Congratulations Daddy

Nick had his commencement this weekend, graduation from the University of Phoenix. Ava was a very good sport throughout the long ceremony on a very hot day (even with all of her mosquito bites), and at the end she finally got to pull on the strings hanging from Daddy's hat.

WELCOME HOME!

Ava could not get enough of her Dad when he came home from working out of town this weekend. She brought him any toy she could find, sat in his lap and kept climbing on his back and hugging him. It was priceless! Needless to say, she misses him as much as I do when he's gone!

So much fun...

Fresh out of the bath, playing on her slide!

Ava and TrentonCream cheese is YUMMY!!!
Ava has been a bundle of laughs lately, from enjoying her slide to trying yummy new foods. She is the best!

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day with Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Scott, Todd, Tootie and Alyssa. It was a lot of fun! The girls had fun keeping us entertained, I think!

Ponies/Piggies

I don't know what to call them, but I was excited to find out that her hair is long enough to do it!

Hunk-A-Monk Jr.

Hunk-A-Monk was my nick-name as a young girl...possibly about Ava's age, I am guessing. I think she may have inherited the climbing gene, what do you think? I promise we are getting rid of the coffee table and I have ordered her a "climber" toy so she can safely climb as much as she wants!!

Toys

Ava discovered the "chuck it" ball throwing toy for Bode and has claimed it as her own. She walks around with it like it is her walking stick! I also brought up the glider we borrowed from Brad and Amanda and she thought it was a great climbing toy...babygirl Braman is going to have to watch out when Ava sees her in there! Finally, she can climb into and onto anything lately; the baskets we have around the house are no longer organized! She does it all on her own...our little climber!!!
