Ava Grace's Pics...

I finally got Ava Grace's 18 month pictures made (although she is almost 20 months!) Here are some of them. I was really happy with them! I thought they all turned out so cute!!

Fun at the park...

Today it is so beautiful outside! This morning we went to the park and we had a ton of fun! Ava Grace got to feed the ducks and was amazed. She kept yelling "HI! QUACK QUACK!" Then we played on the playground with Sofi and Parker. It was a fun morning!!

This afternoon I think we might go to the splash pad if it is open! Or we might get out her splash ball and play here at the house. Here are some pictures from this morning.



"Quack Quack!!" - Ava Grace SO EXCITED to see the ducks!





The Ducks!

Pray for Mimi...

Please pray for my Mom. Yesterday morning she was getting out of the shower and fell. She broke her ankle, cracked her tibia and the bone above her knee. She also has a torn ACL and other ligaments are torn in her knee. She is in the hospital right now and will maybe go home tomorrow. She is in a lot of pain so please pray for her. The orthapedic doc came by this afternoon and said that they will not have to do surgery so that is definitely good news.

Thank you Plato's Closet!

They didn't take all of my clothes. Actually I don't think they even took a third of them but I was excited because I got $145 for what they did take! YAY!

That money is headed to the "Shopping for ME" fund! Sounds a little selfish... I know. If you were dealing with these frustrations when getting ready everyday then you would understand completely!!

So excited!! Now I need to sell the rest of it...

Plato's Closet here I come!!

I just finished getting together my clothes to take tomorrow. My closet is still a little cluttered and there is more work to do but this is the 1st step!

I have 81 articles of clothing to take! Yea! You heard me - 81!!

I am sure they won't take all of them - just because it is so much. But whatever they will take will be wonderful!!

I have to add that it was EXTREMELY depressing and I am really not sure if I will be able to eat for the next week or so...

I will update you tomo when we get home.

Night Night

Out with the OLD, In with the NEW...

So... I think I have come to realize that my closet is overflowing with LOTS of clothes I do not and can not wear. I need to declutter my house and my closet is the first place I am going to start. So, where should I take these clothes?

Unfortunately I don't think I can just "give" them away because I am going to have to buy some new clothes. So, I was trying to find a really good consignment place to take them to. I need ideas... Have you ever tried Plato's Closet? I have never been there but just heard about it. Any other consignment places in Tuscaloosa that I could try?

Please help me find somewhere... I am going to keep a few of my favorite things. But just a few for motivation! The way I look at it is if I get back down to a 0 or 2 again I am going shopping to CELEBRATE! So OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW!!!

I am kinda excited!

We are a lot better today...

Well, my little baby has had a rough week. She got tubes on Tuesday. She did GREAT with them and slept the whole night thru for the 1st time in two and a half weeks. She went to Daycare on Wednesday and had a wonderful day! Then Wednesday night she woke up all night long and woke up Thurday with a 101.6 fever. So... we called the ENT and they said to just keep giving her the antibiotic she was already taking and to give her Mucinex. Thursday night she woke up about every 10-15 minutes screaming. Friday morning her temp was 101 and she had a HORRIBLE rattling cough. She was coughing so hard she threw up all over me. My poor baby was really sick so we headed to the Pediatrician. So, it turns out that she has Bronchitis. We are thinking that since she got her tubes on Tuesday that this will be the last round of antibiotics she will have for a while. HOPEFULLY! She slept a little better last night and has been playing all day today. She seems to be in a great mood.

The doctor said to not take her out for a few days so this afternoon we are just going to bring the toys inside! We are going to blow up her Sesame Street ball pit in the living room and just play inside! What is Daddy going to think when he walks in the door?!?

And, Daddy is getting up Tilapia and New Potatoes to cook for dinner! YUMMY!

HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!
