Ava's party

Only my child would stop playing at a birthday party and find a place to wash her hands. Goofy girl!

She hates having dirty hands.

A dirty face, however, is totally fine.

I can't believe Ava is 3. I sobbed when I found out my sister-in-law was pregnant. I wanted a baby so badly and we had been trying and trying. I was still in the clomid phase and was naive enough to think it would work. I remember thinking, "well, at least by the time that baby gets here I will be pregnant."

I was not.

But I could not have been more excited to welcome my precious niece into the world the day she was born. There was no sadness for me. Thank goodness.

And now she is 3 and I have 3 kids of my own!

Sweet cousins!

Big boys in their party outfits. I absolutely die over these boys, and I realize I say this often...but it is true!

The party was fun! It is way too hot here. David and I traded off watching Paige outside and sitting inside with the boys. I'm over it! I'm ready for some tailgate weather! Bring on football season!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
