HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!!!

Tuesday was Ava's 3rd birthday. She is growing up so fast!! She is looking like a little girl these days, not a little toddler. We had such a special day, Grandma Kathy came down and we all went to the Children's Museum. Ava and Liam both had a wonderful time. Liam was absolutely worn out. We came home just in time for food, presents, and cake! The BIG gift for this birthday was her big birl bike, with a special seat for Baby Mary. I will post some pictures, hopefully soon!

Happy Birthday Ava!!!!

Lookin' Good

Today is Indoor State Track finals at Purdue, so Ryan is gone all day and I think the kids and I are just going to have a bum around day at home. Ava, Liam and I took a shower together this morning to get used to showers because the lake does not have a tub. Ava hated it when she was Liam's age, so I am trying to get him used to it - it did not go well at all! I was trying to get Liam ready so I told Ava to go get some clothes on. This is the masterpiece that she put together. Nothing about it matches, but she thinks she looks pretty fancy!

Warm Weather

Sunday was BEAUTIFUL. We were outside all day long. We took the kids to Holland Park and both of them had such a good time. Ava fell asleep in the car and we couldn't get her awake she was so worn out. We even bribed her with ice cream and she still wouldn't get up! It was by far the nicest day of the year!

We have had a busy week. On Saturday, Lillie and Emma came down to visit us. Ava was THRILLED!! She was waiting for them impatiently all day long and hasn't stopped talking about them yet. Sunday morning, Lillie and Ava helped me make blueberry muffins for breakfast. After breakfast, the three girls got fancy for us. We had a wonderful time and hope Shane and Nicole and the kids can come back down real soon. We are headed to Elkhart for spring break, so hopefully the kids can get together again. Enjoy some pictures of the weekend.

New 'Do

Today we took Liam to get his 2nd (long overdue) haircut. Check him out...he is looking so handsome these days.

Connor Prairie

This weekend, my parents came down for a visit. We decided to head over to Connor Prairie and see what all they had to offer. Ava had a blast there, and even little Liam had a good time. There was an area for the kids to play in and pretend and Liam loved driving the cars.

Ava and my dad put on a great puppet show for us and she even got to make her own purple soap. When we left she asked if we could bring Lillie and Emmers sometime!!
