The Croquet Party

Yep, that's my girl.
Good think she loves parties,
Saturday we partied all day long.


We started with a croquet party at our house.

Ava loved relaxing on Grandma Angi's lap.
Me & My Dad
Here is Malia, we laughed as it was suggested her mother
move her while Julia took her shot. Hope just laughed
and said "um no, I think she will be fine" She was right,
the ball stopped short of hitting her.
It's good to throw in extra obstacles,
it makes the game that much more fun.
Julia was cracking me up, she watched each shot we all
made like a hawk, making sure all rules were followed.
At one point I hit HER ball and asked her what my options
were. She says "Oh you could hit this persons ball
out or just take your shot." I loved how she acted like
the person I could hit out wasn't her.
My Dad won, Jessica was second, I was third,
John forth, hope fifth and Julia took up sixth place.
We had a great time playing croquet,
& a nice time visiting.

What a nice way to spend the first Summer day we have seen in forever!
Funny to think our lawn was flooded just a few days ago...

Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
