Ava and Carter with their best buds!




These are the neighbor kids that Ava and Carter play with almost every day. Brenna is 9, Alyssa is 6 and Ethan is 3. Their house is for sale, and we are secretly hoping that they don't sell it. I know, we're evil. but our kids will be so lost without them!

Ava lost her 1st tooth!!!



Ava's tooth has been loose since May 18, and it was finally at the point where it was bothering her. Daddy somehow convinced her to let him pull it out, so mommy got out the video camera and got ready to get all the action on tape. Daddy, who is used to blood, surgery's, etc..., almost chickened out, which really surprised me. We finally all counted to 3, and her tooth was out and landed on the ground. She was very brave and there was hardly any blood! While still filming her reaction, we caught Carter counting to 3 with a piece of floss around his tooth, and then witnessed him yanking on it, trying to get it out. He wants to be "BIG" like Ava, so he's convinced that he has loose teeth and his need to come out too! What a funny boy!!!

BABY SHOWER





The baby shower that Megan threw for the babies was amazing. She did such a good job and it was a lot of fun! Ava and Kyler got to come, which made them feel very grown up. We had great food with an italian theme- there were even italian soda's, my favorite! We got so many nice gifts, including matching high chairs, matching bouncy seats, a dresser, a bumbo, bottles, bibs, toys, frames, binkies, clothes and much more. I was shocked at how many great things we got for these little guys, it was so nice of everyone to do that for us! The cakes that read "double trouble" were adorable... and I think I probably ate about 5 pieces total since Megan sent me home with the left over cake..... never do that to a pregnant girl, the self control just isn't as strong as usual! I probably gained 5 pounds that week, but who's counting!

I finally have Ava's big belly beat!!! It was pretty close for a while, but she couldn't keep up! That belly is pretty impressive though! What a big difference in my belly in 8 weeks- it's growing so fast!
