LONG TIME!!!

So I haven't really had a whole lot to post about lately we have just been so BUSY getting ready for little Ava to get here. My amazing friend Dani gave me a baby shower I will have to post pictures as soon as I can find my camera cord. I got so many fun gifts Ava is already beyond spoiled thanks to everyone that came and thanks so much to Dani for being such an amazing friend in so many ways! I am down to my weekly appointments finally and we are down to about 3 1/2 weeks till her due date. Libby starts preschool on September 8th it is going to be such a bittersweet day. I am excited for her to meet new friends and have fun in school, I am so sad that she won't be home with me all day everyday she is my little side kick. Libby is so excited for her little sister to come she can't wait to meet her. I will get some of my shower pictures posted very soon so check back.

Maternity Photos

Name

So we have finally agreed on the name we will be using for our sweet new baby!! We hope it will stay since I have a little Project I am making for her room that uses her name but ya never know I may hear another name we choose or we might see her and decide on something different but for now we are pretty certain on this name.

AVA MEREDITH HUGEL

We only have 68 days until her due date and we sure do hope that she will come and not be as stubborn as little Libby I went 7 days over with Libby and was MISERABLE for those 7 days. We are so excited to meet to her!! We are getting her nursery put together slowly but it's getting there we are still working on trying to find some good bedding. My Grandma Bonnie is making a BEAUTIFUL quilt that will always be a keepsake and we are trying to find solid bedding to match the prints and colors of it and haven't had much luck. I will post pictures of her nursery as soon as we get it all put together I am hoping we can get it put together in the next few weeks so we can be already. I am also trying to remember what needs to be packed in my hospital bag I know how awful I can't even remember so any suggestions are welcome to get my mind flowing. What in the world do I wear home? I know it seems silly but I dunno what to wear home such dumb little things to stress about but if you know me you know I always stress about silly little things and never the big things that are worth stressing over. We are getting super excited check back soon hopefully we will have some pictures posted of the nursery!

California

This post has taken me forever to post because I knew I had so many pictures I want to post that it would take awhile to upload them all so here it is FINALLY!! We headed to California in the middle of June we left and drove with Janine (Scott's Mom) and the kids to Santa Cruz we stayed with Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Bob we were also lucky that Ashley and Keoni came and spent time with us as well. Aunt Bonnie kept us well fed with lots of yummy food she also kept us busy with all kinds of fun things we got to go to 2 different beaches, Bowling, the Boardwalk, a triple A baseball game and to my request she took us to China Town. I loved the Beach so much fun to relax and enjoy the sun Libby loved playing in the sand. We had so much fun with all the fun things we got to do. After spending the first few days in Santa Cruz we headed to Vacaville to spend sometime with the Hugel side of the family we started out by going to Discovery Kingdom. Libby got to feed an Elephant, Giraffe, and Dolphin she also got ride on some fun rides and watch some awesome animal shows. Nathan Graduated high school so the next day we went to his Graduation and then off we went camping. I didn't get very many pictures while boating and camping but we had lots of fun Libby loved going on boat rides and playing in the water while we were camping she also LOVED the s'mores but really who doesn't love s'mores. We had so much fun on our vacation thanks to everyone who kept us well entertained and kept our belly's full. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Reno/Virgina City

I really meant for these posts to be a little closer since I am so far behind but seriously it's summer there are so many other things I would rather be out doing than blogging but I will try and get it all caught up soon. The middle of May I headed to Reno with Libby and my Grandma to help Grandma with the Metcalf kiddo's so Aunt Missy and Uncle Ty could go on an Alaskan cruise for their wedding anniversary. We got to go see Virgina city with the whole family after Ty and Missy got home and Grandpa and Scott got there it was so much fun such a fun little town with fun stores lots of fun antiques and a candy store that I loved. Libby and Scott went on a tour of a mine they both loved I decided I would take a tour of the mine next time it didn't sound to fun being pregnant and all. We had so much fun thanks to Ty and Missy!!

MIA

I have been MIA I haven't posted in so long but the reason is because there has been lots going on so I have lots to post now. The beginning of May I headed for San Francisco with my Mom, Grandma and Aunts for a girls getaway. While we were there we went on a boat tour under the Golden Gate Bridge, saw Wicked and went to the Muir Woods. We had so much fun it was a much needed getaway for all of us here are a few pictures I took Please ignore mine and my Mom's hair the wind was out of control on the boat tour.
