Memorial Day Weekend!!

We had a nice long weekend. John and I were both on Friday so we enjoyed a four day weekend!! Uncle George came up and stayed with us until Sunday and then we all headed back to Medina. Saturday we had a small get together. I didn't take too many pictures, but here is one that Ava wasn't too happy about taking. These are our friends kids, Celeste and Noah...

Uncle Mark and Aunt Kay stopped over and Mark taught Ava a new game in the pool...

Sunday afternoon we headed to Medina and went to visit with Gram. She was feeling pretty good so we went out to dinner. Afterwards we headed back to George's and the little boy next door invited Ava to come over for a ride. Some of the pictures are blurry because they wouldn't stop!!
This morning we went to breakfast and then went to the Medina town square for the annual Memorial Day picnic. Ava befriended a few veterans that were there to enjoy the parade. It was so sweet!!



Waiting for the parade to start.

We came home (and missed a major accident by about an hour, thank you, Jesus for keeping us safe) and relaxed the rest of the day. I'm happy to get back on schedules this week. Ava needs a good night sleep in her OWN bed!! She's been sleeping bad again and it's affecting this Mama hard core. Hope you had a great weekend!!!

Rocket Boost!!

Ava loves swimming! She has been in the pool everyday since we opened it!! Her new favorite? Rocket Boost!!

BP Night at the Zoo

BP hosted a family night at the Toledo Zoo on Friday night. We were there for hours and did things we hadn't done before. We didn't even get through the whole zoo! We missed the monkeys. :(



Riding the zebra on the carousel. She had to settle for this since we wouldn't let her ride the real deal..



Her favorite part?? Holding the guinea pig and brushing it. She kept calling it a bunny!




Her 2nd favorite part? Do it yourself face painting!





These next pictures crack me up!! They had little masks hanging...



We had a great time! It was nice to do the extras for a change...

Good Luck, JBV!!

My friend Jodi has decided to leave Owens Corning. She is going to pursue her dream and go back to school. We went to the Durty Bird after work to celebrate and John and Ava came down to help with the celebration. Ava and Jodi had so much fun dancing together!!



Best Wishes, Jodi! We love you and you better stay in touch!


Happy Birthday, Tiffany!!

Thursday was my dear angel friend, Tiffany's, birthday. Tiffany went to heaven in January 2011. She would have been 36 on Thursday. It's still so hard to believe. But we kept our tradition and went to the cemetary and celebrated our dear friend.





After the cemetary we went to dinner and had Wixey's cake. It was her favorite! I miss her so much, but celebrating her life makes me feel peace. But I had to share this super cute moment brtween Ava and Aunt Frannie. I work with Frannie and her and Ava adore each other! So sweet!!



Happy Birthday, Tiff!! I love you and miss you so much!! Hope your cloud is super fluffy!!

Baseball Day

This past week was baseball week at school. The kids got to dress up in their favorite baseball shirt and take in their favorite toy! Can you tell how thrilled she was that I was taking her picture?
