Here are some pictures from last week through today. We started our new job at Gymboree so we are trying to get into the swing of that. Ava has such a good time when we are there. She gets to play with so many kids of all different ages. Enjoy the pictures and take care!

Here are some pictures of her playing in her ball pit and play house. She has so much fun in both of them (as you can tell)!!Our little monkey...Ava decided that she would try to climb the baby gate by pushing Grant's box of school books up to the gate. I don't know how she did it because the box was pretty heavy but she did! Obviously, she still couldn't make it over :) On Thursday, Mommy had just about had enough and threw her away! She actually liked being in the trashcan though...she's such a terd!

These pictures are from today (Tuesday) at Gymboree. Obviously, you can tell she was being a stinker. This is one of her new faces...pretty scary, huh?

We hope you enjoyed the pictures. I will update again in a week or so...hopefully!

Love,

Grant, Christin & Ava

Here are the last batch of pictures that I uploaded from my camera. These go back to July 28 up to the present! I will try to update them every couple of days from now on but I know I've said that before! Enjoy the pictures!

On Saturday, July 28, we entered Ava into the Hendricks County Baby Contest. She didn't win but we definitely thought she should have! Here she is being a ham before it was her turn to go before the judges!

The next night after bath Ava was being silly so we decided to get out the camera. She is such a turkey!

On July 30 Mommy and Ava went to Play Gym. We try to go pretty often on Mondays but we may not go so much since we will be working there now. We will be working Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00-1:00. We start tomorrow and can't wait!
Here is Ava in her actual Gymboree class on Wednesay, August 1. She is starting to be so independent...it's kinda sad!


On Thursday, August 2nd we met Sarah and Luke at the Children's Musuem. The kiddos had a great time playing together in PlayScape!

That night Mommy, Daddy and Ava went to Play Gym and then we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse.

On Thursay, August 9th, we went to a play date with the Avon Playgroup at Bouncertown in Greenwood. Ava didn't like the bouncer too well. She was pretty scared!

Here is a picture of Ava playing in her ball pit...Mommy got in with her...that was interesting!

This past week we got the baby's room ready. Daddy wanted to get it done before school starts, which is tomorrow. The room is painted and the changing table and dresser are up. We just to need wait and find out if it's a boy or girl so we can decorate! We can't wait! Ava was such a big "help" when Daddy was putting the furniture together!

This past Saturday, we went to the Duke's house. We had great time swimming. Ava is such a little fish. We can't wait until swim lessons start again!

On Tuesday, August 14th at 10:45pm Aunt Kasie gave birth to Ava's first cousin! His name is Camden Charles. He was 7lbs. 6oz. and 19.5 in. long. On Sunday, we went to ISU to visit with Kasie, Justin and Baby Camden. Ava got to hold the baby for the first time. At first she acted scared of him but I guess she decided he was "ok". Hopefully, we will get to see him again soon!

Love,

Grant, Christin & Ava

Sorry...it's been FOREVER!

Hello everyone! We've had a really busy summer so I haven't got a chance to update everything. We've had a vacation, 3 birthdays and added a new family member since the last time I have updated. I will try to do my best to catch everyone up but it will mostly just be pictures! Enjoy!

Here is a picture from the night we left for Cooperstown, New York for Dillon's Baseball tournament. Ava was so good during the drive and was really good the entire week!

Here she is making a mess in the condo in Cooperstown...all those people staying in the condo and no one was watching her...hmm...Here she is on the way to Opening Ceremonies at the All Star Villiage where Dillon's tournament was. She wore her visor all week and LOVED it!She loved cheering Dillon on at his games...here she is clapping after a good play! Here is a picture of the fields from the very top of the mountain...we were WAY in the mountains...Kasie and I had a great time walking up and down the mountain. Thank heavens there was a tractor that took the weak and feable up and down :)Here is Ava on the hottest day we were there cheering on the Indy Sting!Ava was quite a ham everytime she sat down to eat. Here she is giving me a serious look!When we got back from New York Mommy and Daddy decided Ava should get her haircut before her birthday! She did not have a good time! She would not take the sippy cup out from in front of her face the entire time we were there!On July 13 Mommy, Ava and Quinn (a little boy we were watching) went to the Children's Musuem. Ava had a good time until...she took a spill...she wasn't too happy after this!
The next day Mommy, Daddy, Ava and Quinn went to the Zoo. It was hot outside but Ava had a great time! We had Ava's First Birthday Party on Sunday, July 15. She had such a great time. Great Grandma and Grandpa Carter got her this rocking chair. She loved it that day and still loves it!She got so many great gifts at her birthday party. She did pretty good opening them too. Thanks to everyone for coming and their wonderful gifts!She loved her cake as well! She got pretty sleep afterwards though!Here are Ava's two friends Luke and Isaac. They had a great time cooling down in the pools!Ava had a great time in the pools too! Here is a picture of Ava at Gymboree, her favorite place to be! She will be there alot more often now that Mommy got a job there! Look at what a big girl she is in her new carseat! She loves being able to see Mommy and Daddy now!Ava's actual birthday was on July 19th. During the day her and Mommy went and got her One Year Pictures taken. Below is a link to look at her One Year Pictures. You need to type "Christin Bullerdick" in as the customer name!

We just took it easy the rest of the day until Daddy got home. She spent some time in the afternoon playing in her new rocking chair.After Daddy got home from work we went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time!After we got home from Chuck E Cheese she had some presents from Mommy and Daddy to open. She was sad that the day was over and now she has to wait a whole year to do it all again!Mommy and Daddy got her some crayons and paper for her birthday. She is very artistic! Here she is coloring in the kitchen one morning while Mommy got some stuff done. About 2 minutues after this picture was taken, she chowed down on that purple crayon that you see right there in her hand :(On Saturday, July 21 we went to Grandma and Grandpa Roberson's house to celebrate Daddy's Birthday. She had a good time pushing around her push toy that Grandma Harless got her. Here is the wild woman riding on her trike that Grandma Harless also got her. Look at that hair!We hope you enjoy the pictures. I have some more but I will post them later! We hope everyone is doing well! I am finally out of the first trimester and feeling much better! We are working to get the baby's room ready before Grant starts school on the 22nd! We have been busy, busy, busy!

Love,

Grant, Christin & Ava
