Doing some catching up.....

I haven't been able to post pics because they were being sent somewhere different in the computer when I transferred them on, but Jeremy has now fixed the problem. So I have some catching up to do...

We had great weather a couple weekends ago, so took Ava to the Zoo for the 1st time. She wasn't too sure of the big animals getting close to the glass, but liked to watch them anyways. The above pic is Ava terrified of the parakeets, not a bird fan. But Jeremy wanted to torture her so we went into the area where they fly around and she didn't enjoy it much.

Yeah, the BIG elephant was walking to close to the glass, so she bolted away!

Easter at my Uncle & Aunts' house across town. They did an egg hunt and had egss hidden for all of us. Ava loved the candy inside, of course!

All pretty and ready for church! Jer's mom bought the cute white dress when we visited MN in March, I saved it for Easter Sunday.

Every fall asleep reading a book??? Apparently so do babies who can't really "read," too funny. It's even a book about Naptimes. Silly girl! I normally don't check on her after putting her down, but she was just having a time out in her crib, guess she needed a nap.

I've been absolutly DYING from allergies this year, which I really haven't dealt with in the past. Then last week I got laryngitis and could barely talk. I haven't felt like "me" since mid-Feb. when I got a 5 week long cold, then allergies and now sick again. Somebody shoot me! My doc loaded me up on Rx meds, so allergies are doing better, I can breathe again. Oh well, such is my life!!!!

Oh lovely Springtime!

We just had a FABULOUS weekend of warmer weather, ahhhhhhhh, it was wonderful! It's been in the low 50's here forever, and this weekend it got up to 78!!! Ava could not be happier, it was hard to get her to stay in the house when I couldn't watch her outside. She just roams the yard (has only once stepped in dog poop, suprisingly) and picks all my flowers and just has a great time. Here are some highlights from the past week! Oh yeah, we are now back to the low 50's w/ no sunshine or warmth in sight for the 7 day forcast, boooo!

Guess we should have Spaghetti more often, she tried the fork but found it didn't get the food into the mouth fast enough. Then she proceeded w/ fistfuls of noodles, too funny!

We had to have a picnic outside, who wants to stay in the house w/ weather like this! Ava loves her wagon anyway, she's always ready for a cruise around the block.

My Mom came up for the weekend and stayed at my Grandma's house across town. We went there sunday to watch Conference and took a stroll between sessions. My Aunt Stephanie is on the left, then my Gramps, cousin Jessica, Ava and my Mom!

This picture is really for my cousin Janell!!! Ava found my punk-rock Barbie and decided it was hers now! My old pal Buffy created that Barbie for me over 12 years ago, man that makes me feel old!!!! I was sixteen 12 years ago, where in the world did time go!!! Anyway, thought this was a funny shot of the stinker Ava.
