The terrible twos have officially passed - we now have a three year old! I've been looking at her baby pictures lately, and have a hard time believing that she's not my little baby anymore. Every once in a while, I stop and really look at her - and I can see the little person she's growing into. I'm happy - but sad at the same time. There are times I would love nothing more than to have her be more independent, but...then I want to cuddle with her and never let her go. I have a feeling I'm in for some pretty emotional years ahead!
This is a pic that we took for Scott's Father's Day present - man, who knew it'd be so hard to have a little kid keep a sign facing the right way, and a somewhat decent smile on the face!?
On one of our non-gray/dreary days, Ava was helping to water the flowers in the backyard. She was trying so hard to fill it up with the little sprinkler...at that rate, it would have taken her all night!
After Chuck E Cheese (and a small intermission), the Winfields came over, and the two little princesses commenced their playtime. They also watched The Little Mermaid and Tangled, while Tiff and I had a chance to catch up.
My not-so-favorite moment of the night was when Ava came running at me full-force and hit my glass of red wine...which got all over the couch, and my khaki shorts. All I'm going to say is...thank goodness for Scotchguarding furniture, and Kids N Pets for clothes! No stains!
The next day (Sunday) we had family over to celebrate and open all of those gifts! She received some wonderful presents that she is going to have so much fun with...especially if the sun ever comes back to Minnesota...
Every one needs to know how to mow the lawn while wearing Cinderella heels...
Spanky also wanted to eat the lawnmower...
Playing t-ball...we need to work on that eye-hand coordination!
She eventually decided to attack the balloon...
Who doesn't want a little spit with the cupcakes?
She didn't really want to participate in tumbling last week...I think they were waiting for Ava to do something here. Not really sure why everyone was looking at her.

For her birthday, we went to Chuck E Cheese with the Winfields...the girls had a great time running around, playing with all of the games, and being kids! Actually, Scott and I had fun playing all of the games, too, so really, we all had a good time!

Getting ready for the Kaposia Days parade this week...so much candy, and lots of new floats! The weather held out, and we actually had a really nice night!
Hoping for some sunshine this week so we can burn off all of that excess energy!
