I like silence. It is nice to sit and enjoy the silence. And sometimes as I am enjoying the silence, I forget. What is it I forget? Well, I forget that I have a two year old darling in the other room. I forget that silence to her means two things. What are those things?
1. Sleeping
2. Finding something mischievous to do and being really,really extremely quite so I don't get caught.
Let's just say she did NOT fall asleep. Oh no, her Daddy-O found her in this silent state with a marker (thankfully a dry erase, but still a marker) coloring on her belly, her new pajamas, her dresser, and her pillows.
Someday she may learn to enjoy the silence as I do, but until then, I must beware of quiet little girls!

Birthday Fun
Two weekends ago was Baylor's, my niece, birthday party! She had it at Nothingbutfunkidz in Moore. They had a blast! They have a great play area, dress up room and lots of other fun things! (But it is not as cool as mine will be!) Here a few pics of our cutie girls!
Bouncing is so much fun!!!

Family Vacation
So, yes, I have been a blog slacker, but for a portion of my slacker time, I was on vacation. The fam and I went to San Antonio to experience Sea World together! We started our trip at 3am on Wednesday night thinking how brillant we were to travel through the night so our kiddos could sleep. UNTIL...my mom decides to be rather noisy as we load up the car! Noisy enough to wake my sweet little sleeper. So, as we head out , all three of us crammed in the backseat of my parents car, to conserve gas, we are confident that any minute she WILL fall asleep. But If you know Averi, you know she has a strong will. And that strong will only gave in for 1 hour of our 8 hour journey to San Antonio. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep either! But, we got there, and got some great deals at the Gap Outlet on the way, I might add!
We spent our first day in downtown San Antonio. Our first stop was the Children's Museum, which did have some great features I was envious of, but did not provide the length of entertainment we had hoped.
Really cool hang outs for the little ones by the aquarium and in the dream tent with stars all over the ceiling! Loved it!
Then we headed to the river walk. Rode the boat and such. The next day was our first day at Sea World!!! Woo Hoo! When we got there we learned the water park was open. Ave got to ride some fun water slides and I was taken back to childhood days at White Water Bay! Quite fun!
Averi also loved the log ride at Sea World!!!
And who doesn't love Shamu! I mean it is truly amazing that people ride on and swim with this enormous fish!
And we say farewell to our home in San Antonio and dreadfully cram in to the back of my parents car for a fun ride back to Oklahoma! :)

The First Haircut
So, I finally faced my biggest fear of never seeing a curl on the head of my sweet Ave Ave and took her for her first hair cut! The plan was to go to the mall and get our hair done together. I don't get my hair cut at the mall, but my impression was that the reason for mall salons is to welcome mall traffic. They were ALL full! It was a week night...wierd! So, we headed over to Ulta, which turned out to be delightful. Ashley, our stylist, just so happened to have a 3 year old daughter so she was an expert on the kid cut! 
She advised us to bring a lollipop for entertainment. Genius!
The finished product and she is still smiling! And...to my great delight, we still have curls!
And she was fully entertained while David and I got our hair done as well! And we all lived happily ever after the first hair cut!

Fall is coming!!!
This might just be the most thrilling time of year for me. I greatly anticipate the close of summer. I crave fall days at the park, my bare feet in cold grass, running to chase a frisbee which I am not coordinated to catch or throw. Then racing home to a nice home cooked meal with fresh basil from my front yard and a night ending in story time with hot cocoa (with marshmellows, of course) and for me, coffee. Doesn't that just stir something in you that makes you treasure these fall days! I love them! I also love that a change in season means Averi gets to wear all her new cloths that I have been collecting for the past year from the sale racks I love to frequent! Check her out in one of her new cutie dresses, all grown up and ready for school. Love this girl!!!

They get bigger!
So I will say I love the JBF Sale. We really got some great finds and I think it is a huge blessing to moms in our city! But each year as I'm dropping off my items, I get so sad because Ave is getting so big! I want her to stay this little girl forever! And on top of that depressing session, we are potty training! Which is wonderful...I'm not at all sad to part ways with diapers. BUT it all means she is getting bigger, and the truth about that is, I don't like it!
She is getting a bit more comedic in her old age of 2 and a half! In this potty training stretch we are definitely learning to talk to Jesus about everything...like poop. She will say,"Jesus, I really need to poop." And later will say, "Thank you Jesus for my poop." I guess I could learn a thing or two from her grateful and dependent spirit!
In closing, the JBF sale provided us with 3 princess babies that are my potty prizes in order not to rot her teeth by the age of 4! So when she goes for a few days with no accidents, she gets a baby. The goal is that when the babies are gone, she is trained! So far, so good. So on the way to Miss Becca's this week, I say, "Ave, remember to go to the big girl potty today, okay?" She says, "If I do I can have my yellow baby that's in the garage." I say, "If you do you can have your yellow baby. Her name is Belle." She says, "Does she ring?"
