A Girl and Her Phone

Ava is fascinated by our cell phones and house phone. Any chance she gets, she grabs one and while running, starts pushing buttons, then puts it up to her ear and starts talking. She now starts most of her calls with Hello and ends them with Good-bye.


It is really scary how young they start watching everything you do and try to mimic it.


These pictures we're taking during our Utah trip while we were at the hotel's pool

Utah Adventures - Scott, Ameya and Ava

While I was attending Women's Conference, Scott and the girls did some fun activities in Salt Lake City. On Saturday I joined the gang and we went to a history museum where there are were of hands-on exhibits for the girls.

Women's Conference

I had a chance to go to Women's Conference again this year. The theme was Strength in the Lord. For two days, I got to hear wonderful speakers and be surrounded by a lot of women. There is definitely strength in numbers. I had a great time and am so grateful that I could attend.

First Snowman of the Season

We have had hardly any snow this winter season and nothing good for a snowman. But a couple weeks back we got some nice wet spring snow. It was the first time the gang could go out and make a snowman. And good thing it was done in the morning because the afternoon sun melted it almost all way. By 2:00pm, our yard was bare of snow except for our fun snowy friend.

Ava - Helping Herself

Scott came down the stairs the other day and found Ava on the table.


She doesn't like drinking out of her cups very often. She sees us drinking out of the 'big' cups and that's what she wants. If we leave any out on the table, Ava is grabbing for them or as you can see, climbing up and getting them.

Ava - A Different View

So you will see from these pictures, a big difference between Scott getting Ava ready and me getting Ava ready. I must be a hippie at heart.


Ava likes to come into my office and sit on the chair across from me. When she is not trying to type on my laptop, she brings in her stool and sees what she can grab from my desk. In this case, she snagged my Altoids.


This is not the first time she has done it, so she is over the initial shock and strength of the mints. I don't know how many she already had in her mouth by the time I took the picture but her checks are full.


hmmmmm - Fresh Breath.

Ava - New Hair Do

I know, can you believe it? I am finally doing an update.

Ava and Ameya are doing great and as you have already guessed, we are keeping very busy. I'll try to add a few updates this week with pictures of our happenings from the past 3 months.

Ava is 19 months old - turning 20 months on April 4th. She weights 22 pounds and is our dancing and jumping bean. She is very active and we have her enrolled in a tumbling class at The Little Gym. She is definitely a dare devil.


Now that Ava's hair has gotten a bit longer, Scott loves putting it in ponytails.


I worry that the ponytails are too tight so I don't like the style as much....or maybe it is really because it makes Ava look more grown-up instead of my little baby. Time is flying by but each stage of her development has been a blast and a fun discovery for all of us.
