So, during the busy school year I always thought to myself "during the summer I will post like every day since I won't be too busy!" but as you can all see- I have posted much less during the summer than I ever did during the school year. The summer has been super busy for us. Since I have to do two clerkships (the pharmacy school equivalent of medical rotations) the first four weeks of summer I tried to pack everything I could in. I started my 40 hour work weeks at a wal-mart by my house last week and I have three more weeks to go. After that I go to LDS inpatient pharmacy and do 4 more weeks of work and then I have 4 weeks off before I go back to school. The summer has been filled with so many fun outings and being with friends and family. Ava is being watched by one of my friends in our church ward who has kids and Ava is loving it. Erin has watched Ava since she was a baby- she has truly been a lifesaver! I am currently working four 10 hour shifts so that I can have three days off (Fri,Sat,and Sun) to be home with Ava and it is working out well- not optimal, but well. I really enjoy the people I work with and am learning so much practical knowledge. There isn't too much going on in our lives besides that- Luke passed his health and life insurance test and his new position with Edward Jones is going great- he loves it! My brother Jeff gets home from his mission next month (July 31st) and we are all counting down the days. I hope you enjoy the pictures....
No- it isn't the sock eating monster... it is just Ava wearing some of her shorts on her head.
The newest one year old in our family!

Probably the first picture of Ava and Brooke both looking at the camera (even if it was an accident!)
Have I ever said how cute Ava is when she is sleeping. She always sleeps like this, all curled up.
Riding the train at the zoo
Belly- oops, I mean Ava and Jane catching a ride at the zoo

Sounds like you guys have a lot going on! Ava is adorable... just like always! Good luck with all the rotations for pharmacy school. You'll do a fantastic job! (you always do!)
Hey busy woman! Very cute pictures of Ava! I think she is starting to look more like you all the time! Good luck with your pharm. rotations. It looks like you guys have been up to all sorts of fun.
Love that last picture. That smile is the best!
It's about time you put up a new post. I love the pictures of Ava and love your little explanations even more. :)
Cute pictures Kate I keeping checking your blog for new pictures so I was excited. Ava is so cute she looks more and more like you all the time you are both so cute!:)
welcome back!!! Aves is so darling!
Hey Katy I just thought I'd let you know that I have finally started a blog! It is nothing fantastic so far but now we can stay in better touch. Our blog address is just ashleyandshaye.blogspot so come visit us soon:)
Aves hair is getting longer! In the second to last picture she looks like Traj from the back. It's probably time to give him a good chop so people stop calling him a girl but I just can't. Glad you are having a fun yet busy summer. You are Supermom working and all. Glad that Luke is liking his job too. I will want to get the scoop on it next time we get together.
I love that little pink hat Ava is wearing. That is so cute! Where did you get it?
Wow you guys have been busy:) Don't you just love spring/summer time...now that it's finally here! I love the pics of your little girl...and yes, saying #1 is probably lame but I don't think you'd want Ava running around saying poop and pee...lol:)
Looks like the zoo was a lot of fun! I love the zoo. Ava is so cute!! She is getting so big and her hair is long!!! Love all the pictures.
My heart just ached for you while I read your post. Don't you just hate to leave Ava? Leaving Anna is like the worst thing ever for me. It is so hard. That is so nice that you have someone in your ward to watch her that you trust and she can have fun with. I'm so proud of you for being such a go getter though.
