Poor Bee

The other day I was loading the girls into the car for a trip to the grocery store. While taking some stuff out of the trunk I noticed that there were two bees flying around the rear of the car. I knocked them out of the air and then stepped on them before they could get back in the air. Ava was not impressed. She said, "DAAAaaaaD! They just want to fly!" She gave me a hard time for the next several minutes and even told on me to Doni when she came out to the car.

When we got back home I started unloading the back of the car. Ava went looking for the bees that I had mercilessly killed. When she found one, she bent over it and said, "Aww, poor bee." After a moment of reflection, she stood up straight, lifted her right leg high into the air, and STOMPED the smithereens out of the bee's carcass. I'm don't think she understood why I spent the next several minutes laughing.

Night-time Prayers

When we lay Ava down for bed we have a routine. First, we'll say the whole "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer. Then, we'll all say "God bless..." and Ava will give a name. We'll repeat it, and then go back to "God bless". For some reason Mommy always gets the first God Bless. Second usually comes "Schwimmin" (aka swimming). Somewhere after that comes Ellie, Sassy, and Daddy. "Ava!" always comes last and is said with more excitement and gumption.

Tonight when we were going through our God Bless-es Ava improvised. Right on cue after "God Bless" she farted really loud and said "THAT WAS ME!" Somehow we were able to stop laughing, pull it together, and get the rest of the way through our prayer. Ava may look just like her mother, but sometimes she acts just like her father.

New Computer

We finally broke down and bought a new computer so here are a bunch of pictures to catch you up.When Ava makes it to the potty for number 2 she gets a present and this time it was Disney princess fingernails.I was trying to take Ellie's 4 month picture and Sassy wanted in the shot. Sunday hats!
Ellie loves her peaches! She started eating cereal after her 4 month checkup. She hated the stuff but once we started introducing foods the icky face went away and she is all smiles.

She also loves her sweet potatoes. The girls watching TV. I couldn't get them both to look but I could get them to watch TV at the same time.

Lastly, Ellie's learned how to roll!
