Cute Pictures of Ava



Ava Got Into Vaseline and Worse Gave Herself A Haircut

          The first week of Tyson's break little miss Ava decided to get into a few things to start it off right.  First she came into our room in the morning and was saying "Daddy, daddy, come I show you."  Both of us were still trying to wake up and so Tyson rolled over to pick her up and she was to slippery to do it.  He opens his eyes and looks at her and she is shinning all over her body covered in Vaseline.  We both got up quick as she keeps saying she wants to show us something.  We went to her room and she had unloaded a brand new Vaseline bottle all over herself, the wall, and her bed.  We were laughing so hard and hurried and grabbed the camera to take a picture.  She would not stay still for us to get one of her until she stopped again to show us what she did.  It took a while to clean it up but we laughed the entire time.  Oh it was a great moment in a parents life.


         The next day was the worst of the two.  Tyson just got Ava out of the shower and put her in our room and came down stairs because he thought I had her clothes.  When I told him no they are on the bed he went back upstairs and found Ava on our dresser with scissors and a bunch of her hair piled by her feet.  He wasn't even away from her for 2 minutes and she did this.  Tyson just said, "Ava what did you do?"  "Go and show your mom."  He said it calmly but Ava knew he wasn't happy.  When I came up the stairs cause I heard them I saw her and she said to me " Mom I look pretty!!!"  She chopped it good down to the scalp on one side.  Tyson was devastated that his little girl had chopped her hair and that her hair took along time to grow to were it was now.  If you know Tyson your hair and how it looks is important.  I put the hair in a bag and explained to her that only mommy and daddy can cut her hair and nobody else especially not her.  We decided to not cut it but just let it grow out and then eventually do a little trim.  Until that time we did have Ava wear a hat or anything to cover her head and its a good thing it is cold in Portland that time of year.

Ava at a party for her friend Dominik

               Ava went to a party that was held at J. J. Jump where there were multiple bounce houses for them to jump on.  Ava had such a good time and loved going down the slides.  Kaci even joined in on the fun!!!  Her friend Laura was there to play and Chase Brea's brother who Ava loves playing with.  Ava was exhausted after jumping and playing.  She has asked to go again at least once a week.

A Day at OMSI

                   We went to OMSI to get out of the rain and go play with Brittney and her kids.  It was a great way to get Ava out of the house so she would not be so stir crazy being stuck inside the whole day because of the rain.  She loved playing in the water and with all the stuffed animals they have.


Ava's 3rd Birthday!!

Our little Ava turns 3 and she was excited for her party with all her friends.  She had a jump house, pizza, candy, vegetables, cupcakes, decorate your own cookies, and special made cookies!!  She had so much fun with all her friends and was on a major sugar rush.  At her party we wanted to let people know we were having a baby by having Ava hold a sign saying "I am gonna be 3!!! &..." and the other saying "I'm gonna be a big sister!"  We posted the pictures on Facebook to let others know.  She was excited to say she was gonna be a big sister.  We are so glad for those friends that came to make her day special and also for our family who could not be there still make her feel loved and special.  We love our little AVA!!!!

Ava was so happy on her special day!!

Family Photos

    We do family photos every year around Thanksgiving but since we are living in Portland and did not come down until Christmas we did them after the holidays.  We went to Freestone park in Gilbert and brought an old truck and some other props to use to try and be as creative and different to make the pictures great.  We were even lucky enough to be able to use the merry go round before it was open to the public.  Ava was still battling her sickness she had and was not to happy about taking pictures.  We did get a few good ones though and thought the pictures turned out great.

Fun Cute Pictures of Ava


   We just love taking pictures of Ava and catching those moment that make you laugh and make your heart melt.  She has such a spunky and fun personality.  The picture with the chocolate face was when she found some stashed chocolate in the kitchen and tried to eat it all real fast before we tried to stop her. (Hence the reason it is all over her hands and face)  The pic in the middle was on a Sunday and she kept refusing to take a nap and just wanted bread and Tyson gave it to her and 2 minutes later she was asleep with her leg up on the wall holding the bread.  She loves mom and dad reading books to her and she loves trying to read it back to us.  Ava likes to work on daddy's table using her baby's and tells them "sshhh it's ok I help you."  The other pictures are of her just being fun and cute.  What a blessing it is to have her in our life and the wonderful spirit she brings to our home.  We always have a good laugh each day with her!!!  We are so lucky to be her Mom and Dad.

Elder Romriell Gets Transfered

      Elder Romriell was in our area for 7 1/2 months and we had many discussions and dinners and laughs while he was here.  He was one of the Elders that helped teach the man Tyson baptized.  When he first came to the area he was very shy and did not say very much.  Very, Very, quiet...  There was major progression that happened in the time he was here.  He became more confident in himself and looked like he was ready to take more things on and not hesitate to talk to anyone.  We have been able to have the Elders in our home and feel of the spirit they bring with them.  We were glad to have met Elder Romriell and be apart of his mission.

Ava's Fun Dance/ Tumble Class

We signed Ava up for a dance/ tumble class that she totally loved.  She caught on very quick with the instructions and the dance moves.  She loved crawling around acting out different animals and running the obstacle courses that were made.  There were times were the parents were asked to join in and you can see us trying to show Ava how to do it.  After the class Ava got to go and swing on the swings in the park next to dance building.  She always looked forward to dance class and asked everyday if it was dancing time. 



Thursday

Visit from Mike & Grandpa Markham

Uncle Mike and Grandpa Markham came up to visit and to go to the ASU vs Oregon football game.  We were excited to have them and host them while they were here.  Ava got a present to open up from Grandma Mikki and Papa Tom that they brought with them.  Ava loved it but it did not suprise us that they put in a fake rat that looked pretty real.  We were able to have them stay and go to church with us and it so happend that Tyson was speaking in Sacrament.  Ava loved crawling over Papa Markham and sharing everyhing he had.  Loved having them here to visit.  Oct 2011
