Our little bug Ava has changed our life this past year, and we couldn't imagine life without her! In fact, we barely remember life before her! Everyone talks about the love that they feel for their own, or that you'll feel for your child, but you never truly understand it until you have the oppurtunity of having a child of your own. Seeing her for the 1st time, holding her, caring for her, and thinking about her constantly - it's amazing! J and I are so lucky to have Ava Marian. Her personality is so much, it's everything! Here are a few words that come to mind when I think of her; caring, cautious, silly, loving, sincere, funny, adventurous, inquisitive, busy, self starter, and she is definately into music...she LOVES listening to it and dancing with us. Her caring way towards others, makes us so excited to see her grow more each week, month, and coming years. We couldn't have asked for a better 1st child to be the big Sister to our next little one. She makes us so proud, and we know she will continue to grow confident, strong, and independent, and eventually conquer all that she sets her mind to in the future. We love you so much Ava Marian, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Love bug! Ok, this reminds me...here are some nicknames we've called Ava over this past Year :) (Of course, each has it's time and place depending on her mood!)

To celebrate the big 1, we decided to host a Western theme BBQ at our house for friends and family that Ava knows best. It was a gorgeous day, and with hotdogs on the menu, it was a very low-key, easy affair! YAY! Here are some wonderful pictures and great memories of the day. Thank you to everyone who helped make her day so special.
