So Proud....

I need to brag about the most important person in my life.  Andy has lost over 40 pounds in this last year, and still losing.  I am so proud of him, and so proud that he hasn't given up.  We have been through a lot of stressful and amazing changes, and he still continues to stick with working out and eating well.  It just proves that with support, and dedication it can be done.  He is the most supportive husband, and the best father in the world.  It is a team effort raising these beautiful girls we have, and they love their daddy.  Thank you Andy for being you, and for always being here for us.  You are our ROCK!!!  

First Bath...

Neely's 1st bath was so fun, because Ava was all about helping out.  Ava was so sweet and being so gentle with Neely.  Neely wasn't for sure what to think at first, but now she really likes her bath times.   So here are a couple of pictures of Neely's first bath...

Adjusting....

Well, going from one child to two is a huge adjustment!!  I feel guilty sometimes because I feel like I'm not spending enough time with Ava.  She has been so sweet to Neely, and gives her kisses all the time.  Ava has just turned into this amazing, and very independent little girl.  She talks in full sentences, and loves to read.  Neely is growing really fast too.  She is 7 weeks old, and still so little.  I love to snuggle with her.  God has given me the most precious two little girls in the world.  And we are making the adjustment as best as we can.  I feel like Andy and I do a good job of sharing time with both girls.  I know that Ava is so ready for Neely to be able to play.  They will be so cute together!!  Thank you God for a wonderful family!!! 

Introducing.... NEELY ADELE KIGHT

Well, we would like to welcome Miss Neely Adele Kight into this world.  She was born August 20th @ 1:06 p.m.  She was 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 inches long.  Neely is a great baby and Ava is a very proud BIG SISTER!!!  I am so blessed with a wonderful family, and Andy has now entered the girly world.  He can fix hair and he is awesome at the diaper changes.  I don't know what I would do without him.  I am so happy to have two beautiful little girls.  I love them so much!!  Here are some pictures of Neely when she was brand new!!

Going Home....

Neely was just a few days old and had already changed so much!!

Maternity Pictures...

I'm really late on posting these pictures, but I still wanted to post them.  Once again, my sister-in-law Ashley took these amazing pictures.  www.ashleyhopper.com    Thank you Ashley for such wonderful pictures!!  

Getting Caught Up....

Okay, so I'm going to overload you with pictures!!  I have been so far behind on posting blogs so I thought that I would get caught up in one post.  I bought a new camera a few months ago, and I'm still learning how to use it.  Ava was being funny one day and I was practicing on her.

This was her cute Mother's Day shirt.  I had a wonderful Mother's day and I have the best family ever. 

Ava is now in a Big Girl bed, and I must say she is doing great!!  We keep adding cute stuff to the room.  I'm so glad that she likes to sleep in it!!

She goes to gymnastics once a week, and WOW does she LOVE it!!  That is all she talks about starting on Monday.  These little 2 year olds are so adorable, and what a great teacher to have so much patience with them.  

Swimming is her next love of the summer!!  She has no fear of the water, and will jump right in.  Swimming lessons will be on the list next year so she can get rid of those floaties.

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy ever!!  We had a very nice and relaxing father's day.  Watched golf, took a nap, and cooked a yummy lunch!!  Ava loves her daddy so much....

Family Time....

My family got to come see us this weekend, and we had such a good time.  Mom and dad took the kiddos to the zoo, and they had a blast.  Aunt Erica also joined in on the fun too.  Ava doesn't get to see her cousins that much so she was so excited when they came in on Thursday!!  I'm so thankful that mom loves to take these kids out to have fun.  She took Ava shopping one day, and then took the kids to the zoo and splash pad in O-Town.  Ava was so tired after the exciting weekend.  Here are some pictures from the zoo.  

Love....

I love this picture and had to post it!!  She is growing so fast, and her world is going to be changing here in about 2 months.  She is going to be a great Big Sister, and it will be so much fun.  She is doing so good in her big girl bed, and her new room is looking so cute!!  

ZOO....

Well, Zoo season has begun!!  Ava and I love the Zoo, and lucky for us Grams got us a Zoo pass for her birthday.  It's so fun, and every time we go it's a different adventure.  She is just growing up so fast, and I'm loving this age.  She is too fun, and at the same time a handful.  I love you Ava Bentley!!!

Happy 30th Birthday.....

I'm really late posting this because Andy's 30th Birthday was April 28th.  But I wanted to wish him a very Happy Birthday, and wow what an amazing husband and father he is.  I LOVE this man very much, and I can not explain how he has made me a better person.  So thank you Andy.....

Hope your birthday was awesome, and I love you very much!!!

Easter....

We had a wonderful Easter weekend!!  So much fun dying eggs with Ava this year.  We made a huge mess in the kitchen, but it was totally worth it.  And Grams came over early to help with lunch, and to spoil Ava.  They have a great time together.
