Ava’s birthday is a three part celebration this year.
First, she spent the weekend in MI City with her cousins and had cake, piñata and beach time.
She went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast on her actual birthday. Then we went on the train to Millenium Park and she played in the fountain.
She is ending the birthday extravaganza at church with an ice cream cake and more!
Three never looked so good!
Summer nights are warm and lovely. We have been enjoyed the live music almost every Wed. night. Food, music, fish and ducks make for an awesome time!
The girls loved the sand and water in Michigan City! They could have spent the entire day soaking up the sun!
We’ve had many rainy days this month. However, any moment of dry weather we are outside! Both of these kids love being in the outdoors and never want to come inside!
Harlow rolled back to front just now! Sweet baby Harlow. You’re growing up so quickly!
Christine and the girls spent an awesome week in SLC and I joined them for the last 4 days and we had a blast. Ava loves to hike and spend every minute of the day outside and Harlow enjoys tagging along no matter where the day brings her.
Ava and Harlow enjoying a beautiful night and concert in Salt Lake City.
One day they will not let me dress them in the same outfits.
We showed our pride today at the festival! We danced, ate and hung out with many different cultures today. Proud to be Jewreans!
Ava is in her third week of gymnastic’s class and is a little athlete.
Dave and I want her to try everything and have her decide on her passion!
Harlow’s first taste of chicken was a success. She downed the soup like a champ. She definitely has a preference to veggies over fruit. She will eat sweeter fruits, but you can tell she doesn’t enjoy them as much as her veggies.
When Harlow hears Jak Jak King she instantly claps. She really is a happy baby and lights up and laughs when she sees Ava. She stares at her and loves Ava!
Mother’s Day weekend was spent in Madison this year. Amy and Bryce took us to the zoo and fished with us. Bryce did not disappoint and caught a fish!
Ava’s first time in a boat was awesome. She got right in and had so much fun. This kid is fearless.
Ava is all over the place all of the time. She is into everything and likes to do things she isn’t supposed to be doing. She gets a kick out of it!
Ava is all over her sister too! She loves her so much. When Ava wakes up, the first thing she does is say hi to Harlow!
Harlow has a face that needs to be kissed all day long! She is a calm baby who giggles when you kiss her on the neck. Her nickname is blueberry because of her perfectly round face and pudgy cheeks.
Harlow enjoys apples, blueberries, pears, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower and yellow squash. She recently started disliking peas.
Harlow rolled from tummy to back on April 1, 2015.
She can sit up by herself for a short time now.
Harlow uses both hands really well and is grabbing everything within reach.
Gosh, we love her!
I cannot kiss this baby enough times! Harlow gets sweeter every day. She is a fun-loving, kind baby who is happy and sweet. She rolled over from tummy to back just shy of her 6 month birthday.
In the morning she is extra chatty. The look on her face when she sees me is pure joy for both of us.
She lights up for Ava and Dave too! This one loves her family and she gives it right back to us!
Moab is a beautiful city. Blue sky and natural rock formations are just the beginning!
We hiked up to the Delicate Arch which took us abou 1.5 hours round trip.
The first 30 minutes is a climb, which Dave hiked with Ava on his back while she took a nap. Big props to him for making it up with an extra 42 plus pounds on his back.
The view when we arrived to the arch was one we will always remember!
The Red Cliffs Lodge sits on the Colorado River and had horses on premise. Waking up to the quiet mountain air is the way to live. Ava really enjoyed all this place offered.
Harlow and I would get up before Dave and Ava every morning and had breakfast together. We then would walk around the lodge and snap a few photos. Harlow always took a nap in the Ergo while breathing in the fresh mountain air. I loved this alone time with her in the morning.
Looking forward to our next Utah adventure!
H Rock and City Creek have been conquered. What’s next on the hiking menu?
The weather here is perfect! We have gone on a family hike every day. Grandma and grandpa are amazing hikers
The girls and I spent a morning at the Hogle Zoo. Animals, popcorn and carousel were a huge hit. Harlow spent half of the time watching the animals and the other half sleeping.
Ava and Harlow are naturals when it comes to hiking. H Rock was a blast.
Ava has loved spending time with all of the animals here. Part of her morning job is to feed the chicken.
