What a fun week!

Here's my goofy girl.
...peek-a-boo, I see you!

This was right before Ava almost drowned, (kinda serious). The stinkin tube she's in flipped over, (note: how much air WAS NOT in the tube) and all I saw was feet up in the air. Me, being the Mommy, jumped up from the lounge chair and did my impersonation of a Superman dive into the pool. In a matter of 3-4 seconds, I had her flipped, and my friends husband was right there with me. He looked at me in amazement, and told me to be still (see if I go into labor; I landed on my belly) and then we started to laugh....never seen a pregnant lady so big, move so fast, to take a leaping dive of the side of the pool. I was a bit sore the next day, to say the least!


Silly girl.



Ava trying to pout...here she's pointing 'that finger' at me!





Grandpa Tony helping me out by pushing Ava on the swing! Ava found a new friend in Grandpa Tony. We got into the car, and she freaked out, "We have to wait for Grandpa! Turn the car off!" It was a great visit from Mom and Tony. I had a long arm's list of 'honey do's' that Tony did for me! Blesss his heart!! Ava loved having attention from her Mom's, Mom.





Beautiful, lovely day at the park in McCall. We loved having a visit from the grandparents. Such a nice treat!

Our day in Seattle...

Making faces at Mommy.
Seattle Center Merry-Go-Round.

I can't believe they let Craig on this ride...he barely fits!


Remember the 'dome' at Seattle Aquarium?




Making more faces at Mommy...enjoying a soak in the hot tub.
I hope you enjoy all the pictures I have posted...still haven't figured out how to do the slideshow. Our last visit to Seattle was so short with Craig, we went again a month later. That was absolutley the last time they let me fly. It was worth how tired I was when we returned.
Definitely worth it!



Our Seattle visit...

Ava and the Space Needle and Chocolate Fudge ice cream.
The ferris wheel. (Craig has butter stains on his shirt. See: picture below)


Eating at the Crab Pot on the waterfront. Craig and I each had a full crab. YUM!

Seattle Aquarium.




Horsing around on the grass below the Space Needle.
I cannot believe our good fortune. The one day we had to spend with Craig in Seattle, we were blessed with 75 degree weather. It was so much fun to see Craig, but it also made me miss him more! Only 23 more days to go until he comes home. Hooray!

Baby "A" Baby Shower

Still referring her to Baby A.
One of my gracious Hostessess!

Holy 206 pounds!


Always gotta show the spread.....




Lots of GREAT GIFTS!


What a wonderful baby shower. I had a relaxing stress-free (kid free) time with all my dearest girlfriends. I appreciate all the wonderful gifts and cards (and phone calls) from everyone I love. The count down is on: 7 weeks to go!
