Just some random photos from our July/August

The Minions movie!  This was our first movie since we attempted a 4D movie in Vegas.  Ava was scared at the beginning of the movie.  I think once she realized nothing was going to jump out at her she started to relax.  By the end she was cheering for the Minions and asking to go take a picture with them.

Dentist check up .  This was her first set of x-rays.  She did really well!

New goggles to go with her new swimming skills!

Countdown to her birthday party!  This is her fairy dress.

Swimming Skills

Life at the pool lately isn't quite as relaxing as it use to be. Ava discovered how to go under water! Now that's all she wants to do.  She also likes to practice without her puddle jumper on.  I'm still not use to her swimming under water, it kind of freaks me out!  She's still working to be able to keep her head above water, but I think she's close.

Check her out!

 

Watch Me

So along with quite a few other people, Ava's a fan of the "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" Song!

School Carnival

Ava's school had a summer carnival. Carnival games, ball pit, bounce house, petting zoo, face painting, and food.  Oh and Ava's favorites.  Elsa AND Anna!!

Fairy Tea Party

You can just tell by Ava's face she's so excited about this Fairy Tea Party!

 

My mom and I have been to this tea house a few times but this was Ava's first visit.  She insisted on bringing her own tea cup and tea pot.  The staff was so kind to fill it with pink lemonade so she could play with it at the table!

The yummy menu.  Cupcakes, fruit tarts, fairy bread, cucumber sandwiches, butterfly cookies, sun dried tomato sandwiches, chocolate chip scones, and mini cheese biscuits.

 

Here is Ava during the story telling.  You can see she's holding her fairy ring.  They made those during the tea party.

 

 

Ava with the Garden Fairy!

Here she is helping make her fairy halo.

So cute!!

Another project.  Coloring a fairy and decorating her with flowers.

 

Going on the fairy walk

Dancing in the fairy circle!

Ava found some fairy stones during the walk!

This was such a fun event!  Definitely my favorite event this tea house has hosted!

The Ava Show

If I would allow it, Ava would watch YouTube videos all. day. long! 

It started with kids music videos.  Sometimes when I hear "Mommy finger Mommy finger where are you??"  I kind of want to throw the tablet out the window!! 

Then it moved on to videos with people creating things out of play-doh.  People opening a new toy and doing a review on it.  Videos of people doing a step by step video on how to dye Easter eggs.  And the most resent obsession is "treat eggs" and "prize eggs."

I noticed recently Ava would be in her play room and would "host" her own show!!  I was never fast enough to get it on video.  So one day I heard her digging through the cabinets for her Easter eggs.  Then she darted through the living room and into the play room and started rummaging through her toy box.  She walked over to me and wanted me to watch her open the eggs.  So I said, "HEY how about I make a VIDEO?!?"  She was all for it!

So here it is.  Do you think she needs her own YouTube channel??  LOL!!  She packed these eggs herself.  So all her "oh my's" and "wows" make it so funny!!

 

Summer Visit

We had a special visit from some of Ava's birth family!  It was very sweet and fun (besides the tornado warnings to the north and south of our location!!). We had dinner and then went to play at Dave and Busters!
