Race for the Cure

This weekend was Race for the Cure in Indianapolis. This is the 3rd year my mom and I have done it. Dad and Ryan did it the first year with us too. We recruited Jason, Mary, Elley, Taylor, and Mallory to do it this year with us. Everyone came down Friday night and the race was Saturday morning. We all had a nice time and we were thankful that Ryan was there because Elley wanted to run it and none of us did! After the race, we all met at the zoo for some fun. We had a really good time. Next year, when Kendall is a little older, we are hoping Brian's family can join us as well.

Happy Easter

Today, Ryan and Ava headed off to church. She was so excited. Last night before we went to bed, she 'packed' for church. She picked out her clothes, which I was a little worried about her doing by herself, but she did pretty good. They look so good in their Easter clothes! I will tyr to add pictures of our Easter egg hunt later.

On a side note, I would like to thank Lillie for being a good friend to Ava. Because Ava loves you so much, the ONLY way she will let me take a picture of her is if I tell her it is for Lillie. So Lillie, if you weren't a part of Ava's life, I probably wouldn't have any pictures of you. We miss you!!!

Easter Fun



Today has been quite a nice day. Ryan had a track meet all day and the kids and I were outside most of the day. We started the morning off by decorating eggs. Ava decided to hide them for Ryan to hunt for when he gets home tonight. As we were decorating, Liam fell asleep while eating a snack in his high chair!


After lunch we spent time outside. Liam LOVES playing in the swingset!!! We also went to Hamilton Town Center to see the Easter Bunny. Unfortunately, it was only walking around, so I wasn't able to get a picture with Liam with it, but Ava was loving him. As we left she said, "Don't forget to hide eggs at my house!"

Happy (belated) Birthday Liam!!!!

William Louis Potter is now 1!!!!! We had a wonderful joint birthday party for him up at Grandma Kathy's and GG's. We spent Spring Break up in good old Elkhart, so it worked out well. Both kids had a fantastic birthday party and enjoyed spending time with the family. We just got back in yesterday, so this week I will put some pictures of the kids from Ava's birthday, spring break and Liam's birthday. I can't believe he is already 1. This past year has definitely flown by fast!!!

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!
