Ava's Birthday Party (a picture post)

Cookin it up

I know I've had this on facebook for a while now, but it deserves a spot on this here blog, too.

ENJOY!

Some of our Summer

I've totally been slacking. Sorry. You know how when you're consistently doing something, it's easy to continue, but once you stop for a little bit, it's so hard to get back into the routine...
A lot has happened since my last post. We've moved to a new place, which I absolutely love. There is such a peace when you know you're where God wants you to be.

Here are a few pictures from June and July. More posts to follow. ...I hope ;)

Ava's turned into a little fish! She is always begging to go swimming, and she can do it all by herself (with the help of her lifejacket, of course ;)

4th of July at Nana and Papa's

Gabe's first solid food. Ava loves to help feed him.

This is a trail right by our new place that goes down to the river. It's so beautiful, it reminds me of when Mo and I would hike down to Snoqualmie Falls.

Little Man sleeping while we picnic halfway down the trail.

Ava found a bright pink lipgloss in the cabinet, so we had a little fun!

Ava has officially inherited the "camera psycho" gene! Passed on from Grandpa Gib to my mom, to me, and now to Ava... This is her first shot.

I found this dress in my parents storage room that was mine in the 2nd grade. I love that Ava can play dress up in it. Will you look at those sleeves though??? I don't think they get much puffier than that!

It's a bit of a brag-and-gag post (sorry, Lori!!!), but, that's pretty much what my blog is all about! Love you all!

INSANITY

Need I say more?

Kentucky Derby

These pictures pretty much sum Ava up to a "T".

I can't tell you how excited she was to be able to dress up in these pieces! It was pretty funny because her friend came out first in a sweet little ivory dress with an ivory boquet of flowers, then Ava comes running out like this, in every piece she could put on...

That's my girl!
