Watercolors by Ava

Once we planted our flowers, Ava would take a piece of mulch and use it as her "paintbrush" to paint with water out of the saucer and onto the pot. This lead me to purchase watercolors. Now she is such the budding artist. You can place orders for portraits now...she's booking up fast!

Rain, Rain...Go Away!

This is about all we've been able to do outside lately. Ava went out to make sure the french drains were cleared out in between storms. At least we've avoided tornadoes (so far). Michael's Aunt Betty and Uncle John came by today for lunch. It's always nice to see them. They brought Ava a wooden duck toy from the Peabody. She named it Duckie and has been taking it everywhere. It also likes to eat popcorn!
She is always excited to use her umbrella.

Super Bulldog Weekend

Hanging out eating popcorn with Daddy at Dudy Noble Field
Cheering on the football team at the Maroon White game with Granpa. What a gorgeous day to be on campus. We couldn't have had better weather. Plus...no losers today!

PE Tubes...Take 2

Here is Ava shortly after arriving to the surgery center on Friday waiting to get her second set of ear tubes. She was in good spirits...just upset she couldn't have her morning juice.
Gigi was in charge of the entertainment.
Ava and her "gwubs". That was actually the first thing she asked about when she woke up. "Where's my gwubs?"

Later that afternoon...showing no effects of surgery.
She also helped mommy and Gigi plant spring flowers.

The Kennel

Welcome to the Kennel...Ava's new favorite place to play. This has been a much welcomed addition to the backyard.
Down the slide...and it is really fast...even I enjoy it.




Sunday in the Park

Sunday afternoon we took Ava to the park. She had a blast climbing the rock wall... "I did it!"
Just a swingin'
on the BIG slide.

Easter 2010

Ava was very excited that the Easter Bunny came to see her. I think she was satisfied with her take. After hitting the office very early (I'm sooooo ready for tax season to end), Michael met us at church then we headed to Cracker Barrel for the traditional Easter Brunch. What...nobody else went there?
