Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Happy 10th Birthday Ava!

Gracie's birthday is just around the corner so I decided to get first things first. Ava celebrated her 10th birthday on October 15th. I thought I'd share a handful of pictures of her before I get to her birthday celebration. 

Edible cheeks. YUM!

She LOVED her binky and didn't give it up til her 4th birthday. Yikes!


Possibly choking Zuka?! :)


First day of preschool!

Halloween. My baby is shining!

Discovery Museum


Ava and several of her friends,  including Gracie, went swimming at the Orem Rec and then came back for cake, root beer floats, and present opening. I can't believe my baby is 10! 
Some things to know about Ava:
1. She is such a funny girl. She has a great personality. Some of the stuff she comes up with is so random and funny! 
2. She loves Harry Potter and super hero movies like Avengers etc.
3. She has a fun hip hop style when she dances. No ballerina moves for her.
4. She has a compassionate heart.
5. She is a daddy's girl!
6. She is very strong and always gets compliments on her firm handshake at church.
7. She can be violent when cornered....ha ha...Ava you know it's true.
8. Her favorite colors are turquoise, yellow, coral, gray, mint.
9. Her favorite food is "sunshine potatoes" aka funeral potatoes.
10. She wants to learn how to play the electric guitar.
 I love my little girl and I'm so grateful the Lord gave her to us!


This is a fun idea I found off Pinterest and Ava was sweet enough to give it a go.

Happy Birthday Ava! I love the picture of the girls in the Minnie Mouse outfits, Ava's violent haha, and how cool that she made her own birthday cake-sounds like something I would have done.
