Beach

We took Ava to the beach today for the first time, and she had a love hate feeling about it. She was having a blast one second and then the next second she was scared. It was understandable though because the waves were definitely coming fast. We went to the Port Aransas beach and it was so much nicer than the Galveston beaches, we all had a good time. We have had a long day today after we got from the beach I rushed to clean the car so that I could get dinner cooked in time to walk with our neighbor, and then while I was cooking dinner Jason suggested we go to the Hooks game. We rushed through dinner and walking so that we could go to the Hooks game in time to get a fleece blanket which we didn't make in time, but Ava was just to exhausted while we there so we had to leave.

Busy, busy, busy

We have been walking every night with our neighbor next door, it has been so good for us. She is a really good influence on us, she asked the first time we walked if we wanted to add a little more to our walk and like 3 miles we were still going. Jason & I are not used to that much walking so it has been great for us, but I admit that I have some pulled muscles and I am definitely sore. We have been going to a lot of Hooks games because we get the free tickets, Ava really seems to enjoy that. We are going to take Ava to the beach for the first time tomorrow, I think she will love it. We have been really trying to keep her busy, and tire her out so she sleeps better. It has been working she slept in her bed from 9 last night to 8 this morning without waking up once, it's a miracle! That is like the 3rd time she has done, I'm ashamed to say that usually she gets in bed with us still but we are slowly improving. Jason's days off are the next two days so we are going to get some stuff in the yard and in the house that has been needing to get done for a while.

Zoo

We took Ava to the zoo last Tuesday when we went to Houston. We went with my Mom, Pop, Jason, Ava, and I, it was a lot of fun but exhausting. Ava really wasn't as into it as I thought she would be, I guess she is still not really old enough to appreciate it. She did like it though, just not as much as I thought. We are going to the Hooks game tonight, so that she be fun. Jason gets tickets for free so that's the only reason we can go so much. I have just been staying busy trying to clean up(which is never-ending) and taking Ava to story time or a playgroup. Jason has not been able to do as much real estate as he would like, but his gauging job is taking a lot of time right now.

Hooks

Jason, Ava, and I went to the CC Hooks game tonight, the minor league team for Astros, it was a lot of fun. Ava had a really good time being able to look at everything, and she was surprisingly easy to handle. We have not been doing a whole lot, we have been trying to get on a health kick. Jason has went w/out a soda for almost 2 weeks, and that was really difficult for him considering how much he used to drink them. Of course I'm supposed to be supportive and stop drinking them too, but I have a had a few because I start getting caffeine headaches without them. That is probably a really strong sign of how much I need to stop drinking them though. We might actually take Ava to her first movie to go see the who movie, the neighbor said her little boy loved it. I am a little nervous about taking her though because I don't know how still she will stay. She does love cartoons though, she is a Winstead.
