Ava's Party Dress!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Kok!

Ava's Great Grandma celebrated her 85th Birthday this weekend! It was a great time to get the whole Bille Family together for a picture!

Ava and Grandma Great!

The Bille Clan.... Uncle Mitchell and Maddie, Uncle Lucus and Dana, Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma, Mom, Dad and me, Aunt Andrea and Jason~!

Chloe came to visit me!!!

Chloe (and Family) drove 23 hours from Vermont to come and visit me!!! We had a great time!

I am 15 months old today!!

Sweetheart!

The Alto Fair-2008!

This year was Ava's second trip to the Alto Fair! And she loved every minute of it!

(That's a tall farmer!)

Ava loves the animals.... just not touching them!

Dad and Uncle Lucus tried to win Ava a prize. Dad did win this large blow up hammer (Ava is hidden behind it in this picture) But only because the carnival worker felt sorry for him! He couldn't let Ava go without a prize!

Free Ride At the Fair!!!

Ava loves the Merry-Go-Round, but was not such a fan of giving up her ticket! She refused to give it up and the nice carnival worker thought it was so funny that he was getting the run-a-round from a 1 year old that he invited her back the next day for a free ride!!! We must be training her well!! She is already conservative with her money!

I Love Grandma and Grandpa!

This past week we were visting Grandma and Grandpa Bille. It was a busy week for dad! He got a new job in Mineral Point, bought a new car, and had his 10 year class reunion! And the best part is, I got to spend lots of time with grandma and grandpa!!! We are back later this week for the ALTO FAIR!!! Stay tuned for pictures!!!

My Friend Ashton!!

Peek A Boo!

Lake Superior!

This past week we went on a road trip with Grandma and Grandpa Sheridan and Uncle Joe. They were heading up to Marquette, Michigan to visit friends and we hopped along for the ride! We had a GREAT time and Ava saw Lake Superior for the first time!

Ava and Mom's View from the back!

5 hours in the back of a van could drive anyone crazy! But Ava was a trooper and did great!

Fun at Bay Beach!

No.... Ava didn't go on the Bumper Cars and Giant Slide.....she was too small... but that didn't stop, Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Uncle Joe from trying them out...but there's always next year for Ava!!

A Vacation without swimming?!?! I think not!

Of course we had to go swimming. We did however have to avoid one hotel pool that had a man in a Speedo!

Ava had control over the sleep number bed. She kept on pumping it up... and then letting it down. I think she thought it was a ride!

Fr. Isadore

Father Isadore is the priest that married Grandma and Grandpa Sheridan and baptized my mom. He was in Wisconsin for a couple of days and I got to meet him. My Grandma has a picture of my mom sitting on his knee 26 years ago.

My Buddy.... Grant!

Today I had a play date with Lily and Grant Kastman.

They are the children of moms friend Katie (Roever) Kastman.

Grant was nice enough to crawl around with Ava since she is still NOT walking. Hopefully she will soon be running around with him!

I am 14 months old today!

We went to the Madison Zoo!

Ava loved the animals. Her favorite was the Giraffe!
