HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVAH!!!! THE BIG 2

Two years ago today Avah was getting ready to come into the world. It was a Sunday and i was at work i thought i had to go to the bathroom but after i went I COULDNT STOP PEEING or so i thought (it was a slow "leak") ! i quietly left work without telling anyone that i was leaving and went home. when i got home i told Wes i thought my water broke but i wasn't sure so i called the Hospital (i did not want to be "one of those girls" who goes to the hospital only to come home.... nothing wrong with those girls) they told me that i could come in but where i wasn't having contractions that it was probably nothing but we could go up there, this was at 6pm. I was up cleaning and couldn't go to sleep Wes was playing video games at 1 am i decided that maybe we should go to the hospital just in case (i still was not having any contractions). we got up there and we had to go through the ER because it was the only door open, finally we get to the Women's wing (this was before the had the Women's Center) and they test to see if my water really did break they couldn't really tell if it had or not so they say to rest and they will come put the monitors on. i COULD NOT SLEEP my family came and visited for a little while i started having contractions FINALLY i was able to get my "drugs"!!! the Epidural worked every where BUT where it was suppose to so the had to get me stronger drugs after that i dint really remember much. i remember Dr. Norda barely making it for the delivery (Avah was born on Memorial Day so everyone was with family having fun) he delivered her wearing shorts and filp flops! Avah was Born at 4:29 in the Afternoon on May 29, 2006 weighing in at 8LBS 9OZ the cord was around her neck and i remember that her face was blue and her body white. the nurse that was in there grabbed Avah and started rubbing her and giving her oxygen. after a few minutes i was able to hold her and everything was fine. not the best picture of me but what do you expect after being up for over 24hrs and pushing for 2 hrs

What a Beautiful surprise you were for your daddy and i, we did not expect to get you as quickly as we did. every day you become more of a little girl and soon you will be a "big girl" and wont want to hug me and kiss me BUT ILL LIKE YOU FOR ALWAYS ILL LOVE YOU FOR EVER AS LONG AS YOU ARE LIVING MY BABY YOU WILL BE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVAH WE LOVE YOU

ITS BEEN TOO LONG

I KNOW I KNOW IVE BEEN SLACKING AT THE POSTING. Where to start.....

this is Avah at 23 and 1/2 months. it makes me SO SAD that she is growing up. she is starting to become quit the little Princess... Maybe thats our fault because we call her princess and she can get what ever she wants from me but dad is another story atleast for now hahaha.

a few weekends ago we went up to idaho falls/rexburg for mothers day and avah could not get enough of her uncles Jaymin and Bryson. she loves them SOOOOOOO MUCH!!

we went to the park/zoo but we were having SO MUCH FUN that we missed the zoo hours by 15 mins. it was so fun to spend the afternoon with my baby brother brycee.

last weekend the 17th we went to Jerome, ID to visit wes's family for the anual McGuire family Pork Roast. Leon (my father-in-law) was up bright and early to get the pig in the smoker. now for those who know me i HATE HAM!!!!! but this was THEE BEST PORK(ham) I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! its a family "secrect" from back east. it was FREAKIN AMAZING. leon has some miniture horses and one of them had a colt. when it was born it was only 17 inches tall!!!!! Avah didnt like it so much but i thought it was adorable, i was able to pick it up and hold it. this is my favorite time of day. Avah finally asleep. we love snuggling at the end of the day.
so i had the GREAT IDEA.. lets make avah a tutu for her birthday. well it didnt take me too long only like 2-3 hrs. it turned out pretty cute the "finished" product is the next picture.

avah LOVES her tutu!! i basically had to rip it off her body, haha

baby animal days

Today avah and i went to baby animal days out at the west herritage center. IT WAS SO FUN, we forgot to take pictures(sad i know) but i did get 2 so here they are

avah didnt like the baby turtle so much

you cant see this one very good but avah is sitting in the lamb pen and WOULD NOT GET OUT

Big Girl Bed

wes's mom and dad were here this past weekend and when they were here they suprised us with a twin sized mattress and boxspring!!!!!! so now Avah is in a "Big Girl Bed" and she Loves it! i dont have a cute bedspread yet but as soon as i do i will be posting pictures of it.

a few week ago wes got a promotion and he is now the Shop and Parts manager! we still go up and see colten atlease once a month but we try and do it everyother weekend. work for me is going good, some sad news tho... ashley our payroll girl is leaving us :( her husband got a job offer in Denver and so they are moving. i will be taking ashleys spot as payroll, its exciting and im happy that im back doing payroll i really enjoyed it when i did it in Idaho Falls. this weekend is baby animal days and i HOPE we can go but we might be going to idaho.

thats just a little of whats going on in our world :D

What's In A Name

i saw this post on Ashley's page and so i thought i would copy it because its SO CUTE!

Avah Kyle McGuire

when i found out i was pregnant i was SO excited i couldn't wait to know what we were having and start thinking about names. i got all the baby name books i could find and went through them and made a list of what names i liked.

GIRLS

• Kylee, Sydney, Aspen, MaKinley, Aspen, Taylor, Riley, Dally, Jada, Kayla, Caroline, Addi, Afton, Atley, Bailey, Brook, Kendel, Kennedy, Paige, Paris

BOYS

• Austin, Ace, Asher, Hunter, Cache, Brantly/Brant, Brodie, Burke, Caldwell, Dally, Damien, Dillon, Lane, Logan, Nate, Owen, Parker, Price, Ryder, Tennessee, Troy, Tucker, Easton, Yates, Zane

i know some of the names are odd but oh well. Anyways my name is a family name Avery is my grandmas maiden name and Kay (my middle name) is my dad and grandmas middle name, i wanted her name to come from family. SO i wanted to name her Avari and call her Ava but Wes said no, so then we were going to name her Kylee Ave but i didn't really like that as it got closer to my due date. i LOVED the name Ava and Wes liked it too be we wanted her name to be "original" so Wes came up with the Idea to add a H to the end of AVA so that's how we got AVAH and at the time Wes's best friend was Kyle and i have a brother named Kyle so I agreed with the middle name Kyle.

SO THAT IS HOW WE GOT AVAH KYLE MCGUIRE

LADY LUCK

Grandma McGuire got this shirt for Avah this weekend while they were up here. HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY
