The Hensley Family Dinner

Every year the Hensley family gets together for a big dinner. This year it was held at Sammy's Lounge. There were over 50 Hensley's in attendance, it was an awesome turn out. Every year Santa comes and brings presents for the kids. Once Santa got there Ava was terrified of him. When he called her name to come and get her present she just started screaming!!! She cried and kept one eye on Santa the whole time she opened her present from him. As soon as Santa left all Ava would say was "Santa bye-bye" and any time you asked her about Santa she would say bye-bye. Hopefully next year she will do better when she sees him.......

Merry Christmas

Winter Fun......

Here are some pictures of us playing in the snow in early December. Ava enjoyed it for a little while, but had a blast when we brought out Champ. She loved watching him run around in the snow.

Ford Field Update.............

I'm sure most of you have heard now, but the Blackhawks lost in the state final game at Ford Field. It was an amazing experience for everyone. The boys played their hearts out and never gave up. They had a great season and did some things this year that no other football teams have done at Leslie!!! Great job boys. Here are some pictures from that day....

1st big time bruise/bump

On Saturday Ava was driving her ATV in the house and when she went to get off of it she slipped and hit her forehead on the corner of the wall. After we got her calmed down and got some ice on the area we were able to get a few pictures....

Papa Hensley was very concerned for the safety of his grand daughter so he had Jane by Ava her first bike helmet. She wasn't very fond of it but she will get use to it.....

The day after photo..........looking much better!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Miss Ava dressed up this year as a Deer Hunter. Her cousin Cameron was her deer, but Kyle wasn't able to get a good picture of Ava and Cameron together because she didn't want to sit still. Kyle had to take her Trick or Treating because I had to work. ( The Leslie Blackhawks made it to the football playoffs and played that night and were victorious!)

So, here a few pictures of her that I took before I left for work.

Our pumpkins were still going that night when we got home.....

20 week & 15 month update....

I went to the doctor's last week for my 20 week check up. Everything is going well. The baby's heartrate was 160bpm and my doctor is happy with how the baby is growing from the ultrasound results. Doctor Taylor is getting excited because our baby is going to be the last baby that he delivers!!! I'm sad, but I'm glad that we got pregnant when we did or else I would of had to find a new doctor and Dr. T is the awesome. My next check up at 24 weeks is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving!!! Half way there!!!

Miss Ava went to the doctor's last week as well for her 15 month check up and shots. She weighed in at 22.8lbs and is 31" tall. Jena is pleased with Ava and everything that she is doing. Jena also told Ava that she is one of the best little ones to do a check up on because she lays still while Jena listens to her heart & lungs and when she looks at her mouth, nose and ears!!! Poor Ava had to get her Tetanus & flu shot, so she wasn't happy with that but she got over it!!! Healthy one here doesn't have to go back to the doctor's until the end of January for her 18 month check up!!!!

The following pictures I took at my mom's house. Ava loved playing in the leaves!!!
