Daddy is Home June '10

Daddy came home for the month of June and we had a lot of adventures! Ray and Ava went to Austin for a night while my mom and i were on a Mothers Day cruise! We also decided to visit the Wildlife of Natural Bride Caverns Safari! Ava was a little scared of the goats and the animals sticking their head in our car!! It was a blast!

Mother's Day

I dont know why we don't ever think to do a Mother's Day Breakfast or Lunch the weekend before knowning everywhere is going to be packed on the actual day! However we didnt! We ended up trying to go to the Gunther House and well 3 hr wait... so we decided to head a few blocks over to Mad Hatter's Tea House yet again.. I guess the fishbowl mimmosa's were convincing enough.. Here are a few pictures we had a great time just wish daddy would have been home! Not the greatest of pictures but you get the idea!

Race for the Cure

Now that we have been back in SA for 2 years and keeping up with our tradition of the Race for the cure we decided to add something more! Mad Hatters Tea House after the race! So much fun with there fishbowl mimosa's! This year was even more fun because we had a few friends join us!!!

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!
