The Harms Family

Here's To Hoping

2010-06-15T14:02:00.000-07:00

So I go to the Doc today to get cast taken off and re Xrayed if he tells me it needs to go back on, I will politly ask to go the the Potty First then bolt for the door. I refuse to have this thing on any longer.

My Latest And Greatest Pregnancy Fiasco!

2010-05-27T22:04:00.000-07:00

So because I am so graceful in life I decided to tumble down the stairs. Being extra smart I thought I could catch all of me and my baby weight with my poor little hand. Turns out you can't without consequences. So this happened on Saturday after much pain and deliberation i agreed to an X-ray (on Thursday) the Doctors had to really convince me and put like 5 lead vests on me. Turns out it was good to do because i Did break the Bird! Granted it's down in the palm but rightly so i have a reason to have that finger up in salute for three weeks in a hot pink cast. Life just gets better and better.

Our Big Change!

2010-05-20T22:58:00.000-07:00

So i figured I should post on here in case some of you aren't on facebook. Troy and I are expecting. Yea it was a total surprise baby, but after thinking well Amelia will be two I can handle this, I will make it. SURPRISE we went to our twenty week ultrasound and Yippee I am finally going to have me a little boy however He didn't want to make the journey on his own so he grabbed a partner, a little sis. So yes surprise we are having TWINS! Cute little boy and girl. Due to arrive in September if I make it I already hurt. This will be a new journey and yes a fun and exciting one. And to answer all the questions, no history of twins, no use of fertility just a fluke incidence....or God's way of showing Troy and I that he is in charge.

Don't Panic

2010-03-22T22:42:00.000-07:00

Just a little Bird Fun. Amelia loves the bird. Ava took some getting use to, but Amelia is just like Troy fearless and willing to try anything.

This is Ava's new bike. It's still needs some work but it is a blast from the past for me. Ava loves it and thinks that her "banana Seat" has a funny name.

Yes it's us. I have been a slacker at blogging but i have been posting more on facebook. So I apologize to my few followers and would love to share a few pics.

Some Pics of Ava

2009-07-22T16:26:00.000-07:00

Amelia's One Year Pics

2009-07-22T12:20:00.000-07:00

So we fianlly went and got pictures of my little one. Sad how with the first you take them all of the time. Amelia has now only had professional photos done twice. I think they turned out pretty good however.

Fire Fire!

2009-06-18T12:52:00.000-07:00

So our ward did a really fun activity for the kids today. We got to go explore the new Springville Fire station. It was so nice and so much fun for the little ones.

Swimming Lessons

2009-06-18T12:48:00.000-07:00

This is Ava's first year in doing swimming by herself without mommy or daddy. She does really good at getting her whole face in the only thing she hates is going down the darn slide and getting cold.

Dance

2009-06-18T12:45:00.000-07:00

This is just a few photos of My little Aviator's Dance Recital. Thanks to all of the family that came to watch her develop this talent. I got two for one out of this because Not only did Ava dance but she also sang every song that went with her dance.

Sea World

2009-06-18T12:33:00.000-07:00

So really we went to sea world a long time ago but I am a slacker. So here it is we had a lot of fun. Ava's favorite part was petting the sting ray's Amelia's was proably the 3D Sesame Street Show.

Disneyland

2009-05-15T13:28:00.000-07:00

So this is us in Disneyland. We were excited to finally take Ava to this fun and magical place. She loved it. Most of all the Princess's. Amelia was a tropper and stuck the whole 10 hour day out with us.

More Beach Fun

2009-05-15T13:16:00.000-07:00

As You can see Amelia had a bit of a run in with the sand. Poor girl was teething on the trip and so she had a goober nose to add to it whenever she is in the wind her eyes run so add that to a face plant in the sand and this is the result. She loved it though didn't cry once.

BEACH FUN

2009-05-15T13:08:00.000-07:00

So we recently went to California For a little family fun. While there we decided to introduce Ava to the Ocean. Didn't go so well at first as you can see from the photo. The water was way too cold for her. But with a little help from Grandpa David she soon got the hang of it. Amelia of course loved it, anything big and dangerous she is a magnet too. We also stopped by the Newport Beach Temple while there. It is so beautiful.

Swinging Fun

2009-03-18T11:51:00.000-07:00

Before Troy went back to work we decided to get a swing set to buy mom some sanity time. It works The kids both absolutely love it.

MAKEUP TIME!

2009-03-18T11:42:00.000-07:00

Ouch

2009-03-17T17:01:00.000-07:00

My Poor little nephew was wrestling with his older brother Devin and OPPS!
He crash landed on his knee with his mouth. Lost four front teeth and as you can see wasn't bothered much by it.

CHEER COMPETITION

2009-03-07T21:10:00.000-08:00

For those who don't know, my Niece Shinae cheers for the Spanish Fork High School. About a month ago I went to her competition in Riverton or somewhere like that. It was really fun to watch. They didn't place but they did do a great job. If you want to spot who she is, she has dark long hair and will be featured in all of the photos (not that I am biased).

Do you think Amelia likes her Mouth!

2009-03-07T20:56:00.000-08:00

So all of these Photos were taken in one night. As you can see Amelia really likes to explore everything via the mouth. She loves the tub now that she can crawl around in it and get around to chase her toys. Mom likes it because its easier to bathe a child that can hold themselves up while I do the washing.

Being Domestic!

2009-02-26T21:23:00.000-08:00

So Finally Troy got me a wheat grinder and I decided to put it to use. Here is my first batch which turned out to be a night mare. My recipe was way to big for my mixer so I was forced into being a Pioneer and i kneaded my bread by hand for 23 minutes. Good workout, I was afraid it would not turn out because I wasn't using a mixer Heaven for bid. Sad how we forget that these recipes came from those who only had two hands to make bread. Anyway all in all the Bread turned out okay but I didn't let it rise enough so I will do better next time.

GOOD CLEAN FUN!

2009-02-26T21:18:00.000-08:00

Amelia is obsessed with the vacuum you turn it on and no matter where she is she crawls very quickly to get there and then she sits right in front of it making the job a bit more challenging than necessary.

Valentine Fun!

2009-02-26T21:13:00.000-08:00

A few Days before Valentine's, Troy's sister's Kids came over to help us out in decorating cookies. We had tons of fun as you can see. I think that Julian has a serious sweet tooth he was constantly eating the frosting off the knife.

MY LITTLE PONY SALON

2009-01-28T17:43:00.000-08:00

I bet most of you didn't know that you can treat My little Pony Hair the same way as Human Hair.....well you can and leave it to Ava to want to experiment. Ava has every single My little pony memorized along with the theme song. She absolutely loves Ponies. Last night we were a bit bored and Ava wanted to bathe her Ponies. So I let her I went in to find that they were getting the full spa treatment with shampoo and conditioner. So I stepped in and combed the hair out then Ava had the idea for rollers. It turned out pretty Afro as you can see on Star Song the Purple pony. Too bad we didn't do something to Ava's own hair.

CANADA!

2009-01-28T16:33:00.000-08:00

This was our wonderful trip to Canada. We went up to see Troy's mom, Marlo, and Grandma just after the new year. You can see that we had tons of fun. Ava mostly enjoyed playing with Grandpa and Grandma's horses everyday as well as the cats. My favorite part was learning how to make Gail's delicious bread although as you can see Ava got the hands on experience not me. Also while in Canada we went to Calgary for the day to visit Troy's old friends from up there and I was dumb and forgot my camera so you won't see them int he photos but it was great fun seeing them again and meeting some new ones as well.

Undecorating!

2009-01-28T16:16:00.000-08:00

So while Troy and I were busy undecorating the house from all of the Christmas stuff, we found that Amelia was enjoying the decorating a little more than we were. She got a hold of a glass ball while we were busy not paying attention, and continued to put it where everything that she holds goes....right into the mouth. This is how we found her a silver ball in her hand which use to be red and her face covered in paint. Let's hope that was not lead based.

The Puppies Are Here!

2009-01-28T16:11:00.000-08:00

My sister Allison's Dog Lila recently had 5 puppies. They are so cute and cuddly. We took Ava up to see them right before we headed off to Canada. Ava was a natural mother Hen with them. She loved them all as you can see. Milie didn't care too much for them.

Not Something You See Everyday!

2009-01-01T15:16:00.001-08:00

So for my 30th Birthday, Troy's 28th Birthday, & our 6th Annivaersay Troy decided to take me up to Danial's Summit Lodge to get away. It was very fun to get away just the two of us with no kids and just actually sleep through the night with no crying. Also why we were up there we went snowmobiling for the day up at Strawberry Resevoir. Not exactly relaxing but very fun. On our way home we saw the above fighting. It was so amazing I have only seen a few moose in my life but never two of them together and fighting. Luckily we had my camera. So we got some fun photos. Thanks Melissa for enduring 5 kids alone while we snuck away to play.

Merry Christmas

2009-01-01T14:59:00.001-08:00

Amelia's Gifts from Santa

Ava's Gifts From Santa

Amelia Mostly enjoying the wrapping paper and her new 8oz bottle poor girl only has 4 oz ones and it's never enough food.

Ava kept asking Santa for a sleeping beauty doll and this is the best that was come up with. A sleeping beauty doll that doubles as bubble bath. She was very excited didn't care about the 4wheeler that dad secretly asked Santa to get her.

Enjoying more wrapping paper.

This is what I gave my princesses a ton of dress up clothes.
We had a great Christmas. The best part was that Troy was able to be home. He enjoyed seeing Ava's excitement over everything.

MY BABY LOVES TO EAT!

2008-12-16T20:53:00.000-08:00

We started Amelia on Solids the night of her 4 month appointment as soon as I got the Okay from the Doc. She is not the best night sleeper so he told me to give it a go and see if it helps her. This is her enjoying some rice cereal and sweet potatoes.

She also loves to pretend that she can drink from a sippie but once she gets it she just chews on the lid.

I love that face. She is such a good eater. However she is still an awful sleeper.

BIRTHDAY GIRL

2008-12-16T20:39:00.001-08:00

Here it is my little sweet Ava's 3rd Birthday. It's taken me so long to write about it because i am in so much shock. I can't believe I have a three year old. Ava loves the Backyardigans Cartoon So this is my attempt at making a Uniqua Cake which is her favorite character.

Ava getting mad because Amelia being the big eater that she is grabbed the cake before we could get a picture.

However No fear Big sis helped her clean up.

Ava got so many fun gifts. Thanks to everyone for coming. It was so much fun to celebrate.

DANCING QUEEN

2008-12-16T20:32:00.001-08:00

A few weeks ago Ava's dancing class celebrated Crazy Hair and Sock Day! This is the best we could come up with.

Isn't that the face of an Angel.

Waiting in the front room for her car pool to pick her up. Ava loves dancing class. It is so cute to watch her dance. I just hope she listens to her teachers better than she listens to me.

FOUR MONTHS!

2008-11-18T14:19:00.000-08:00

Well little Amelia is four months and what a Doctor appointment we had. Not only did she gain 3 more lbs. Now tipping the scales at 14 lbs. 12ounces, but she grew 4.5 inches. All of that in two months, but to top the appointment off, she was diagnosed with chest congestion, ear infection, eye infection, and a yeast infection. What kind of mother have I become. Poor girl I just thought she had a little stuffy nose.

THIRTY WHAT!!!!

2008-11-18T14:06:00.000-08:00

So ya I hit the big 30 and Have to admit it wasn't as bad as I thought. I was so scared of turning thirty. I think I just thought okay, well now my life will be different I'm old for one, My skin will instantly turn to crap, my metabolism will be shot, and my child bearing years will be over. However now that I am here It's not to bad, my skin is still good a few wrinkles here and there, metabolism? get back to you on that one, and kids well I'm sure there will be more if it is up to me. I don't know why the kid one bugged me back when I was 21 I never wanted to even get married and have kids until I was beyond 30 because I wanted to just have a little bit of ME time. I guess the Lord changed my mind. I am grateful for the thirty years so far they have been very wonderful and eventful. I hope I have thirty more wonderful years in me. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the day a great one especially Troy. He is the best hubby it was worth giving up the ME time to snag him.

Dinosaur Fun!

2008-11-15T11:05:00.000-08:00

So the other day we decided to go to the Dinosaur Museum in Lehi for a family activity. We invited the Christensen's to join us.

Troy and Ava Digging in the dirt at the museum.

Troy made a whole lake with Islands.
Paul (Wyatt's Dad) made a Dam which eventually broke through. I think Him and Troy had more fun then the kids.

Climbing thru the cave.

Ava, Wyatt, and Their new Friend!

This is our attempt and trying to make the photo look like Troy was being eaten by a shark all we got out of it was......if you look really close you can see Troy's Gum in his mouth.

Don't ask what Ava's shirt was doing she was pitching a fit because she didn't want to sit by this scary thing.

The little Paleontologists. At the end of the museum they have this area where you can dig for Dinosaur's. The kids loved it. Thanks Wyatt for coming with us Ava had so much fun.

WE HAD A GREAT HALLOWEEN. MY KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THEIR COUSINS AND FRIENDS. AVA WAS GREAT AT TRICK OR TREATING SHE WENT UP TO EVERY DOOR AND ALWAYS SAID THANKS. SHE WOULD THEN PULL OUT THE CANDY AND WANT TO EAT IT. THE BEST THING OF ALL IS THAT TROY SHOWED UP AT HOME IN THE AFTERNOON AND WAS ABLE TO SPEND THE EVENING WITH US BEFORE HEADING BACK TO WORK.

PUMPKIN FUN WITH GRANDPA!

2008-11-01T11:03:00.001-07:00

Since Troy was gone the night before Halloween we dicided to use the next best man. Grandpa came to help Ava carve her pumpkin.

So Ava does not care much for carving but more for blowing out the candle inside the pumpkin. Thanks Grandpa for helping.

It's a Bummer Aging!

2008-11-01T10:55:00.000-07:00

So Milie is now three months old and I was trying to get a picture of her because I thought she was looking really cute. Well she thought otherwise. I snapped the camera and she got ticked off. this was the result.

Still not happy.

Finally there is my pretty girl.

Happy Birthday Shayla

2008-10-27T21:44:00.000-07:00

CHUCK E CHEESE PLEASE!

So In case you can't guess what we did. For Shayla's 3rd Birthday we were invited to go to Chuck E cheese with their Family. It was a lot of fun. Ava at first hated it and cried because of the life sized Chuck E Cheese Band. Poor girl it scared her to death. Aunt Jennifer comforted her and soon she was just fine. She loved playing on all of the toys. Most of all we loved this photo booth in case you can't tell. For one token (25cents) you can get your picture taken. I figured hey this is cheap photography. So went to town taking photos.

Amelia being held by Shinae!

Ignore me in the background I was trying to get a photo of Ava and Amelia and this was the only way I could get cooperation.

Great family photo for only a quarter.....kidding. It was a great day Thanks for inviting us.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN RAWLINS

2008-10-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

JUST THREE THINGS

Sit in a Trailer. That what we did for most of the time while out visiting Troy. It was so cold there that we didn't want to take little Milie out so we watched a lot of movies. Rawlins is a small town that basically shuts down at 5pm.

Second thing to do in town....Bowl but only for a few choice hours a day is the bowling alley open. Go figure it took us like three attempts to find it open.

Ava lost interest on the 10 frame. But she loved it she had a 6lb ball that she could barely carry.

Last thing to do in Rawlins is this train. Just some random train in a park. No reason just there. There is also a historic Prison in Rawlins but when we went to go they only took cash which we didn't have and by the time we went to go get it and go back no luck because they only do two tours a day and we missed them both. Then we went back another day and they were closed to decorate for Halloween. Oh Well! We had fun with dad and that was the reason for going. We miss you dad finish the well out there and come home.

Harvest Time!

2008-10-24T10:29:00.001-07:00

APPLE PICKING ANYONE!

My sweet little Ava.

The darling Shayla.

What a Pair of beauty's.

So most of you know that my dad is a Crop Duster who can't seem to retire. He sprayed apples for some rancher out at west mountain and the guy told us to come and pick some. Well we took advantage as you can see. We felt like savages out there. It was so fun we just kept picking and didn't realize that we had so many. Poor rancher will never ask us back we definitely took advantage of the situation.

PUMPKIN TIME

Well Here it is our little Harvest of Pumpkins. I thought that it would be a fun thing to grow this year little did I know how big a Pumpkin plant gets it took over the whole garden but the out come was worth it we got 6 pumpkins in all.

This is the only one Ava could carry.

Tag

2008-09-28T15:30:00.000-07:00

Okay fine I guess it's my turn to Tag! So the rules are: when someone tags you, you are supposed to write about the subject (in this case quirks) on your blog and then tag 6 more people to do the same.

So here it goes
1. I love watching people. Some may think I'm weird when I am just staring off into space but in reality I am watching you and trying to figure out life. Crazy I know.

2. I too like almost everyone else. Love to read. I locked myself in my room with my newborn when Breaking Dawn came out and read for two says straight, who knows how my poor little Ava survived.

3. I hate a wrinkly Pillowcases. My mom who is the clean freak of the world laughed when she saw me Iron pillowcases. I don't do it every day but I do it when they come out of the wash. I like a crisp pillow to lay on.

4. Along those same lines, I love clean sheets. I can't wait to climb into a bed at night when I have changed my sheets. I love the feel and the smell. Too bad life is to busy and I can't change them daily because i probably would....but then I'd never get out of bed.

5. I hate the feel of cement. Lately I hate walking outside bare foot because I can't stand to touch the concrete. Don't know why it just all of the sudden became an issue.

6. Last of all.....I hate putting away clothes that my baby has grown out of. It literally upsets me. I stew over it and get so upset because she hasn't worn it that much and it's a waste of money, or the fact that she grew up to fast and it no longer fits. I am weird but the thought will consume my mind for hours.

There now you know a little more about me. I now Tag Sarah, Tiesha, Melissa, Melanie, Allison, and Yanary.

Harvest Fun

2008-09-21T22:09:00.001-07:00

Every year Good Old Spanish Fork Puts on a Harvest Festival at the Park. It had great activities for the kids. Ava was so excited when I told her we were going and that we were going to ride ponies. She absolutely loves them. So she ran to her room, put on her boots, and hat and we were off.

Keaton and Seth my nephews.

Shayla, Ava, Keaton, Lukas.

Whoa Princess! This is what Ava calls every Horse no matter what it's gender may be.

Future Rodeo Queen!

Attack of the Sticker Queen

2008-09-16T14:06:00.001-07:00

A sample of What Ava has done to herself in the past.

So snyone who knows Ava well, knows that she loves stickers. I am constantly finding them all over my home and in my floor. The other night I was being domestic and Canning Salsa and my little Millie got fussy. I went to check on her and this is what I found....

Poor Millie had been attacked with stickers. I laughed and then got mad because Ava found the stickers in my room. They were to be a gift for my niece Shayla but oh well.

Amelia's Blessing

2008-09-16T13:46:00.000-07:00

Proud papa

This is our atempt at trying to get a shot of the Harms grandkids. As you can see it didn't work to well Ameila was hapy but Melissa had to hold down the rest.

My parents with Amelia.

We finally got to bless Amelia. This has been the hardest blessing to organize I finally just gave up on trying to get everyone here and told Troy we were doing it before he went back to work. So We got to do it on saturday the 13th. Troy had to be to work at 8am sunday morning so we couldn't get it done on the sabbath but it was still a nice day regardless. Most of my family was there and Troy's sister and her family drove up from St. George(thanks).

A Month In Review

2008-08-29T15:09:00.000-07:00

Well I am a slacker on my bloggin. However in my defense I have been busy. After giving birth to Amelia just three weeks I was wisked away to Bend Oregon for Troy's brothers wedding. Chad married Brittney on August 8th. It was a nice wedding and a beautiful city. We certainly enjoyed our short visit there. After that we had to rush home for my niece Whitney's wedding. She was married up in Payson canyon so we have done our fair share of traveling. Our little baby has been all over the country and she is just 6 weeks old. Amelia has been growing and learning so much its crazy. I feel like I have been robbed of time. She is such a little chunker and developing so fast. Already she is lifting her head so good and she is starting to coo. I forgot how fast they grow up. We are enjoying life with two kids....it's a little crazy but it is fun.

A month In Review Cont...

2008-08-29T14:59:00.000-07:00

This is what 6 weeks of growing looks like. Amelia is getting so good at holding her head up and just about rolling over if she tilts her big head over far enough, the rest of the body follows.

This is Amelia giggling at Ava. Her big sis is so silly. Amelia loves watching Ava and is always smiling when she does.

Amelia and Dad! She's cryin, you can tell she likes momma better!

Bathtime with Big Sis.

Ava with her famous deatrh grip on Amelia. She holds her around the neck. Poor thing it will be a miracle if she survives infancy.

First Bath

2008-07-20T15:45:00.000-07:00

Amelia's first bath, still at the hospital, she liked getting her hair washed the best out of the whole bath thing.

But the combing of her hair was the hightlight of it all you can just tell by her smile and closed eyes.

Our New Family of Four!

2008-07-20T15:23:00.001-07:00

Well we finally did it. 9 months in Utah's desert heat has paid off. On Wed July 16th we welcomed our beautiful Amelia Mary Harms into the world. She was so much easier to bring into this world than my lovely little fireball Ava. Both girls are worth it though.

Amelia meeting her momma face to face for the first time!

Amelia meeting Ava. Ava didn't quite understand we told her that her sister was here but she kept pulling up mom's hospital gown and saying "No sister is in you tummy here let me hold her" and she then attempts to hold my tummy. It didn't take long for her to grasp it. When she had to leave with her aunt she screamed for hours saying that she missed her mommy and sister.

Grandpa! He got to the hospital right after she was born and pretty much took over. He was so excited to meet her. Amelia's middle name is after my dad's mom Mary who passed away while I was serving my mission. She was a great woman. Amelia has big shoes to fill.

Okay not the greatest photo. Me and my girls post birth. When Troy has the camera he never tells you when he's taking the photo so this is the look you get. Me with a dumb face and Ava with cloed eyes.

Amelia on the second day of her life with Dad and Big sis.

Family Camping

2008-07-13T19:42:00.001-07:00

A few weekends ago we decided to go out camping with a few of our family members. We had tons of fun and Ava had many new adventures.

Call us Utahns or white trash whatever fits but yes that is Troy teaching Ava had to shout a gun at the lovely age of 2. We are good parents!

This was the cleanest Ava was the whole trip. She was constantly covered in mud. It's great to be a kid.

Jaron, Lukas, and Ava on the 4 wheelers.

Summer Fun

2008-07-13T19:26:00.000-07:00

This Year we did mommy and me swimming again. On the slide day however in was Daddy and me. Troy is under there he just happen to not land on his feet. Being the smart man that he is....he wore his glasses while doing this and lost them when he went under. They had to stop the slide and everyone went searching until they were found!

Lost his footing that time too. Ava did not appreciate going under at all!

Aren't they so cute together I am a lucky woman.

My sweet Little Ava loves being outside! This was me playing with my new camera trying to figure out how to use it. Isn't she a cutie I am a biased mom.

Last Family Vacation Before the Little One!

2008-06-21T16:03:00.000-07:00

This Picture was taken inside Jewel Cave. This is the second Largest cave in the world. We only took a short tour of it however due to the fact that Ava had to pee. Darn Potty Training.

Ava enjoying some Ice Cream at Mount Rushmore!

The best part about DIAPERS they hide CRACK! We have been potty training Ava which is going okay. On this little hike Troy decided to carry her and as I was lagging behind I noticed this lovely site.

You can see that we went to lovely South Dakota! Okay not a whole lot to do there we did it all in two days. Not my ideal vacation spot but it actually was really amazing. Troy decided to do a little road trip because he had to go to Casper to do some work for a day and then we could take out the New trailer to break it in. This seemed like the best place to go that was near Casper. So we went to Mount Rushmore and a tone of Caves that Ava thought were Fun!

Our back patio we have wanted for sometime. Now we just need the stairs to access it but that will have to be Troy's next Trip home. Bless his heart I always have a list when he comes into town I love him and he hates my lists.

Make way for Baby!

Troy and I along with others have been busy getting ready for the Baby! Troy has had the past three weeks off so I took full advantage and put him to work. We have made several changes to our home some were a necessity to prepare for the baby but others were just things we have wanted to do for some time. Our most important project was the one above. We needed a new room for Ava because her little sis will take over her room. We decided to move Ava into the only other room that was upstairs however it has been occupied as our office/junk room. So we turned our living room into an office. These cabinets are located in the living room and as soon as they are painted will house my junk as Troy calls it but in an organized fashion. We Hope! They were built by David and Justin Blair and they are wonderful! Justin is Troy's Brother in Law.

Notice the frames....I made those I can be crafty when I choose to be!

This is the old office now transformed into Ava's room. I had so much fun shopping and putting this room together. Ava loves it because of all the birds.

Polka Dot Bikini

I bought this bikini for Ava because I thought it was darling and Troy threw the modesty card at me. I know I know....but she looks so darn cute. Notice the Ducati motor cycle she really is a Hottie with that...Allison this should be your new Ducati Hottie Model. She will try to sit on that tiny motor cycle and ride it. Also the string cheese is her food of choice.

Napoleon Dynamite!

So This is our little Ava who has discovered her Moon Boots! They were a hand me down and she loves to wear them. She has discovered their hiding place and runs their first thing every morning to put them on. We don't let her venture outside in them, but you have to admit they make a great fashion statement.

Welcome
