Pineapple Princess Indeed

Rachel had Ava's birthday party over the weekend. The theme was Pineapple Princess Luau - so much fun! We had a limbo contest, great food, pineapple cupcakes and lots of laughs!

Here is Ava with two of her besties - Ava Marie and Schuyler - playing limo! Apparently it is next to impossible to get a good picture of all three of them together . . .

I love this picture because we all have the same expression on our faces.

The cutie-patootie Doughty family . . .

Sweet Barett - he is the perfect combination of his parents Scott and Jenelle in looks and personality! Love his adorable face and sweet smile!

Big E Doo is going to be THREE!!!

So, Ava is going to be three on the 21st - which I can't believe. I was there the whole step of the way when Rachel was pregnant with her, and I plan on being there for Ava every step of her life. I remember the day Ava was born and what joy we all felt. I am honored when she calls me "Aunt Sass" and I try hard to set a good example for her and all of the other little girls in my life.

I bought her this adorable romper for her birthday and I thought it would only be appropriate to take her birthday pictures in my parents' backyard - here are just a few of the highlights. I am proud to say that I took these pictures myself - I think they turned out great! I mean, easy to do when the subject is 100% adorable, her mom is a perfectionist and had the hairbrush and hairspray out between every picture!

I love you Ava, Happy Birthday baby!

The Fourth of July

I love the Fourth of July! I love the food, sunshine, friends that come along with it. Here are a few highlights from the celebration at Pool 120 . . . .

Lazy Pool Days

So, I am the worst blogger ever. I have been very busy laying by the pool, celebrating my thirtieth birthday for an entire week, celebrating the fourth of July, etc., etc. Here are a few pics from our lazy pool days. . . .

Sweet Maddie napping by the pool . . . .

Riley and his aunt Terry chillin' . . . .

Baby Logan is Here!

Erica and Russell welcomed baby Logan a couple of weeks ago and he is perfect! Rileyis very excited to be a big brother and is already setting a great example of how to be a perfect child! We are very excited for them and can't wait to watch both boys grow!

Love my Levi!

Amanda, Mickey and Levi came over to the pool the other day and we all had so much fun together. Two cute parents definitely made one adorable, big boy! We love you guys! I am so excited for Levi to turn two in a few weeks!

Joy = Ava

Ava stopped by the pool at 120 with her parents on Sunday. That girl is so full of joy that it pours out of her little body. She convinced my mom to get in the pool with her so she could get her legs wet. I couldn't believe it! That water couldn't have been more than 65 degrees!

I love this little girl very much and I hope that no matter how old she gets that she still calls me her aunt Sass!
