HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY AVA!

Ava is the girl that watches a show once and can recite back the whole thing including all the hidden humor that I hope she is not taking in.  She is the girl that has absolutely no fear and that usually works out to be a good thing for her and a bad thing for me.  She is pretty much great at every thing she does and is up for anything.  She is the boy that we will never have and prefers to have the least amount of clothes on as possible (so her belly can breath)!  She wants to love and snuggle anyone, anywhere and all the time.  She has no stranger danger and can make friends anywhere she goes.  She is so friendly, busy and happy most of the time. I worry sending her to new friends houses just in case of what she might say or do.  She has no filter and I continue to tell Lance to watch what he says around her because she sucks it all in.  She is for sure my challenge sometimes but it's hard to stay mad at her for very long.  She provides much of the entertainment here and is a sucker for the spot light.  I love what a free spirit and lover she is. She is a fabulous big sister and loves to maul Sloany to death.  She won't let us leave the room for even a minute if Sloan is in there.  She doesn't want her to be left by herself.  She still loves the boys and has 2 men in her life.  Kalvin as we know and now Miles, the new boy in her class.  Her teacher just adores her and she is a great student.
She is into Lalaloopsy, Monster High, dress up and loves to play outside.  She still would love to eat waffles, pancakes, cereal and eggos most of the time and polish it off with a chocolate milk.  She is venturing out on her eating choices slowly but surly. She keeps me on my toes and we just love this crazy girl!
She choose Classic Skating for her party and got to take her 5 friends and Meggy.  They all do their own thing pretty much so it makes it super easy for me.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!

CALI EASTER/SPRING BREAK

We decided very last minute to head to Jenn and Kevy's for spring break and Easter.  It was a 9 day break from school so it was a perfect time to go.  Lance was also able to drive down with us and stay a few days before he had to fly into Texas.
I was very hesitant to drive because the car is not Sloan's favorite place to be.  I thought turning her around in her car seat would help but I was so wrong.  Out of the 5 hours to Vegas she cried for a good 2 of it.  Lance really had no idea how bad she doesn't like the car until this trip.  After a few almost freak outs we turned the shows off and opened the sunroof for a super loud white noise and she was out.  We stayed in Vegas that night at Ade's.  We were able to hang with them for a few hours and have breakfast before we headed to Huntington.  Everyone was great in the car this time.  We learned this trip that it's the night time car ride that kills Sloan.  She is great in the day.
We spent the next week playing at the park and the beach, shopping and just doing nothing.  The girls loved having their own loft to sleep and play in.  We got to stay at their new house which is perfect.  Sloany loved Kevy and Jack!  Jenn and I got in a few good workouts and a beach run.  We had yummy tacos and lots treats.  It was just fabulous.  We all absolutely love being there and its awful to come home.  Lance left Wednesday and I stayed till Saturday and drove into St. George to stay with Beck and Ryan.  It was a good thing that we only went half way because it was a nightmare.  Sloan cried from Baker until St. George and then she was fabulous the second she got out.  The big girls were so great and so helpful or we never would have made it.  We can't wait to go back!
