Hurry Home, Daddy!

The past few days Ava has loved standing at the window waiting for Daddy! I raised the blinds for her yesterday and told her to watch for Daddy. She stood there with her little nose pressed to the window for the longest time! She LOVES her daddy!

Daddy's Little Helper

So I guess my extreme love of organization has rubbed off on the rest of my family...

David got a little help from his favorite helper "organizing" the freezer.

Ava is very proud of her work!!

Go Tarheels!

I have to admit that I have not been very into watching Carolina play this year. But when March Madness rolls around it's hard not to get a little competitive. Ava really got into the spirit on Sunday and wanted to wear her cheerleader outfit to church. I think she was the best dressed person there!
Little sidenote...Yes my husband is still a State fan. I have laid this outfit out for church many times and he has refused to let Ava wear it. However, State has not given him too much to cheer for so on Sunday he gave in! :)

Oops!

Somehow I left out my favorite Disney picture...

Ava loved waving and blowing kisses to Donald from far away but when he came over to our table...WHAAAAA!!!!!

Ava's 1st Disney Trip!

Sadly we are back from Ava's 1st Disney trip! We had a GREAT time!! I had seriously been planning this trip since the moment I found out I was pregnant! We left on Friday morning at 4 am. (I was up at 2:30..too excited to sleep!) My dad, "Grandman", rode down with us and stayed the first couple of nights to babysit Ava so David and I could go out at night. He was a HUGE help and we were so glad he could come along! We stayed at Coronado Springs which has become David's new favorite hotel. This is one of Disney's huge convention center hotels so they have a huge fitness center where David and my dad spent a lot of time. ( I never set foot in it...I was on vacation!)
Ava loved the parades! She was so cute waving to everyone and everything that passed by. We thought she would do really well at the character meals because she was loving the characters from far away. Umm..not so much. You will have to check out the pictures below to see what I mean!
She really loved the rides and some shows. I think her favorites were the Playhouse Disney show, Dumbo, and the carousel with Daddy! (I let David take her on this alone because I always remember my dad taking me on the carousel. Kind of a daddy-daughter special thing!)
She also LOVED playing in the sandbox at our resort. David and I are now looking into getting her a sandbox for home. It was so fun watching her play in the sand. She didn't mind getting dirty AT ALL!
Believe it or not we are already talking about our next Disney trip. (I guess that's not too hard to believe, uh?) We are hoping to take a big family trip with the Bolin's, Gigi and Grandman in the fall. I always have to have an idea of when I will be going back to Disney so coming home isn't so sad! :)
Here are some pictures from our trip...
