Time flies by!

Where has the time gone. I can't believe that Ava is already 3 1/2 weeks old, and Dallas had to go back to work on Monday. Also, on August 10th Dallas and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. It is really hard to believe that it has been 6 years. Six great and amazing years. I can't imagine them being any better. We have done and accomplished many thing in the last 6 years. We have also done a few crazy and not so smart things but we won't talk about them.

The last 6 years have been great. We have two amazing children and life is great.



Life has been flying by since we had Max. I can't believe that he is almost 3 years old. Now that we have Ava time seems to be going by even faster. I had my mom here for the first week after we got home from the hospital and it was great. We did not want her to go home and Max still asks when Me Maw is going to come and stay with us again. We would have kept her here forever if it was possible. Dallas was home for the next two weeks and I thought that we would be able to get some stuff done and relax the rest of the time. We we got a couple things done around the house and yard, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. We did some yard work and that alone took a day and then some. Sometimes I wonder what we were thinking when we wanted such a yard, but now we just deal with it and sometimes rope others into coming up and helping when the weeds get out of control. We did a lot of relaxing and had some fun also. We went swimming a few times, and Max had a great time and asks when we are going again. I think that he would live in the water if we would let him. We went to Thanksgiving Point and visited the Dinosaur Museum and the Barnyard. It was great fun. Max had a great time and wants to go back.
Now Dallas has been back to work for almost a week and we all miss him at home. Everyone said that within a week we would be sick of each other and ready for him to go back to work. Nope, I wish he could stay home all the time. It is great just spending time together and enjoying each other. It was great for all of us, but we have to go back to reality and go on with life.

On Sunday, August 10th we went to Fayette and visited with my family, it was great. Max had an awsome time playing with Mee Maw, grandpa and grandma Mellor. He loves to go and play, ride the 4-wheeler and just hanging out. It is always great to have Mee Maw kiss and mug on the kids. We went over and visited my best friend Stephanie and her kids. Max and Riley went swimming and just had a great time running around and playing. They always have a great time when they get together and play. It is always great to visit and get caught up on all the gossip going around the great Gunnison Valley. Now I just hope that it is not too long before we get back down to visit and hang out.

Thurday, August 14th my cousin Kari got married. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful bride. We went to the luncheon and later that night the reception. It was great to see family we don't get to see all that often and catch up on what is going on in their lives. It was an all around great day.

I took Ava to the doctor on Monday, August 18th and she is growing like crazy. She weighs 7 lbs 12 oz, 20 1/2 inches long and her head is 36 cm. She is growing and changing every day. I can't believe how fast time is going by and how much she has grown and changed already. She has been a great addition to our family. We all love her and the joy that she has brough to our lives in just the few short weeks that we have had her.
