4 years...and still going!

Nick and I celebrated our 4th anniversary today. Here is just a fun little collage of pictures...to show how far we've come!


Happy Anniversay Nick! I love you, and I can't wait to see where the next several years take us!

Fun with Tyler
Last week, we met Tyler and Blythe at Monkey Joes in Atlanta for a little bouncing fun! Ava and Tyler pretty much had the whole run of the place and couldn't make their minds up on what to bounce on next. They were pretty hard to get pictures of...but here are a few.

After bouncing for almost 2 hours, we headed over to Felini's for some yummy pizza. We love our play dates with Blythe and Tyler and can't wait for new baby Daniels to arrive in a few weeks to join in on all the fun!

Utah Ski Adventure
Every year for the past 10 years or more, Mimi and Papa Guy treat us to a Utah ski trip. Since Ava, has been born we've anticipated the day when she can finally strap on a pair of skis. This year was finally the year! It's so hard to believe that Ava is old enough to ski and old enough to have her own seat on the plane. She did great on both the 4 hour plane ride to and from Utah. She was so excited, she strapped herself right in and got settled for the long flight.

She was a little apprehesive on going to the Childcare Center, but she quickly warmed up when they told her that it was about to be snack time. While she played in the Alta Children's Center, we hit the slopes.







Utah, has been getting pounded with snow and the first day was no exception as we found ourselves in white out conditions and knee deep in powder.

After a long day of skking, we got Ava out of the childcare center, and let her play in the snow while we warmed up with the best hot chocolate.









You can tell how cold and windy it was at 13,000 feet from this picture below.












As the trip went on, the temp warmed up from 13 degrees to a very warm 33 degrees the last day.













The second day, Ava finally got to have her Pre-Ski lesson with miss Haley. Nick and I watched from a distance. She did so well and was very cooperative. For those of you who know Ava well...she doesn't do ANYTHING she doesn't want to do, so it was a relief that she even put on the skiis.







She looked so small in the ski's and squealed when Haley let her go down the bunny hill. We were so proud of her and can't wait for her to take a private lesson next year.





















We had a wonderful trip, and it was great to get away. A big special thank you to Mimi and Papa for a wonderful trip. We are so thankful for you both, and we love you!

Fun with the Meyers Family
On Superbowl Sunday, we went to Fayetteville to hang out with one of our favorite families...Todd, Brooke, Camille & Quinn. It never seems we are able to get together with them enough, but when we do all three girls have so much fun together! After lunch, we headed to their house for playtime with baby dolls, strollers, and fun at the park.


Ava and Camille, especially enjoyed cruising in Camille's new mini golf cart and playing at the park. Here are a few fun pictures from our day.
