April

I already blogged Ava's class Easter party but never got around to doing the rest of Easter.  This year was the first holiday we haven't made it back to be with family and just did our own little family thing.  It was sad but at the same time nice not having to travel.

 

This year Highland church did a really cool passover thing for families that was really interactive for kids.  This was Ava nailing her sins on the cross. (she picked not listening to mommy and daddy)

 The next station was feet washing.  This was a really fun one that I think she kind of understood.  (We now have to wash eachother's feet at bath time)

 "eating with Jesus" (she didn't really care for Jesus food LOL)

 Praying in the Garden.

 It's kind of funny going from Passover stuff to the Easter bunny...you know we have to turn every religous thing into gifts)

 Blue bonnets...Ava and Jacob didn't really care to take pictures in them...This was the only good one I got!

 Our friends Joe and Anna planted a garden.  They really wanted to show Ava how to do it.  It was so cute she showed her step by step, and even let her do a lot.  She LOVEs their garden...not sure if its because she gets to play in water or if its the seeing it grow.

 Ava and Kinslee at their Easter egg hunt.

 Look at how many Jacob found!

 Joe and Anna came and colored Easter eggs with us.  Ava really liked it at first but the process was a little to slow for her.

 Easter Bunny goodies!!!

 The Boys

 The Girls

 Since we didn't get to go home for Easter this year, we had our friends that live out of state from their families over.  We even busted out our fancy dishes!!!

 Ava's Easter day egg hunt...Check out those glasses!!!

 GUESS WHO IS MOVING TO ABILENE?!?!? (well they have been here for a while now but not when these were taken LOL)

Jason and Shannon came in town to look for houses...

 haha Love this picture!!! the first group picture!!!

Last of Feb and first of March

I think to catch up I'm just going to do it month by month...Be ready for picture over load and little words...and keep in mind I'm doing this with a sleepy 6 month old in my arms and a almost 3 yr old running around!

 

I love this picture of Ava holding Jacob!

 Meeting Amber!

 Snuggle time with daddy

 Tummy time is always more fun with sister!!!

 During spring break Daddy had to play catch up in school so we went to Sassy's house to get out of the way.  We got to spend lots of time with Grammy helping her out after surgery and lots of play time with Sassy.

On Jacob's 1 month bday we got to go meet his great granny (Michael's mom)

 Sassy got Ava her very first ice cream cone!

 Jacob's 1 month bday party!

 Of course Daddy facetimed in with us!

 Ava took LOTS of bubble baths in Sassy's big tub...I couldn't believe it she started putting her face in and  not screaming to death with her hair being washed!

 Play date with Isaiah

 One of my best friends from high school got married in March so we braved it and took both kids to it!

 Jennifer and Jacob

 Ava and Daddy danced the night away...she didn't even want cake b/c she was dancing so much!!!

 Ava couldn't wait to meet the princess!!! She was GLOWING when she got to dance around the dance floor with Princess Chelsea!

 Group picture!!! (me, Jennifer, Chelsea, and Molly...we missed Joanna)

 After driving back home from Irving, I went to change her diaper and she informed me that she didn't wear diapers anymore just panties!!! (keep in mind we hadn't even really talk to her yet about potty training) So we went with it and she did AWESOME!!! She even pooped in the potty a few times...but then stopped that part...Feel free to comment on how to get her to poop in it!
