If at first you don't succeed....

try, try again, and again, and again, and again, until you sit down on your knees, suck on your finger and let out a big yawn! This is what Ava was working on last week before bed. She took her first steps a couple weeks ago and has been practicing ever since. She will usually take a few steps and then either fall down or sit down and then stand right back up do do it again and again and again. She is getting better everyday but still finds is much faster to crawl to what she wants!

My three greatest accomplishments!

Funny how I am the only one with dark hair!! How did that happen?!?! No matter what color of hair they have these two handsome guys and my beautiful doll are my greatest joys!

Going Private

More and more people are going private with their blog. After talking to Jake, we have decided to make our blog private. I love having my blog as a journal/scrapbook and also to keep in touch with family and friends. If you would like to continue viewing our blog, please leave a comment with your email address and I would love to add you. I would love to add anyone who wants to keep peeking at our blog, even if you are a blog stalker! I tend to be a big blog stalker, as I am sure most of you are too! I will be making it private at the end of the month. **UPDATE** I have already published some comments with email addresses but have had a request to not post an email address, so for all future people leaving me a comment with their email address, I will still receive it but will not publish it so that if you don't feel comfortable posting your email, no one else will see it.

Eucerin Cream

These pictures tell it all! Jack is our WILD CHILD!! He got into the Eucerin Cream! When I asked him why he says "but I have dry skin mom!" I CANNOT leave this kid alone for even a minute, if I do, he is usually getting into something, destroying something, or coloring on walls and toys. Even though he keeps me VERY busy, I love that he brings so much excitement into our home!

She has her OWN chair

Santa finally delivered Ava's new chair this morning! She loves it and now she can sit is her own chair instead of stealing her brother's chairs!

Chex Muddy Buddies

The boys and I made chex muddy buddies the other day after dinner. The boys were eating the extra peanut butter/chocolate/butter mix and Ava wanted in on the fun too. This girl enjoyed every bit of it!
