Ava had her dedication at the church in May and we are just getting the pictures up, so that is why she looks a bit younger in these photos. I have to say, I really do think she was the prettiest baby there!
Her Daddy was so proud of her!
Our Family
My Mom took this shot of the screen up above us. I didn't even know there was one above our heads until I saw the pictures!Ava's Uncle Chris and Aunt Keri came in from Indianapolis with her 4 cousins. Together with her big sis and her Uncle Tracy and Aunt Kimi and her other 4 cousins from Conway and her MeeMaw and Papa this week was fun-filled!! They took the kids to Willow Spings water park and to eat at many restaurants (table for 18?), a Travelers Game at the new Ballpark and much more! Here are some of the pictures from the week. MeeMaw and Papa will have MANY more!
Ava with her Aunt Keri at the baseball game.
Here are 9 of the 10 Grandkids at MeeMaws house. We are missing Bryce, who is 2. How cute are these kids?!?!
Ava's new favorite place to sit! She has quite the grip on Daddy's rapidly greying hair!
Ava and Kinley swimming at Willow Springs! We had just put Ava in the water and she LOVED it!
Here are the boys and Kinley playing tetherball. Brad put sunscreen on the kids and then went to play tetherball with them. With one child on his head and another holding his arm, he hit the ball openhanded and proceeded to lose his wedding band! We searched the sand for 2 hours and Papa even went home to get a magnet to try to find it (his ring is tungsten steel), but no luck!
Another view of the park.
God bless her heart!Brad and I had last week off together and spent a lot of time working on the landscaping. Ava sat on her blanket out front and entertained for as long as she could in the heat.
She wants to stand up so badly!
Ava's first trip to the zoo and the thing she was the most excited about were the coyfish swimming in the duck pond. They were frenzied when you fed them and she was almost close enough to touch them. That must have made the difference. Most of the other animals were far away and didn't move much!
I had to go in for a case early one Saturday morning and Brad was away on a golf trip, so I had to take the girls with me. We stayed up late the night before and got up early to get everyone ready to go.....these are pictures of the ride home.....at 0930am! Wimps.
Kinley, fresh from work, in one of my scrubcaps. You can't see her booties. She was precious!
Watermelon Face!
The party winding down after most of the guests had gone. It was a very nice day! We really enjoyed having everyone over!
This is actually harder than it looks!
Please Mommy, can I stay in a little longer?
Always thinking...
She will probably kill me one day for this, but I couldn't resist.
