Hard choices, good decisions..

So this last week or two has been crazy! Avery is trying her hardest to get a tooth! 9 and 1/2 months old an no tooth yet! Hunter got his first tooth when he was around 5 months old, I know every child is different, but come on! HA HA!!

Living in Oklahoma now, we expect to have some good storms, which we did have! Our street basically flooded and me, Hunter & my sister-in-law were out playing in the street :) Of course there were sighted tornados around (hey, it's Oklahoma) but we were nice & safe with a few thunderstorms & heavy rain!

Avery wore her first piggy-tails--- notice our BEAUTIFUL pink tiled bathroom ;) both my mother-in-law & Hunter's grandma both said our bathroom reminded them of their grandma's bathrooms! HA HA

All of these updates were cute, funny, or interesting, but now I must talk about my hard decision of the week.

I was called for an interview at a law firm here in Ardmore and decided to go-- not expecting I'd actually be called back the next day & offered a job! I was so excited! The office was beautiful, the people were nice, it was laid-back and the perfect hours. So what's the catch? I had to find Avery a daycare by today (Monday). Friday I was desperately calling daycares in the area & even outside Ardmore. They were full, not accepting infants, or just didn't answer all together. I was disappointed and stressed. Then, my mother-in-law called with great news! She had talked to a daycare and I could go look at it asap...

Long story short--- the outside looked abandoned, the people inside were too busy to talk, the infant teacher was barefoot!, and I started getting depressed. I didn't want a stranger taking care of my precious baby. And that was that. My decision had been made in my head, Avery would not be going to a daycare & I would not be accepting this job.

Two days later, here I am, at home with my baby- who happens to be napping at the moment. I feel like I have a new start, I am very very happy. I know this decision is right for Avery- who comes before what Cody or I think.

Hope you guys enjoyed my weekly update. More news asap :)

All Grown Up

Yupp, that is a picture of my baby boy, well not so baby anymore, at his first day of Kindergarten!! Wednesday, September 1st Hunter started his first day of school. He had pinky promised to me the night before that he'd let me dress him for his first day (thus, the cute collared shirt hehe) and that he would let me take cute pictures with him, well he decided to be difficult that morning, of course. But I did end up getting a few cute ones!

His school is called Will Rogers Elementary and is exclusively for Pre school-Kindergarteners and is still PACKED! These first few days have been crazy... He came home the first day and of course I was asking how his first day was and this was what he had to tell me:

1. He already has a new girlfriend (besides my best friend's daughter, Fergie (the girl singer in the band Black Eyed Peas) and Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly) haha)

2. But he couldn't remember her name (discovered yesterday that her name is Jaiden Jones, cute, huh?)

3. If the kids talk too much, the teacher will put them in hot water (haha which is I'm sure some kind of exaggeration of a joke the teacher said)

4. He HATES walking in the halls with his hands on his hips (Heaven forbid he has to walk without flailing his arms about)

5. He wishes he could ride the bus and begs me everyday to let him (we live too close, so he's not allowed to -even if his way-overprotective-mom would let him... in his dreams ;) haha)

6. His gf (Miss Jaiden Jones- I think that name is just too cute!) had to move her desk yesterday because SHE was talking to Hunter too much... hm, let's think about that!!

So Hunter is all settled in at school and I have a potential job possiblity with the state, so we shall see how that goes. As far as Avery, she is crawling EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING! Go figure... No teeth still :( boo! But her gums are super swollen so I'm hoping anyday now... She says "bububa" and "daddada" and "yayaya" but still no "mama" so that is what we work on everyday ;)

Cody has an amazing job that he loves and he's being such a good dad & husband! Our family is doing great in Ardmore. The weather has been awesome and it has just been a great week all around! I hope everyone else has been having a great week and I hope everyone has an even better holiday weekend! Good night!
