3 Year Ava Quotes

"Wait, I have an idea."

"Mommy, daddy needs your help."

"Mmmmm, smells delicous. Needs some pepper."

As soon as I get a chance, I'm going to post pics from Ava's exciting 3rd Birthday!

MOSI

For playgroup this week we went to MOSI. It was a ton of fun.

I can't believe everyone is actually looking at the camera!
Ava was obsessed with the dinosaur teeth.

They had this really cool cow that you could pretend to milk... and milk actually came out!

Even Olivia got in on the fun.

Ava loves blocks.

Olivia and Grant (Elisabeth's baby) were totally fascinated with each other. They played together and it was really cute.

He's already trying to win her over with gifts!

The Beach

We took the girls to the beach for the first time in a REALLY long time. They both had a blast. I don't think I have ever seen them both so happy.

ADORABLE!!!

Lance and Ava wanted to swim the whole time.

This is what a baby looks like after she eats sand (mommy wasn't fast enough to stop her, and it was really funny).

"What sand in my mouth?"

We hardly have any pics together. I love this one.

I love my girls!

She had a blast looking at the sand and water.

Pediatric Stroke News

Not trying to scare anyone but simply raise awareness of Pediatric Stroke, this is a VERY informative article. Everyone should read! Yeah for recognition by the AHA!

It seems as though now that I have lived through the experience with Olivia, I see stuff about pediatric stroke everywhere! We are very fortunate that Olivia is one of the lucky ones!

This is one of the girls' favorite things to do... go for a wagon ride around our apartment complex. The baby will stay quiet for 2 hours just being pulled around in the evening. It is something we do very frequently but never take a picture of.

Lance bought the wagon a couple of years ago with the dream of filling it with kids to pull around... I think he got is wish!

Happy Birthday Lance!

Happy 28th Birthday Lance! I love you!

Thank you for being the best hubby in the world!

Olivia's first ponytail

Olivia's hair is now long enough for a full ponytail. I don't know many 6 month old's that can have one. She also has 6 teeth! When she smiles all we see are her pearly whites!

What am I going to do with my big girls?
