Saturday at the Ball Park

Earlier this summer we went to see uncle Nick coach his baseball team. It's his first year coaching, and he's doing so on the field where he grew up playing. Very exciting stuff. And Ava thought so, too!

Cheese!


Nice shades.


Ava's first walk on a ball field.


Oh yeah, I got to meet Mr. Food when he came to town. Nice guy.


So here's the update from us: Ava's doing great. She has become quite the little talker. And walker! The other day she was sitting in the kitchen, smack in the middle of the room. She stodd up and walked to the door, turned around and walked back across the floor. Once she figured out how easy it was, she made laps around the house for about an hour. It was amazing! I think I got a couple of pictures, I'll have to go through my files soon and update them. And she's loving the outdoors. I think most of our summer will be spent not in the house. Fine with me! Hope all is well for everyone. Enjoy the Memorial Day holiday! God bless the troops, veterans and fallen heroes.

More from Ava

Hi all. Hope life is good. We're doing so well 'round here. Ava had a very talkative day yesterday. She was calling for me in the morning, so the girls called me at work to say hi. That was a nice surprise. And we went to Gymboree, where she made friends and really enjoyed herself. I thought I'd post some fun pics from this last month. I'll work on the newest as soon as I can. Enjoy!

Easter breakfast. My folks came over that morning to bring Ava her Easter basket...


...which she loved.


And here's the swing from Auntie Kim.


I love this shot.


"What? No more? C'mon Grandpa!!"


Grandma getting her on the upswing.


Then I climbed the tree.


Just enjoying the swing :) Thanks Auntie Kim!!


Next time... Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!

May is Here

So I guess I'll throw some pics together. It's been a busy week, with a houseful of laughter and such. The Oklahoma crew is visiting, and the kids are so much fun. So here's some randomness for your Friday.

These 3 are from Ava's 11 month picture session. Go Padres.




Anticipating the "gotcha..."


...and there it is!


What a great, serious face.


So big!
