Chase Field




This last week we went to Chase Field to play! They had a bunch of fun things for the kids and some of the Diamondback players were there pitching baseball's to the kids and answering questions! We had so much fun in such a big stadium!

I cut Ava's hair!


Last week I was getting sick of Ava's straggly hair so I decided to try cutting it myself. I think it turned out great and her hair looks so much thicker and healthier!
