Random Cell Phone Pics

One Sunday evening while Dad, Adam and Jason played ping pong we took the kids for a ride on the golf cart- we rode all through the woods and then we took a trip down the hard road.



At one point, we stopped and they went to pet the miniature ponies- I'm actually really surprised Ava was up for this- but you know with her buddies around she is a little braver than usual ;)



Back at Mom's they also discovered some gifts she had put away for Ava...haha! I guess they have figured out her secret stash she will have to find a new hiding place!



Ummm.... I think the picture speaks for itself- Oreo Mega Stuf?! Its life (and waist) changing!



I'm not lying when I say it is 100% princess at our house- you can always expect to see Ava in a princess outfit or part of one and just recently she has started wearing make-up everywhere we go. We can't leave the house with out the 'appropriate' amount of eye shadow and lip-gloss. What's even funnier is that she was using her lipstick for eye shadow and she carried a small mirror and her lipstick/eye shadow everywhere! She was constantly checking herself out! (I should also not that she didn't use that particular lipstick for her lips as well, we had real lip-gloss for that!)



We went fishing at Littlefield again and Ava was the designated shrimp de-header! Can you believe it? She'd grab that shrimp out of the bag, peel the head off and hand us the shrimp!



By the end of the day Adam and I were in a heated competition, I think we ended up catching about 14 fish total, tied....7-7!

This is also the day Ava learned how to pee on the ground- ha! My child has serious issues going to the bathroom anywhere but a proper bathroom, the drama that unfolds when I tell her to go in the ocean? Don't even get me started! I didn't have a key to the house at Littlefield and didn't know what the combination was (I later texted my dad) she had to go, so I told her to pull her shorts down and squat. Can't I just say, guys have such an advantage of us girls in this department... She wouldn't do it- I mean flat out wouldn't do it, she finally got up enough courage to pull them down and squat but she just couldn't let herself go. I finally told her we weren't go back to the dock until she did it! And she did it, finally, after all the tears and crying she realized it wasn't so bad. Listen, I'm not planning to make this a habit, but you just never know when an emergency might arise and now she knows how to do it. It was just such an ordeal I knew I would want to document it- of course she probably will not thank me :)



We went to lunch at Daddy's favorite restaurant, without Daddy...gasp! But we did send him this picture to let him know we were rubbing it in at least thinking about him.



And we had a moment of silence as Adam's truck rolled over 1000 miles....
