Ava at 11 weeks old

These pictures were taken of Ava on Sunday. She was supposed to be dedicated at church on Sunday, but Bradley was sick. I got up early to get ready and cook breakfast for everyone. It was so yummy (thanks to my mom and dad for helping) and I told everyone don't expect another breakfast when the next dedication day rolls around. It was a lot of work!

Needless to say, we were all dressed up for nothing. She does look awfully cute in these pictures though! The first picture is of Ava and Aunt Bethany.

Hall-o-weenie Roast




On Saturday we hosted a Hall-o-weenie roast here at our house. We wanted to start a tradition so that everyone could get together and those that live far away could see Ava in her Halloween costume. My mom, dad, and brother came and Bradley's mom, dad, and sister came. We started out around 2 with some snacks and then headed outside for some badminton and pumpkin carving.


At dusk, we started a fire and roasted weenies and had s'mores. Throughout the day Ava also changed clothes and showed off several costumes. After eating, we headed inside for some karoake fun. One word to describe it: HILARIOUS! I was rolling with laughter and so was everyone else. Joe stole the show with his version of Hound Dog and won the prize for the Singing Star. Even Nick did a little singing!

As for the pumpkins, my dad won the prize for best pumpkin. It looks fantastic.
