My daughter is in LOVE with all things horses, so we decided to take her to the Rock Creek horse show. Ava was a little disappointed because she wanted to ride the horses and that was obviously not possible. She really enjoyed herself and that made us happy. We even got to see William Shatner. Here are a few pictures of our night out at the horse show. Does anybody know a farm in Louisville that will let 2 year old ride? I have heard of pony clubs, but they usually start at age five.
Alex was very good for his first haircut today! I wanted to get it trimmed up before his birthday. His hair was starting to look a little scraggly. Ms. Cathy gave Alex his first haircut, and she was the same person who gave Bert his first haircut 28 years ago. I think I'll keep his bangs a little longer next time, but I still think it's super cute. Little boys look so sweet after their haircut. We are all set for Alex's big day, I can't wait!
Both kids are napping so I have a little time to blog. I was going through old pictures because I am working on a little project for my kitchen (pictures of completed project will soon follow,) and came across some pictures of my Grammy and my Mom. Looking at the pictures I thought how proud I am to be a Mommy! I love the fact that I am a Mom and I love knowing that two little people depend on me for everything. How AWESOME it is to be a Mommy! I love you Mom! I love you Grammy! Thanks for teaching me how to be a great Mom!
As my Dad likes to put it (I've been quoting him alot lately) "Ava gets a full day in." My little girl has an amazing amount of energy. She probably spent on and off about 5 hours in her new pool today. Yes, that's right Ava's Mimi upgraded our swimming pool! We will be sharing the pool and transporting back and forth from our house to Mimi's house just like our tricycle. It's always more fun when you share with everyone! Here are a few pictures of my sweet little girl hard at play getting her "full days worth."
Our weekend was busy and fun with a graduation party, visits to the pool, renting movies, and a great cookout at Mimi's house. Memorial day is a great reminder of all the men and women who have and continue to serve our country, a job I will admit I would be too afraid to do.
We had a great visit with the Mullers at JCC swimming pool. We cherish the friendship we have with them, we always have a great time together. We can't wait to meet baby Muller # 2 June 30th!!! Seeing my friend so pregnant brings back memories of when I carried my two little ones and how exciting the last couple weeks of pregnancy are even though you start to get extremely uncomfortable. Being pregnant is really one of the BEST moments in your life. After 10 long months you finally get to meet the little baby that's been kicking you, you finally get to see the sweet little face you have daydreamed about. It's simply amazing to think about sometimes because when you look back on what you thought was so long of a time and that you might just be pregnant forever, somehow you blink and you are preparing to celebrate their first birthday! I'm not sure anything can top the day your baby is born.
After swimming, we headed over to Mimi's house for a yummy cookout! The menu included BBQ chicken, squash casserole, mac-n-cheese, slaw, watermelon, and double chocolate brownies! As my Dad would say "how can you beat it!" I say this alot but I feel you can never say it enough, I LOVE my family, and I am BLESSED to have them all!!
There are lots and lots of pictures to see! I would like to give a shout out to my brother's girlfriend Annie for taking some great pictures of my kiddos.
Please note also some of the pictures of Ava and her dramatics. She is quite the little actress. Who knows we may have a broadway star on our hands.
The fight for the helmet and car begin!
Ava starts the pout, Gus goes on...
Actual tears over a helmet and car......
Goose means serious business, he will not give in...........
Ava decides to clean up a little before she makes her move........
Gus left the car unattended for 5 seconds and Ava swoops in, look at this face, don't mess with this girl!
The helmet will have to wait for another day, for now all is right with the world again for miss Ava.
