Little Peanut....

Ava and I had our finally fitting for the wedding we are in the Saturday. Of course both still needed to be altered! I don't think mine is every going to be right but that's okay, its only one day right?
Ava's dress is actually very cute. There is a HUGE bow in the back though that is weighing the dress down. She had to get pinned and is having it taking in tonight! I am hoping that it is good tomorrow, seeing that the wedding is Saturday! The seamstress told us she used a 12 month pattern to make Ava's dress. She is my little Peanut! I am hoping it still fits in December and it can be used for one of her Sunday dresses! I would love for her to have a fancy dress for each Sunday in December up to Christmas!
I will post some pictures of her in the dress tomorrow! Hopefully it will fit good!

Browns Berry Patch ( Post 1)

I took so many pictures this past weekend at Browns.. this is the first batch that i got uploaded.. I will attempt to do the rest later! I will explain what she is doing in the pictures!

1.) One and two are in a little play house that they had there. Ava loved walking around and sitting at the table. She is pondering her day so far!
2.) Fun on the tractor with Daddy
3.) Ava's first HayRide
4.) Water table fun
5) Posing with the Bear Family Scarecrows
6.) In the goat sign
7.) Water races with Daddy
8-12.) These were all at the playground, Ava loved the big slide! Kory had to climb this huge rope wall with Ava and Slide down!

The rest to come are great as well!!! We had such a fun day! We are looking forward to making this a tradition for our family each year!

Friday Night...

I am sitting here bored and not really wanting to go to bed quiet yet... I am excited for our family trip to Brown's Berry Patch tomorrow! I love fall, everything about the season is fun for me! Especially this year knowing that Nora will be joining our family.
On Monday I will be 34 weeks. It truly is amazing how fast this pregnancy went by. Nora is a very active baby lately.. She loves to kick me high in my ribs and use her arms low in my pelvis. It is almost like she is trying to claw her way out!!
I am debating posting belly pictures! Everyone is asking for them.. Maybe if i get some nice maternity pictures taken I will!
I am so excited to meet Nora soon!

Thirteen Months!

13 months! New Hat from Aleah

Very excited about new hat!

Family Picture from James's Wedding

It is always said that the second year goes even faster than the first. I can say I already agree with that.. Our baby is 13 months today. It does not seem real! Ava is so full of life and energy! She makes me so tired each and every day! Ava loves to eat, she will eat everything and anything that is given to her! My family thinks it is funny to try and give her new things to try. The lastest was a red pepper. She thought nothing of it and than had two more! Ava never ceases to amaze me!


She is in a full walk now, very little crawling now! She loves to venture up the stairs at Grandmas house. She is so fast too... she can be at the top of the stairs before anyone even knows where she is!


Kory and I love Ava more and more each day! She is a little ball of fun and each day is a new surprise !

Too Funny

Abby - 1964
If you are bored and want a good laugh on your own behalf check out www.yearbookyourself.com . It is well worth it! I tried to do Kory but did not have a good picture to use.. It is quite funny though to look back at all the past years!

Just Me and my Dolly!

Ava and her favorite Dolly had matching dresses! So of course I had to take some pictures!! She really is starting to love her doll and gives her kisses all the time!!

22 Years

Today is my 22 Birthday!!!
It seems like not long ago I was celebrating 21! Time really does go by so fast. At 22 I am a wife, and a mother! I love every minute of it!! I am getting so excited for Nora to join the clan.
A good friend of mine told me the other day that her mom said " Abby acts older than 22" , I hear this so often!
Most people my age think I am crazy, why at 22 would I want two kids a husband and so much responsiblity ?
Its simple .... What others call Crazy to me is Wonderfu! I would not change my life for a minute!

Her Love

Ava will always have a special place in her heart that only Aunt Jenna will be able to fill! Ava simply adores her, and we like nothing less than to spend every moment of every day with her! I must admit though that Jenna is great with her and truely cares about her. Jenna will sit all day and just play with Ava, whereas others would get bored after a few minutes! I think they are pretty cute together too!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Who is the prettiest girl of All?

AVA GRACE!!!!

Oh Daddy

Kory never ceases to amaze us with his crazy personality. Oh what a lucky lady I am and the girls are! At least there is always a laugh near by!

I Love Not Sleeping!

I guess I must have forgotten with Ava that the farther and farther along I get in my pregnancy the less and less I sleep. I was up at four thirty this morning with some numbness in my hand and face that had me very worried so of course I could not fall back asleep. I go to the doctor tomorrow for my thirty week apt, but I think I am still going to call the doctor this morning when they open to make sure everything is okay. Nine weeks and counting to go!!! I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore!! 18 out of 24 months is far too much!!! Nora is kicking a lot more often now, some that make me stop and catch my breath ! I think she is going to be a soccer player ! Ava kicked often but for some reason I don't remember the kicks being quite as hard as little Miss Nora's . I think she wants to come out! Not to much longer!!
