Little Gym Champions

We are so proud of our girls! They had "show" week at Little Gym to end the semester and they did great! Ava was by far the best dancer in her group! She was so happy to have her family there to watch her and support her. She just smiled ear to ear and kept counting how many of her friends and family came to watch her recital.

Sophie did a great job hanging on the uneven bars and really likes her gold medal. She has worn it every day since the awards ceremony. She says, "medal" and then "hi-five."

I also included some pics of the girls being silly and of them roasting marshmallows for the first time on our fire pit. Ava had a hard time putting her marshmallow over the fire, she thought it was going to hurt the marshmallow.

Also, we are on the great hunt for Sophie's glasses. They have been M.I.A. for 3 days! We are hoping that she didn't throw them in the trash!?

Family Fun

We've been very busy these past two weeks............here are some pics showing what we've been up to!

We visited the new ride area of the zoo and Ava had a blast! They have a "Dumbo ride" just like at Disney World and she had her face painted. She insisted on getting the exact same face paint that she had last year at Cedar Point. What made me sad was the fact that Ava is now tall enough for the "big" pony at the pony rides, but she was very happy about it!

Then, Ava finished her first year of preschool last Thursday with an ice cream social. She will miss her friends and teachers this summer (and so will Sophia), so we've already started setting up playdates. The photos are of Ava & Claire, Ava & Garrett and Ava with Miss Kelly & Miss D.

Also, this past weekend NetJets hosted a Buckeye Family Day at Nationwide Arena, which was LOTS of fun. The girls dressed up in their Buckeye best and we played games and listened to a Buckeye update from Coach Tressel himself! Every time that he finished talking, Sophie would say, "Yeah...........Buckeye.......Yeah!" (I included a pic of Sophie watching Coach Tressel) When anyone would look at Ava (our confident 3 year old), she would say, "What are those people looking at? The cutest Buckeye Girl around?" :)

Ava is now preparing for her dance recital this weekend. She informed me that her whole family needs to be there including her boyfriend, Garrett (who I'm sure would rather watch paint dry than a dance recital) and her brother and sister. I reminded her that she doesn't have a brother, but her sister will be there. She said to me in a very serious manner, "Well, then maybe you guys can get me a brother." I hated to inform her that they don't have any of those at Target....
