Hello Again!

Hello again,
I am back.

I know it has been awhile and I have an
overwhelming amount of pictures I
would like to share.

Where ever to begin??

I will just share some random photos of Ava
that make me smile for now.

I had a wonderful birthday
& a fabulous beach trip.
Those photos should be next...

Things are a little stressful around here.
Grandpa just had a huge setback.

Hopefully we can get him back on track soon.
He is keeping a great attitude.
He says "when life deals you a funny hand
you just have to roll with it!"

On a brighter note,
Summer is in full swing.

To the tune of over 100 degrees today!!
Funny how we can go so quickly from cold & rain
to CRAZY HOT!

I can't tell you how much that makes me want to go
back to the beach!!

It is 84 degrees in our house right now.

I still have a ton of photo editing to do,
I think I started with around 600.
Wish me luck.

I will get caught up in no time, right??
Right??

I think it may be a sickness. I think I end up deleting about 89% of them.

It was great seeing you guys!

Grandpa sure seems to keep a good attitude, the rest of us need to work on that :)

I have to echo Rhi...600?!?!? You DO put me to shame, I had about 180 last time I downloaded and I was like...this is NUTS, delete, delete! Only about 5 people in our lives appreciate the shots that are almost exact to the one before...I swear I hold down the review button and the shots make a movie half the time...it IS a sickness!!! :)
PS, I love the outfit Ava is in...too cute shirt. Oh and when I can get Aubrey to keep clips and bows in I want some simple ones like the white and green you have in some of these recent pics. Right now her hair isn't long enough and I really like her without, but where do you get them for future reference? My friend makes me some that are adorable, but right now Aubrey still just pulls them out and eats em! :P Hope you guys are well :) xoxoxo

Those bows are from Target, we love them. I had trouble (still sort of do) keeping them in but I have tried to train her to at least bring it to me if she HAS to have it out.

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
