Okay...so I might be the worst blogger ever! Since my last post so much hos happened! We bought our house, have done LOTS of remodeling and most importantly gave birth to our new baby girl!!!!! That is right..Anistyn May Cartwright entered the world on May 7th at 11:14 am. She weighed 8.6 pounds and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is so perfect!! Ava is an amazing big sister and she is so helpful! We are so blessed and amazed at these gifts that God has given us! Pictures are on the way!!

We Are Expecting!!

This is something we have been praying about for a while now and so many others have too! We are soooo very excited and Ava gets to be a big sister!! Our due date is May 14th so we will all have the entire summer together! I will post some picture as soon as I can!

First Day of School!!!

Today Bryan and Ava headed back to school! She was so excited, but I can't say Bryan and I share her excitement. It just doesn't seem like we should be starting already! Ava got to pick out her own outfit this year. I didnt know what to say when she brought me a tutu! But, I decided that was a battle that I am choosing not to fight! So we wore a tutu! I was told she was spinning around all day! :)

SHe is showing me her spins!

All ready to go!

Ava and her teacher! She loves her!!
She tells me their hair matches!

Tulsa Trip!

We spent a couple of days in Tulsa with Bryan snce he had to attend Coach's Clinic. We had so much fun. We got to spend some tie with Bryan's brother and his wife We love hanging out with them so much! We went chopping, ate great food and even got to go see Chuck E. Cheese. Ava loved him!! She was so funny!

Ava had her very first Summer Recital! She had so much fun!! She took it all so very serious it was so funny to watch!

Tada!!!

I'm ready!!

Daddy, Ava and Mommy!

We spent The Fourth of July with Bryan's family down on the Red River! We had so much fun!! We had a fish fry, we visited with family, popped and watched fireworks, ate homemade ice-cream! Ava loves to go down there where she can swim in the river and get as dirty as she wants to. Ava has also been going to swimming lessons this past week and it has kept her very busy! God has opened a new door for me in Women's Ministry. I began a bible study in my home and more than 15 women have joined!! God has been so good to us and we are so blessed to have this opportunity to grow in His word!

Ava keeps asking me to take pictures of her, she is so much like me! :)

Wow! It's been a while! We have been so busy with the end of year stuff and Summer activities beginning. Bryan has taken on another duty as Boy's Head Basketball coach so he has been really busy with Summer ball. I started Summer School last week, I know crazy! Ava has been busy with her gymnastics. We went with a big group from Church to Magi Srpings in Arkansas. We had so much fun! I am posting a lot of pics of the past month, there are a lot! Until next time...
