This is a pretty crummy picture... but it happened quick, and there are no retakes for this situation! Ava and True both wanted to rock in the rocking chair... so Ava suggested that True sit on her lap. To bad he is about the same size as her! Check out that True tum-tum!

Oh Ava, you are the silliest girl in the world! Good news! She made it through a whole day without an accident! Yippee! Sad that is still something to celebrate after 5 months of potty training... but geesh. This is one frustrating girl...

To celebrate, she got some smarties at the library tonight. We decided it was a potty training treat. She was pretty proud of herself. Let's hope it sticks for tomorrow!

True-baby and I hung out for a while tonight while Ava went with BJ to a church thing. He had so much fun being big man on campus. As I am typing this he is laughing as he tries to climb up his stack of pillows on the couch... He laughs as he falls off.. so funny.

Thought he'd take a little sip of water... to bad the hose was turned off!

Filling up the watering can...

We ventured downtown tonight (in the midst of Colts fans) and ate at The Spaghetti Factory. Both Ava and True liked it, especially since we got to sit in the trolley car. Then we stopped by the Gap and found this jacket for True-baby... Isn't it cute? It was the only one left on the sale rack and it was an extra 25% off! Yay for great deals! Amy Miller - the thought of you saying how uppity this was went through my head. Ha!

True baby is learning the ways of a fork (and he rocks out a pink bib).

We had Brad, Pamela, and the kiddos over for fajitas tonight. They played together outside for a while... look at this teamwork! They had the swing set rocking!

Adi-Mae likes her fajitas like this... just the tortilla.. way to go Adi.

We got some much needed rain this evening as I was trying to take my picture of the day... I had to use the flash because it was too dark for natural light. I don't know how Emily does it - but I need lessons on how to make flash pictures look better! They seem so dark... Anyways, we put on the music and Ava was dancing around (in her cheerleading outfit, of course). True likes to dance as well. He just kind of bounces or high steps it. So cute. Then he tackled Ava. Awesome.

We went to Eden's 7 year old birthday party tonight. It started raining about 15-20 minutes after we got there... the kids just kept on playing... It was nice to get some rain.. our grass is brown!

Uncle Mick got True started on the scooter and he was hooked! He really wants to be like all the big kids...

I had this poor quality picture to post yesterday but my computer crapped out on me. I think it is dying a very slow, painful death. It refused to do anything, it just thought for 15 minutes until I closed it up. I think a new computer is in the near future. Anyways, True has figured out how to climb as evidenced from this chair. Scary.

Tonight was small group and True and Lily shared some Cheerios. True was not sure about sharing his Cheerios and tried to push Lily away from them. Think he learned that from his sister? I think so!

Ava's favorite thing to do right now is dress-up! She got this cheerleading costume from Reagan and Molly, and she loves to dress up in it! She even took the bloomers from her tutu to wear under it..

This is one of the best things in the world. I got home from buda khi tonight and got a big hug from my True bug. He was looking out the door and got a big grin when he saw me pull up in the car. Always makes mommy feel good :)

Seriously... I have cool kids. Check out that headband.. I'm pretty sure that is circa 1980.

So cool

Apple season has started. Ava is a fan.

Today was the first day of school!! Good grief.. can't believe it is time to do it all over again. The good news is I think I have a pretty good class to work with! True scrounged through my purse and found my whistle.

He tried whistling.. I love my whistle full of baby slobber!

True baby was given a new drum set today. A week or two ago we went to a musical instrument program at the library. True REALLY enjoyed the drum (I had to pry his little hands off the drumsticks so someone else could have a turn!). So now he has his own! It was funny when he saw it, he has resorted to grunting to show how he feels, what he wants, etc. So this was a "what have we here" grunt.

Nothing like a little baseball in the summer.... unless you are 3 and you have never played baseball before...

True wants to play, too!

I'm back! Found my camera cord.. so here is my update.. I'm not sure why this picture is flipped.. it looked right in iphoto.. oh well.. turn your head... I was so impressed by Ava. She told me that she was going to make a "patterin." She came up with this on her own.. She is going to take preschool by storm.

Who can resist a cutie in a basket? He climbed in and then would get angry and want out. As soon as I got him out, he climbed right back in. So cute.

Love that shaggy little boy. I think he is going to get a haircut this week. How sad!

Just another kindergarten project. Meet Mrs. Munch

and Mr. Munch.. they can't wait to munch some words! I can't believe school starts next week!! Summer is over.
