So it's been a crazy few months around here. We spent a month in Austin, TX for a rotation which was a lot of fun and we have been back in AZ for awhile now just surviving Dave's crazy schedule with auditioning for a residency spot. It's crazy to think we are in our last year of med school and starting residency in just a few months.
These pics didn't load in the right order and I don't really want to redo it so this is just going to be a little scrambled but hey that's how my life is right now too.
These girls are so silly. You may wonder why Ella has a white face and hair... That would be because her silly sister decided to pull out my nail polish and paint her.
They love each other so much :)
Ava got a little tired watching General Conference and Nana Beep was able to actually get her to sleep in her lap. I don't know the last time that has happened but for some reason she has napped a lot this week during her quiet time.
Here is the Texas state capital building. Oh how we love Texas!
We went on a duck tour around Austin while we were there. It was a bus that can go into the water so the girls loved that. They also gave us these little duck whistles that they had so much fun with.
The whistles even looked like a duck bill and made a duck noise. Ava fell asleep on the ride there too. I forgot about that. She wears herself out with her craziness.
We went to this super yummy restaurant right on Lake Travis while we were there too. It is a beautiful city as you can see. We really loved it there. Not sure if it is in our permanent future but the city is a lot of fun.
Here's are little cheeser.
Dave thinks it's hilarious to feed Ella lemons and watch her reaction. It is pretty funny. Poor girl but she kept going back for more so she must of liked it..
Ava got a little nervous sleeping in the new room by herself. She has lately become very scared of the dark and has 2 night lights and her door open. I guess this night that just wasn't enough light so she slept on the hallway floor...
If you look closely those little fuzzy dots are actually bats. There in Austin they have a bridge where millions of bats live and at sunset they all come out to eat. We were a month late to when they actually fly out into the sky instead they just flew around below us which was pretty cool.
This little girl is growing up too fast. The other day I was holding onto her and she said "Let go a me!" What??? Since when did she learn how to say that.. I'm in trouble.
This little girl is growing up too fast too and is really into friends. We went to the Mayfield Park in Austin where peacocks just walk around. It was pretty cool but Ava made about 30 friends there because she just kept going up to any little kid about her size and grabbing their hand and saying "Hi friend." I am so glad she can be friends with anyone. She pulls me out of my comfort zone many times.
Knock, knock..
I love these pictures of Dave and the girls. I think they are so precious and I love Ava's faces. She has the greatest facial expressions. I can't capture them all on camera but just talking to her is so fun watching her expressions. She is such a cutie pie and getting so big.
Buddies in crime..
We went to an all you can eat BBQ place there too and it would be an understatement to say that Ella loved it. Seriously look at that face. She was even licking the table :)
Ava loved the bread.. I am pretty sure she has about 5 pieces of bread in her hand.
We went with our friends Teal and Nick. They had a baby a few days after we left. We were so sad we didn't get to meet their little guy. It was so fun to see them and catch up though.
We wanted to take a pic of what our girls look like during prayers. They are so sweet. Ella just learned how to fold her arms recently and it is so fun watching her.
We had a great time in Austin and are glad to be back too. It was a great little break and such a beautiful and fun city. We just hope that AZ cools down a little bit soon. I am ready for fall weather.
