Adam is 30!!!

I am sure he loves that I am telling everyone that :) Honestly I don't think it bothers him as much as it bothers me. I know that in a short while I will be following suit. :(

I just remember when I was a teenager thinking 30 was so old. SERIOUSLY? I still feel like I am 18 most days. So Friday night I gave Adam a birthday party. It was no surprise. We had it at the house and had pizza and cake/ice cream. I think I had 20 adults in my house. Good thing it was nice and the kids were able to play outside. Andy, Rachel and Gabe came in for it and they stayed the night.

Saturday I had a baby shower to attend. After I got home from that we all went out to eat for lunch. We also went to the park and fed the ducks. Ava loves to do that....although this time she just sat down and ate the bread instead of sharing with the ducks. The guys wanted to go back to the house and watch football. I think I am the only person on the planet that could care LESS about football! Seriously it makes me want to sleep! So we hung out and then went to the Docks for dinner. YUMMY! It was nice and we sat outside.

Sunday I had a family reunion on my moms side. Adam had to work. Me and Ava went to church that night.

I had to do something I haven't done in probably 18 months....WORK on a Monday! And just to add to it, it was rainy and dark :( I switched my days this week cause we are going to Gatlinburg Thursday. I better get back in the swing of it because I will be coming back to work full time. Yesterday after work we went to Huntsville and ate dinner at Chilis. They donated all their profits to St. Judes Childrens Hosptial. I had some errands to run while I was there too.

Today Ava has developed a cold, therefore we had a rough night :( I sure hope she gets better before this trip. I want her to enjoy it and have a good time.

Destin 2010

Adam is going to kill me for putting this picture on here. He hates it. sssshhhhh.

Navarre...it still had oil problems.

Our Condo! Loved it.

Last week was CRAZY to say the least. I was packing for our trip, working more hours because mom was in Canada on a trip, and then trying to fit a million chores into one day. It was worth it though! We started our weekend by taking Ava to the fair Friday night. She LOVED it. I think she liked the lights and kids more than the rides! Ok, so Saturday we went to ATL and met up with Adams family. We ate at my FAVORITE Mexican place...Pappasitos!!!! Then we went to Phipps plaza and shopped some. OH girls that place is Designer Heaven!!! We stayed that night and then left out Sunday for Destin. Me and Adam took a late 5 Year Anniversary trip. Adam's parents kept Ava! We try to do this every year because they don't get to spend that much quality time with Ava since we live 3 hours away. She done so good!!! She didn't cry for us or anything!! I on the other hand had a harder time with it this year. It was hard being away from her, but it was nice having some relaxing time too! I think every kid we saw at the beach reminded us of Ava. :)

So to sum it up we ate a lot of good seafood, shopped at good outlets, laid around, and soaked up the sun and waves. It was awesome! We came home Thursday....and Ava has been connected to my hip ever since. I can't say I am not enjoying that though!

Adam's great Uncle died so we went to the visitation last night, and Adam went to the funeral today. I wanted to go, but the thought of Ava in a quiet place makes me break out in hives.

Labor Day Weekend Recap

We had a full weekend. Friday I cleaned most of the day and Adam worked outside in the yard. Ava had a birthday party to attend that night so we went to that for a little bit then hurried back home. Nana and Paw paw Estes were on their way to our house. They stayed the night with us. Saturday we all woke up to a glorious cooler morning. I love those type of mornings!!! We all went to breakfast and then to yard sales. Needless to say Ava ended up with more toys to adorn my living room floor. We hung out all day then Andy, Rachel and Gabriel (Adams brothers family) came to visit too. The kids had fun playing out in the awesome weather. Nana pulled them around the block in Ava's wagon. We enjoyed a nice Family dinner that night. Sunday we took them to First Sunday on the Square and Art in the Park. Wow, it had been so long since I had been to that. It was fun. The weather was so nice! Ava got her face painted and actually sat still so the girl could finish it. Then all our company left and we went to church.

Yesterday Adam had to work so I hung out with Mom and Dad. We made a quick trip down to my grandparents house. They love seeing Ava!!! So oddly enough we didn't have a cook out. That seems weird because I always associate Memorial Day and Labor Day with grills. :) It was nice though.....no cooking or cleaning! LOL

So now the weekend is over and we have such a busy week ahead. Today I have many errands to run and things to do around the house. Wednesday I have a doctors appt. I am working Thursday and Friday of this week. We are taking Ava to the fair one night. Also I have to start packing because we are taking a trip Saturday. :) YEAH!!!!!!!

I'm Loosing IT

Yesterday I was bored so I thought I would drive to Publix and play around with the coupon thing. First of all I want to know how these moms with kids in tow actually accomplish anything?? I can't keep Ava occupied long enough to leave my coupons alone, not grab something out of the buggy, or try to pull stuff off shelves. I am like forget it!!! I can't concentrate....much less whip out a calculator and see if I am even getting a bargain. It passed the day by though. Well we came home and then had a birthday party to go to. So afterwards I am getting into the SUV and catch a glimpse of something in the back.... OH LORD!!! I forgot to take in those groceries I got at Publix. So much for savings...I had to throw away frozen pizzas and yogurt. WHERE IS MY MIND????? I never forget groceries in the back. I guess I was distracted with getting Ava out and the fact I had drove a ways away.

This past weekend was good. Adam was off and He spent some time with Ava. Then we enjoyed a nice quiet dinner Saturday night.... Thanks to mom keeping Ava. We went to a restaurant locally that I love....its on the water and just an awesome view. We sat outside and had such a good dinner. It actually felt like Fall was just around the corner...my favorite time of the year!!
