Scribble Time

This is what happens when a 2 year old (Ava) finds a pen and her mom doesn't realize for about 5 minutes!  Took 3 days for the pen to come off even with baths and extra wiping with wipes!!  She also colored on the dining room chair cushions - but that's all I found.  Could have been a lot worse!

Zabby

Zabby, our Golden Retriever, really is not the smartest doggy, however she is AMAZING with the girls!! The girls love jewelry and wanted to dress her up!  She just laid there and let them do whatever they wanted to her.

 Ava is trying to put Mr. Potato Head's teeth in her mouth....hilarious!!!

4th of July 2012

We spent our 4th of July at Kim & Tim's house this year.  We went swimming, relaxed and had amazing food (BBQ'd the fish Jason caught while up in Northern Calif.).

Say cheese!

 Giving Auntie Kim snuggles.

Don't forget the dolly!

Bruce & Lilly

Ava has 2 dolls that she (well, both girls) received some time ago.  She is now finally really playing with them on an everyday basis and she has given them both names.....Bruce & Lilly (well Lilly was Jason's suggestion, but she liked it and has kept it.)  Instead of saying Lilly, she says 'Weewee'.  Anyhow, the 2 dolls look similar but one has green eyes (Bruce) and the other blue (Lilly) as well as having different outfits.  She never mixes them up and no matter what you do with the dolls, she still knows which is which.  It is hilarious!  She loves to cover them with blankies and kiss them night-night!!

How do they say it??

The girls are both talking SO much lately....especially Ava.

A few funny words and how Ava says them are as follows:  

Blueberries - 'Boobies', 

Chapstick - 'Cup-ick'

Chocolate Milk - 'Chalky-Nilk'

And Ella's are as follows: 

Blueberries - 'Boos'

Chapstick - 'Cup-cup'

2nd Disneyland Trip!!!

We decided to go to Disneyland today - after all we need to use our 3-day passes that we got last year before September.  Overall we had a great day!!!  The weather was gorgeous and the park wasn't too crowded!

Here are the girls on the carousel with Grandpa!

Ella SO excited!!

Best seat in the house!

Out of the whole park, the girls were most excited about the fountains.  This one was in Toon Town!

Ava driving Grandpa's scooter!

Hanging out in the Toon Town park!  Loved the slides!!!

Awww......kisses for Grandpa!!

The Parade was amazing!  Ella sat on Pop's lap for the whole thing, Minnie Ears and all!  Unfortunately Ava was so exhausted she slept through almost the entire thing!

Messy Room!!!!

This is what happens when a 2 year old (Ella) climbs out of her crib during nap time and has her way with her room while her sissy (Ava) watches because she's trapped in her crib by her crib tent.  Guess we will be purchasing another crib tent soon!!  Really, you can only laugh at the situation....I wonder what was going through her mind as she destroyed the room??
