Happy 2nd Birthday Ava!

Ava turned 2 on June 29th. We had two birthday parties for her. The first one was at Tiffany's house. We all went to St. George for my Dad's 60th surprise birthday party. Before he got there we had pizza and celebrated Ava's birthday. All of my family was there except Annesa's family. We wish she could have made it. Ava is more than obsessed with the color Pink. Sometimes it's hard for me because I am not a pink girl at all! I've learned to accept it though.

My mom picked her up a pinata for her birthday, when she asked me what kind to get I responded anything pink. She came home with this cute unicorn. Ian, Jaren, Jeffry, and Jade having pizza.

Her pink house cake melted in the St. George heat, not my best work. Better luck next year I guess.

Opening presents... Cari helped her get Cinderella dressed. With two 3 year old girls, she is a pro at playing dolls.

Tiffany made balloon animals for all the kids. She was an amazing hostess.

Pinata time....

After all the kids got a chance at the pinata, we gave my dad a chance at it, since it was his birthday too. As you can see he creamed it! Check out his concentration and flexed muscles!

Ava and I hanging out with some of her pinata candy.

The second birthday party was at the Cabin with Dustin's family. (Unfortunately Dustin couldn't make it to either party). Here is Carson, Auntie Andrea, Ava, Tori, Me and Ian.

This cake was much cuter than her other one, and it tasted amazing too. It is angel food cake stuffed with jello, cool whip, and berries and was brushed with orange juice. Yum!

The kids and I spent the week at the Cabin with Andrea and her kids. There will be more photos to come.
