Today is Aaron and my 7 year anniversary of marriage. So far so good...no itch:-) I feel so blessed to have such an amazing husband and father to my children. I can't believe how blessed we are to have the life that we do. Thank you to our family and friends that support our marriage!
Our family!
Malia is such a great big sis. She is helping me give Ava a bath and loves giving her kisses! We are so lucky!
Here we are at our stop in Eburg. We realize that it is a little out of the way but it is such a powerful piece of our family. My father was the first in our whole family (extended as well) to go to college and he attended Central. My brother went there and met his wife there. I went and met Aaron there...so it is wonderful to go back. We do laugh at the fact that it looks nothing like when we went there!
Here are the cousins...Malia adores them...Ava will once she is a bit older. There is about 2-3 years between each one.
This picture has Kenzie on the dock and Chad on the big trampoline. It is awesome because we could watch them right from our deck!
Chad and Dad loved the hot tub...well everyone did to be honest.
Poor Ava looks so pitiful in the bjorn...I swear she likes it!
The whole family! We were so lucky because Sage, her mom, Jack, and Ruby came for a visit one day! I think Malia is in love with Jack...they played the whole time. Sage was nice enough to take this family photo with everyone in it!
The girls taking a break from playing...it was a busy 5 days!
Dad and I at the winery...that was an adventure I will never forget. We all decided to walk...up a highway...to get to the winery...in the heat...did I mention I will never forget it? 
I say it all the time...I cannot believe how quickly the girls are growing. Ava is two months old and life is moving right along. I almost hesitate to put in writing what a great sleeper Ava is... I don't want to jinx it. Let's just say she sleeps better than Malia does. :-) There are still sleepless nights but it is not ANYTHING like with Malia. Ava is gaining weight like you wouldn't believe. She has her next dr. appt. on Monday and I am curious to see how much weight she has gained...she loves to eat. She is a very happy baby and Malia adores her. We feel so very lucky. I am back to work next Friday for a few days...I am feeling a bit anxious but I know she is in great hands with Daddy and Grammy. Take care!!
How lucky are we???? She is so wonderful!
We continue to be in amazement of Ava and Malia. We feel truly blessed that we have two wonderful and healthy girls. They both have such distinctive personalities and are a joy to be around. We also feel so lucky to have such great friends. Malia's best friend Hailey came for a visit. They only see each other a few times a year (we are going to change that!) but it is so cute. They are only 17 hours apart and Holly and I are adamant they will be BFF's for life:-) What a wonderful journey this is.
The best big sister!
Cheese!
The daddies are on swing set duty!
Now it is the mommies turn.
The girls loved the swing set!
Almost 3 years old...big girls!
Too cool for the adults now...they loved playing without us around.
