Well, first things first...We are moving to (drum roll please) Connecticut!! (Maybe by the time I move back, I won't have to think so hard to remember how to spell it haha) So, it should be a lot of fun, we'll be right by New York, which I have never been to, and by the coast and we'll be with our friends Taylor and Liz, which will be really nice to know someone.
So, on to the marathon picture post. Ava turned two last week, and had a puppy party, this is her with Grandpa Rigby in his puppy ears. She sure loves her Grandpa!
This was her licking the beater from her birthday cake, you just can't deny a birthday girl that honor!
This is her version of "two years old", with my freakishly long thumb in the way.
Enjoying the cupcakes!
These are all the little puppies that came to her party. It was so much fun!
We got her, her own personal crash cart. She likes to take the syringe and come at you saying, I'm gonna give you a shot, in a very menacing tone. Maybe I need to think about switching doctors :)
She took her pajamas off the other day and didn't want to get dressed, but just wanted to watch cartoons. So it was a diaper and heels for most of the day with an occasional purse draped on the arm.
The Office is back on...YAY! So, of course we had to have an Office Party. This is Matt and his brother Nathan.
These are our cute friends Becky and Jason with their little ones.
This is Ava with her shoes that her Aunt Ess gave her. How many girls get that excited about shoes when they are two? When she was opening her presents, she got a cute outfit and I was going to set it aside, and she pushed the toys away, and grabbed the pants and said, "I wanna put it on" and proceeded to put on the leggings. When she had them on, she could then resume opening presents! She's such a girl! I love it!!!
We went camping with Matt's brother Chris and his wife and with our friends Taylor and Liz, this is Ava with their son Caden. He's older than her but she wanted to do everything he did, so he climbed up the side of this hill and Ava followed.
So, we have these friends that live by us that stole our bikes out of our garage cuz our door was open and then came around to our front door and asked if we wanted to go for a bike ride with them (while they were holding our bikes) It took us way too long to realize they had our bikes, but apparently they were trying to teach us a lesson or something about our garage door and safety and stuff. Anyway, this was our response to them. That's their garage door just in case you thought we put it on our own house or something :)
These are all pictures from our Desmond Reunion. This is about the cleanest Ava was the entire trip.
This is my nephew with a snake they found and caught.
After two nights of not sleeping at all (literally...she watched the carebear movie in our car from about 1:30am till 5am both nights) this was the end result. Aaaahhhh
And then, I just love this picture, i don't know what it is about it but she just looks so sweet! Gosh I just love her!!!
Okay, so that's it for now! I didn't realize it had been so long until I saw how many pictures I needed to post..oops!
Earlier in the summer we took Ava on a bike ride down the Jordan River Parkway and ended at Gardner village and they have a little petting zoo and she got to ride some ponies, so we thought we'd do it again, but we didnt' realize the petting zoo area was closed, so we felt like pretty crappy parents when we show up and Ava kept saying "Ride the ponies?" but it was a really beautiful bike ride anyway, the leaves had fallen along the trail so they were all crunchy and pretty and it was a beautiful day!
Our little elephant, going trick-or-treating
all the cousins, ready to hit the town
My niece was a zombie bride, I was quite impressed! Plus, see that pillowcase? That's when you know you're at the age that trick-or-treating is a much more serious ordeal!
Our little elephant with her Nanny and Grandpa
Zombie Bride in the making....
Our little Joe dirt, we put this on her and she wore it forever, it was cracking us up!
We decided to let Ava paint her pumpkin to save us from severed limbs, so this is her painting her pumpkin....and herself!
This is at the pumpkin walk at the Benson Grist Mill
The family outing to the pumpkin patch
I guess all two year olds are subject to this face...Ava and her cousin at the pumpkin patch
Trying out different costumes before Halloween, the care bear one was just a little too big this year, thank goodness for hand-me-downs eh?
Well, that's it, we are just still trying to sell our townhouse, find a place to live in Connecticut, and not get buried with all these wonderful costs of going back to school. 18 books later and I should be a preferred member of Amazon and Ebay! Other than that, we are doing great! Happy past October and Happy November and fallen leaves and thanksgiving and crisp weather! Gotta love the fall!
