Valentines, Easter, and A Lot More...

Grandpa Lowary got her a special Valentine's Day outfit- I LOVE IT!!!
Every single time that we lay her down to change her pants, this is what she does- she just tries to crawl away.
I love when she plays good in her walker, she's not in it all that much because she LOVES her jumper so much, but she does pretty good in it for a couple minutes and then she starts to get a little fussy.
She LOVES her jumper SO much, she will play in it forever and love every minute of it, not so much at first, but now she does GREAT!!
Blayne's mom and I made Ava an Easter dress, it was my first time really sewing anything, so I think it turned out pretty good, it was a little big, but that just means she can wear it more, right?

This is the finished product, cute huh? This was us right before church, isn't she cute?!
We don't get pictures of all of us very much, and when we do, she's always dressed up and Blayne and I are always in sweats!!

We always put her on a blanket to play, does she ever stay there?? Of course NOT!!!! Hahaha, she always tries to go to the couch, or under the chair, anywhere that she's not suppoesd to be really.

BIG FAT CHANGE OF PLANS!!!!

Ok, so I know I said that we were moving to California and that Blayne was going to attend USC, but we got a WONDERFUL phone call this week and our plans changed drastically!!! Blayne got a call from Ohio State on Wednesday and they offered him an amazing fellowship. He is getting his entire tuition payed for, plus a little over $1,200.00 every month for living expenses, plus we get 85% off of the school health insurance, so for our whole family to be on it it's only like $70.00 a month. Isn't that incredible???!!! We are super excited to go, we'll be leaving in August, I think. Another exciting thing is that the cost of living isn't very much there, so we can get a pretty nice apartment, which will be great!!! It's still a REALLY good school and ranked in the top 10 for his program. Since they have called Blayne, he has already been contacted by a recruiter from KPMG (one of the Big 4 accounitng firms) and also by 2 LDS couples that are also going to be moving across the country to go there, and their wives had the same concerns about making friends as I did, so now hopefully we'll get together and hit it off, that makes me really happy because I was pretty nervous about that! Columbus, OH here we come!!!!

I also have to metion that Denise Watts had her baby, Alia, on Wednesday- she is BEAUTIFUL, she is just such a PERFECT little baby!!! I wish I had a picture to post, but I don't, I'm a dork and didn't bring my camera when I went to see her. I'm super excited for Denise, she's going to have so much fun!!!

I'll try to post more often, but for now that's it, it's been a pretty big week, but SUPER great!!!
