Wild Seeds Farms and more

Well today we decided to adventure out on a field trip to Fredricksburg, Tx. We Went to Wild seeds Farms. It was absolutely beautiful! Ava loved it we went with her friend Grayson and as you can see I think they have their first crush's on eachother!! We will definatley be checking this place out again when daddy comes home it was a lot of fun!

Park City, Utah!

While Ray was home we decided to go on a vaction with our long lost friends Ryan and Sarah. Aunt Sarah and Uncle Ryan that is! Well Ava isn't too sure about Uncle Ryan but I think she is starting to warm up! It was amazing and beautiful along with FREEZING, however I do feel i could live in cold weather now! Ava had her first ever sushi experience and we had an amazing time with old friends.

Ava and I went tubing for the first time ever and had a blast. I think Ava loves the snow more than the hot weather.. Ill have to make that decision after our next beach vacation! Utah has some funny drinking laws but leave it to smash and sarah to figure out how to get around them!

Avas Birthday, Christmas, and Daddy home!

Ok, so I know its been WAY to long and I keep saying im going to update this more often.... so Im really going to try!

Ava had her birthday party when her dad had only been home 2 days it was a little crazy but SO fun and SO cute thanks to everyone who came! Minnie Mouse made an apperance and Ava didn't like her at first but warmed up and was dancing like the disco after a few mintues!

Christmas was Amazing and Ava has more toys than we know what to do with! Her favorite was her kitchen and her baby doll stroller, highchair, and bed. She had so many toys we had to put some of them up in the closet so we can take them out as the year goes on and she gets bored! I guess after this year we might not be able to pull that little trick anymore! Here are some pictures!

NO NO NO not ho ho ho!

Today we took Ava to see santa hoping for a better reaction than last year. Well it was horrible she hated him even more and was TERRIFIED of the red bearded man! Maybe next year.... We have put up our Christmas tree and are waiting for Daddy to get home so we can have an amazing 2nd birthday party and Christmas! Done with all the shopping! We are upset because Ava is sick and we will be missing thanksgiving to stay home so no one else gets sick! Ava is growing up so fast it makes me cry I want her to stay the age she is because she is hillarious and saying new words every day! The things she undunderstands amazes me every day! Last weekend we also got a chance to meet up with good friends in Greune to eat and play! Katherine and Nava from Savannah moved to Austin and we are looking forward to many more playdates! Here are a few pics of her from santa, Greune, and from around the house!

Ava is getting to be such a big girl. Today she started her first day of Mothers Day Out and she didn't cry one tear when i left! She enjoys chapel bc she likes to sing and she enjoys learning shapes and colors and playing with the wood kitchen that they have in her classroom! She is only going one day a week as of now but so far she loves it! Here is a pictures of her first day at school!

Ava has also learned her name which is hillarious to ask her "who is this" and point to her because she says it like ava (sounds like vowels) haha! Cute!

Todder uh ooo's!

A lot of things have been going on around this household!! We have decided to put the house up for sale (but not of course until we fix a few things here and there)! Oct. 1st is the hopeful date! Trying to get things fixed with Ava running around and Anthony gone is well.. very complicated!

   Ava has turned into a little monster throwing tempur tantrums over not getting "ice" (ice cream) and she is very OCD with only eating it if  Iput it in a bowl not out of the container!!! haha! Yesterday Ava decided to throw the portable house phone and it shattered into a million pieces~! Ava loves to eat so she likes to snack on fruit loops(without milk) she was eating them while walking around the house and playing in the play room when she dropped them they went EVERYWHERE and then she says "uh oooooo" hearing this is never a good thing.. she then walks into the living room and says "uh oooo momma" and comes over and says "hug"?? So I know this cannot be good..  good thing we have dogs to help clean up the mess!!!  This age is super cute but also super funny I pretty much laugh histerically at her at least once a day but I do love the "free" hugs and kisses I get when something goes her way or she is sorry!

Long time no blog!

  So I know I have been horrible about keeping up with this but i am going to keep up with it at least once a month!!! Ray has been home the month of July and we have gotten to do lots of things with Ava! 

  Ava's new favorite thing is playing dress up with mommies shoes and purses and jewelry!

Here are a couple pics! More of his trip home to come this month!!
