My Pretty Girl

Ava loves my make-up, specifically my lipstick. Pretty sure I don't own one thing of lipstick now that hasn't been squashed down to a nub.

This day though, she just looked so cute I couldn't be mad. Although lets be honest, I really never get mad at her when she plays with my make-up. I get such a kick out of it! She's such a little monkey and pretends to put it on in the same exact order that I do. It's really only the lipstick she actually puts on...as evidenced below......

When I caught her with my lipstick she just just kept saying, "so pretty, so pretty."

Haha, okay Ava. SO pretty.

February

Jeff taking a study break with Will. Will obviously not as into it as Jeff lol

Ava fell and hit her right eye :(

We both cried.

We went on a lot of family walks. The weather is just glorious here in the winter.

Rocking her jeans and pig tails :)

She still just loves her cousin Will

We made sugar cookies. It was an awesome mess and a really good time.

Cousin Love

My wild child

Sometimes the kids attack Jeff

Looking so big!

She can climb ANYTHING

lil' sassy

Cereal buddies for life

One day she insisted on napping with her soccer ball. It was adorable.

Apple Munch

Love her.

Love her pigtails,

Love her squishy body

Love her little apple bite marks

Love her big brown eyes

In conclusion, I love this munch.

Cereal Buddies

Jeff's rarely still here in the mornings when Ava wakes up, but in January there were a few weeks where he didn't have to be anywhere.

Ava inherited her father's love of cereal as well as his penchant for stealing other people's food.

It's a good thing her Dad likes to share :)

Tiny Dance

I'm not sure why, but one day when Ava put on her sunglasses with her pigtails and little round face she looked just like Elton John to me.

^^^Rights???! or am I crazy?

January

Yikes. yikesyikesyikes. I am so far behind. My goal this week is to get caught up with this blog. Wish me luck!

All of these pictures were taken way back in January..... starting with our drive home from Vegas. We ended up leaving a day early to beat a snow storm coming in that would've hit us along our way home. So glad we missed it! The road between Vegas and Mesa is not my favorite. Definitely not a place I want to get stuck.

Road trips are hard with a toddler are hard.

An hour outside of Mesa, Ava was pitching a major fit so we stopped at a gas station and let the munch have her very own fountain drink full of watered down sprite.

Kept her occupied until we got home.

Awesome parenting....check!

Later that week Ava and I were strolling around the mall and I got a kick out of this giant duck. Ava liked it too.

I have horrible eyes, but Ava takes after me at least we know she'll be a major cutie.

Target run with a stop in the hat section. Ava loves hats. Don't let her stare fool you.

Finger painting in your diaper in January?

Arizona, we love you.

Ava loves to run in and go night night in Grandpa's bed

The little munch got sick.

Lots of cuddles were in order.

Will got a new bike, and Ava desperately wanted this helmet.

It was a real shame we didn't get it for her. lol

Ava sporting some pig tails

In January our wards hadn't split yet and we had 2:00 PM church

....this was a little difficult with this toddler.

Our new home! We really dig January in AZ. The weather was absolutely perfect and the sunsets were fabulous. We are definitely getting used to living here.
