I failed to take a picture today... oh well, there is always tomorrow!

June 29, 2011

Tuesday we went on a playdate at the park with friends. We had a great time playing! Our group picture was a failure! Maybe next time...

We had one of our busiest days of the summer so far. Ava had swim lessons at 8:30, then we had an archeology dig at the library at 10:00, then it was on to the zoo! Ava got to feed the giraffes... busy, busy day. I'm ready for some lazy summer days... Maybe next week?

June 27, 2011

Here is yesterday's picture... How I found her yesterday morning...

Today was a wash-out... everything we were supposed to do was rained out! No swim lessons and no archeology dig at the library! Bummer... Ava was pretty excited to show off her new jammies... I believe this is the first pair of jammies I have ever bought her. She was pretty excited about wearing them, although she wouldn't turn around for anything!

Well, I can't find my camera cord tonight... so I'll tell you about my picture and post it tomorrow if I find my cord!

Ava woke me up at 1 am because she was scared of the storm. I took her back to bed and laid with her for a while and then got up and came back to my bed. A little bit later I thought I heard a few noises but then it was quiet, so I thought nothing more of it and went back to sleep. When I woke up this morning, I found out what the noises were! Ava had snuck back into our room and fell asleep on the floor beside our bed! She knew that if she woke me up I'd put her back to bed... silly girl...

Tonight is the a firework show across the street from our house... I'm really hoping Ava does not wake up with all the noises - she needs a good night sleep! Swim lessons and a library activity time tomorrow!!

June 24 and 25, 2011

A cute True picture from yesterday... he has started giving kisses recently. He says, "mmmah" and leans toward you... sometimes you get lucky and get an open mouth slobber kiss!

I got to meet Renee's new baby Eli today. He has the chubbiest cheeks and is quite the snuggler.. He fell asleep on my shoulder, how sweet!

June 24, 2011

What a beautiful day! We took advantage of it by going to the park and having a picnic with Aunt Pamela, Eden, and Adi. Here is Ava encouraging Adi... sometimes she can be sweet.

The restrooms are a long jaunt from the playground, so it took us a while to walk there and back with short legs...

I think he may be the cutest 1 year old little boy ever!

Another reason it took so long... we had to stop and play hopscotch, shapes, and letters on the way back.

My day continues tonight, meeting up with some of my college girls on the northside of Indy... a little nervous about the traffic (I'll be driving in rush hour... ugh...). Another week of summer slips away. It needs to slow down!

This is a picture of a little girl who chose to "sit in time-out than I will put away my breakfast dishes." Oh, how I love her!

June 22, 2011

It was a busy day... I worked out while Ava and True played with Eden and Adi (and Grandma), then we went to McD's for a lunch date with friends. The kiddos took shorter naps than I had hoped for, so we had pool time.

Seriously... True loves this car...

He is wet compliments of Ava... she is such a sweetie that way. She offered to get me completely wet if I wanted, "do you want me to get you wet? yes or no? if you want me to get you wet, I will."

June 21, 2011

We had a pretty uneventful day... Ava was a sweetie shared her snack with True-baby... what a sweetie!

June 20, 2011

Happy Father's Day!!

True getting a little extra lovin' before his daddy leaves for the week!

Happy Father's Day to my dad... I couldn't ask for a better one, love you, Dad!

June 19, 2011

Yum! Ava was SO excited to get ice cream at Cheesecake Factory. Cheesecake Factory might also be to blame for True-baby still awake at 10:30!

June 17, 2011

They played together (or with the same toy) for a few minutes today. I'm hoping they learn how to play together some this summer...

I got a pedicure today (thanks Mom!). I got a pink french manicure! Woohoo! (Amy, I missed you... if we make it to Springfield, we will have to get our toes done!!)

A few last pictures from vacation... Classic Adi!

Trying to get four kids to look at the camera and smile all at the same time is painful!

Poor True baby was buried by his aunt and uncle... he was in hysterics and needed his mommy to calm him down. Poor little guy!

On to summer! This is what we do in the summer: eat! This afternoon we had our snack outside since it was so nice. True baby sat in this little car (with his gold necklace on, nice) and ate cinnamon graham crackers. It makes me laugh that he is so content to sit in his car and just watch the world go by.

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jim stopped by with Dilly Bars! Yum! Ava and True had ice cream everywhere. Ahhhh... how I love summer!

More vacation recap! I think the kid's favorite thing to do on the beach is eat snacks. It never fails... they are a sucker for cheerios and cheez-its on the beach! You can also see Ava in her "gobbles" in this picture.. She was ecstatic about having "gobbles" like Eden and Adi.

True's main source of nutrition this week was Cheerio's and sand! Ha! He tried it several times the first day and then finally figured out it didn't taste so good!

This is the "ocean" water of Tybee Island. The kids called it chocolate milk with good reason. We finally drove to the other side of the Tybee and found the real ocean - it was much better. However, we saw dolphins everyday outside our condo, so that was pretty cool!

We went putt putt golf one night... True and Ava not so interested in putt putt yet! But I thought he looked pretty cute with his little golf club.

This is a picture of Ava after she got done eating her ice cream cone at Leopold's. This is the first and last time I will let her get a cone for at least 5 years. She had ice cream everywhere! But she did enjoy it. We enjoyed this place; we went there twice!

We're back from vacation! My computer is still downloading pictures, so here are just a few from our first traveling day. We drove to Asheville, NC the first day. Brad chose this place to eat - we thought it was okay, I think Brad was the only one who really liked it!

After eating, we went downtown Asheville to get some ice cream and walk around a bit. Ava and Adi posed in front of this fountain. Aren't they cute little girls!?

Asheville is a different type of city - this was one of the bizarre things we saw. I originally thought this was a statue when we drove by. When we had parked and were walking around, we realized it was a lady all in silver. She would stand completely still for a few minutes, then she would start drumming. Then she would go back to being still. It was odd...

More about our vacation tomorrow!

No picture today.. trying to get everything ready for vacation! I'll post pictures if I can.. otherwise, until next week!

We spent the morning outside playing in the water... wore True baby out.. poor boy slept 4 hours and woke up with a 102.5 temp! We gave him some tylenol and his temperature went down and he acted a bit more normal.. he has had a few nasty diapers.. maybe there are more teeth in store?
