Still my Running Partner

Ava went on a 2 mile bike ride while I ran. It was a very special moment for this mama. I cant believe how fast time is passing. One day I was pushing her in a stroller, the next she is riding beside me....in a few years she will be running by my side.

Breakfast with my Cars

Nathan has a bit of an obsession with his "tars" aka "cars". He sleeps and eats with them. Good thing those little "tars" are only $1. Its an easy buy to make this little boy happy.

oh and he likes sleeping and taking naps in just his pull up now.

Playing Nice

We spent another low key weekend at home. Saturday night the kids played nice most the evening. They built (had Ryan and I) a tent and watched Angry Birds while eating popcorn.

Drop Off

1) This school Drop Off line is no joke. I thought I was early...boy was I wrong. I was stuck in traffic line with all the other early birds.

2) I was more sad this day than Avs's 1st Day of School. She is so independent and brave. She hopped right out of the car and waved bye to me. I stared at her through my rear view mirror and got a little teary eyed.

Night. Night. With my Tars

Move over Mickey Nathan has a new item(s) he like to take to bed. His "tars"!

Kindergarten / Toddlers 2B

The morning went smoothly. Ava woke up excited and ready to go. Nathan thought it was a pretty big day for him too. 

There were no tears at all. I was proud of myself...I mean of Ava. 

After school treat with the Murray's. 

The Day Before School

Seriously how has this happened!! My 1st baby is ready for school. 

We spent the day prepping and getting organized for the week. 

Meet the Teacher

Ava was a little nervous to meet her teacher, but once she saw a familiar face in her class she was thrilled about school. Also helped her teacher Mrs. Farrington was super sweet. 

Sweet gift from the Murray's

Last Day of Pre-K

This Friday was Ava's last day of Pre School. I picked her up before lunch so we could spend quality time together before she starts school. 

Family Friday

It was Nathan's turn to pick dinner...and well since he can't we picked for him. He loves rice and beans so we tried Victors. It will be our last too. The service was so slow and we (the Villa genes) were all hot in the restaurant. 

Afterwards we had a fun night playing Bingo. 

La Torretta Vacay

Last vacation befor school starts. 

We spent 3 night at this fun resort. My parents, Gabe and the Guncles stayed the last night. We all had so much fun!! 

Tooth Fairy

Our baby girl lost her 1st. Her school called and put her in the phone to give me the good news. She was so excited!! The school put her tooth in a tooth box necklace. All evening she walking around with it. She couldn't wait to go to sleep. Ryan read her a "Tooth Fairy" book and she put her tooth in a tooth pill her Nina bought her. 

The next morning she woke up with $5 from the Tooth Fairy.
