Lemonade Stand Pie

This is the YUMMIEST recipe - especially for this hot weather we've been having - (and this is coming from a chocolate lover). I got it from my BFF, Anne.

Lemonade Stand Pie

1/3 c. Country Time Lemonade drink mix
1/2 c. cold water
2 c. vanilla ice cream - softened
1 tub (8 oz) cool whip - thawed
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Place drink mix in bowl. Add water. Stir until dissolved. Add ice cream. Beat with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Stir in whipped topping. Pour into pie crust. Freeze 4 hours.

Enjoy!!

4 weeks old!

Ava is 4 weeks old already!!! I got the Pottery Barn chair--yay! I love it. Now I can take her pic each month to see how much she's grown. I was cracking up when I took these--she was just hanging out.



"No--I will NOT look at the camera!"






"Oh--ok!"


Bathtime



Ava had her first real bath! She loves it--despite the evil eyes she's giving the camera! hehe! Usually she just lays there enjoying the warm water. :)

Happy 1st Father's Day!

I just wanted to say just how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband. He is my best friend and I have loved beginning this new journey of being parents with him. Ava is one lucky little girl to have such a great daddy! I think I see a 'Daddy's Girl' in our future.

We celebrated by going to Ming's last night (one of Trav's faves is Chinese and I never want to go there). They do have crab legs so I allowed it. :-) Ava and I got him a Cubs grill cover which he loved AND we had Taco Bell (another Trav favorite) for lunch today (fancy I know!).

We love you!

Trip to Gma's!



Travis, Ava and I went home this weekend so he could go to a buddy's wedding. I hung out at my mom's with the girls. They had a blast. Anne and Ethan also stopped by. :)

Visitors :)

Ava is definitely a blessed little girl! Here are pictures of all of the visitors we've had in the hospital and at home. I think Cristie and Stacy (SORRY!) are the only ones I missed getting their picture. My Aunt Debbie also came over but I need to find the picture--wondering if maybe it's on my mom's camera.

Thank you to everyone for all of the well-wishes, cards, gifts, and love! She has changed our lives already and we love her to death!
