Ava is Two!

We had Ava’s birthday party the same day as the baptism last weekend.  She received all kinds of fun gifts. I may be biased, but I think one of the best ones was the $7.00 card Al picked out for her to go along with our gift. It was a frog pop-up card that “sang” happy birthday in a frog’s voice. She loved it.

And what little girl can’t do without an AC/DC shirt? Thanks, Aunt Amy!

Although her mom says she’s going to be a cross county runner, she received a volleyball from the Thompson’s. Now Joe & I, Emily & Hailey will have to work to make sure she’s a volleyball player don’t you think?

She also really liked the baby stroller from Aunt Lauren & Uncle Joe.

And the tricycle and REALLY LOUD horn that Uncle Matt gave her

Aunt Jacque gave her a princess tent. After Craig got it put together, it was a hit with the girls…….

and with Joe…..

Joe also decided that the tractor was pretty fun

Ryleigh gave Ava a Bug Sprinkler with arms that sprayed water. Matt helped get it set up and we put both girls in their suits.  For some reason Matt had a hard time getting it set up because the sprinkler kept turning on and off.

And on and off…(sorry, baby). It was hot, you needed cooled off!

When it was finally set up, neither of the girls wanted to go into it. It was a super hot day, but they hadn’t really done the “sprinkler thing” before. Ryleigh REALLY didn’t like it after Matt sprinkled her!

They wanted to go into the water in the pond instead. They will get it figured out eventually I’m sure, but today wasn’t the day. 

It was a nice day for a birthday party.
