First up, nail shellac. Mom and I had our nails shellacked for mother's day. I got a dark brown and she got a french. Mine was shiny and fresh for two weeks even after I did a lot of gardening (pics to come!). Mom's french lasted longer since she wasn't aggressively clawing at the ground planting rows of annuals. Grow out was a problem with the dark polish...clearly not a problem with the french.
Getting the shellac off took soaking them in 100% acetone for a few minutes and some picking.
Shellac is great. Why didn't someone invent it sooner?
Awhile ago Lisa and I went to the liquor store during lunch, oops. I really can't describe our excitement when we found Skinny Girl Margaritas right there at our local store! Bethenny definitely wiggled her way into my heart during Bethenny Getting Married and Bethenny Ever After. Now I feel like I'm friends with her, Jason, and baby Bryn. Lisa feels the same way, evidenced by the tweet she sent to Bethenny showing her product display at the store. Did she respond, Lisa???Skinny Girl Margarita is a light marg created by Bethenny. I think it's just lime juice, agave nectar, tequila. It's delicious and low in cals! I'm pretty sure it's going to be my summer drink. Have any of you (non-pregnant) girls tried it?
Baby Jeggings. Ava's CUTE little friend Edan Crews brought her an outfit for Valentine's Day. It was a pretty white eyelet top and jeggings, just precious. Here she is wearing them, trendy girl. Aren't they so cute. They're perfect because they're soft like leggings, but styled like jeans. That Edan has good taste. Yes, I know they're pulled up too high and cutting her in half.
You can also see that I decided obnoxiously large baby flowers are a good idea.
Because everyone loves a naked baby...Taking baths with Ava is fun. I think she pees in the tub but I don't care.
The old bathroom has been ripped out, new bathroom framed, and since this picture was taken the new bathroom has also been dry walled. Marc works on it in all of his "spare" time (he has about as much as I have).
On Mother's Day we had Ava's dedication. It was a nice service and mom and dad came out for it! Marc's parents and Matt were there too. We've been joking that by dedicating her we're giving her to Jesus to take raise (sort of joking, sort of serious). In this picture, I think she's asking the pastor if it will be Jesus who picks her up from daycare everyday. She rewore her Easter dress, she's not a celebrity you know. Sometimes she has to repeat an outfit.
Here we are on Mother's Day. 
We grilled fajitas and had a gorgeous day in the back yard.
All of the fun made this little puddin' tired so she took a nap in what I thought was the shade. I loved how she was sleeping-her little hand on her forehead like "it's all too much, life is exhausting".
She wore her new sunglasses like a good girl.
She was not in the shade for her nap and she got a little sun :(. It really wasn't that bad, not as bad as it looks in this picture. 4 months old, unbelievable. She discovered her voice this weekend and she's having a great time learning how to use it. Probably the sweetest little noises I've ever heard.
