Life lately!

I have had exams all week and after 8:00 this morning (Yes I had an exam on Saturday) I am now officially done with the first summer mini-mester where I took three class!!  Monday I will start the second mini-mester of the summer where I will take three more classes!  Since I have been swamped with studying all week, blogging took a step to the side until I had time!  So, here are some photos from our life in the past two weeks!

One minute Ava Hayes is happy playing in her swing and the next minute I look over and she is dead asleep with her face on the toy console.

After waking up Ava Hayes had a mark on her forehead from sleeping on the toy console!

Ava Hayes LOVES eating prunes!!!! She is not very fond of vegetables though, so to get her to eat them we get a spoonful of a vegetable and then dip it in some prunes and she will ALWAYS eat it!!! haha Who would have thought prunes would be her number one food!!

Ava Hayes and I watched PaPa and Dad build a swing last weekend in the yard at the lake!! We were all burning up in the Alabama heat, so after the work was done we all jumped in the lake with our clothes on!!!  We're so spontaneous!!

Ava Hayes and Dad in the lake with their clothes on, which Ava Hayes LOVES!

Our family in the lake with our clothes on cooling down!!

Ava Hayes is starting to try to hold on to things to be able to stand up!  She can't even come close to doing it with out someone holding her, but she is definately thinking and wanting to be able to stand!!

Honey came to town to help me with exams!  Here she was rocking Ava Hayes to sleep and they both ended up falling asleep!!!  Precious!

AVA HAYES CAN SIT UP BY HERSELF!!!!!! Yay we are so excited about her reaching this milestone!  Her record time for sitting up is about a minute or two before she falls over!  We have to be ready to catch her when she falls when she is sitting, but everyday she can sit longer and longer!!  It wont be long til she will be able to catch her own fall!!

How did Ava Hayes ended up in the sink???  I don't remember, but never the less it is incredibly precious!! She loved being able to see her self in the mirror!!  After taking this picture, I tried to move the towel so I could take another picture, but the towel was wrapped around the cold water handle!  When I moved it the cold water squirted out and scared the daylight out of Ava Hayes and Ava Hayes immediately started crying!!  Dad and I thought it was hilarious though to see her freightened face, and couldn't help but laugh while we comforted her from the most terrifying moment of her life so far!!!

Beach with the Cole family!

Pops, Honey, and Uncle Ty Ty went to the beach from May 27-June 5!! Frank, Ava Hayes, and I went down on the 27, but since Frank and I are both taking classes this summer, we went back home to Auburn for the weekdays and went back down the second weekend.  Ava Hayes stayed with Pops, Honey, and Uncle Ty Ty during the weekdays, which was great for Frank and I to get some major school work done and also squeeze in some time to just enjoy going to a movie together.  Here is just a few of the photos from our trip!!

 We loved the ocean water almost as much as we loved the pool!!

With our sweet Honey and Pops!!

We had so much fun, especially Ava Hayes! She definately loved the beach, and I'm sure that the older she gets, the more she will grow to loved the beach even more!!
