happy birthday auntie toon-toon...hope you had a special day full of fun and surprises! yes, i know, every day is a birthday post...july is just full of celebrations for us!!!

we had another busy day today. this is how it began...ava and zack snuggled up on the couch. we are watching my dad and maryann's puppies while they are on vaca. zoe was still pouting about being left behind, but zack is all about snuggles on the couch...don't worry, though, zoe finally emerged later this afternoon and had some snuggles and playtime!

ava got a super special birthday package in the mail today from landon, heather, and david! when we were visiting with them last week, ava fell in love with these little wooden cars and ramp that landon had. such a sweet surprise to get her very own in the mail! ya'll made her day, she played with them all afternoon...on the ramp, on the couch, pushed the cars in her stroller...she absolutly LOVES them! thank you so much for thinking of her, you are so thoughtful! (we still have one pink nail from our trip to see nonna at the salon...she may have to fix this when she keeps ava on monday!)
told ya...on the couch
she wouldn't let them go...

we spent some time with grams and popo this afternoon swimming and going to lunch. ava is such a summertime girl! she just loves to swim! i think she is just the absolute cutest thing i have ever seen! oh how i adore baby legs!

she loves being tossed up in the air...and believe me, it's definitly a work out for the tosser!

ava loves to float...when she wants to she refers to this as "princess"...such a silly girl!

so many people made our day so wonderful! we hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of july!!
