Mother's Day and recent pictures...

Katie is very smart to get on Ava's head...she is not always so kind to her!
Austin
Dylan
Grumpy looking bunch in this shot! LOL...Aunt Kim, Uncle Rob, cousins Diane and Danny, Grandma and Sarah
Blowing out Birthday Candles with Sarah

Riding around on her Dora tricycle
Taking a break with Aunt Kim
Ava absolutely loves her cousins Dylan and Austin
I try to get a good shot and my little monkey sticks her tongue out!
I try to forget she is sitting in my garden and focus on her cuteness!
All of these totally posed shots were all Ava! She hates the camera unless I say to model and then she does this. I have never taught this to her...who knows where she got it from!



I love this one!
It is finally looking like spring in our yard!
Uncle Rob, Aunt Kim and cousin Danny

My new desktop photo, too cute...
Gran, Aunt Melissa and Aunt Amy
Pop-pop, Eric and Uncle Ed
Trying to pretend that it wasn't cold out!

She did not want her picture taken and right after she reached in her water bucket and smeared it on my leg!
Grandma taking care of the cleaning--thanks mom!

Ava got a new bed and I need to take down her crib but it makes me so sad!
I made her take pictures in it before I disassemble it
Ava took this picture of me taking a picture of her...pretty impressive for a two year old
Another shot for Ava to be mortified by...I came in and she emptied the entire roll of paper and then said there was not any more left!

I went shopping and when I came back Ava was all done up! Yikes...reminds me of those scary pageant tikes!
and then the princess fell asleep
This is Katie who is so needy she always wants to be with us...she was hanging out in the window so she could see us on the deck

This is not a great picture but look how old she appears...
Ava insisted on wearing my pjs...
of course she kept losing her pants!

Ava potato head!
This is the most I have blogged in a long time! Mother's day was nice although a bit cold. I was happy to finally be able to have people sit around our chiminea though. We had a good day and Ava had a blast with her cousins. She likes when we have "parties". She did not take a nap and fell asleep around 5:45. I thought she would be up all night but she slept until this morning. Poor little monkey was all worn out.

So we are taking down Ava's crib and putting in a twin size bed...sad. I do not like the idea that she is getting so old! I know I have to do it though so she can sleep better.

School is almost over! I cannot wait to stay home with Ava everyday.
