Lots more Ava pics

Hope yall don't get sick of seeing Ava. Here is just a quick slide show of recent pictures of my baby girl.

Mike's Birthday Weekend!!!

This year we are very lucky. Mike's birthday happen to fall in time perfect for his mom and dad to be here. Oh and I am not away on a training work trip. So Happy 31st Birthday Mike!!!

This weekend we ended up having a few friends of Mike and his family over to help celebrate him getting a year older. At least I kept my promise and we did have kids before he turned 35. Nothing is better than hamburgers, brots and homemade cake (Thanks Lynn).


Out door fun!


Look guys Ava is not crying when Amber is holding her!

Even Bella and Beau enjoyed the BBQ

Ava meets Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

Saturday my Aunt Martha and Glenda drove my grand parents down from Tulsa to meet Miss Ava for the first time. It was neat having four generations of women in the same house. Watch out Mike!

First Bath

We have been home just a few days now and Ava needed a bath. Mike and I had heard that most babies didn't like sponge baths since it made them cold. This was not the case with Ava. She is so mellow, like Mike, she just went with the flow and waited to be clean and bundled up again.


Think warm thoughts.


Warm and Dry and making a face Gran ma Carla makes.

It's a GIRL!!!!

Okay so after a day or more of waiting and laboring in the hospital Ava Lynn Shelby came into this world at 8:15 am Saturday September 1st via C-section. Not my ideal way to meet my daughter, but it still was wonderful. I will never forget how Mike and I cried when Dr. Herr announced we had a little girl. (for all of those who forgot, Mike and I did not know what we were having). Thank goodness I didn't paint the room blue like I wanted to.


Labor is not fun!


Off to meet my baby.
