Olympics 2024

I have never felt so old as I have the past 2 weeks...Staying up past midnight every night to watch the Olympics and then getting up for work each morning...but I will truly miss it when it is over and cannot wait until 2012! On that note, I think we might have a young swimmer or a gymnast for the 2024 Olympics!!

Here we are swimming at AP's pool :) Thank you for having us!

I guess we just get less flexible as we get older...interesting to think that I used to be able to do this and can't imagine being able to now!

Anyone need a good decorator?

Does this face look like someone is up to something??? We brought in an interior decorator at great expense to change things up a bit :) Little Miss Ava decided to get into all of the magazines, books and papers that were "hidden" next to the sofa. Apparently they weren't really hidden too well.

Worker bee in action!!!

All done! Mommy, do you like what I have done with the place?

"Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina..."

It's an old tune so you may not know it, but it's a good one...and so true! Ava and I just took a short work trip to Raleigh, NC and while we were there, Ava was able to spend a couple of days with Aunt Beth and Uncle Russ. WOW, did they ever have everything ready for us when we got there! They bought her toys, books, clothes, strawberries, popsicles, and Fruit Loops (new favorite from our Phoenix trip) and the 2 biggest favorites were Beth's mini trampoline and the POOL with the slide!

I think Uncle Russ got quite a workout while the amateur photographers kept trying to get the perfect pic!

What a little swimmer we have! She just loves the water!

While I was at dinner with the Lenovo team, Ava was swimming again and went to visit her puppy friends "Gray" and "Pepper" on the golf course. Payton and Callie would have been so jealous! NC is so beautiful and has so many trees! We can't wait to come back! Thank you so much for such a great time! Love you!

I scream...you scream...we all scream for...

ICE CREAM!!!

We are going to skip ahead to the desert, but just so you know, Ava really did have dinner so don't report me :) We went to dinner at Z Tejas to visit our friend Helena and Annika now that Helena has moved back to the US from Sweden. We had a great time catching up and we are so glad to have her back! It is a shame that we weren't able to get in a trip before her tour was over :(

What are you ladies talking about???

Don't even think about taking my ice cream!

It's a shame she didn't like it!

Ava's widdle wed wagon

Daddy is off on a golf tournament this weekend so it is just Ava and Mommy hanging out and playing with our mini Radio Flyer. We have had hours of fun taking things in and out of it and pulling it around the house to the front door and then back to the kitchen around the island and then back again. Check Ava out as she is on the move...

"Hey, that camera would look great in my wagon!" Uh-oh! Gotta go!!
