves...we had
a ton of sweets, that's for sure!!! I
want to thank everyone for coming!!
I look forward to doing it again!!

I have been pictuce tagged by Kristen

OK...all my pics are out of order...i was
kinda scared to see what folder i going
to end up in....but this was the pic i landed
on..thank god its a cute one..LOL..its miss Ava
in her daddy's arms outside standing by his
truck..she has a obbession with hats...so she
had to have his hat...how cute is she in the
hat????way cute:>)

So much for putting locks on the cabinets

As you can see, Ava figured out how to
get the cabinet lock off!!! The pots and
pans cabinet wasn't a big deal...i don't mind
her playing with those...BUT the cleaning
cabinet..that's a NO NO...after she figured
out she could get them off...all the cabinets
in the kitchen were open!!! Even the cleaning
cabinet..i will definitely be buying new locks
asap so she doesn't drink the cleaning supplies!!

A new discovery for Ava

SO much for the "neatness" under me sink..lol..
A few weeks ago Ava "disappeared" into my room.
I peeked around the corner, and this was what
she was doing..exploring under my sink...picking
up one biting on it, then throwing it down!!

Hot momma alert!!!!

I got my hair "did" today...i decided to get
crazy and get something sassy...i have been wanting
to try bangs for a while now..so here we are...i had
bangs back in the day...when i look back i hated them!!
BUT these are much better, and what do ya know, bangs
are back in these days...look at Katie Holmes...thats
the look i was going for anyways...i know i am not
as cute has her OR has rich has her...but i can
pretend like i am..LOL..OH just to let you know, its
pretty hard to take a good pic of yourSELF...i'm not
very good at that..so take what you can get:>)

Early Christmas present

What a wonderful Christmas present:>)
I bought that onzie at wal-mart last
week...it was just too cute...it says..mom and
dad's best present ever!!! And that is
the truth, we love her to peices!!!!

Christmas Play

Ava and I went to a Christmas play at church
last night...i absolutley love this dress Ava
is wearing...i have been waiting/wanting to put her in
it!!! I finally got a chance:>) As you can see,
she wasnt to crazy about the buttons on there.
Her crazy butt was trying to BITE them off!!
My child is crazy:>)

Snack time

Goldfish anyone??? This is Ava's favorite
snack!!! She would eat goldfish all day if
i would let her...everytime i show them to
her, she claps her hands..LOL..like yay
goldfish time:>)

My little Reindeer

Cute story....
We went to the dollar store the other
day...Ava decides she wants to grab every
thing she can get her little paws on in the
check out line...she just happened to pick
up those antlers for a dog...i said, ummm i
bet that would make a cute picture..LOL..so
here you are...ava in dog antlers:>)

Should be a very interesting Christmas(to say the least)

I have been decorating the house for Christmas
the past several days...this just happened to be
the time i had the camera "handy" to get Ava in
action...needless to say, she hasn't left the tree
alone since we put it up!!!! As you can see, there
are not very many ornaments towards the bottom of the
tree!!!

Ava's new favorite thing to do...(this week anyways)

I put all the toys in the basket...
she takes them all out!!

If i stand on this pillow...

I just may be able to reach that basket!!!
Would you look at this stinker...she knows
she isnt suppose to play with that basket.
Of course i am sitting there telling her "NO"
Ava...she looks at me and laughs!! WOW
