Playing at Isaac's house

I got the coolest cousin ever. He is so silly he makes me laugh. And he likes to play in the dirt and plants like I do. We tore up Uncle Patrick's back yard. It was the best time ever!

Ava's new bedroom

The princess and the lady bug

Yesterday at Cracker Barrel, my BFF Jordan and I both got the hippest costumes ever to wear this Halloween. I'm going to be a fairy fairy princess and Jordan is going to be a lady bug. As we tried out our costumes this morning, Mommy beamed that there has never been a more adorable princess or lady bug before.

Volleyball Party

This Labor Day weekend Mommy and Daddy threw their 6th Annual Volleyball party and it was the funnest party ever!!!!!!!! I wore myself out playing with my buddies all weekend. Here I am with Jordan and Jayden in my little red wagon.

We played for hours in a tent up in the bonus room.

Jordan, Reezie, Jayden, and I - chillin' in my lagoon style pool.

I even got to hang with my friends Elle and Leyton. I wish I wasn't so pouty in this picture, but I was beat. Not even my favorite "Princess Dress" could pull me out of my funk (I beg Mommy to dress me in that outfit every day).

Finally...

It's been a crazy few weeks. Mommy, Daddy, and I moved to Gallatin, TN - Mommy's hometown to be near Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Isaac, Iris, Lorraine, and Patrick. And some of Mommy's bestest friends and their babies live right around the corner! Daddy started work as a social worker/marketing sales rep for Trinity Hospice the Monday following our weekend move. Mommy's been interviewing for various positions - but hasn't officially received any offers yet. Although she is eager to gain employment, she has enjoyed having time off to unpack and organize our new house. This house rocks - I absolutely love the big jacuzzi tub in Mommy's and Daddy's bathroom. I also love escaping up the stairs to the big room above the garage where Mommy's old toys are (thanks Mawmaw for keeping so many of them!) My room is amazing. Mawmaw painted it even more fabulous than before! I have so many amazing murals painted on my walls. Stay tuned for more pictures!

Grammie and Grampa Wright

Grammie and Grampa Wright visited me several weekends ago. My favorite activities were playing at the park and visiting the Tennessee Aquarium. I especially loved the butterfly and the penguin exhibits.

Puffy-eye speaks

Puffy-eye sleeps

 

I got a bug bite today that made my eye swell up. So Mommy gave me benadryl right before my nap to take the swelling and itching down. I ate my sandwich (while chattering to Mommy) then quickly decided it was a fine time to catch a few winks!

4th of July Dance-Off

Jordan is definitely my silliest, bestest friend

We celebrated the 4th of July by boogying until we both fell down!

Its takes a lot of energy to throw a party.....

But I took it on and it was crrraaaaazy...

The music was jammin' and I was slammin'....

Until the car started up and instantly sedated me. Oh, well - maybe I'll throw a party in Lala Land...

Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend I got to practice my swim strokes in my BFF's pool. Jordan and I have been taking swimming lessons together and I must say, we've gotten pretty skilled.

Taking time out for a little snack break does a lot for our water-logged bodies.

New York Pics - maybe they'll stay up...

New York City!!!

Mommy and Daddy's first vacation without me! They went to New York City to celebrate Mommy's graduation and their 7th wedding anniversary. Hey - I didn't mind; I had Mawmaw and Pawpaw to entertain me for a long weekend. I think I wore Mawmaw out. Whenever she started to relax - I would quickly clap my hands together and whine annoyingly until she guessed what I wanted. It was endless fun. Anyway - here's some pics of Mommy and Daddy's vacation. She insisted they be posted. Check back later for the good stuff - more pictures and videos of moi.

Happy Birthday Mawmaw!!!

Momma finally graduates!!!!!

After four long years of heavy study, arduous paper writing, and endless projects, my mommy finally graduated with her Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology last Saturday. (I entered the world near the end of her program - so I gifted her a 9 month maternity break before returning last fall to finish.)

Now we get to play all summer long and every summer from now on!!!!!!

I'm reflecting on my own future, in this photo. "Hmm... maybe I'll follow in Mommy's footsteps and become a School Psychologist, too!!!!"

Mommy wants to give a special thanks to Daddy, Pawpaw, Mawmaw, Uncle Patrick, Aunt Lorraine, and cousin Isaac for making the trip to Chatty for her graduation. I saw tears in her eyes a few times and thought she was sad - but she said it was because she was so happy that her family was here to see her graduate. And that she was finally done with school!!!!
