We're Back!

Yes, I know we have been gone for some time. Three weeks in fact! We went on vacation and visited our families. We spent 2 weeks in Vegas visiting my family and spent a week in Salt Lake with Justin’s family. We also attended a family reunion on my mom’s side of the family.Here are a few pictures from our vacation. I realize now, that I really only took pictures of Ava. Surprised? :) I didn’t take any pictures of Justin and there are only a few of me. We love our little girl! :)

My sister Heather.

Sleeping with Grandpa Graff.

Ava had fun riding Grandma Hawes’s rocking horse! Okay, really, I had fun taking pictures of Ava on Grandma’s rocking horse. :)

I love her expression in this picture. This is her “great” Aunt Emily.

Thanks to Uncle Ken (my brother) and Aunt Cierra (Justin’s sister) for watching Ava while we went shopping, to the movies, to the lake and to Lagoon (an amusement park). And of course, thanks to the Grandmas who did most of the babysitting.

We, of course, went wakeboarding and waterskiing at Lake Mead while visiting my family. We went 5 times! We just couldn’t get enough. We got nice sunburns and had really sore muscles!

Ava missed out on the lake excursions, but I let her experience the boat just a little.

We actually had a life jacket that fit Ava. She had fun floating around in the pool with Grandpa Graff.

I took this picture last Sunday. Thanks to my grandma for the cute dress. Thanks to Justin’s mom for the headband, and thanks to my sister-in-law Raynie for the clip!

I love this picture. Her face says it all, “MOM! Would you PLEASE put DOWN the CAMERA? ENOUGH already!”
