"Avaisms" & Aubrey Moments

I have a couple today:

1) Ava asked me if I could take Aubrey back to the store and get a brother like Alex instead. I explained to her that Aubrey follows her everywhere because she loves her and they will be best friends forever. She decided she wanted to keep her sister.

2) She was getting disciplined by daddy at the dinner table and to try and make a point, daddy slammed down is fist on the table to get her attention. In return, Ava slammed her fist on the table. I ruined it by busting out laughing....I could not contain myself!

3) The refrigerator is officially called the "foodgerator". Makes sense to me!

Aubrey climbed up the two stairs in the playroom and did the monkey climb up my legs today!

Today we painted a birdhouse, went to playgroup and baked cupcakes. I love my days off with my doodlebug and sunshine!

Our "New Addition"

Today we added to our brood! Introducing, Ronix Diesch! He is a black lab, male, 8 weeks old. Anthony and I drove to Tomball to get him as he comes from field champion bloodlines. (Important to Anthony who will duck hunt with him!) We left Ava and Aubrey with Papa, Gigi & Harmony and told Ava that when we come back we had a BIG SURPRISE for her. On the four hour drive home, Ronix laid in my lap the entire time.

Introducing Ronix

I walked in the house before Anthony and got the camera and Ava ready. Anthony walked up with Ronix wrapped in a towel. Ava unwrapped the towel and was very surprised and excited!

I wonder what daddy has for me?

"A doggy....I love him!"

Ronix took to Ava immediately, and thought Aubrey was his toy....he really liked Aubrey's hands and toes!

Eating Aubrey's hand

Waiting for his "master" to give him a command. Ava is saying "I love him!"

Sweetest picture-buddies forever!

Ava asked to sleep with Ronix in his kennel......

Taking a nap together

We took Ronix to "doggy school" the next day for head start training which means they will work on potty training and some basic commands. He will be there for 4 weeks. Luckily it is 5 miles down the road so we can visit him frequently. He seems to have a wonderful disposition and will be well loved by our family and great company to Mr. Bay who has been very lonely since Berkeley went to heaven!

We did have a little sad moment today. Ava was watering the plants to give them a "drink" and she got stung by a wasp. Poor baby girl. This upset her soooo much. She allowed me to put ice on it as I convinced her that I was a good nurse and this was my job (I don't think she quite understands that I am a nurse!). With a little benadryl cream and lots of TLC (and no allergic reaction-thank you Jesus) we got through our first sting. Ronix made it feel better with several puppy breath infused kisses!

Wasp bite....poor baby

Sneak Peek!

Aubrey had her 9 months pictures done and here is a sneak peek! She looked so precious in her petticoat, pearls and flower headband. I don't know how we are going to choose!

"Avaisms"

Ava woke up this morning and came into my bathroom were I was getting ready for work. This was our conversation:

 Ava: Good morning momma!

Me: Good morning Ava. Did you sleep good?

Ava: Yes. I dreamed of Buddy and Berkeley!

Me: Was it a good dream? What were they doing?

Ava: They were in heaven reading books. They love books!

Me: That sounds like fun.

Ava: When I get bigger I am going to have a big booty like you!

What in the world? Where does she get this stuff? It made me laugh so hard. I love that girl!

Swim party

Today we had a swim play date or as Ava called it a "swim party" at Gigi and Papa's house. It is the only way we could be outside in the 104 degree heat. We had so much fun with sweet friends!

Thanks Papa and Gigi for hosting the super fun swim party!
