trains

and shibleys


So Ava has become very into trains these days. She loves to play with my little brothers train set that my dad brought around Christmas as a hand-me-down and since riding the street car in New Orleans thinks she likes to ride trains. So we went to this mall close by so the kids could ride a model train. Ava was in heaven. The three other adorable kids in the pic are Ava's best friends here. Grace the oldest then Lilly and then Caleb. She calls them "my kids" and really thinks she is part of their family. She plays with them daily at the gym and often again later in the afternoon. In fact when she sees their car she runs into it and wants to go with them. Sarah their mom has become my closest friend here and we work out together 5 or 6 days a week and really enjoy each other as well as watching the kids have so much fun.
Yesterday Keegan, Ava and I went to a good friends yogurt shop grand opening that happened to time with a Thomas the Tank Engine Festival. Unfortunately all the train rides were sold out and slaker mommy here did not know I should have ordered them on line but Ava loved just seeing everything and the petting zoo and glass blowing demo.... okay she did not love the glass blowing demo but Keegan did as I have tried to explain it to him several times and this made it all come together. The yogurt Shop.... Cassie's yogurt was amazing and both Keegan and I were so impressed/ excited for the Uptmore/ Wheat crew but especially Cassie.
