Ayva getting ready to hit the ball with her new tee-ball set, also a b-day present!
This summer has been particularly good to me! We've had Ayva's birthday party, trips to the local beach... We put up one of those Kwik-set pools, which is pretty big, (small to adults) but perfect for the kiddos. Ayva has overcome her fear of water and is becoming quite the little swimmer! She even gets up on the ladder and does this jump that can only be compared to a flying squirrel!! The other day, she had her 5-year check-up/physical for Kindergarten and she did very well! After that, we went school shopping, she is definitely going to be the most stylin' little chica in Kindergarten, lol! Yesterday, Ayva and I went to CVS and printed out a TON of pictures and we made a scrapbook, for her. (she got a Hello! Kitty scrapbook kit for being a good girl at the Dr. and getting a shot)! I told her to include all the people she loves and we made a page for everyone. She picked in order...Kelsey, Cameron, Poppy, Me-me, Ron, Mommy, Uncle Mark (Ron's Brother), Uncle Ken (Ron's other brother), Grandpa and Stacey (Ron's father and step-mother), Daddy, Uncle Kody (my brother), her cousins Shaylah, Sebastien, Jestyn and Braxtyn, Aunt Alycia and Uncle Marky (My sister and her fiance). LOL...I;m just glad I made it in! We had a lot of fun cutting up pictures and decorating the pages. It came out super cute, and she wants to bring it for show-and-tell in Kindergarten. Yesterday, I also taught her how to tie her shoes! She was getting so frustrated then we started singing this song from Yo! Gabba Gabba! "Keep trying, keep trying, Don't give up, don't give up!" LOL it really did work, because by 9:30 last night she had it and she called my dad, her Poppy to tell him and she even called my mom, her Me-Me at work to tell her! Ayva amazes me more and more everyday! I love her so much!
This weekend, Ron and I are taking our annual trip to the Syracuse Nationals Car Show (we have gone every summer since we started dating, so this will be our fourth rip!) I can't wait, because this year, we both have arranged to have no kids and booked a hotel room for Saturday night!! We NEVER get any alone time, so I am so excited!! Ayva will be having a weekend sleepover with her Aunt KaSandra, (my best friend since the womb) and I know she will have an amazing time! Kelsey and Cam will with be with their mothers. And to make things even better...in two weeks, we have planned a family vacation to Hampton Beach! I am SUPER excited! I can't wait for Ayva to see the ocean! And I have REALLY been craving some salt water and sand in the worst way!!! I haven't been to the ocean since my trip to Florida in the summer of 2004! It's been WAY too long!
All in all, this summer is looking pretty good, I've been staying busy, which is good, because when I have nothing to do, I go crazy!! Well...chat with you all soon!!

I LOVE that you post so many adorable pictures here...It helps me put all the names and faces together...Just WAIT until I learn how to master my new camera-ha!...I love that Ayva can now tie her shoes b/c I can't tell you how many of my first graders can't...My best friend Cindy goes to Lake George with her family every year...They are there right now, in fact!...The Hampton vacation is something that you and Ron deserve....It's great to connect as a couple rather than as parents...When are you going there??? ... Chat soon, A
ReplyDeleteso, it's time for you to return to Florida...AND do you have a tattoo around your belly button? I'm sensing a story there...or a future post!
