My Big Helper

Down to the last week! This weekend Ava really came into her own with being interested in taking care of her baby... feeding.. burping... and rocking her baby. She also was a wonderful helper for the bars I made for church. She loves the last part! Licking the spoon and bowl!

Birthday Party

For Ava's Birthday Party we did more than we usually do since it was her Golden Birthday. We rented a room at Thumper Pond and invited some friends and family to come join us. Ava had such a blast at the water park... no pics of that... just video wich i will see if I can get that up :-) She was to exhausted by the end of the night!

Ava's 4th B-day!

Time to update :-) Ava had a great day on her B-day. Dad stayed home with her. She got to stay in her Pj's all day and she chose what we had for dinner. Mac & Cheese with hot dogs :-) I can't believe my baby is 4!

Time for guesses...

A month to go! Yipee.... so we know it's a Girl but I thought I would be fun to have you guys guess when you think I will have her and how much she will weigh. Any guesses on a name would be fun too.... it starts with a letter in the first part of the alphabet :-)
Stats on Ava. She was born on her due date. Weighing 7.25 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long.

The Name is.....

You knew I wouldn't say it :-) But a hint for those of you that are trying to figure it out.... the 2 names we a thinking about are not in the top 100 names for 2010......or for many, many years previous :-) I promise in 2 months you will all know the name

Praising God

Grandma made it through surgery! My mom and her sisters are just waiting for her to wake up right now :-) They were unable to do everything they were wanting...my mom said she will explain why later. But the docs and nurses are very confident that she will have alot of relief from what they were able to accomplish. She will be in ICU for a couple of days... and then depending on how she is doing will most likely go to the Broen home... till she recovers. To those of you praying for her and our family. THANK YOU so much! You have no idea how grateful our family is to you.

Prayer Request

My mom and Grandma left for the cities today. My Grandma is having a very serious back surgery on Tuesday. It will take atleast 6 hours... if not more. At her age the worry is being put under for that long of a time. Every since her 1st back surgery she has been in constant pain... and I just pray that she will make it through this surgery and recover to have no more pain at all. She is one of the strongest people I know and I love her so much. And I am so scared of losing her. I keep thinking back to when my Grandpa died and I was pregnant with Ava. I want this baby girl to know her Great Grandma so badly. And with all these extra horomones I have right now... I just lose it on a whim. So if any of you reading this can say a little prayer for her Tuesday. I would be so grateful... and for my family. I work that day... wich is prob. a good thing to keep me busy. But I will post once I hear anything.
