MY LITTLE DAREDEVIL!!

Jeremy's sister Terry arrived in Portland this morning, she's hanging out with us till Tuesday! After chillin' and watching some football today, we headed to the mall to do some ice skating. Now Ava has done this once before, about a month ago w/ the teens from church, when Jeremy took them there for their weekly activity. But she LOVES it! I think she's into to thrills. Just like she loves big waterslides, she could do it over and over again.

This is Terry & Ava~ taking a break, though Ava didn't want one!

I am by no means good at skating, so we had to take it slow anyway. Ava moved her feet a bit, but mainly got pulled around by us. Jeremy is really good and would take off all fast with her in front of him.

That is NOT a scared face, she was loving it the whole time. Jeremy let her fall a little and when she discovered she was on ice, she wanted to just sit and rub her hands on it. When we got kicked off so the Zamboni could polish it over, is when we decided to sneak away, but Ava was not happy about it. Unfortunatly, we bribed her with going to see the puppies at the Pet Store, except it was no longer there!!!! Ooops!!!

This is Ava & Jer at dinner before skating, too cute, very 1950's! I think all she had to eat was most of that shake, an onion ring, and maybe some pieces of ham. Way too much sugar today! Below pic is how Ava forgot we were supposed to go see puppies. We went to Sears to find some snow pants and she found some babies. If you know Ava, you know she's LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Babies! Mom is no sucker though, not when she already has 6 at home! This is her holding it tight trying to sneak onto the escalater with it. I was checking out when Jeremy and Terry had to get the baby from Ava and Ava out of the store, but don't think it went TOO bad.

It was a GREAT day for us, looking forward to relaxing tomorrow (unfortunatly more Football) and going to play in the snow at Mt Hood on Monday. I just know Ava is going to LOVE sledding, such a thrill seeker!!!
