There has been so much going on. Baby Bren is here! She is so cute! I love when she is awake and talks and smiles...its' so sweet! I think being an aunt is great! I love to spoil the kids! Jace already knows when he is at Aunt Lo's house he can get whatever he wants! But that is what aunts are for RIGHT?!?!?
School has started back. I have to say this is the best year so far! My kids are WONDERFUL!!! I have already grown attached to them! I have 24 right now so we are in the process of getting a new teacher. I will be sad to see some of them go but can only imagine how much better things will be when I have fewer kids!
Last weekend we were in Dallas and we celebrated Ava's birthday. We have been planning the party for a while. She told us she wanted a Dora party, so while she was here in Conroe one weekend we went to Party City and picked out all her birthday things.
My family was so wonderful and made a day trip to Dallas for the party. Ava was so excited to have them there!
Here are some pictures..but sorry they were loaded backwards! OH WELL! :)
The princess opening gifts
My mom bought here this Dora birthday girl stuff. She was so excited. She loves anything princess and dress up!
We had to take time for a family picture.
Ava with her Dora Cake.
The kids getting candy from the pinata. Yes I had to have a pinata at the party!
Jace was ready to hit the pinata. Leslie and the kids came to my house one day last week and Jace helped me fill the pinata. I was telling him what it was and that we hit it with the stick. He wanted to do it right then. We tried to tell him we had to wait until Saturday for Ava's party. But that was not good enough. He wanted the party now! He kept telling Leslie "party mommy, party" in a REALLY whiny voice! It was cute..(well Leslie didn't think so!)
The birthday girl was the first to hit. We let all the kids it and then we had to get Ava's oldest cousin Tyler to break it open. That was one tough pinata!
Ava loved the Dora Pinata. We were worried she wouldn't let anyone hit it but she didn't mind at all!
We had a bounce house. Ava has NEVER jumped in one before so we were surprised when she did not want to get out of it!This is Tyler, Hayden and Ava having fun!
Everyone enjoying the party.
The WONDERFUL cake Courtney made! She is AMAZING!!!
THANK YOU so much Jaye and Terri for letting us have the party at your house and THANK YOU so much for everyone coming out. I was so fun and it was great to see all our Dallas friends that we do not get to see too often!
