Brrrrrr...Ava's first trip to Nebraska

Elivia & Ava at the library hanging out with the wild animals! We stayed with my friend Dawn in Omaha for a few days while visiting my parents in Nebraska. We learned so many new things....new books, new toys, new ways to nap in the car (Ava, not me), how to bathe a baby in 4 minutes or less.....Dawn'isms took on a whole new meaning on this visit!

Ava's posing for Gma & Gpa!

Since we have no stairs and virtually every home in Nebraska has stairs, Ava mastered them in a matter of two tries! Ava was a pro, but not so much in her "skinny jeans". Although cute, some outfits aren't practical for climbing stairs...its sure starts young!

Here's Elivia & Ava enjoying some cheese bunnies after a nice chilly afternoon playing outside!

"What's in here....any cheese bunnies?"

One good thing about cold weather....the cute sweaters!

The Shields 60th Anniversary Party

Wes, Jeanette & Ava at Wes's Grandparent's Anniversary party. All of Aunts & Uncles on his mom's side came back for the party at Painted Mountain Resort. Ava loved meeting all her aunts & uncles and of course, hanging out with GGma & GGpa!

Ava blowing kisses... or yawning...not sure!

A party without balloons is no party for me!

Hey....a shoe string.....no one's paying attention so I can put it in my mouth!

Ava and her twin:)

I'm loving this party where I get to sit up at the big table with everyone!

Ava's first meeting with Liam...she's so shy isn't she? I see a slight resemblance:)

Hanging out on the driving range...shhhh... golf is a serious sport.......must be quiet....... Daddy say's so.....

Not much taste, but......

Is there anything cuter than a baby in a bathtub?

Love my bath time!!!

Look at my baby blues, no greens, no hazel....we're not sure just what color my eyes are yet!!

I know I'm cute!!

Catching fishes with my bare hands!

Little Tigress in the making!

I'm pretty sure Wes will have her swinging the clubs as soon as she can stand on her own!
