Tuscora Park Today!

What a beautiful August day! Hot but no humidity! I decided to boycott the Fair this year (1st time in a LONG time), go ahead judge me, anywho I've been wanting to take Avery to Tuscora Park forever and today we did! Me, mom and Avery headed to Sugarcreek for some breakfast, then stopped at 2 winery's, again go ahead and judge me ;) I did buy 3 bottles and will wait till Butterball has arrived to celebrate! Then we headed to Tuscora Park.


We started off by feeding the geese and ducks. Hands were in constant motion :)

Then we rode some rides. We ran into Avery's friend, Jackson who is 10 days older than Avery.

This was one of her favorite rides.

Then Nana and Avery rode the train.

Then Avery wanted to ride the roller coaster and they wouldn't let adults ride, but she wanted to go anyway. Round #1.....smiling.

Round #2 still smiling :)

Round #3.....she was done! It was very jerky for the smaller kids. They let her off and gave her a ticket for another ride.

Of course she had to have the pink one :)

HI everyone!

Loved the noisy horn on the car!

She didn't want to go on the swings but we talked her into it! Yea she was just tall enough!

Nana wanted to ride with her.

Having fun!

At this point Avery was still having fun but mom was talking herself out of getting sick! This ended up being Avery's favorite ride. We wanted to ride the ferris wheel but it was broken :(

Then she played and played and played on all the different playgrounds they had.

What a fun day!!! She told me "thank for the best day EVER, you are my best friend and the best mommy ever and I will love you forever, ever and ever!" I'm going to say she loved it :)

24 weeks = start of my 6th month!

This picture was taken 2 days later AND at the end of the day :)

I had a Dr's appt. on Fri. July 29th for my monthly check and got to see a new Dr. I REALLY liked her, she was a new Dr. and very through. Anyway, at my last appt. on June 29th I had told my regular OBGYN I've been having pressure "down there" and she brushed it off saying that is normal after delivering a child vaginally. Well over the next month some days were worse than others and figured out a lot of it was from my chair at the CPA firm, so I lowered it and took a pillow in to sit on, plus if I'm on my feet all day at the craft store I feel it a lot more. I insisted that I be checked and the Dr. agreed, she checked me and did some kind of swab test and said yup that I was dilated a little on the outside but everything was closed up on the inside which was good and that I don't need bed rest just to not lift heavy things. That was a HUGE relief to me because it's just not my nature to sit or lay (don't get me wrong I have my lazy days which consits of scrap booking and messing around on the computer :) Don't worry I'm not over-doing anything, I take my breaks at the craft store and when I'm at home but if I don't do the work at home it just won't get done, that's just how it is at our house. Josh does a good job on the outside and keeping his jeep clean and I will just leave.it.at.that. :) The baby's heartbeat was 150 and butterball has been very active :)

Girls, Glitter & Grace

Avery got invited to spend the day with her BF to help her celebrate her 4th Bday!! The girls were so excited to see each other and go to an ALL GIRLY store!


Started off with lunch at McD's and some play time at the playland.


Jen found this cute girly shop in Newark, Ohio on one of her visits to her sisters house.

That about sums up how the place and the girls looked too :)

The Owner, Grace, doing the Birthday girls hair!

Avery's turn was next!

She loved getting her hair done, make up & finger nails painted! Stinker REFUSED to paint her toe nails for some reason. The next day she wanted me to touch up her toe nails and I didn't told her she should have gotten them done at the spa. She said "but they were already painted, well every ones were already painted as were her fingernails but they take the old off and put new on! Geesh! The mind of a 4 yr old!

Girls all dolled up!

Working on her scrapbook page for their picture.

Next was cupcakes and pink lemonade!

ok she didn't like the frosting, lol....that's how we roll unless it's cream cheese frosting :)

Having a blast!

Next she got to make a spa product and she picked lip gloss.

Presents!

After we were all done Avery gives Nat and a hug & kiss and thanks her for inviting her and that she's her BF! Awww!


Hope you had a great 4th Bday Miss Nat, I know we had fun helping you celebrate! Thanks for everything! FYI we have to put eyelash on aka eye shadow & glitter stars on EVERY morning now!

We finished the day off making supper up at Proper's and Avery took a dip in the pool!

Crilow's, Coccia House & Dad's Bday!

Nana took Avery to the library faithfully once a week for story time and for all the special programs they had. She loved them! I also enrolled her into their summer reading program. Although she can't read herself but when I or others read to her you keep track of your time and each week she gets prizes. She loved it and still loves to be read too! So we headed to the end of the summer reading Island Party Sat. afternoon.

They had lots of arts and crafts at the party.

Then we headed to Lowell's for Coccia House & to see everyone. The kids had fun!

Love this picture!

And this one too!

Dad and Jeannette

Haha! Dad you are such a good sport! Looking 'swell'!

Then since Dad was still in Ohio for his Bday we took him out for some chinese & ice cream!

Miss A lovin her braids!

and ice cream too!


Can't tell you the last time I saw my Dad ON his Bday! My face says it all though, it was so hot and humid, I was stuffed full from supper and a SMALL ice cream cone that was huge!

Happy 68th BDay Dad! Love you!
