Ava is a Preschool Graduate!!





Tonight was Ava's preschool graduation. She did a FANTASTIC job singing, "You're a Grand Ole Flag," "Kindergarten Here We Come," and "God Bless America." She received a diploma, wore a white cap and we got a time capsule that she put together (including the letter we wrote to her about our hopes/dreams for her and what we love about her) and any fun memories from this past year and we are not supposed to open the capsule until her High School graduation. Ava has told us she either wants to be a cowgirl or an animal doctor when she grows up.

Happy Mother's Day 2009



We had a great day today and I am one lucky mommy! Here are a few pictures of us at Buckeye Lake for lunch today and a picture of Ava's last soccer game. Her team would definitely deserve the "most improved" and her coach said that he really enjoyed coaching Ava. She is so sweet and was always eager to play. We are VERY proud of her!
Ava has been so sweet all weekend telling me how much she loves me and even wrote Happy Mother's Day in the driveway with chalk. Sophie told me she loves me 62 times :)
We came home from lunch and planted flowers together too! A great weekend indeed!
Here's a bonus pic with daddy........
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!

Dress up days








The girls have had several opportunities to dress up lately, which has made Ava happy. They had dancing pictures taken this week and today was the Mother's Day tea at preschool. Ava made me a really cute tote bag with her handprint, a baby jar with dried flowers and mulberry scent, a box of candy and wrote a note saying she thinks I'm most beautiful when I wear dresses and I make her laugh when I make silly faces :) The best part was when she turned to me and said, "mom, you're the best mom in the whole wide world" :)
Here are a few highlights!
