Happy Mother's Day!

Ava loves her new ride! Here is Jacobe wearing the Mother's Day gift he bought for me (but was really a gift for himself). I hope he doesn't mind the handheld vacuum I am going to get him for Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Jacobe! Today we spent the day at the ballpark. Ava was decked out in her new Giant's hat and t-shirt! She LOVED her hat and wore it with pride (although the Giant's lost again)! Enjoying the views from the upper deck as we were leaving...
Ava running the bases after the game! Go Ava!!

We're so proud of our little Ava!

Another day in Capitola... Another pair of Sunglasses.

She really does wear each and every pair she owns! Walking with Daddy on the Capitola Pier. Ava had just got a new pair of shoes and was really into looking at them while she walked.

Just Another Day at Toys R Us

On our latest adventure to Toys R Us we found the "pink car". Ava loved it! She would point to different things in the store and I would help drive her over to see them. The best part was Ava actually thought she was driving! This entertainment lasted for at least 20 minutes before we decided it was time to go. We didn't buy the "pink car" but we did get the Leap Start Musical Table! It was an early birthday gift to Ava. P.S. I swear I do not walk around with a camera in my purse. This picture was taken with my cell phone.

Bath Time!

Ava loves bathing in the sink with her favorite bath toy (the floating frog)!

My Friend

I love my friend Ellery..... Even if she tackles me!

Swim Lessons

Some of my best childhood memories are from swim team so when I heard about the Parent & Baby swim class I jumped at the opportunity to get Ava in the pool! Ava LOVES swimming and is a natural! She reaches for floating toys, comes up smiling after going under water and cries when it is time to get out!

Just Chill'n

Ava's 1st store temper tantrum was with Grandma Betty over the sunglasses she now owns. Ava loves her sunglasses so much that she smiles every time I show them to her. She wears her sunglasses in the car, in the house, on walks, to the beach, gardening, while jumping on the deck. She would wear them 24/7 if I let her!

Ava's 1st Easter

Day at the Park

Today we took Ava to the park to feed the birds. Little did I know how fast word would get out that we had food! Pigeons, seagulls, ducks, Oh my!! Ava was in awe with what she saw. I was just praying I wouldn't get pooped on!

Ava LOVES swinging!
