Puyallup Fair

We went last year almost on the same day but last year Ava was in my belly!

Ava loved it!

Our favorite part is the animals and I think that's Ava's as well!

Thanks again Steph for the tickets!

12 months old

Happy Birthday to Ava, she is 1!!!!

I love her sweet little baby outfit!

Look at that birthday cake belly!

Ava's Birthday Party

Thank you Jessica and Rose for helping me with the sign!
All the friends who came to celebrate!

She ate her pizza and was all ready and waiting for the cake! (hence the no shirt)

Cake Time!!!

The proud mommy/cake decorator with the birthday girl!

Pure EXCITEMENT!

That's the way we do it! She says: "look mom, no hands!"

Just sooo yummy!

Quite a messy ordeal!Present time!!!!

We've been practicing with toilet paper rolls so I would have to say she did pretty good!

Thank you for all the gifts!

This is what dad mainly did! He did get to talk with his friends!

The Bay Area

While visited friends in San Leandro both Cameron and I got to go to our old jobs. We did not get pictures at Cameron's work for whatever reason but here are a few of the kids I worked with at Stanton Elementary!Isaac, Crystal holding Ava and me!
This him in 2008 at his birthday party!I worked directly with Isaac. I cant beleive how much he's grown!

It was soo fun to see him and his mom Linda!

Natalie with Ava, Silver, Cameron, Faye and Pete!
If you've been to my house here in WA you may have seen a picture of a group of people in a gym! These are the same friends. I miss my workout friends sooo much. There is no other gym in the world like the San Leandro gym! Miss you guys!

Going HOME!!

We like to think of the Bay Area as our home! It's where Cameron and I first lived just after we were married. We made soo many wonderful friends and lots and lots of memories!
We stayed in Benicia with our good friends the Banhs!
Here we are playing at the park!

Gracie and Ava!

Ava and Daddy

Ava and Gavin

I love the look on Gracie's face! Pure happiness!

Look at how cute this kid is!

Love the dimples!

I actually got a shot of Carolyn! She's the best! (Sorry Mitch-o I don't know why I don't have one of you)

11 months old

Ava turned 11 months today. It is so much fun having an eleven-month-old.

She did not like the bush touching her, can you tell?

This is a new face! We call it...Perma-smile!

She loved the flowers!

She just started doing the Hulk, it is sooo funny. Look at the little muscles in her neck popping out!

There was a lot of this going on during our photo shoot!

Happy Baby!!!

We've also be practicing kisses. She's really got the pucker down!
