Such a Cutie!

This morning Ava put her "poppy" up in her big comfy chair and climbed up to read.  She pretty much knows how the story goes so she recites it the best she can.  I didn’t catch it on video but here are the pictures. 

 

And here’s a picture of Daddy and Ava being Ninjas!

Sneak Peak

One day, while shopping at Costco, Ava noticed all the costumes.  She really wanted to hold one so I let her pick one out.  She first picked out a Giraffe.  She walked around to the other side and saw more costumes.  There she spotted a Tiger but insisted it was a lion.  She tossed the giraffe aside and clung to the "lion" (tiger).  She held him all through the store and continued to hold him and sleep with him for the next three days.  Scott and I asked if we can put the lion on her but she said "NO!"  Finally we told her that she would get to see how she looked in the mirror and she agreed to put it on.  Here are some photos of her.  I took these pictures just in case this was the only time she would ever wear it!  Hopefully she’ll wear it on Halloween. 

Surprise!

Crystal said she had a surprise for us at her house when we all met for dinner on Friday night.. it was Barry!  He flew in that day and stayed the weekend.  It was great to see him… the last time we saw him was in January.   Here are some pics from dinner.

Daddy, Bosco, Ava, and Mommy’s Mom ~ Of course Ava loved the doggies!  If you’re wondering why there is a stocking in the background, it’s because we drew names for Christmas that night.

so cute!
