Ava's first official Haircut!

Since Ava isn't a fan of bows, clippies, pig tails or anything resembling the above in her hair, I decided it was time for a haircut since Gma and Katie called her a hippie on 4th of July!

I asked my friend Jen, who has some experience cutting baby hair, if she would cut Ava's hair. Ava put up with us, but really wasn't thrilled to lose her wispy bangs. Not sure if we have an "after" picture just yet, but we can now see Ava's eyes!




Look how excited Ava is for her first haircut!













OK, closest thing we're gonna get to a smile!

Hello Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition....

Ok, if Ava keeps getting this royal treatment every time we leave town, she's gonna start booking our flights!

Someday, I feel that Ava will hate this picture!


Check me out climbing on the waterfall

Fore!!!!

Of course Ava has her first set of golf clubs! Wes has her practicing and I think she's going to actually be able to hit a golf ball on her own soon. It's amazing what children will emulate!













Notice that GOLF is on TV in the background....











"Dad, I can get the ball so much father if you just let me pick it up and throw it!"

Proud to be an American!

HAPPY 29th B-DAY TO MY DADDY!



















The 4th of July party at Alyson & Ed's changed unexpectedly when we learned that both churches canceled their 4th of July fireworks shows! We were all disappointed but caught a glimpse of MCC's show and had a great display of patriotism and dance from all the kids and Wes!







Here's Scott Keppel, his son Gabriel, Scott Sowell holding Gavin Keppel, Wes holding Alex Keppel, Melissa Keppel & Ed in the background looking for fireworks!










Ava showed her patriotism with a very enthusiastic dance to "This Land is Your Land..." and "Yankee Doodle Dandee"!











Not sure why our camera was out of focus, but it created a little bit of action in our photo. Ava was waving her red, white & blue with pride!

More proof that I'm soooo cool

"Do I look like a movie star or what! No kid glasses for me... I'm officially not a baby anymore so it's Louis V or chanel for this chick!













"Here I am on a Friday night out with two of my 'boys', Ken & Cody. How cute are they!!!"














"Heff's got nothing on me"
















"This is my Vicki's Secret pose"

Skinny Dipping in GGpa's backyard!

No diaper....no problem! There's always one item I forget on outings....swim diaper was the item of the day today! GGpa put up a little pool in his backyard on Father's Day and Ava wasn't about to sit out and watch just because of no diaper...no sirree!
























































Where's is this water coming from?????

Happy Father's Day to all my AZ fathers!

We celebrated Father's Day at GGpa's with a little dip in their new cool pool and, of course, a fabulous dinner.











Happy Great Grandfather's Day!
