Busy Busy...

With school approaching, I guess I've gotten a little behind with my blogs. :) A lot has happened in the last week or so. Ava and I went to the Bettis/Jenkins family reunion on August 1st. Travis had to work that day. It was fun to see everyone even though it was a little rainy.

Love this pic :)

Wisconsin Dells
Ava and I took a girls trip to the Wisconsin Dells with the girls in my family the first week of August. It was tons of fun! We (Mom; Bridgett, Isabelle, and Olivia; and Tammy and Ella), meet every summer for a girls trip! We stayed at Chula Vista resort in the Dells. The girls had a blast at the water parks right there on the resort. Tammy packs all of the food and drinks we need and we just pay her so we don't have to go out to eat. We had tacos, sandwiches, fruit, pasta salad, chips, etc. It was all yummy! Ava did great! She slept most of the time in the car with a few pit stops of course. Ella's birthday is August 17 so we also gave her birthday gifts while we were there. We played mini-golf at the resort as well. Ava enjoyed it by sleeping the entire time in her stroller. :) I, of course, found many photo ops and Bridgett and I took some 'Senior' photos. haha!
















Ava got to meet cousin Ella for the first time. She was cracking me up. My favorite comment of the week from Ella was "Does your baby want a chip?" She also asked if my baby could wear a necklace. She was very interested in lil Ava. :)



State Fair
Yesterday Ava and I went to the State Fair with Megan and Reddington. We had a blast. The babies were awesome. Why would we think any different right? It was a little hotter than we thought it was going to be but both Ava and Reddington were lil angels. :)




Thought this sign was appropriate...


The Butter Cow







Happy Babies :)




We got ice cream in the Dairy Building (of course) and went to sit down in a nearby pavilion just in time to see a show put on by The Bucket Boys. Somehow Ava slept through the entire show of them BANGING and I mean BANGING on barrels, parking signs, smashing garbage can lids together, etc. She only woke up when they started talking on the microphone (see the top left photo). We had some fun taking photos of the 2 cousins together. Love em!
