happy day!

Ava

Ava is 9, nearly 10 months, now-- she weighs almost 20 #. We have moved her into a big girl car seat now-- she likes that, she is still facing backwards, so she likes to look at big sis!

She is soooo happy!! Such a easy going personality. She is starting to talk a lot-- dada. She can clap, wave hi and bye, blow kisses (on occasion), do so big. She got her first tooth a couple weeks ago and I think there is another one coming soon.

Ava mad-- you don't see that very often

Watching sissy-- she loves Piper so much!!

She is a turbo crawler!! She can also stand and walk behind our walking toys

So sweet!!

LOVES bathtime!!

Loves swinging even more!! She could be in here for hours!

She makes such funny noises with her lips-- she is doing it here!

So sweet!!

Piper

Piper is a very active 2 year old!! She loves being outside- playing on the swing set, going to the pool, swimming at the lake, etc. While swing, I hear"mommy, count for the money" a lot while swinging-- she likes the underdog saying, one for the money, two for the show... and so on.

About a month ago she got new bunk beds in her room (Like Jakey and Grant she will say). She has been doing great in them!

New beds!!

Swinging-- in a dress (hard to find her not in a dress or skirt, a girly girl!!)

Fun in the bath

Silly girl!

Practicing forward rolls-- she is excited to start gymnastics again in a week!

Almost there...

Great job!

So smiley!!! (bright sun!)

Gotta love those baby blues!

She says her hair is "white"

She has been trying to teach Ava-- so big!

Cheese!

Train Ride!

Today was a great day with the girls. We got some early playtime in on the swing set-- I think we were out there by 8:45. We then picked up Piper's friend Parker. We were able to go on a train ride, thanks to Grandma Bev. We took the train from Breckenridge to Galchutt (about 15 miles) The girls loved it! After that, we had a lunch at Pizza Ranch and an afternoon filled with dress up, dolls, dancing and more! Tons of fun, all on no nap!! Makes for an early night!

The girls so excited!

Gazing out the window! The earplugs lasted about 5 min, then we realized it wasn't very loud and they were REALLY annoying

Parker was quite the little poser! Such a great smile!

Sitting with daddy

The girls peaking out the window

Ava loved the breeze!

So pretty

She really was checking things out

Time for dress up!

The girls wanted to wear their dress up clothes to our block party tonight; but we decided we better keep them clean!!
