Today, I went to pick up Ava as I do every afternoon, but this time I remembered to bring my camera! Ava was napping when I arrived, but woke up soon after. It was prime picture taking time, as she played with friends, and we also caught Sasha who was in for an earlier pick up that day. Here are some pic's of Ava living large with her daycare family!
Same routine each workday; we rush home to spend time with Ava, for as long as possible before she hits the sack. That precious time includes playing together, watching her play by herself, leaving her alone to do her own thing at times (and still spying from time to timel!), dinner, bath, story & cuddle time, then finally...*yawn*...bed! Here, a night at our house with Ava. She always makes us laugh, and a hug from this caring girl can make the stress of a workday dissapear fast! On a side note; a BIG thank you to Gloria for watching Ava for us on the 15th, so J and I could have our first date night on my Birthday! Also, thank you for bringing over this yummy spaghetti on Father's Day...we all loved it, especially Ava! We love you Gloria!
WE LOVE YOU JASON! Thank you for everything you do for us! You are the most wonderful husband and Da-da two girls could ever ask for.
We're so thrilled you had a wonderful day! It started with sleeping in a little, followed by coffee and cards/presents. Ava got Daddy a to-go coffee mug with some black & white pic's of her on it. Also, a cute picture card from school! I got my wonderful husband tickets to the Washington State Brewer's festival at St Edwards park. After a very rainy morning, Gloria took us to the park, and brought Ava with her to see Auntie Shaunna & Tio Miguel and the kids. After a very wet start to the festival, it dried up and we had a wonderful time! Two dates out for this couple in the same week - WOW! Big thanks again to Grandma Gloria for helping us out :)
J, you are the rock of our family, and we love you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed your day! Cheers, to many more wonderful Father's day memories! Love, Charis & Ava
Baby Shower!! So fun! Can't say enough about it...so I won't say too much! Dena is due July 28th, and it was an honor to host her baby shower in the comfort of her own home. (No packing up gifts for home, she's already there!) :-) The Evans crew have a wonderful support system of friends and family near and far, who love them dearly. This will be one lucky baby! Enjoy the pic's of this gorgeous shower, and gorgeous Mommy-to-be! One regret...not enough pictures!
A little Ava action in the living room. She is so inquisitive and NEVER stops. We love our little shortcake!
Well, I will preface these pictures by saying that you probably had to be there - BUT...they are just too awesome not to share! J and I were having a drink...maybe more...when J busted out with some sweet moves. Oh Yeah, and Luke was there to witness the event as well. Get it J! I love my ham ball husband...hmmm, now we know where Ava gets it!
At school, Ava has been standing and taking steps while pushing a little toy shopping cart around - wow! I decided to get her a little car; it can switch around so that she can stand and push it, or later when she's older, sit on and ride it. She likes it!
Saturday, in the backyard, hangin with friends and some REALLY cute kids. Oh, and did I mention BBQ?! Yeah, good times! Our friends Mo, Gary, and their delightful kiddos, Madeline and Henry - along with Sasha, Bryan, and their darling daughter Bianca (Ava's best friend from daycare!) joined us for a BBQ...and the SUN WAS OUT people! We couldn't have asked for better weather, and it was a fun and relaxing afternoon spending time with friends. I was especially fun watching all the children play! I didn't take many pic's, (darn it, I really wanted some family and group shots :( ) but here are a few. Welcome Summer...bring it!
I like how the baby girls are watching Maddie closely!
Thanks for making the BBQ so fun, guys!
Gloria was gracious enough (as always) to host us all at her house for an early Dinner on the 30th. Turkey and all the fixins, yum! We were missing a few people; Casondra, Miguel, and Isi, but everyone else was there, including our nephew Cody, who we hadn't seen since my Birthday Toga party last June! This meeting would be his and Ava's first, and man oh man how she loved her cousin! Here are some pictures from the wonderful day!
