California!

We went down to California last weekend for a wedding and had lot's of fun! I flew in with Ava a couple of days before Ian got there so we could spend some time with Angi and her family. It was so good to get away and see everybody!



Ava's first time in the ocean! She loved it and would have gone in a lot further if I let her! But she loved to feel the waves on her legs and the sand in her toes. :)



I just love the ocean! So beautiful.


Being at the beach now that I have a one year old, is not the same as it used to be! I spent most of my time chasing her around and trying to keep her from eating sand, didn't go too well as you can see her gagging from putting a sandy hand in her mouth! =O



She did sit peacefully for a moment enjoying a nice bottle while watching the ocean. She loves her bottles! I don't know how we'll ever get rid of them.....



Enjoying a nice swing with the beautiful ocean in the background, oh how I'll miss the ocean!



Lexi and Ella pushing her in the swing, she absolutely loves her cousins!



Grandma and Aunt Angi took all the kids to the aquarium while we were in L.A. at the wedding, she had so much fun looking at all the fishies!



Going for a ride on the cement bunny rabbit. This little figure sits outside of Angi's house, and Ava walked out the front door and hopped on, so cute!



And a shot of Ian and I at his friend Cory's wedding. It was very formal as you can see and was alot of fun getting all dressed up and having a whole entire night out to ourselves! A first in over 15 months. Well deserved...

Randoms

Just some random happenings lately......

Ava got her first professional haircut a couple of weeks ago at Cookie Cutters. She did really well. She got to sit in a cute little pink car and watch Sponge Bob. But, I would have to say that she was mostly preoccupied by a little boy getting his hair cut who was screaming his head off! She couldn't take her eyes off him. Made for a great distraction. ;)


Driving the car.

Almost done.

And a cute after picture of her new haircut!

Ava has been climbing on everything lately!! The other day, I ran downstairs to switch the laundry and I heard Ava scream (nothing she doesn't do on a regular basis when I leave the room). So I didn't think too much of it until I came upstairs and found out what she was up to! I think she was screaming because she knew she was doing something naughty and couldn't figure out how to get out of it! Never a dull moment around here...... =o

Two friends. We went to sushi the other day with the Joder's and these two had a lot of fun. It's so fun now that Ava is getting a little older and can interact with the other kids more. She loves Kate!

Hugs on the park bench, too cute!
