Photo Crazy Mommy

After realizing that I didn't take many pictures in January and February, I went a little crazy this week and took a ton. No big stories to share - everything is moving along happily. Ava's been getting better at standing on her own for a few seconds...before we know it, she'll be walking.

Oh! I did buy her a swimsuit (brown with colored polka dots) and a cute little blue terry cloth cover up to go with it. She and Isabel will have so much fun this summer at the pool - Tiffany and I are going to sign them up for swimming lessons. I can't wait for warmer weather!

My parents' friends bought her this camo outfit from Cabela's - complete with white lace!

We took Grandpa Bruce out for his birthday on Sunday night - Ava got lots of attention from the waitress.

Scott thought it would be nice to give Ava bunny ears.

After many failed attempts at getting a pic of Ava and me, this was the best we could do. I think she was done with the camera at this point.

Notice that we both have one squinty eye - looks like she could be my daughter after all!

Then she decided to attack Darla. I can't say it enough...that dog is SO patient!

Givin' her pooch a smooch!

Double-fisting it in the tub...

This is the big caterpillar she got for Christmas. It usually stays under her crib, but she gets so excited when we pull it out. Here she's reigning it in like it's a horse.

She decided it would be fun to stand up and chew on the chair...

After she pulled all of the books off of her bookshelf, she got very interested in a feather that was in a book. I'm going to try my best to have her love books as much as I do!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

These are such cute photos! You can take too many- that's my motto! Love the squinty eye, and the one of Darla with that "OMG- what is happening to me!" look. They will be walking soon... and then we will be chasing after them like Tiffany was back in Sept w/ Isabelle!

Exploring Local Places

Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit. This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage. Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough. I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together. They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so! We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge. I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm. And of course, Ava wa...

Preparing for Vacation

We had a low key week, which is rare in this house. Oh sure, there were fun field trips at Summer Power, a visit to the splash pad on a hot day, and a few crazy, rain storms, but it was an easy week. Well, there was that one time when we were out for dinner with G (Ava was with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Doug for an overnight stay and a trip to the Dakota County Fair - fun!) and G decided to hide behind my chair and puke all over me and the floor (at the restaurant.) Ugh. The good news is that he was just too full of chocolate milk...no illness! A quiet week, once in a while, is an okay thing! We're starting to prep for our vacation to the Wisconsin Dells...we don't take too many family vacations, so this is a big event for us. (Funny, I took a break from writing this post as Scott just asked me about planning a trip to Disney...we were debating the differences between going to California vs. Florida...pros and cons to each!) Yesterday, I showed G a video from one of the wat...

Go, Go, Goers!
