So here is my little (not so little anymore) H-man...he said he wanted to get some sun...heehee...he's so cute. He of course LOVES the water whether its the beach or pool. He's my little fish.
This was Ava's second time at the YMCA pool. She gets so excited when we go and loves to splash in the water. Her hair is a bit messy and you may even see sunblock on her face. She was getting tired and was ready for a nap.



Here is Ava in her Kate Mack tutu bathing suit...I LOVE this suit!! We will definately get it again for next summer. This pic was taken on July 4th. Unfortunately when we got to my aunts house it was time to eat so Ava didn't get to go down to the beach in her bathing suit. We went down later that evening and she wasn't too excited about the sand and waves. She did however LOVE the fireworks!! She watched them in awe and clapped the entire time. I'm waiting on a friend to send pics from the night of her clapping. It is too cute!
Yeah! I've added some pictures!!! I feel like I accomplished so much. Well I'm gonna end with a funny story from yesterday. My sister, Hunter, Ava and I went to the Y to go swimming. Bryan came and met us a bit later. We all got in the pool and Bryan took Ava to play with her. A group of girls (probably age 4) swam by and said that Ava was cute. A few minutes later these same girls came over again but this time they wanted to talk and "play" with Ava. So Bryan, being the character he is, says to the little girls that he just found this baby on the other side of the pool and was trying to think of a good name for her. He asked them what they thought of the name "Bruce". Of course the girls laughed and said that Bruce is a boys name and that the baby was a girl. So then he asked "How bout Ava". They of course thought that was a much better name. Well the girls swam off but not for too long. In the mean time, a little boy (probably age 3) swam REALLY CLOSE next to Bryan and looked at him with this smile on his face. He continued on and we thought that would be the last of him. Soon after that funny encounter the girls were back in full force. This time Bryan offered to sell "Bruce" (Ava) for $5 if they wanted her. Of course they did so they took off to ask their parents for $5. I was starting to worry that the police might come either b/c Bryan was trying to sell a baby or that the parents were starting to think Bryan was a Chester (if ya know what I mean)...ha ha well of course we didn't sell Ava. Before we got out of the pool though Bryan's son...I mean the little boy that looked at Bryan in such a loving way came back but this time he swam up to Bryan and decided to kind of hug and hang on him. We had know clue who this kid belonged to or where he came from but obviously he had some attraction to Bryan...maybe Bryan looked like his dad...so that's the story...it was pretty funny to those of us who were there...don't worry we did figure out who the boy belonged to and Bryan made sure we didn't bring home an extra mouth for us to feed. Well its getting late...I need to go to bed early...can't sleep in tomorrow b/c I have to be up to "babysit" my parents dogs and take Hunter to summer camp. Good Night!!!

I told you so...

Didn't I tell you that I wouldn't be good at this??? I was right! It's been so long that I almost forgot how to blog. Well Ava started crawling today!!! I'm excited for this milestone but at the same time I'm thinking "Oh no!!" Now I need to cover the fireplace, get two baby gates, cover outlets, put away cords and any other potentially dangerous objects. Oh and we need to do something about the entertainment center...I don't think her daddy will be all to happy if something happens to his PS3 or other "toys".
We're getting ready to head down to the beach for fun, family, food, and fireworks. This will be Ava's first time at the beach and I'm hoping she'll be a beach bum like her mom, Grammy, Aunt Annie, and Aunt Les...I should of just said "like her family" instead of trying to name everyone. I'm sure she will be :)
Not only am I horrible at keeping up with this but I'm EVEN worse at putting pictures up. So I'm not making any promises but I'm going to try my hardest to put some up from today. I promised Ava's Granny that I'd take pics of her in her 4th of July outfit so maybe that will give me some more motivation to put pics up.
Well as soon as I can get off my butt, put my bathing suit on, wait for Bryan to get ready and load the car we will be off to the beach. Sand, water, crabs HERE WE COME!!!!
