My Little Fairy Princess

I bought this when Ava was a baby and forgotten about it. I didn't know she was into dress up until she kept trying to put the wings on. So I helped her get her skirt and wings on, and gave her the wand. She was running all over waving her wand, singing, and swaying back and forth. I was cracking up. Of course as soon as I pulled the out the camera, the silliness stopped and she wanted the camera. I should have known she might like dress up because she does like to wear her party hat from her birthday and also her sunglasses at the grocery store. Everyone compliments her at the grocery store and calls her a movie star. In return she gives them a large movie star grin.

Oh My! Is it a Party.....

Ava found a box of "Party Favors". She was so thorough on getting every last item out of the box. Luckily she didn't try to open the wrappers.

Flower Power

Ava likes to help mommy water the flowers. Even though she mostly waters the ground and picks all of my blooming beauties, it is nice that she likes to be a part of of this daily ritual. I wonder if she'll like plants as much as I do when she gets older.........

Happy 4th Anniversy to Us!!

Matt planned a wonderful 4th Wedding Anniversary that we celebrated this weekend. We went to Sundara Spa in Wisconsin Dells. It was incredible........so relaxing. Erica and Corey watched Ava over night. It was our first time leaving her overnight, but of course she was in good hands. That night there was a big storm and we actually lost electricity for two hours at the hotel. And at the Radlunds the storm woke all the kids up and everyone slept in their bed-even Ava. We had a good time having a picnic in our room, couples massage, dinner at Fields, and Matt hanging out at the pool while I got my first facial ( I loved it!). How am I going to top this next year?

Family Picture at National Night Out

National Night Out

This event was at the park that is just 3 blocks from our house Ava's ponytail makes her 3 inches taller.
Mom and Ava. Ava is looking at the "Dog Dog".

We stopped by our city's "National Night Out". There were police cars, ambulances, fire truck, a police horse, police dogs, and a Black Hawk Helicopter. Ava thought the police dogs were there to play with her, and she also tried hot dogs for the first time! Overall a good time even if we didn't win any prizes.

Waunafest

We have all these crazy festivals that include a lot of carnies and some rickety rides. Waunafest is held in an adjacent town to ours called "Waunakee" (the only one in the world supposedly). Ava rode on the carousal for the first time. I thought she would squeal and get excited, but she was very serious and the up and down seemed to mesmerize her. She held on tight and wouldn't even let go to give Dad a little wave.

HOLD IT!!

Ava is a true shopper. She has several bags she carries around and sometimes puts her clothes in them. Teach them young, right? Pizza wire rack. If you ask Ava to make you a pizza she will run and grab this rack.
Decorative box that happens to have the perfect handle.

Hangers
Ava runs around looking for random things to carry. Sometimes she puts the items back where they belong and sometimes she puts things in crazy places. The remote control was missing for a couple of days and sure enough Ava had hidden it in the drawer under the oven. Maybe I should bake more often (:
