Cute as a "Cupcake"






My little Ava girl needed some new fall clothes....she is growing so much. Lately the weather here has been so unseasonably cool....70's. We are usually in the upper 90's this time of year with very high humidty. We have been gobbling up this wonderful weather....notice how little I've been inside to stamp! Ireally am heading to my stamp room after I get Ava down for her nap!

I snapped a picture of Ava this morning in one of her new outfits. I'm a little biased, but I think she is so cute in this outfit. I rarely put her in pigtails even though I think they are adorable. Last time I had her in pigtails I took her picture with Ethan.....it's one of my favorites!

No Ethan doesn't have pigtails, but this picture is definitely so cute! This picture was taken in January....oh how much can change in 6 short months. I miss him so!

Thank you for sharing such wonderful pics of your adorable children. I think of you and your family. It's so nice to see that Ava is smiling though I am sure she miss Ethan as much as you do. Remember to take it slow - one step at a time and always remember that Ethan will be there next to you - close to your heart. Kram - Anki

You are an amazing person! The picture are wonderful as always. I love the new kitty photo's! I was just like Ava when I was young growing up on the farm... only back then.. there was no moterized trucks.. I had to push them in buggy like babies. I think of you often and have so much admiration for you. God bless you and your family.

ADORABLE - just love the pig tails - and that smile - can't be any cuter. I love the pic of Ethan and Ava. What wonderful memories you carry, Alicia. Of course you miss him - and you always will - your strength is a source of inspiration. Prayers for you continue - LOVE the kittie pics too and I adore the name you picked out for your new little boy. I am sure Ethan is smiling down on all of you.

OMG...Ava is so precious :) I love this cupcake shirt on her with the cute skirt and leggings! The pigtails are the perfect touch. She is simply adorable...and I'm not biased :O)

I always loved that picture of Ethan and Ava also. The love between siblings is something unique that can never be replaced. You can see that love shining in both of their eyes.

Your babies are lucky to have you and Dave as parents. All of you are so blessed to have and to have had each other. God bless, friend.

I am a big fan of Lauren Meader's blog and have read your story through her eyes. I couldn't bring myself to come and read your blog as I thought it would be too upsetting. However, I am so glad I came to take a look as you are such a positive and strong person.

My heart aches as I read your blog posts and look at the pictures of your darling Ethan but know he will always be there with you. Ava is so lucky to have such loving parents who will always help her remember her gorgeous big brother.

Thanks for sharing your story so honestly and openly - it will certainly bring strength to others and give the rest of the world a chance to meet a special little boy - Ethan.

P.S I had a brother who died at age 3, in 1994. He is missed everyday but he will always live on in our memories.

Emelia's Frozen Party

Emelia's 4th birthday was all about Frozen like every other little girl turning 4!  She just loves to sing and dance to all the songs.  Here is her invitation.  She loved it!  
A friend of mine showed me how to make cookies with royal icing. I love this new hobby abc I've been getting better at my detail work. Like I needed another hobby, but what the heck!  The kids love to help make the cookies too!

Emelia Rose is 2!

My how time flies! Our darling little Emelia Rose is 2 already. Where has the time gone?  She is solo sweet and funny and did I mention adorable too! Her signature pigtails just add to her cute little personality.

One of my favorite things she does now is every night at bedtime I put her in her bed and she says in her sweet little voice,"Sweep in my window!" She loves for us to lay in her window seat while she is getting to sleep! Now if we could only get her to stay asleep in her bed all night!

These are her two year highlights!

Favorite foods: only have found a couple she doesn't like, cantelope and chicken. Otherwise she eats everything on her plate and yours too!

Loves to carry around a purse

Wears her pigtails with her bows!

Loves to do things "myself!"

Still likes to have a bottle at night night time.

Gives the best hugs and kisses!

Loves her little kitten Dakota and carries her around all of the time! She likes to smoosh her in the back of her trike!

Prayer Request

As some of you know that follow my blog our son, Ethan, has cancer and he relapsed last August. I am saddened to say that Ethan's cancer has progressed and we did not receive a very good report from his Doctor. He is still feeling great and you can't see any signs of this physically, but we don't know what the future holds. So I will be taking a "break" from my stamping blog. I'm sure all of you understand that I'm needed elsewhere right now! Thanks to all of you that check in and for all your kind words. This will definitely be the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life. So go hug your kiddos and live each day to the fullest! Please keep my Ethan and our family in your prayers! GOD BLESS!
