The Lorax!

I've really been wanting to take Ava to a movie but wasn't sure on how she would do. We decided on Saturday to take her to the matinee of The Lorax, the Dr. Seuss movie. We brought Ernie along...Luckily, they didn't charge us for his admission.

Taking it all in
Totally engrossed in the movie

She didn't get out of her seat until the movie was over! She loved it! When it was over, she said "It's over?" It was so adorable!! We are so happy we took her!

The Little Things in Life

I love my house! I have zero complaints about my house. But there was always a little something I wished we had. And that is a light in the pantry. But it's minor, right? I just let it go because how can I wish for something that stupid. Fast forward 18 months....

My neighbor calls and asks to borrow a spice or something and we weren't home. So, I told her just to go ahead and run over and grab it. I was still on the phone with her while she was at my house. She opens the door and says "where is the light?" Sadly, I said "we don't have one". And she says.....drum roll, please...."Then why is there a fixture?" Um, what??? Apparently for the last 18 months directly above our heads was a light fixture that only needed a light bulb!!!! What?!?!?!?! So, a day and $7 dollars later....
We have light in the pantry!! My neighbor is a genius!!! Thanks, Kelly!

Fun with Peter!!

Last night, a friend that I know through work invited Ava and I over for pizza and some fun!! She has a 3 year old son named Peter! They got along pretty well!! But the guitar was a big hit while we got a rocked out version of the ABC's!!

Thanks, Lisa and Peter!!

Who Knew The Mall Was So Much Fun??

Last Friday, I NEEDED to get out of the house. I wanted to get a new pair of tennis shoes, so we ventured out to Franklin Park. I never really paid much attention to how much stuff they had for kids!! Ava loved it!

The small tables (she wanted nothing to do with us)

The Toys!

A Train Ride with Daddy!

Toys to climb on

But most of all! My fearless little girl....

BUNGEE JUMPED!!

She LOVED it!! She was so high! She keeps asking to go back and JUMP HIGH!! Haha!!

FROSTING!!!

Had to steal these pictures from E's mama!! They were so proud of the color of their tongues from the frosting! They crack me up!!

I know I still need to do a post about Ava's big trip to the mall...Tonight! I promise!!

Have a great day!!

Back To Normal

Mama is finally back among the world of the living! Yea!!! Man, that stuff hit me hard. I have never, ever in my life missed 4 days of work for being sick. I wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who helped us out last week! From bringing me Vernors, to shuttling Ava around, and just picking up the slack...I thank each and every one of you!

I had major cabin fever on Friday night and still wasn't feeling 100%. I needed to get out of the house but was no way wanting to do alot. So we decided to take Ava to the mall because she also needed new tennis shoes. I've decided to make that a separate post because I can't wait to share what she did!! I'll try and upload tonight.

But I will share the rest of our awesome weekend!! We had the privilege of being invited to Emmett's 2nd birthday party! Emmett is from Korea and this was his first birthday in the USA!! And let me just tell you that Emmett's mama OUTDID herself with this party. She set the bar pretty high for me this year...:)

Sweet Emmett

Ava and Emmett at the "Decorate Your Own Party Hat" station...Isn't that brilliant??
And yes, there was even a bounce house!!!

I love this picture!! So innocent....

And lets just say Ava went over and helped herself to a cupcake. Can you guess what color icing she had? (there are actually pictures of Ella and Roz that are similar, I'll have to get them from Ella's mama. So funny!!)

After the party, we headed to Medina to visit with John's mom. She was doing really well!!

After we visited with Gram, we headed to a basketball with Uncle George and then out for pizza afterwards. Ava was stoked that Megan and Jolie joined us for pizza!

Ava was so zoned out at the restaurant. She had a super busy day!! But she definitely got her second wind for the big dance party with Nick afterwards!!!

The FLU

It hit.
I had it.
HARDCORE.
I've been in bed for 3 days and finally back to work. But they are making me go home. :(
I promise a more exciting post soon. I haven't taken a picture in days of my girl. She just keeps asking me why I'm eating bread. :)

Hope you all are healthy!!
