Big smiles!!

Wes's Aunt Jeanie snapped a few pictures on their visit in September while hanging out in GGma & GGpa's backyard. You can't see Ava's cute little outfit, but she's a little hula girl!

Don & Erin's wedding

Here we are at Wes's cousin Don & Erin's wedding. I love the before/after picture. I was so afraid Ava would throw up on someone or leak from her diaper so I'm sure I looked a little uptight the whole night. She was such a trooper but the picture on Katie's lap at the end of the night shows how tired she was. She fell asleep at the dinner table with the wedding dance going on around her. No conga line for Ava!

First 1/2 cake!

Here's Ava with her first birthday cake and presents! Hey, any excuse to have a party! She got her first hammer since "every girl needs her own hammer!" She uses it everyday!

Happy Half Birthday to Ava!

We had a quiet evening at GGpa's for Ava's 1/2 B-Day "party". The sunset was just amazing so we had to snap some pictures!

Dinner Time!

OK- I swear I have a million pictures of Ava eating, but it's so cute to see big GGpa feeding little Ava her bottle! The quote of the year is Howard saying "A great week is when we get to see Ava every day!"

Two Sunshine girls!

Patty Cake Patty Cake! GGma and Ava having a little fun!

Pink Octopus and Princess Alex

Here's out little Pink Octopus on Halloween! We visited a few friends to show off our costume and showed our treat was Ava's "tricks"! Look at Ava admiring her friend princess Alex- she
L. O. V. E. loves Alex!

Schnepf Farms

Gma & Gpa Fougeron came to visit in October just as Ava started to crawl and patty cake. We spent a lot of time hanging out just watching Ava explore her new skills, but took one day to visit Schnepf Farms. Here's Ava posing with Gma & Gpa and riding the carosel and posing in her Baby Bjorn!
