August 2013

Always and forever playing catch up!  I was hoping for a quiet month... but I'm afraid there's no such thing around here!  Excuse the long posts!  If I would just blog as events happen, I could avoid this!  :)

The dreaded day arrived... Ava starts Kindergarten!  I'm happy for her to have a new adventure but SO sad to lose my buddy!





 She was extremely hungry when she got home!


 This is so blurry, but I love how Ava is watching Chris put his tie on!  So cute!


 She is growing beautifully!  Everything continues to go well!


 This sweet girl turns 10!!!  Holy cow, 2 girls in double digits now!  Mya is such a wonderful girl with a personality to light up any room!  She is SO loved by everyone and people just naturally gravitate towards her because of the fun person she is!  She is so caring and sensitive to others feelings.  She is a great student at school.  Can't imagine life without this little spitfire, loving, girly!!!
 

 Another fun birthday party at Classic Waterslides!  Mya is so social and loves her friends!  Such a cute group of girls!


 Ava loves to play in her room - like for an hour, she'll just self entertain and pretend.  She was teaching school this day... these are her students in the picture :)!



 The belly is really starting to show!


 What would a Saturday be without some Volleyball???  Liberty Park this week.  The other girls really appreciated this little carnival they set up behind the courts.  It kept them entertained the whole time... until Ava's finger got jammed.  Saddest thing ever, to see her in so much pain!  And, just when she thought she could brave the playing again, she jammed THE SAME finger for a second time!  The amount of tears was heartbreaking!!!  We thought for sure it was broken but lucky us, it wasn't.  It healed up nicely over the next few days.  Poor thing!



 Ava can swim!!!  Hooray!  She is a little fish.  



 Another dreaded milestone for this Mom who DOES NOT want this sweetie to grow up!  First lost tooth!  Boy was she excited though!


 We decided to take the girls up to Silver Fork Lake to walk around.  They had a great time!  Love these precious souls we get to call ours!!!

 I had to put this one in.... The amount of laughing when they saw this picture on the computer was amazing!  Bella's expression, Mya's head tilt and grin, and Ava's mad face!  Such a classic!
Hey girls, you can STOP growing up anytime!!  Love, your Mom.


Look Mom, I found this cute headband!  It has polk a dots, just like my shirt!


 Crazy storm coming but sun shining through just so.


 After MONTHS of talking about it, Chris finally purchased a car!  He sold his truck forever ago and has been car-less for some time... Thanks to his commute on Trax to work, it hasn't been that bad.  We ran into some issues on the weekends of needing 2 cars but overall was fine with 1.  This black beauty will be around for a long time!


 Chris and Bella decide to enter another vball tourney together.  Fun times!  
 This is how Ava entertained herself this time... taking pictures of her toys on my phone.
And, this is how she felt after another long, hot, day of volleyball!  Totally wiped out!  We love it though!  Really, can't get enough!
