Congratulations on the birth of baby Ava! Tell Maddy and Emma, Faith and Emerald say hi. I'm sorry I haven't called. Our family has been sick off and on since before Christmas.
God bless all of you.

The Hannah Montana thing sounds really neat and it sounds like you had a really good time. I like the picture you picked out for you purse. It's so cute...
You are so lucky that Ava is sleeping for that stretch during the night! That's awesome!!
Much Love, -Michelle (bhp.net/aultman) Feb 08 2008
I can give you the recipe if you want! Your children would have a blast making it/eating it! (except baby Ava!) So easy...

Glad to see you guys also had a GREAT time at Hannah Montana!! The pictures are cute. How nice of Christian's parents.
Super Glue, works wonders. But the nurse did recommend the liquid band aid first and to be sure to hold the gash closed tight and then apply the super glue in order to keep the super glue out of the actual wound! Beat the heck out of the ER and paying the fees there! Of course if it was worse, I would have taken him in! Hopefully today will be less eventful :)
Have a great day!!
Hugs, Stacey - Feb 07 2008
Looks like you all had a blast at the Hannah Montana movie! The girls looked adorable posing with Hannah. Hannah looked a bit stiff though...
Love the newest picture of Ava with that gorgeous little smile! What a sweetheart she is! I can tell that she lights up a room with that little grin!
We had a snow day today....tons of snow, even for us! So no, Renee didn't make it back to school today, and continues to run a fever (at night only) around 100.2 I guess she'll be home again tomorrow.
I'll drop you an email in regard to Cali plans, but I too would love the opportunity to meet up with you guys! I feel honored that you all would even consider driving that far! Renee has already asked me if I'll take my camera so she can see pictures!! Even she's excited!
Hope you all have a good rest of the week! Lots of love, Kristin - Feb 06 2008
Looks like you guys had a blast at the movie! How fun! You sure have a wonderful family.

Julie,
The Hannah Montana Movie was JUST like her CONCERT. They did an awesome job! Loved the girl shirts too. Perfect!
Hannah Montana ROCKS! -Tina Wiggins Feb 06 2008
Looks like tons of fun. The girls looked so cute in their glasses. Love the smiley face on Ava. Hugs, -Mom Feb 05 2008
Maddy & Emma, Looks like you had fun at the Hannah Montana movie. Hope you enjoyed your popcorn! Looks yummy!
-Auntie Tina Feb 05 2008
Uncle Christian, Auntie Julie, Maddy, Emma, Landon and Ava~ Thank you for your birthday wishes for me. Have a great weekend. Love, Karly -bhp/ekman5 Feb 02 2008
Great choice for the purse. You'll have plenty of time to have pics of kids with well groomed hair, and no jammies, but for now go for the cute, cute faces. It will be a great purse picture. Love you tons, -Mom Feb 01 2008
Thanks for the encouragement with Aydan. Sometimes, I think I worry TOO much about the boys. We may start trying for #3 this fall depending on my work schedule. We are also weighing the pros/cons of me staying home. If we can afford it, I may try to stay home. We aren't exactly taking any precaution against having a baby right now either if you know what I mean. Keep sending that pink dust. I know you, out of anyone, will have some lucky pink dust with those 3 girls of yours.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Jamie -bhp/ejhaynes Feb 01 2008
The pictures of the kids turned out beautiful!! Everyone looks great! How do you narrow them down? You most definately should have one for your purse now!!
Kristin - Jan 30 2008
Oh Julie...all the photos came out really good. Everyone looked like they were all in a good mood! Just to beautiful.
Hope all is well! -Tina W Jan 30 2008
WOW, I dont know where the time goes, Ava is getting so big already! And so cute! bhp/meesterfamily -Katie Jan 29 2008
Hey Julie,
Thanks for leaving the comments... I think we will go short tomorrow for Kate. I will have to post some pics when we get home... As for skiing... If you can budget it in... it is SO worth it. Skiing is an expensive sport (we have found out) but the kids will LOVE it!! My Dad started me when I was 2 and I have never turned back. They have programs for Landon as well as the girls. If you start them young it is so much easier!! Haden's lessons included all the equipment which was very nice. I did not start Kate b/c I feel like she needs to be a little more "stable" on her feet before she gets on skis... We will probably start her when we get to Georgia. From what I understand we can head into North Carolina or Tenn to ski. Email me if you want more info... -Jen W Jan 29 2008
I loved the concert too. I don't know if I would have recognized Jamey Kennedy. Christian is good, and he always has his antenae up. The girls looked like they had a great time at the birthday party. Glad Ava is doing so much better. About Landon...hang tough he'll out grow it and then you'll be sad. It is rare to have a jabber-jaws boy. Atleast you know what's going on in his little mind. Love you tons, -Mom Jan 28 2008
I, too, love the pic of all of your children! I can hardly get Quinn to look at the camera, much less sit still with 3 others and take wonderful pictures! I think any of them will be a great pic for your purse. Don't you just love handbags (or should I call them diaper bags?)
bhp/quinnalexa -Lauren, Lee, and Quinn Jan 25 2008
Ok, I had sooo much fun trying to figure out who your babies are that I can't wait to find out if I'm right! I think I am, I think I am!! Email me and let me know if I am!!
I love the pictures of your four outside! Seems so weird to see green outside pictures when all we have is snow here! (And bitter cold) The kids did great for the pictures! I made my vote for my favorite, but I don't think you can go wrong on a couple of them! I'm glad you finally got the picture you were hoping for!! It does get easier!
Hope you're having a good week! Love, Kristin -bhp/schauers Jan 22 2008
Congratulations on the birth of Ava! I know I'm late, sorry! She is so beautiful! :) Ava and Colton are only a couple days apart...can you believe how fast they're growing up? It's so sad! Hope you are feeling well. -Kristen (bhp.net/tannerjoseph) Jan 20 2008
Hey Julie....
Did you guys get your Hannah Montana tickets to see her 3D movie. If not you better hurry they are SELLING OUT QUICK! They are only playing the movie for one week and the ticket price well that is another story....
Just thought I drop in to let you in on the news AND to see how you are all doing. Loved your hubby's article. What a great inspiration and Ava OH BOY she is getting big and beautiful too of course.
Have a good weekend, -Tina W Jan 18 2008
What a joy to read and catch up with your family! I'm looking forward to reconnecting as we both work in Children's Ministry and so close to each other! -Tammy Shields Jan 17 2008
Ooooh, I like the new home page look. Give the kiddos a kiss from their Aunti Tete ~ -Montse Jan 17 2008
Yay! Ava slept through the night! Just in time, too, with your going back to work and all. Didn't one of your other children sleep through the night the night before you went back to work? I hope she keeps it up, but I know what you mean about missing the quiet and calmness of the middle of the night feeding. There's just something precious about that time! Love, -Christie Murray Jan 16 2008
Christian and Julie
You have a beautiful family. Congratulations! If I ever make it to the West Coast again it would be great to see you guys. -Bret Taylor Jan 15 2008
Hi Julie! I hope your transition back to work was a good one for everyone! What a blessing to find the perfect person to help you out in the nick of time! Ask and you shall receive!
Keep the pictures coming! Ava changes so much everytime you post new ones!
Hope all is well!! Hugs to everyone! Love, Kristin -bhp/schauers Jan 15 2008
Hi honey, I was just looking at your family page and I can't believe how different Emma looks. She has such a chubby face and looks so young. It's time to add Ava to the family page. You guys constantly been growing. I love you, and I am so happy about the sitter news. I bet Lita will be thrilled that she is Spanish speaking, maybe Ava's vocabulary will be influenced. Love you, -Mom Jan 14 2008
Hey Julie! It has been awhile for me to visit.. I loved Christian's story.. What an inspiration! WOW!! Ava is as cute as ever, and yes still looks like Emma :) I hope you had a wonderful holiday and I promise to check in more often... -Jen Wilson (bhp/wilsonj94) Jan 14 2008
I am so glad you found someone to look after your little ones. She sounds like the perfect fit. What an answer to prayer! I hope your first day back was great! Love, -Christie Murray Jan 14 2008
I can't believe Ava is already 1 month old! Wow, time flies...
You look great...love the handprint/footprint idea. That's awesome.
Much Love -Michelle (bhp.net/aultman) Jan 13 2008
Julie, The girls and I are planning a trip to S. Cali in Mid May. We can't wait to see you all and meet Miss Ava! Hugs and Smooches!!! -Cheryl Jan 13 2008
hi julie! it was so nice to see you yesterday. i hope we can do it again soon. i read christian' article and it brought tears to my eyes! i am so proud of him for all his accomplishments! i think i need to see rocky :) -Allison Goldsworthy Jan 10 2008
What a great article and even greater inspiration! Way to go Christian!! Not only are you turning everything you've felt over the years into a positive outlet, you're going to inspire countless people into making a positive change themselves!! Keep on keeping on!! You rock!!
Kristin -bhp/schauers Jan 09 2008
Christian, Your story is inspiring and well-written. I have no doubt that someday (or lots of somedays) you'll be up on a stage inspiring people with that story and many others. Good work!
--Lisa P Jan 08 2008
Christian you are so awesome!!!! We are so proud of you! GREAT job!!!!! -The Thompsons Jan 08 2008
Wow Christian thats is so very inspiring what a wonderful story and such a great role model you are for those beautiful babies. Keep up the good work! Lots of love -Jamie Ward Jan 08 2008
Christian,
That story is a perfect story of how God moves us in the direction where He knows we can excel. God is definitely using you and your story to let others out there know it can be done with some hard work and determination... thank you for sharing your story... I am 25 pounds lighter and I hope to continue my weight loss as you have inspired me to keep moving! We will be praying that your injury heals and you continue to inspire others with your hard work! You have a beautiful family and such a great support team! -Debbie Wax (and family) bhp/datsdwax Jan 08 2008
