Upper Division.... Here We Come!

We just got a letter saying that Nathan was accepted into upper division classes for the fall!!!!! So, he is officially on his way to becoming an accountant!! He has worked so hard, and I'm so proud of him! Sometimes school seems to drag on forever, but we're one step closer! We were kind of scared that we would have to be pushed back another semester, but this is a true testimony builer... Heavenly Father really does look out for you. He knows your desires, and hears your prayers. I am so grateful to have such a hard working husband. I don't think he will ever know just how much I appreciate him. He works so hard so that I can stay home with Ava, and he is going to school so that someday we can have a home and provide for our family. I have been so blessed.

Swimming

We took Ava swimming for the first time. It was an adventure, to say the least. Our court has a little swimming pool, so we went and got it out of our laundry room. We didn't have any hose hook-up's near by, so we had to hook it to our washer and put the hose through our window and fill the pool up. At first we just did cold water, and we put Ava in and she screamed!! So our smart little minds thought that we should add some hot water so she could actually enjoy her first swimming experience. After we got the water just the right temperature, she loved it!! She stayed and splashed in the pool for about an hour! Our neighbor, Mackenzie, came down and even got in the pool!! It was so much fun! On the other side of things... I have started working at the credit union again. I have been in training the past two weeks, and will officially start a week from today. I will be working Tuesdays and Saturdays during the summer, and when school starts, I will just be working on Saturdays... I'm so excited to go back to school.... I'm going into cosmetology, which is what I've always wanted to do... so if any of you out there know of anyone who would like to babysit Ava... just let me know!! Yes, I'm even willing to pay the babysitter... I don't expect you to do it for free...:)

Petting Zoo Mania

Today was a beautiful day, so my friend and I decided to go to Gardner Village and visit the petting zoo. It's only $2 so, what the heck. We had so much fun! Even though Ava really didn't know what was going on, she loved being outside in the sun. There were goats who wandered around and who loved to nibble on our strollers. They came up and sniffed my diaper bag as well as Ava's feet. There were ducks, pigs, chickens, a llama, and a HUGE pig. The petting zoo was just the right size. Not too big and not too small. It was also really clean, which I liked. It was so much fun... I know I'll be visiting again!

Say Cheese!

Ava is almost 8 months old.... and she loves having her pictures taken. When you put a camera up and tell her to say "Cheese!" she gets the goofiest grin on her face and gets really excited. Being her parent, I think it's the cutest thing ever. She has so much personality it's ridiculous. Lately, she throws little tantrums when you aren't paying enough attention to her.... woops.... gotta go. The little drama queen is awaking from her slumber....
