So here it is 9pm and I am waiting to leave the house to head to the airport..... I am taking Ava (who is only 6months old) on a red eye flight to Tennessee!! Our plane leaves at 12:30am tomorrow and will arrive in Tennessee at 7:45am (6:45am MST). I am so nervous for some reason!! She usually does so good on the plane rides and I'm hoping she will just sleep on this one!!! She is working on that tooth still and that has made her kind of fussy! My whole thinking on this choice of flight was that I would have an easier time holding her if she was asleep because she is so active now and hates to be held when she is awake.... So please pray for us and our flight! Hopefully I won't be to grumpy when Robby picks us up in the morning... I haven't had a very long nap today so it will be over 24 hours of awake time!!
Wish us luck!!!!

4th of July Pictures!!! (early!)
Taylor was so happy to pose and smile!! She did so good!!
I love Taylor so much!! She did so good!! Usually she is very shy but she came out of her comfort zone and loved getting her pictures done this time!!
I like this picture of her holding onto her feet too!!
This was about as much of a smile as we were going to get!! for some reason she was TERRIFIED!! She would be so happy until we got around all the camera equipment then she would start to cry!!
This one is pretty good!! I love her eyes!!
Taylor looks adorable! Ava looks scared half to death!!Well this is all we got this time!! We weren't very successful on the happy ones of Ava so we will have to try again in the near future!!

Smart baby!!
The love of my life sent me these flowers 'just because'. He is so sweet!!!Now back to AVA baby!
Ava found this mirror and was playing with it. I was sitting behind her at the computer. A few minutes later I looked down at her and she was looking at me smiling at me!!
This smart little girl had figured out how to turn the mirror so she could see me!!! (and no she doesn't have teeth- its a glare on her tongue)
She sat and watched me for so long!! She thought that was the coolest thing!!
