Busy day

 Ava and I were just playing this morning when on a whim, I decided to go to a 2nd hand children’s store called "Other Mothers".  I took Ava still in her PJ’s and headed out the door.  They were having a sale!  All clothing was 25 cents.  The only problem was that all the clothes were piled high on tables and you had to dig through them to find the size you want.  Mom’s were going crazy digging for clothes and filling up trash bags.  I thought I didn’t have time for this but I walked up to the only table that didn’t already have women rummaging through it and managed to find some cute things.   Ava was such a dream child.. in the midst of all the chaos, she just found a baby and walked around putting her baby in all the baby toys that were for sale.  I thought for sure she would get plowed over but she stayed out of the way and was very observant of my location at all times. 

 

Here is what I got for only $4.50.. what’s missing is a pair of shoes and two baby dolls (like we needed those).

 

After our early morning shopping, Ava’s friend Sophia came over.  Here are a couple pictures of them.

Ava was still in her jammies.

High five!

Tonight we are going to Crystals house for a family dinner.   

 

 

 

 

 

Zoo Days – October 2008

 

Ava and Sawyer went to Zoo Boise today to see the new African exhibits.  Even though it was pretty cold, both kids were troopers and loved seeing the lions and the giraffes. 

such an awesome picture… too bad the fence is there!

Jess took this one of Ava –  I love it cuz it really captures the essence of Ava!

Date Night

 

Last night Edee and Greg were kind enough to watch Ava for a few hours while Jenn and I had a "date night". But instead of going to a movie or a show, we went for a sunset flight south of Boise. The air was nice and smooth, and we touched down just before sunset to end a great flight.

 

 

 

There’s Kuna a few miles out, and the Owyhee’s in the background:

 

 

There’s "Initial Point", the initial starting point for surveying Idaho in 1867:

 

 

Landed just a few minutes before sunset:

 

 

We were flying low and slow above a farm field in this video:
