Remote Control Car Fun

Note from School

I got a note sent home from school today. It was a Toddler Progress Report and here is what it had to say:

Ava has grown so much and Delia and I have enjoyed being a part of it this year. She is unbelievably caring and plays well with her classmates. We are going to miss her saying, "Oh no!" She loves participating in our art time as well as playing with her friends on the playground. She loves the clean up song and is a real helper. Ava was a delight to have in class!

Mommy & Daddy got a kick out of this since it was pretty spot on!

Tricycle Time!

Daddy has been playing a lot with me outdoors...he creates fun new games for me to play...here we are practicing to be clowns...

And here I am showing that I actually know how to ride a trike!

Sawyer's Birthday

We went to Sawyer's house tonight to celebrate her 3rd birthday--it was a lot of fun...I especially loved playing with the party favors.

Mommy & Daddy thought this was funny...it was like a preschool over there. All 6 of us kids (Sawyer, Lexie, me, Finley, Gray & Beckham) actually all sat around the table to eat our sliders and cake.

Hiccups

Sailors are Cute!

Tumble Class

Me, Ms. Jana and her daughter on the rolly thing...I love this game!

Practicing my swinging on the bar.

Playing around in the tunnel...I walked around for about 15 minutes with the tunnel on my head just laughing...too much fun!

At the Park

At the park with the Tilson kiddos...Lexie & I really enjoyed the swings and I also helped Sawyer go across the bridge...she is a little timid about running across it.

Happy Easter!!

Playing London Bridges with G&P.
Easter Egg hunt outside (loved it so much I made everyone hide eggs at least a dozen times!)...too bad I was no longer in my Easter dress...I made a mess at lunch and had to change!

Dirt Story

Since we went and got dirt (aka mulch) on Friday, I have been relaying the dirt story to anyone and everyone who will listen. Basically I tell them some variation that includes dirt, the tractor that poured the dirt and Daddy's white truck. I was actually scared of the tractor so it is pretty funny that I am obsessed with this story. Here I am telling G-Mommy a little bit about it.

Busy Day

Today was a very eventful day. First, we headed over to the Friend house to see Aunt Donna, Uncle Mike, Ian and Emily. And to play with the twins (Desmond and Aidan) and Ally.

I was very excited to see Ian--I kept talking about him on the ride over.

Ally and Ian really enjoyed the bubble blowers that G&P gave them in their Easter baskets.

Then, after my nap, Mommy & I dyed Easter eggs...it was a mess! We both had dye all over our hands when we were done.

Granny and I played with playdough...

And then I decided to pretend sleep next to Pops who really was SO tired from all the yard work we made him do. Thanks again for all your help!!

Grand March

Granny & Pops danced the Grand March with me this weekend...I love this dance! Can't wait for a Czech wedding to try it out!

Landscaping

G&P were in town this weekend helping M&D do some much needed landscaping. I tried to help out...I ended up just going for a ride in the wheelbarrow.

And watching Daddy & Pops with Granny from the porch. Here is the before photo...

and after!!

And another after...we weren't planning on making this corner look nice but when digging, P&D found some of the huge rocks under ground when digging holes for the plants! Crazy! So they put them to good use along with a bunch of rocks I helped clean out of the backyard.

Random Musings

Here I am talking about random things. In case you don't speak Ava, here are just a few things that I mention in this clip: kitty cats, Smokey, two, Sawyer, Lexie (sexy) , Gabe, duck, water, Owies, Pops and Daddy. A lot of my conversations are like this...Mommy & Daddy think I just like to talk and don't care if it makes sense or not.

Catch!

Dancing...Ava Style

After learning the Grand March this weekend in Conroe (sorry Granny & Pops--no good videos of the awesome time I had), I find myself obsessed with dancing again. It it becoming a nightly occurence the minute Daddy gets home. Here I am jamming to a Pete & the Pirates song...Daddy describes my dancing as "violent"...and it is. Falling down, running in place, hopping, twirling until I get dizzy, I am a CRAZY dancer! But it's fun! Oh and that is my version of air guitar right at the beginning...I'm still learning.

Posing in Conroe

Some cute posed photos we took this weekend while in Conroe...

Playdate with AJ

So we headed to the Woodlands today to meet up with Michelle (or as I call her Shell) & AJ for a reunion playdate. We haven't seen them since October...crazy! Thanks for driving 45 min to play--we had a blast and it was so much fun seeing you guys!!! Made us wish you were back in Austin even more.

AJ & I on the slides.

Me stealing a kiss from AJ (this is Mommy's fave pic from the day; Daddy jokingly called it "inappropriate"--guess I am too young to start smooching the boys)

Doesn't it look like Michelle has 2 kids? 1 happy boy with a lollipop and a spaced out girl? Those lollipops sure kept us entertained.

AJ & I tested out the roller coasters at Lupe Tortilla -- I love this place...they have a giant sandbox and tons of toys to entertain us while we wait for food. Why can't they have this in Austin??

And here is me, rolling around in the sand. Michelle thought it was funny...Mommy, not so much. I love to lay in the sand...someone take me on a beach vacation, stat!
