Avah and Zach

After a swimming date at Zach's house, Avah and her best friend had time for a quick pose. This picture was too cute not to share!

Water Hose

Avah was helping me water the flowers and then decided that she needed watering!! She sprayed herself in the face and started cracking up, so I had to run in and grab the camera. Surprisingly enough, she kept doing it so that I could get some video. Jason and I were cracking up....it was hilarious.


I couldn't decide which video to post, so I just posted both of them. Enjoy!

"China Clothes"

Lillie was just recently adopted from China and they brought Avah home some "China clothes". Avah wanted to immediately try them on. She loved them and they look so cute on her!

Avah and Lillie

Avah's friend, Lillie, came over to play today. They had so much fun playing and swimming together. And of course, having a popsicle! Lillie enjoyed playing with all of the new toys and Avah really liked Lillie's phone and purse. After coming in from the pool, Avah wanted to run around naked. She is discovering that she likes not having any clothes on! (We are hoping that it is because it is 100 degrees outside...and not a new phase!) Lillie found that she had enough hair to put in Avah's hairbow...it was so cute! I think that by the last picture...both girls were tired of having their picure taken! You can see some more of pictures of Avah and Lillie on Lillie's blog....www.ourchinatreasure.blogspot.com.

Wedding Reception

We went to a wedding reception last weekend for one of Daddy's friends. Avah loved being able to dance on the dance floor with all of the other kids, especially her cousins, Ben and Jack. The little girl in the picture kept wanting to dance with Avah, but she would have no part of it. She just wanted to do her own thing (imagine that!!)!

Having a picnic!

Avah's friends, Wyatt, Campbell, and Hunter, came over for a playdate. They had a lot of fun playing together. Campbell had to leave before lunch, but Avah, Wyatt, and Hunter enjoyed having a picnic at Avah's new table.

Avah Loves the Water!

We have so many pictures of Avah in the pool because she loves the water so much. She really likes the "big pool" but I always forget to take my camera when we go. Hopefully we will get to go a few more times before summer is over...and I will TRY to remember the camera. Until then...you'll just have to see the pool in the backyard! She is starting to "big girl swim" alot more now (which means that she lays on her belly and kicks).

Say Cheese!

Here are a few pictures of Avah "hamming" it up in front of the camera. We have to take all the pictures we can when she will actually let you!
