Ava's birthday

Right in the middle of summer we celebrated Ava turning two.  

It was hot.  And windy.  But we had Icee Pops and Capri Suns...and kids just don't seem to care.  As I've mentioned before, in an effort to be positive about our suffering summer, at least we didn't have any bugs to deal with!

Aren't big brothers helpful?  Cannon is always eager to help anyone blow out their candles, and as you can see Jack is too!  Pretty cute.

The sea of humanity swarming Mr. Ryan wanting their candy!!

Ava Patrice and Ava Maria

These two stinkers!  Everything they do together is a hoot, even when they are mad at each other.  On this day, maybe because it was her birthday,  they were best of friends.

She loved, loved, loved her balloons-ALL of them.  There was no handing them out, no sharing, even with siblings.  They were hers and hers alone.

One of her gifts were fuzzy duck feet...she was fascinated with them!
