Equestrian Show

Lately Ava has taken a liking to horses. Dinosaurs are still #1, then horses, babies, bracelets, etc. So Saturday morning I took her to an Equestrian Center close to our house to see the horses. So absolutely loved it!! She would not sit down. She wanted to get as close as she could. She loved when a horse and rider would walk past us. She also kept screaming, “Mommy I want to ride the horsey”.  I would reminder her she is a little girl and can’t ride them yet. That is when she would cream, “Mommy I big girl. I ride horsey.” I just knew an all-out battle was about to begin so we left.

 

Family Reunion

We had The 1^st Annual Delgadilo Family Reunion in Ingleside this past Labor Day Weekend. Mom, Ava and I had a GREAT time. Ava was a real trooper the entire trip! She kept saying “just the girls are on bacation, not the boys”. The guys missed this one due to The Villa Family Fantasy Football Draft.

As soon as we made it into town we went to my Godmother’s house where we were staying. Ava made herself right at home. In no time her toys were all over the house. Eventually we finally got ready to go to the party. Ava was not shy one bit. She jumped right in the mixed with all her cousins and 2^nd cousins. She loved dancing and playing musical chairs. I thought it was really neat each of the 5 families made a family tree. Then 3 (Blue = Tia Olga, Green = Tia Lala, Yellow = Tio Barney, and Purple = Ofelia, my grandmother/mom's mother)of the living Delgadilo siblings spoke about each family. I already can’t wait for the next reunion!

The next day was full of family fun. Everyone came to Tia Olga’s for breakfast. Then we headed to the hotel pool for the day. That evening we all went out to eat and spent some last quality time together.

So after an eventful weekend and much less sleep than usual Ava passed out before 7pm when we got home and slept peacefully until the next morning past 7am. Poor baby was worn out from all the fun.

 

Level 3 Swim

We are so proud of Ava. She is doing so well in swim.

Life's a Beach

Gramps travels a lot for work. Sometimes to far places like Brazil, Philly. etc and sometimes to not so far places like Clute, TX. This trip was to Clute and since my mom is now retired and I’m now off every other Friday we all tagged along for an extended weekend mini vacay. Mimi, Ava and I had a great time swimming at the hotel pool and hanging out at Surf Side Beach. When Gramps got off of work we would venture out in the town and try new restaurants.

The highlight of the weekend was ultimately Ava making it the whole time with no potty accidents. YAY!!! This was huge since we traveled about an 1 ½ to get there, we were always on the go, and in new surroundings. Let’s hope she keep it up!!

 

Pre-School II

Ava is moving on up! She is now in the 3 year old Pre-School II class with Ms. Dunuca. I’m hoping she adjust well.

Movie Time

Sunday I took Ava to the movies for the 1^st time. We went to see Planes. I knew Ava wasn’t that into Planes, but I thought its worth a shot. It looked like a cute movie. The whole way there and leading up to the movie I was getting Ava excited. She was so cute sitting in the oversized seat eating her popcorn. However, the movie was running late due to technical difficulty. So by the time the move started she was almost finished with her popcorn. She lasted about an hour then started to ask to go home.

It was enjoyable while it lasted!!

Room Transformation 2

I have been working on Ava's toddler room for sometime now. She is still crazy into dinosaurs. So I had a quilt made for her. It turned out perfect! I still need to frame 3 custom pictures I had made and figure out what to do with the other wall.

A BIG plus is she is sleeping in her room. However, every once in awhile we let her sleep with us.
