Some Summer Highlights!

Okay ... fine ... we get it! We are really bad bloggers! Our sincerest apologies! Great, now that that is over, we can finally move on. Since there is no way for us to catch up on the action past summer, we wanted to post a few highlights of what's been happening since ... well, April, when we last posted a blog. Gee, that's what ... six months ... yeah, we're really bad. We do have an excuse; however, and that is that Adele felt really crappy for several months when she was in the first few months of her pregnancy. Once out of practice, it's hard to jump back into the swing of things. That said, here's some highlights of the summer .. with more to follow.

Street Basketball Tournament:
In an effort to be an EOB -- and Equal Opportunity Blogger -- aka, try not to make every blog about Ava, I've included a little pic of a little 3 on 3 streetball tournament that I was in with a couple of friends, Dave Nielson and Brad Hinton. We did ok, considering we mostly played some "brothas from the Hood!" As you can see, the setting was something you don't find in Idaho Falls. I'm the dude in a blue shirt and black shorts that's about to take this sap to the rack! Boo-ya!

Swimming ... You Bet!
We had a pretty nice pool at the complex where we live, so we would take Ava there often. As you can see, she was always "stylin" at the pool! She loved the floatie thingy ... most of the time, and of course, she couldn't go out without her shades. But then again, what chic chick would? And yes, those are "new" teeth that Ava is showing off!

Cooking Time:Since Ava's favorite toy is her mome, Adele started incorporating Ava's "helpfullness" in the kitchen. Rather than her crying at Adele's feet all day, she just put her to work. Is this violating child labor laws? Eh, who cares ... as long as it's within the walls of my h0me, it's legal! Just this morning Ava kept saying "chair ... chair ... chair." We couldn't figure out what she wanted. Eventually, Adele realized that Ava wanted to stand on the chair next to mom to help prepare her breakfast. Shoot, if this keeps up, Adele might be able to take some breaks while Ava whips us up something tasty to eat! Or maybe not ...
