Halloween

Since Ava is too little to really go out and do the whole Trick-or-treating thing we kept it pretty simple. Our friends, Paul and Ainsley, had a little Halloween party that we went too. It wasn't a dress up party but we couldn't resist dressing Ava up in her little cow costume. She was such a cute cow and loved her costume. Well that sums up Ava's first Halloween, I told you we kept it simple, we didn't even get any candy :(

Happy Cow!

Visitors

Right after Ava was born she had a lot of visitors and she loved all of the attention! My parents were the first set of visitors and they arrived about an hour after Ava was born. Thanks Mom and Dad for all of your help while you were here, Mom I couldn't of survived without you!

Grandma Hales

Papa Hales

We walked around the JW Marriott here in Palm Desert, such a spoiled girl already visiting the Marriott.

The second wave of visitors were Mike's parents they came down when Ava was a week old, Randy only was able to stay for 2 days so it was a quick trip, but he shared Sandra with us for an entire week! We loved spending time with Sandra and wish she could visit more. Sandra was such a huge help with Ava, cleaning, and great company, we couldn't of done it with out you!

Mike's brother Ryan who lives in San Diego was able to make a quick day trip down, him and Mike are the only ones in his family with girls!

My sister-in-law Ali and her darling little girl Lily also made a quick trip down to visit us while my brother was on a work trip in L.A.

Best friends

Lily loved the baby and always wanted to hold her I am excited for them to get older and play together

The last wave of visitors were my Grandma, Aunt Sheri, and Aunt Deanna. They were on a girls trip in San Diego and made a quick pit stop in the desert to meet Ava.

Ava makes great grandchild number 22!

That concludes all the visitors! Ava is definitely loved by her family and we feel so blessed to have her sweet spirit in our family!

So here are the long awaited pregnancy pictures. I can't believe we only have 2 weeks left it is getting so close and we are so excited to finally meet her!

She Has Arrived...

Mike and I were getting a little impatient to see what our little tyke may look like. Apparently this is what the computer thinks. We will just have to wait and see if there is any comparison in about 8 weeks!!

28 weeks

Here is a picture of the baby. She is doing great and has been VERY active lately. She loves to push on my bladder. The doctors say she has quite the temper because she always pokes or kicks at them when they do an ultrasound or try to hear the heart beat! We can't wait to meet her!
