Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween,  Ava had a Halloween celebration at Ms. Diane's house with her friends. She was a cupcake!  That night we made a Jack-O-Lantern.  Ava and I cleaned the pumpkin out and Steve carved it.  She had a lot of fun greeting the Trick-or-Treaters!

This Year!!

Last Year....

Wow~ What a 

difference a year makes!

World Series 2012-Go Giants!!!

While hanging out at the Gallaty's and being the cutest Giant's cheerleader ever, Ava also took her first shot (of whipped cream).  Thanks Auntie Ash!

GO GIANTS!!!

Open Wide!

"Hmmm, that was pretty good...."

"Heck yeah, I'll have another : )"

Casa De Fun!

We went camping with the Noteware's at Casa De Fruta!  We got to go on the carousel, the train ride, the park, and bike riding in Ava's new bike trailer.  The kids loved it! It was also our first camping trip where the kids went to bed at the same time, so the adults had a game night.  It was a great weekend! 

The "Farm" Pumpkin Patch, SLO

We went to SLO to visit the family and the Pumpkin Patch at the Farm.  Ava enjoyed running around in her cupcake costume and visiting with everyone!

Salinas Air Show, Sept. 2012

Pop-Pops treated us to a nice day at the air show.  Ava got to see many planes, helicopters, the Canadian Snowbirds in the air show, and a monster truck show.  It was a little loud for her, but a nice day : )

We have a walker!

Ava is officially walking!  She got her first pair of "grippy" shoes from Stride Rite and off she went.  Check it out!

Her beginner steps......

 

Now, she's practically an expert : )

Camping at Lake Berryessa!

We had a great weekend with the family camping at Canyon Creek this weekend.  Ava got to drive Daddy's big truck and hang out with Ethan and her cousin Behan! They even went swimming in the freezing, cold pool!
