Ava turns 7!!!

Ava turned 7 and we can hardly believe it! Where does all the time go? All she wanted for her birthday breakfast was an Egg McMuffin from McDonalds! It was so awesome because Ty just ran out and got breakfast for all of us, so I didn't have to cook anything!

One of Ava's favorite present was her first sewing machine! It is really tiny, but it works pretty well actually. She has been wanting to learn how to sew like her grandma, so we thought we would try this little machine out first to make sure she liked it, then she could upgrade to a bigger one. Its perfect for her right now and she loves it so much!

It is a tradition for Ava to go to Wingers every year for her birthday. She just loves the asphalt pie so much, she pretty much eats all of it. I think I got 1 bite!

I had to throw in a picture of Owen so you know he is still in our family!

Reflections Winner!

I am about 1 1/2 months late posting this, but....Ava won 2nd place in the literature category in Reflections this year! We were so proud of her because we kind of forgot about it and made her write a quick poem the night before. She works pretty well under pressure and it payed off! I am such a good mom and didn't make a copy of her poem, so I don't have it to share with you. She moved on to District and so they kept her original draft. As soon as I get it back, I will post it on here. It is really cute. She got a journal and some notepads, along with a certificate for her win, and she was very pleased!

Ava's friend Abby won also, and I think she also created hers last minute. I'm thinking procrastination is the way to go!

Thanks for coming Nanny!
