happy new year to everyone in bloggity blog land! looking forward to 2010, can't wait to see what the future holds!
{can't believe it met bo in 2000...it's been ten years and look how much things have changed!}
well, it's snowing again in texas :) i really love it as long as it's not raining/sleeting at the same time! ava is starting to like it, too! after daddy showed her how to make snowballs, she is loving it! she likes throwing them at roxie and max...little stinker! {they don't mind though!}
where did her feet go, you ask? well, she was practicing her jumping skills in the snow and this was post jump...and her saying "i did it!" 
ava with her princesses...from nonna and kristie! she loves disney princesses!
my girl by the tree. {you can tell she is thrilled about mommy having the camera out again...}
where is hollis, you ask? probobly sleeping or being held by me...so no pics of him lately! i'll get some, though, so you can see how big he's gotten! excited to have some more family time the next few days! may be running up to lake murray to spend time with some friends, too! we shall see.....
well, my man turned 31 today! can't believe i'm married to such an old man! ha! we didn't do anything special...in fact, we barely even saw each other. he worked, and it's gonna be a late night, so we'll have to celebrate sometime this week. he has four days off because the new years holiday follows his off days! yay! we are getting spoiled with all this daddy time! {we had him four days in a row last week with christmas, too!} anyway, i hope you had a wonderful birthday...i knew the second i saw you you were someone i wanted to know. little did i know how much you would change my life. punk boy, you are one of the best things that has ever happened to me and i am so happy to be walking through this life by your side. 
xoxo,
so, ava threw a fit every time we tried to take her to see santa...she does not like the man in the red suit one little bit! so i borrowed a costume from a friend and tried to get some cute pics of the kids together with bo dressed up as santa! and even knowing that it was her daddy in all that red and white, it still took bribery and a bit of tricking to get her to sit with him...or she sure knows how to work us {so now we know she's afraid of two things....santa and bo's welding helmet!}
i think this one made it worth it! {bo looks positively thrilled, right?! such a good daddy!}
xoxo,
i can't even explain how lucky i feel to have these two little pumpkins in my life...we are so lucky to have the family we were given. ava spent most of the day today entertaining hollis...every time he would whine for some attention, there she was getting him his blanket, laying with him, holding his hand...and let me tell you, he absolutly loves it!
i love how he smiles at her!
she knows he likes his musical star {just like she did when she was a baby!}
can't wait to take her to the princess and the frog tomorrow! i know she's gonna love it and i'm super excited to see it, too! it's gonna be a fun evening!

and this is how i found her...saying "aba pretty"....hmmmmmm
the other night ava was holding hollis and she actually wanted me to take their picture! shock! of course, when i got the camera out, she didn't want to look at it...sooooo, no cute ones of the kiddos together. i did get her holding hollis' hand. she always loves holding his hand and held it the whole time she held him. isn't she the sweetest big sister?! she adores him so much!
our snow picture...the only one i got & i was lucky to get one. she stepped one foot out in the snow and came back on the porch to blow bubbles...crazy girl?!? so that was that....
just a few sweet moments.
check out my girl on the jump, jump at hulen mall! {thanks poppy for the pictures!} we were christmas shopping with poppy and thought it might be fun for her {poppy's idea...such a good poppy!}....she loved it and i can't wait to take her again....possibly as bribery to sit with santa....hmmmmmmm...
JUMP, JUMP

We spent the day visiting, playing, parkin' it, oh yeah...and eating!
