Punkin's

We carved pumpkins last night. We got our pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch while my mom was in town. (I'll post those later, I am totally behind on my blog.........) So in case any of you are wondering what Ava is wearing, it's one of my old T-shirts. She liked carving pumpkins for a little while and then she didn't want to carve pumpkins and she didn't want us to carve either. Funny girl. I tried to make her pumpkin have one of her funny faces she does all the time. I also put a bow on the stem because it looks just like her hair-do. Hee hee

GOoooo BADGERS!

Ava and Daddy

Running........and Running
Finally taking a rest.
Can you believe she is lying down........Gross!
Playing with ice that a concession stand discarded, Don't worry she didn't eat it!

We all went to the Wisconsin Badger Game a few weeks ago. The weather was nice and that can be unusual for Wisconsin this time of year. Ava sat on our laps until halftime and then I volunteered to hang out where she could run around. There is a nice open area where the concession stands are, and she didn't stop running..............and running. I had to chase her all over. She didn't want to hold my hand and honestly she didn't care if I was following her. Towards the end of the game her energy finally started to run out. I gave her a bottle and then she signed sleepy to me. And she should have been tired since she hardly got a nap earlier. I took her back into the stadium and we watched the last 7 minutes of the game. It was an exciting 7 min and of course I think the end is the best part (:

Last Boat Ride of the Year

We are so lucky to have such good weather this time of year. Don't worry everything gets normal this week. A high of 55 degree's is predicted for Tuesday. Waaaahhhhh (me crying)

Is Matt Crazy???

Matt has been holding Ava like this since she was very little. Maybe he secretly wished he was a Yell Leader instead of a Star Fooball Player. Ava of course loves it and I absolutley hate it. I get so nervous. SO notice those two little ponies. I don't often get her hair in two ponies because I have to do her hair while she is running around, adn two ponies must be evenly spaced and going in the same direction. One pony can go anywhere on top of her head. Matt joked and said when she is throwing a fit, they look like little horns.

Last Pictures of Our Boise Trip........

My Grandma picks Blue Berries every 4th of July in Oregon and then freezes a whole bunch to last throughout the winter. Ava went crazy over these big frozen blue Berries. They probably felt good on her gums. She got two molars while we were in Boise. We managed to go through an entire gallon of Blue Berries in 10 days. Grandma would even sneak them to her when I wasn't looking.
We put the sprayer on Mist and let her go to town. She was giggling like crazy as she was spraying herself in the face.
Cousin Johnny, Grandma, and Baby Mariah.
Me, Ava and my cousin Ben eating at the little kids table. Ava wanted to do anything Ben was doing. It was so cute watching him explain the game Candyland to her. Ben will be an awesome big brother to Mariah.

So it took me awhile to get my Boise Trip posted. I guess I just wanted to brag for a couple weeks.........or I had so much fun I just had to post a lot.............or my computer is sooooooo slow that I could only dedicate one upload a night (2 tonight Woohoo!). So I'm sure you are all looking forward to a few new posts to come: UW Football Game (GO BADGERS!!), The Zoo, and and some other fun things I can't think of right now. Trust me they'll be good!

A Hike in Boise

Pinch Daddy's Ear.
Dave and Sara
Wild Turkey's!

We went on a small hike in Mack's creek where my bio. father has a very cool little cabin. Ava loved being outside. Her favorite thing though were the wild turkey's. She probably thought they were giant chickens. It was nice to spend the day in the canyon and hear lots of great stories that Dave told. I hope Ava gets a love for the outdoors.
