Laundry Basket Fun!

Sam decided it would be fun to push Jack and Ava around the kitchen floor wit he laundry basket. Ava loved every minute of it! I enjoy the times that all my kids all playing nicely together, it is so much better than screaming and fighting kids!

Love this little girl!

I had to post these pictures because of Ava's facial expressions and the words on her shirt! Ava really was happy when I took these, for some reason she just has a blank look on her face!

Happy Third Birthday Jack!!

To my fun loving energetic full of life three year old. How did you ever get to big enough to turn three?? It is so hard to believe that three years ago today you came into this world to join your big brother Sam. When I look back on the past three years I think how blessed we have been to have you in our family! You had made our lives fun and exciting! There has never been a dull moment with you around! You keep us constantly on our toes.....I am always having to watch you because you are our curious little monkey....always finding something to get into, something to draw on, something to break or something to tie something to.

How did you ever go from being a 7lb 4 ounce, 19 and a half inches long itty bitty to being a 30 pound ball of energy?!? I love when birthdays come but at the same time I feel just a tad sad thinking that you guys grow another year older. I know that this is how it is supposed to be, but does it have to happen so quickly?!?!

Your daddy and I love you very much.....as do Sam and Ava. It is so fun to see your grow and learn everyday. I am so excited to see what new things come to you this coming year! Have a very happy third birthday!

Sibling Love!

The boys love to have their sister cuddle with each of them in their own bed before they go to sleep. Tonight Ava decided she wanted to give her brothers lots of good messy kisses! How wonderful it is for each of them to have each other!

Can she really be....

10 months old?! Apparently the calendar tells me that she is. Ava turned 10 months old on the 10th. I have so many pictures to go through from the past couple of weeks! Here is one of Ava for her 10 month post. More on her 10 months stats to come later!

Cafe Rio comes to Vernal!

We have been waiting for months for the new Cafe Rio building to finish being built and it finally opened yesterday. Jake went and got us dinner and let me tell you it tasted so good! It's about time Vernal got some yummy food! Even Ava loved the rice and black beans from my pork tacos!

She crawls!

Our baby girl started crawling a few weeks ago but really started taking off crawling everywhere a week ago today! She is all over the place and into everything! You can tell she loves it now that she can moves around everywhere on her own. She especially loves to crawl around and find her brothers. She pulls herself up on her knees, usually in her crib and cries because she can't get down! She is our tiny little girl.....at her nine month well visit she measured 26 1/2 inches long; 8% and weighed in at 15lbs 1oz: 1%! We cannot believe that she will be 10 months old in a few days!

Sam and Ava

Just a picture of Sam and Ava together. Lately Samuel loves to hold Ava in between his legs and "take care of her so she doesn't fall" in his words. Oh and we now have a crawler on our hands. Ava first crawled a couple weeks ago but since Monday she has been taking off and now crawls anywhere and everywhere!
