Weekend Fun with Papa, Nana, and Friends

Last weekend we drove to San Antonio to spend some time with Papa and Nana and to visit some special friends. It was the perfect weekend and we all enjoyed every minute of it.

There was so much for Ava to do at Papa and Nana's! This girl was in heaven! (Nana has another granddaughter so their house is stocked with fun girl toys)

She played with the giant dollhouse and made a new kitty friend (the newest animal on Papa and Nana's "farm")

She got to pet Dotty the chicken who lets you hold her

She rode a tricycle

These are my dad and Shirley's chickens who just roam around in the yard with the dogs and cats. Hilarious to watch, especially when all the roosters start crowing at one time!

Papa pushed her in the swing

She rode in the coupe car

Did some gardening in the dirt

Of course she had to get some coloring in with her new friend


Saturday night while Papa and Nana watched Ava, Mikey and I met up with some of our good friends to celebrate Kristen and Scott's upcoming wedding. The couples shower was so much fun and it was great to get to catch up with friends without having to worry about our kids. (I didnt bring my camera so unfortunately I dont have any pictures from our night)

On Sunday morning we sadly said goodbye to Papa and Nana and went over to The Reynolds' house to meet their new baby girl, Hannah. She is just as adorable and sweet as I thought she would be!

So happy for my bestie Paige! Isn't Hannah precious with all that hair!?

The Isaacsons and Burkharts also joined us to meet the newest addition to the Reynolds family. I am glad we got to see their faces again and get all of our kids together to play, something that we very rarely get to do. I absolutely hate that we all live in different towns and we dont get to watch each other's kids grow up. It makes me really appreciate mornings like this that we get to spend together watching our kids play together.

We let the kids play outside for as long as we could stand the heat.

Big brother Ray giving me his cute new smile. :)

Bekah, rocking her pink tutu bathing suit, is recently potty trained and went poo poo in the potty while we were there so we celebrated with a group hug! Yay for Bekah! What a big girl!

We couldn't leave without a group shot. I absolutely love each and every one of these kids!

Not the most lady like pose from my child but at least she is smiling. I think the rest of them were stunned by Ava's daddy waddling around in front of them like a chicken to get them to smile.
