Happy 4th of July!!!

I love all the holidays they are so much fun. We ended up spending the 4th of July at my parents home. We had a really nice BBQ in their backyard and played some fun outside games. We played croquet and some ball game where you bounce the all on a little tramp and try to get the ball into the holes to get points. It was pretty fun. My husband ended up winning both games. Such a cheater. lol j/k. I hope everyone else had a nice 4th of July. :)

Madi playing croquet so cute. :)



Ava's 1!!!

So crazy to think that she started out so tiny. She was born June 22, 2011. She weighed 6 lbs 7oz and was 19 inches long. So crazy to me the transformation 1 year makes.

 We celebrated her birthday this year June 30th the Saturday after her actual birthday. We went to the Splash Park in Alpine near my parents house. The kids really enjoyed themselves getting to play on all the park toys plus the fun water park. As you can tell I did a owl theme this year. I thought it was super cute. My mom made the cake and I thought it turned out so cute. :) I just love that little owl.

 Seriously love this cake!!

Some things Ava can now do at 1 are:
- She loves eating pretty much everything
-She can say mama, dada, baba, ow, owee, ohoh, ava, hi.
-She loves to dance. Everytime she hears music from anything she starts to sway.
- She can walk holding on to things but not by herself yet.
- She likes to play with her sisters. So cute to watch her play toys with them.
- She of course is still a mama's girl.
- She has mastered the stairs going up and down.
- She is finally sleeping through the night. YAY!!
I love this baby girl so much. I am so happy she is a part of our family. Happy Birthday Ava!!!
