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!

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

This is a post that I'm not very excited to write. As you probably know, our oldest dog, Spanky, had struggled with health issues (ear infections, seizures) his whole life, and recently, his health had severely deteriorated. He hadn't been eating, his ear infection was so severe his face was swollen, he had a hard time getting up the stairs, and he very rarely wanted to play. Last week we got a few tail wags from him, and he ate a few bowls of food, but it was a 50-50 chance that he would actually keep the food down. On Thursday, we made the decision that if he wasn't any better by this weekend, we were going to put him down. I know Scott didn't want to make that decision as Spanky was a very special dog to him - he truly was his little buddy, following him around everywhere, wanting to be wherever Scott was, and howling his sadness whenever Scott would leave him. Throughout Friday night, it became clear that Spanky wasn't going to have a miraculous recovery...

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

What a whirlwind week we've had...I was trying to get everything wrapped up at work so I could take my 5-day "furlough" from last Wednesday, through tomorrow. Wednesday was my first day at home, so Ava and I had a ton of "fun" getting everything ready for the upcoming activities. I did have a wonderful massage, so that started my vacation off very well... Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug drove in from KC on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great evening catching up, and enjoying the nice weather (until the downpour that happened right as they were leaving our house!) On Thursday, Scott, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Cannon Falls and Rochester to check out the areas for potential future homes/land for us. At some point, we'd like to move south of the Cities. Ava was a very good little girl, especially considering that she was stuck in a car for most of her FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! We went to Applebee's for lunch, and the wait staff came out singing to someone else...I...

We're Baaaaack!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since I've posted anything. But, let's be honest - it's been a busy few weeks. Clearly, I wasn't busy taking photos, as I only have 3 to show on this post. Let's recap what's been going on in the Goers' household: New siding for our house...! This is a project that we've been talking about doing for years, and we finally found someone that had the right product and the right price. Our house is no longer a light peach color, it's Tuscan Clay with white accents. It looks so shiny and fresh! Now, we just need to work on our monster of a garage... I was in Palm Springs for eight, verrrrrry loooooong days. I was staffing a travel program for one of my favorite clients, so at least I liked who I was supporting while there. I hadn't traveled for work since May 2007, and honestly, I don't miss it. I guess everything changes once you have a kid. I missed Ava like crazy, and kept...

Go, Go, Goers!
