JAKE'S NEW BIKE

Jake and Randall went to California Easter weekend to pick up Jake's new motorcycle, and other than the recent snow we've had, Jake has been loving riding around! It's a Kawasaki Drifter, which is the same build as an Indian. It gets about 40 MPG, so it will be nice for Jake to be able to ride that and i'll be able to take his car instead of spending a fortune filling up the tank on my SUV. I haven't been able to go for a ride on it yet because the bike needs pegs for me first, but I'm looking forward to riding it..... kind of. Ha ha, I'm kind of scared, but on residential streets where the speed limit is only 25 MPH, it shouldn't be too scary!

EASTER PARTY!

The nursing home that Ashton works at had an Easter party and Denise, my friends Tamarah and Karen, and I took Ava. It was so much fun! Ava just LOVED the Easter bunny, and was following her around saying, "Bunny hug? Bunny kiss?". She did an Easter egg hunt, a cupcake walk, went "fishing" and got a wind-up frog (or as she calls it- "bibbit"), and a coloring contest. Really, she just colored a picture- we never put it in the contest. We all had so much fun enjoying Ava's excitement, but when it was time to go, I think we were ALL ready to leave! :D

COHEED AND CAMBRIA AND LINKIN PARK CONCERT

Here we are at the Coheed and Cambria and Linkin Park concert last saturday night. It was so fun! There was this other band at the beginning- a screamer band- and they were awful! Haha! But Coheed was great and Linkin Park was even better! I don't know if they had a different and better sound system than the other two bands, but the sound quality was fantastic! It sounded just like we were listening to the cd, only better, because they were right there! We had really great seats which was awesome for the concert, but not so much for after, because when we left neither one of us could hear each other! Hahaha! Our eardrums were shot! While we were waiting for the concert to start we were playing with the camera on Jake's phone, and found all these features he didn't know he had. (Which explains all the inverted colors and whatnot.) We have some videos, but I didn't want to take up that much room posting them, so I'll just post the links: http://s226.photobucket.com/albums/dd281/april_e_honey/Coheed%20and%20Linkin%20Park/?action=view&current=CoheedandLinkinPark040.flv

"IT'S A-UH?"

Hee hee- Ava is so funny! When she sees herself in pictures or videos she always refers to herself as "baby", but she is finally starting to call herself by her name, and not "baby" anymore. She can't make the "v" sound, though, so it sounds like "A-uh". We were watching a slideshow that I made and she kept asking me, "It's daddy? It's A-uh?" That girl is just so darned cute!

BIKER CHICK!

Here's little missy on her Indian that she got from her Poppy for christmas. Since we've had so much snow, she hasn't been able to ride it outside until yesterday. It was so cute, she kept pointing to the Indian on the side and saying, "Poppy vroom vroom!", because her Poppy rides an Indian, too. And if you don't catch what she's saying, it's, "EASY!" Hopefully we won't get too much more snow before spring, because she loves to ride, but needs some practice on the steering! I had to keep her from going off the driveway onto the lawn a few times!
