Ava's First Bike

Chris' aunt Becky gave us this little bike that was sitting in the garage at her house. Originally it was painted blue and yellow and red. So it was kinda boy-ish looking. But we fixed that! It also needed a couple links taken out of the chain, so Chris fixed it and I painted it and now its a brand new bike for little Ava!
She still has to get the hang of the whole bike concept, she hasn't really figured out how to pedal yet. Chris had to push her the whole way around the block. But she did get better at the steering aspect of it! So I'm sure it will all come together eventually! She looked so cute though! I can't believe my little girl is old enough to ride a bike! Mommy and Daddy love you and are so proud of you Ava! Keep at it and you can do anything you put your mind to! All it takes is belief in yourself and you can learn how to do achieve anything you want in life!

Primerica in Palm Springs!

This last weekend Chris and I took a very much needed vacation! We went to Palm Springs for a Primerica Weekend Retreat and it was AWESOME! The 5 Star resort we stayed at was just incredible and the education and motivation we got was priceless. We have now returned with a whole new outlook and are ready to grow our business like never before! We've set some big goals for ourselves so it is going to be a great next couple months! I am so excited and so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and partner. I know he is going to do great things and we are going to be able to provide an incredible life for our family in the process!

Here are some of the pics that we took over the weekend!
We had fun going around the grounds and taking all kinds of pictures...

In the lobby of the hotel they had these parrots. They were pretty and fun to look at!

These are the views from our room...

This is after one of the sessions Saturday morning. The resort was so neat! Definitely a place I want to go more often when we are rich some day! haha! In the middle of the resort was this little lake! And you can see it very well behind us, but in the lobby there was this dock that had boats and you could get on the little boats and they took you across the small lake to the restaurant! It was a pretty snazzy place!
This is at dinner Saturday night. It was supposed to be a sailor/pirate/ aquatic costume themed party but we didn't dress up... It was fun to see the creative costumes some people came up with though!

We car pooled with some friends of ours that actually introduced us to this business last year. Brett and Malori Kartchner. We have become great friends with them so we all had a good time hanging out for the weekend! We owe them a lot for introducing us to this incredible opportunity! THANKS BRETT AND MALORI!!

Hard Work Weekend

Well, I don't have any pics to show, but yesterday Chris and I went and finished landscaping the back yard at my parents rental house over in Queen Creek. And we didn't bother to ask any one for help because we had done most of it a couple months ago but we ran out of rock. So the trees and plants were all done, we just had to spread the remainder of the gravel which was about 5 tons. Anyways, boy did we learn our lesson! Never under estimate how long it takes to move 5 tons of gravel... ugh! Needless to say, instead of it taking the two hours we thought it'd take, it ended up taking us about 5 to get it all done. So we are definitely feeling it today! In fact, I'm so sore that I swear trying to pick Ava up this morning it felt like she weighed ten pounds heavier than usual! haha... so we won't be volunteering to do any more landscaping any time soon... But it was still a great weekend! It is nice to work hard like that every once in while. It definitely gives you a feeling of great accomplishment when you push yourself to your limits! Never thought I'd say this, but I am grateful that my parents taught me to work!

Little bits from Last week...

Here are just a few pics from last week! Nothin too exciting, but we are just keepin it real! haha!

--Ava and Mommy wasting time at McDonalds on Thurs while our truck was being fixed across the street.

--Well, I am getting old... Friday was my 22nd birthday and although I didn't take any pics, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone! And Thanks Chris for taking me out to dinner! I had a good time! Love you!

--Saturday Chris and I decided that it is coming down to the last wire and so we packed up our puppies in the truck and camped out on the side of the road to sell our puppies! I know... pretty red neck right? Well, it was kind of the last resort option! This is also a pretty popular place to sell puppies, every weekend there are always people on this particular corner in Queen Creek trying to sell random stuff... So we thought it was worth the try! And surprisingly a lot of people stopped to come and see the puppies! We only sold two, but it was better than sitting at home all day and not selling any! And we gave out our number to lots of potential puppy buyers! So hopefully the puppy selling will pick up!

Can't believe we've had these puppies for 10 1/2 weeks now! Boy, how time flies!

I was out in the yard trying to get some decent pictures of the pups to post another ad in the paper and Ava just insisted on getting her picture taken too! Silly girl....
