Ava is 11 months old

So another month has gone by, my little baby girl is growing up so fast (well not really). She is probably weighing in at 16lbs and is getting an attitude (wonder where she gets that from).

Ava is done with baby food, wants nothing more to do with it, so I found some other things for her to eat (well thanks to Amber). Ava doesn't like Banana's, Avocado's and well drinking out of a sippy cup, so on these hots days I resort to having her drinking water out of a syringe (like you give the Tylenol) she likes that, but I can only do that for so long. Ava is down to about 3-4 bottles.

Ava is not crawling on her knees but still doing the fast army crawl and I have to watch her all the time otherwise she has found a new cord. She loves to stand up like a big girl and clap (its so cute). The last couple days she wants to be held, which isn't good as I might be taking a temporary position starting July 7, that is if I can find daycare that meets our standards. So enough about my baby girl, but she is my whole life and my inspiration to keep going everyday.

Like I said above my work or ex-work has a special project and I was asked to do it. Which you probably wondering why, since I am getting paid to stay home now. They offered more money an hour too good to pass up. But I might have to as I need to look at the whole picture and what is best for me and my family. I need to find good daycare and then decide with that cost if it is even worth it. So any daycare suggestions would be greatly appreciated (as I don't know what I am doing). My other problem is leaving Ava, how is she going to be if I go back to work, she is so attached to me, but we will have to deal with it.

OK next subject, so Geoff and I have been married for a week and I think the only different is, it is now legal :), he is wearing a ring :), and I have a new last name (well not yet, but in a couple of weeks).

Geoff & Adria's Wedding

June 21st 2008

So we did it, we went and got married. Geoff never wanted to get married again and me I never wanted to get married and look what we have gone and done and couldn't be happier. First I want to thank our parents without them and all their hard work made our wedding the 2ND best day of my life. It was perfect the weather held out and we had so many of our friends and family there couldn't of asked for anything better.

I was having a hard time, I was freaking out, I started crying while Margaret was doing my make-up, then I started crying when I saw my dad in his tux and then when I was walking down the aisle and saw Geoff standing there I started to panic and I don't really remember anything after that until we walked down as Mr. and Mrs. Geoffrey Land.

The whole reception went by so fast we ran out of time. Geoff and I had our first dance (and it was really the first time we danced) we picked Big and Rich - Lost in this moment.

These are just a few highlights and pictures there will be and updated posted soon.

Thanks you to everyone and we love you all.

Father's Day Weekend

I am hoping Geoff had a good Father's Day Weekend. Saturday we went to the park after swim lessons and had a Picnic. The kids played on all the toys, and Ava got to swing (but she loved it).

After the park we came home and all took a nap, well Geoff, Ava, Taylor and I did. Then Mike and Margaret came over with Lauren and Joseph for a BBQ and to practice on my hair for the wedding which is in less than a week.

Sunday we went to another park to feed the ducks, the kids loved it. After that we went to Jim's house (geoff's dad) to drop off some wedding stuff. Then we to my parents house for a BBQ (papa chito cooked).
