We had a very fun Fourth of July. It all started the night before when we went to our annual ward/friend/family fireworks at a friends house in our ward. We had so much fun there! Ava had a pretty late night and it was stressful, but she loved it and ended up doing well. She didn't mind the fireworks, she liked them and wasn't scared at all. There was good food and good socializing! The next morning we went to our ward breakfast with yummy pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, and drinks. After we ate, the kids took part in a flag ceremony and a bike parade. Ava had so much fun riding in the cute wagon with Lucy :) Since I am doing slave labor on rotations right now I was required to go in to LDS hospital and work on the holiday, but luckily my preceptor took pity on me and only had me come in 11-3 which wasn't too bad. Ava napped while I was at work and then she and Luke picked me up, we did a little holiday shopping at the Gateway, and headed over to our friends, the Welch's house. We had a very yummy bbq and a fantastic firework show to go along with it. The girls had so much fun! After the fireworks we took Ava home and put her to bed- two late nights in a row was pushing it a little too much for us! Then Luke and I watched the movie "Definitely Maybe" from the Redbox and it was a great movie. I really liked it. All-in-all it was a very fun day. Holidays are so much funner with an almost 18 month old!!!!
Waking up for the festivities in her cute new pajamas grandma Ramsay gave to her- thanks!

Ready for the Fourth of July....
The very cute wagoneers. If only you could see Lucy's face!
After the bike parade, Ava's surrogate older brother, Sam (Erin her babysitters little boy) pulled Ava around for quite a while. She had a blast.
Ready for the firework fun to begin
Ava loves Haylee's little chair every time we are there and today was no exception
Not quite sure about actually holding the sparkler.....
so...... I will just play with the bottle of lighter fluid..... (don't worry, we promptly took it away!)
.... And eat the box of sparklers......

Its sounds like you had alot of fun for the 4th of July :)
Fun pictures! I can't believe how grown up Ava already looks! They changed so much so fast! It was so good to talk to you last week, hope life continues to go great and hopefully we will be seeing each other soon:)
What cute pictures! Looks like a very fun 4th of July. Ava looks as cute as ever (& always!) Her low ponytails are super cute. I love the picture of her in the wagon. Rylee still won't sit still long enough to go for a ride in one. Good luck with your very busy schedule.
I can't believe how thick Ava's hair is. It is getting so long too! Looks like you had a fun 4th but we missed you in K town. If you remember...five years ago exactly me and you were having boyfriend troubles and then we hung out together on the 4th. We went to the creek with Luke and Clayton. Haha weren't those the times?! I remember you, me and clayt drove the rodeo out to peekaboo..Good times Katy. Good times.
