I'm sure most of you have heard of the show "The Office" on TV. I know my family loves it. I wanted to share with you something that we did to our boss. We wrapped everything in her office with wrapping paper. EVERYTHING the mouse, the computer, every book & picture frame, all her walls, chairs, you get the point. :) Here is a picture!

I hope everyone is enjoying this Holiday Season!! I certainly am, and I am so excited for the snow and having a white Christmas. I can't believe Ava's progress over this last month! It's incredible, she's so cute. Vidal and I also took his nephews to the dinosaur museum, it was so much fun, they are such good boys and I hope they had fun! And thank you so so much to my mom for giving them that extra little "tour" - they really are enjoying the bones they got to take home.

She was so so so so tired. She passed out from all the excitement :)

Ava is now trying to sit independently, and she eats everything, but that's been going on for awhile now. Here are some recent pictures.

And I am sooooo EXCITED! The doctor confirmed at Ava's last appointment that she is going to keep those beautiful blue eyes of hers!! She's going to be a heart breaker!

Last thing I'm going to put on here is a video Vidal took of Ava playing in her "saucer" - she gets extremley frustrated with the toys because they don't seem to go in her mouth.

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! Love you all!! :)

Quick update, we had a GREAT time in Elko, it was so much fun. I absolutley love Vidal's family, they are so much fun. And thanks to Joey, Kathy, Tommie, and Jim for showing us around! And also helping us win some money....or loose some, whichever way you look at it! haha.
Thanksgiving was great, I hopefully will post pictures soon, we spent the first part of the day with my family down in Springville. It was so fun, and my nephews and niece are the cutest. Vidal and I sat and built things for them most the time, of course I didn't see Ava almost the whole time I was there (she must be a big deal :D). Afterwards we went to Vidal's cousin Daniel's house where we had a second Thanksgiving. Needless to say I was incredibly full! When we got to Elko the next day I didn't hardly eat anything because I was so stuffed!!
Ava is getting SO big. She encountered pretty much her first sickness. Got a pretty bad fever and was just miserable for about 3 days. I got no sleep as well, but I'm just glad she's better. This last week she has also discovered the joys of rolling! haha, she's so funny, she'll roll over and then get mad she's on her stomach. What a character.
Pictures and another update will come soon. Thanksgiving gave me the opportunity to remember all the things I take for granted. I'm so greatful to have a job in these times. And I'm greatful for such an amazing and supportive family. I also love my friends, I can't thank them enough for their loyalty. And of course, my little Ava. I can't believe what a blessing she has been in my life, and how much joy she brings to me. Again, thank you to everyone for everything you've done. I love you all.

I knew I was going to be bad in keeping this updated as soon as I set it up, but who knew it was going to happen this soon.

Really there hasn't been any new developments, Vidal and I are getting his brother's old couches, they are getting switched out as I write this. Hopefully with the new arrangement our apartment won't look as crowded, maybe I'll take some pictures after it's done to show it off! And hopefully when I go home today the apartment won't be a complete wreck!
Ava is getting bigger and bigger. She is starting to eat everything she can get her little hands on. She also seems to be wanting our food as well. The picture below was so funny to watch. EVerytime Vidal would raise the food to his mouth she'd follow it, she does it constantly with everything now. If I hold her she'll follow anything on my fork, so funny and so cute.

Other than that here is a few updated photos of our little one. First picture, she has a new toy, and she gets so passionate about it...I'm sure you'll enjoy her facial expressions while she is trying to attack whatever she can!

Nice face....

ATTACKKKKKKK!!!!

Then, just me and my angel...

Thanksgiving is next week, and Vidal and I will be spending the holiday here and then we are heading to Elko for the weekend! I'll have an update after that. Looking forward to some away time!

Yay!

Well, here goes! Everyone seems to have these blogs and I love reading them, so maybe it's about time I started one to keep everyone up to date, especially now that our wonderful little girl is with us. With the way she is growing I need something to help me keep everyone up to date!

Here is a couple semi-recent photos of Ava Ann. She's such a doll with so much personality. I can't believe she is already 4 months old! How time flies...

This picture makes Vidal and I laugh everytime we see it because it's her typical look. So funny.

Her expressions are priceless, she has one eyebrow that she raises when she hears something, she must get it from her dad because I sure can't do that. (yes, I'm a litle jealous)

This is another funny picture, this was taken in the car. She has discovered that she can see us if she turns her head to the side. So now, everytime we drive, we're getting stared at. What a cutie.

Last but not least, Halloween was this last week. Vidal, fortunatley, found her a costume. We were about to give up after looking in every Halloween store we passed and having no luck.

But, lo and behold, Our Little Pony :)

Last, but not least, I am going to add a slideshow, just random pictures. Some of Ava when she was "fresh", and also some from Vidal's brothers benefit show. Just a mixture :)
