Flashback Friday

Flashback Friday this week goes back to when Ava was 2 months old. This is one of my favorite outfits that she had. Plus, the picture of my dad and Ava is one of my all time favorites!



Ava's Fist Haircut

Yesterday Nana and I took Ava for her very first haircut. Her hair is not that long, but it has been growing in so crazy that I decided it was time for a little trim. I have been told by several people that a baby's first haircut gives the hair some encouragement to grow in thicker and not so baby fine. Ava's hair is growing and looks a little curly, but it has gotten so scraggly. I was completely prepared for the hysterics of the first haircut. Armed with my camera and camcorder, I was prepared to get some awesome crying pictures (anyone remember the Easter Bunny?) and just knew we were in for trouble. How surprised was I when my little girl got up in the chair and was calm as she could be. Very surprised I tell you! Of course, Laura bribed her with a sucker, which confused Ava because she couldn't decide how to eat it! Anyway, she did a fantastic job of not fussing and just took that haircut and even got a new hairbrush as a reward. Man, my baby is growing up...

Ava's visit with the Clydesdales

The Budweiser Clydesdales made a stop in Dyersburg last week and we took Ava to see them. When she saw them she said, "Is a horsie!" She wasn't aloud to touch them, but she enjoyed looking at them. It was very crowded and the horses were starting to get a little scared because of all the traffic (it wasn't blocked off well), but other than that it was cool to see them so close to home. So, I am posting a ton of pictures and sorry to all you guys with slower connections, but there were so many I could hardly chose. I love the horsie pictures!





















Every horse caravan needs a popper scooper crew. (Did I win the most random picture award or what?)

Sorry that I have been out for a while. I am in the middle of a SUPER busy couple of weeks at school. It should all be over on Wednesday so expect some posts at the end of the week!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Mother's Day!
