September is here!

Where did the summer go? I am sure there are many of you thinking the same thing! Avery is going to be 2 months old this month. She has grown so much. We can not wait to see what she weighs now! She is smiling a lot and cooing! She is such a great baby STILL! We are so blessed with our 2 girls, they are both great! Gabrielle is still doing great being a big sister. Getting a lot more used to it these days! Getting the diapers and wipes for mom when I need help with that! She has been getting braver and going on the tube behind the boat when grandpa Thovson drives. She really enjoys it and it is hard getting her off most times! I even went on the tube, I have not been on a tube for YEARS! It was fun though!

This past weekend we had our first BIG venture out with Avery since being born. We went to Omaha. Stayed at a water resort there and went to the Zoo. Wow that zoo there is awesome. We did not get to see everything there (because it is so big) but got to see a lot! It was so much fun!

Gabrielle Turns 4

Just some pictures I took yesterday on her birthday!

Gabrielle and her cake!

So our 1st born has turned the BIG 4. Wow, I can not believe it. Seems like just yesterday I was holding her in my arms. So AWESOME watching kids grow up everyday. Seeing all the changes! What a great life! I love my kids and my family! And God is blessing us everyday!

Keep an eye out for new pictures of Avery and Gabrielle coming SOON!

1 Month Old

Our little girl is 1 month old (yesterday)! Wow, where has the time gone. Before I know it she will be 1 year old! She is doing great. Sleeping like a champ at night, getting better with the naps during the day, and just a great baby all together! So very blessed to have her in our lives! Her next doctor appt is not until she is 2 months old. Then we get to see how much she has grown and the thing i hate.....the shots!

Gabrielle had a great birthday party this past Sunday! She will be 4 this Sunday the 15th! WOW!! My "little girl" is growing up so FAST! She is something great! A big helper and such a great girl! She enjoys playing with the neighbor hood kids EVERYDAY! She likes to ride her NEW birthday bike she got from Jake and I. Her other bike was a 12 inch one (this one is 16 inches) and had a wobbly tire (since someone ran it over....we will not mention names!)

Jake and I are doing great! Jake is still working at the same place but doing a different job for the time being to help out! I am still VERY BLESSED and staying home with the girls and doing photography on the side. Loving both of my "jobs"! Staying very busy with photography, which is great because I love it so much!

Until the next time....enjoy the rest of your summer and relax!

The Thovsons

20 Days old

Wow, our little one is the BIG 20 days old already! She is doing great still! Doing alright sleeping at night and taking naps during the day. Naps are kind of few and far between, so this Mom does not get much rest during the day. But that is fine, I can sleep when she is 4! Gabrielle is doing great at being a big sister. She enjoys helping out and holding her. But when she is done she is DONE! Everyone is adjusting well to everything and so excited to have little Avery her with us! Now the joys of watching her grow up.......way to fast!

I hope to take some more pictures of her sometime soon! So stay tuned!

Avery Newborn Pictures

Thought I would take a few pictures of Avery and Gabrielle when I had a quick second to spare. I am sure there will be more to come another day when time is right!!!!

Avery is doing great. She is now weighing in at 8 lbs! Eating and sleeping are BIG on her to do list everyday!

Gabrielle is still adjusting to the BIG sister/BIG helper role!

Avery Marie is HERE!!!!!

Avery Marie 7/10/10

Gabrielle 8/15/06

(Do they not look like each other or what?!!!!)

Avery Marie was born on 7/10/10 at 8:59am. She was 7 pounds 11 oz and 20 inches long! She is truly a beautiful little girl and looks just like Gabrielle did when she was born! Gabrielle is adjusting well, trying to get used to not being the only kid in the house anymore, after almost 4 years of just her and Mommy and Daddy!

BIG SISTER and Little Sister

Looking back almost 4 years ago......

As we await the birth of our 2nd daughter, I can not help but to think back almost 4 years ago when our 1st Princess was born!

Wow, how fast those years have gone by. I look at her and just can not believe how big she is getting- I just love it! Watching her grow- and the fact that I have been blessed to stay home with her for almost 2 years.
