MSU at Vandy

We went to Nashville this past weekend to see the bulldogs. This is the fountain outside our hotel...Ava loved it. She got to hang out with her Ma and Aunt Kathy while we went to the game.

Ava is showing her spirit at the pregame pep rally.

Bulldogs took over the Vandy bounce...foreshadowing of things to come.

Two at Last

2 weeks after her birthday party, she finally turned 2 on September 17. The three of us (plus Ellie and Emma) enjoyed cupcakes and present opening at home. She did get to go to Chuck E Cheese for lunch and games.

Birthday Party (and MSU)

Ava doesn't actually turn 2 until September 17th, but we had her birthday party on Saturday at the Mississippi State game since everyone was together. She had a blast and was much neater with the cake eating this year!

cupcakes.....yummmm!

Her new aunt (sort of) Betsy got her this cute MSU doll.

Her real great Aunt Deborah gave her this.

Ava was so excited to have her friend Autumn with her. Here they are playing with the must have of the day...balloons. (thanks to Gigi)

Wedding Day!

The happy couple leaving the reception and heading off to the fishing shack down by the lake at Old Waverly. Only at Old Waverly would you leave in a golf cart.

A little mother-daughter time prior to the ceremony.

The matron of honor and the flower girl.

Ava had the best time dancing at the reception. Here she is dancing with the bride...
dancing (and kissing) her new friend Elizabeth...

and just plain dancing!

Rehearsal

Tracy got married August 29th. Ava was the honorary flower girl (no official duties). Here she is with the bride at the rehearsal.

This is my mom's family...meme, pawpaw, and her brother, Carr.

The bride and her bridesmaids. We had such a good time. Afterward we enjoyed dinner at Old Waverly.
