random/zoo

aven's favorite place to play at my mom's is under the bathroom sink. she loves pretending to put on makeup and will come out with multiple barrettes in what little hair she has.

the knoxville zoo has a kids area where they can help with the animals and her favorite were the goats and sheep. she loved to help brush them, although i think she scared them more than she assisted with their grooming!

family reunion in north carolina

went to north carolina to visit with family and aven had a great time playing ball and hula-hooping. what a laugh!!

enjoying the day at the lakehouse

aven and i enjoyed relaxing at the lakehouse with ms. jackie and helping get ready for a dinner party- although i think aven enjoyed playing in the sand bowls most of all. it was a beautiful day and i think these pics of her and i are my new favorites.

savannah sunset/storm

just thought these were cool pictures of the sunset and the sky right before it started storming.

chuck e. cheese

we went to chuck e. cheese with grandma belinda, aunt melina, cousin savannah and cousin stephan. this was aven's first visit and she couldn't decide which way to go. she wanted to play with everything but is still just a little too small. she had a blast anyway.

out for seafood

here are some pics from our seafood dinner with my uncle tommy and aunt nellie.

aven at the park in morristown

my mom and i took aven to the park to have breakfast and she had fun having the playground all to herself. **notice the ketchup on her face from her hashbrowns :) it's kindof crazy for her to play on the same playground i played on as a kid. never thought that would ever happen. how the world can suprise you!!
