Around here...

Cherry blossoms, from some'lucky'one else's yard.

My Herb Garden.

Mystery gnome found in my garden.



I think I'll keep him : )

Priceless.

Future Kat Von D?

Imagine, if you will:

The look on James' face lastnight when Ava so boldly announces to him,

'When she's all growed up, she's

going to get tattoos on her hands AND face.'

{Holy.Mother.Of.Pearl.}

{Insert small heart attack here}

After some clarifying...

she still considers tattoos to be temporary,

like the ones we use on Canada Day and such.

Nothing the wipe of a warm face cloth wouldn't fix.

Um, PHEW.

Soccer: Part 2

And in our spare time....

HA!  Right--

Spare time is a divine rarity,

at least for these next two months.

Welcome to Spring Soccer, friends!

When Ava's not busy with The Bumblebee's,

{her soccer team}

we're off to the field to watch the dynamo known as, The Blue Dragons.



And I realize that after my previous post, this may come off as being somewhatborderlinebraggy...

But.

Aaron has also proven to have quite the talent for soccer as well.

Yup.  He's a champ :)



Soccer: Part 1

Can we take a moment to talk about what a beast Ava is at soccer?

It's ridiculous.

Not only is she a tall drink of water out there (just like her daddy-o!)

but the girl is a force to be reckoned with.

100% Determination.

No fear.

And at the risk of sounding like a crazed hockey mom

{no offence fellow hockey moms}

just the right amount of aggression.

Which thrills me to no end, because... Well--

b-a-s-i-c-a-l-l-y,

she's everything I never was and wished I could be.

Athletic, brave & confident.

...Which makes living vicariously through her that much more satisfying (wink :)

Milestones

Life is good for Miss Ava these days.

Within the last three weeks

she has managed to accomplish the following 3 tasks:

Ride a two-wheeler

Lose her first tooth

&

Learn to make her own peanut butter & jam sandwich

(She thinks her sandwiches are, 'The Best. They are sooo good, mama!')


She hardly needs her poor old mum anymore :(
