 Here are a few pics from our annual trip to Carolyn's Country Cousins in Liberty, MO.  It was a blistering 40 degrees and rainy, but we still managed to have some fun!  Can't wait to go back next year, take Cinderella, and get some more pumpkin donuts!  Mmmmmmmm :)

Ava turns {to} 5!

 

I can't believe Ava is 5!!  Where has the time gone?  At 5 years old, Ava is such a loving, caring little girl.  She has a big heart and sometimes sensitive feelings.  She is kind and funny, charming and beautiful, stubborn and witty, and definitely keeps us on our toes!  Her favorite shows are Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Doc McStuffins, and Max and Ruby.  Her favorite movies are Cinderella, Monsters, Inc, and anything Thomas and Friends!  Her favorite foods are bananas, mashed potatoes, banana bread, and tacos.  She doesn't like cheese or most red meats.  (weirdo)  Her best friend is our next door neighbor Jordan, who is 6.  She likes pink and dressing "stylish" but gravitates more towards boy toys, sports and plays with boys at preschool!  No Barbies for Ava (yet!)!  She is an excellent big sister and always asks to help with Aiden.  Ava's least favorite activity is picking up her toys, clothes, room, etc.  She listens to every word I say and sometimes uses those things against me!  ie.. the other day she told me "I'm not talking to you ANYMORE until you open your ears and listen!"  Yikes!!  She is such a joy to all of us, and we are so proud of her!  We love you Ava!!  It has been the pleasure of our lives watching you continue to grow.  We can't wait to see and hear what you'll come up with next :)  

bye until next week...
