Rachel's & Kobie's B-days

Last weekend we celebrated Rachel's 13th & Kobie's 8th birthdays. It was a lot of fun. Ava had a blast with her cousins and played some new games.

Blowing out 21 candles (13+8). Rachel requested a white cake with strawberry and banana filling with chocolate frosting.

Kobie was really excited about his Atlantis Lego set. He also got his first Cub Scout uniform.This picture of Rachel reminds me of me. There are several pictures where I'm displaying some serious teenage attitude. Rachel actually wasn't giving me attitude I just caught her in the middle of a bite. She is a beautiful young lady and oh so talented.

The cousins discovered some hula hoops and with Rich's help could get them to go around a few times.

Ava played her first game of hide-n-seek with her cousins Kobie & Nathan. She had so much fun. Ava liked the counting and the seeking part of the game. She wasn't very good at hiding.

Once is was cold and the mosquitoes came out the games moved indoors. Ava also played her first game of Sardines inside the house.

Ava loves all her cousins especially Lily. When Nathan asked Ava who her favorite cousin was she said, "Lily". Nathan then asked Ava who her 2nd favorite cousin was and again she said, "Lily!". Nathan being determined to be in Ava's top 3 asked her again, but she replied, "Lily!". Poor Nathan. I don't think he realized Ava didn't really know what he meant. Nathan, Ava does love you!

When I looked at this Parker kept saying, "I want to go to Gridley!" I do too. We miss you guys and seeing so much of the family together makes me a little homesick. We just got a skype account so if you guys have one too it would be fun to have the girls talk to Ava.
