Happy Birthday Sam!!

Our First born turned 5 today!! How is that possible that I have a 5 year old now?!?! In just a few weeks we go to kindergarten registration with him. It is so hard to believe that my baby boy is going to be starting Kindergarten. Why does time have to go by as fast as it does? I wish we could keep our children little a tad bit longer :)

16 months old

Happy 16 months old today Ava! We love you very much....and you know it too! We even love that snotty, teary eyed, messy face!

Hands in my pocket

One day while Jake was home for lunch he noticed Ava was walking around with her hands in her pocket. She thought it was fun for a while and then I think she got annoyed with me asking her to put her hands in her pocket so I could take pictures! She is one sweet little girl!

First trim

*Before*


*During*



*After*

I decided it was time for her Ava's first hair trim. She was starting to get the mullet look on the back of her hair. My neighbor Mindy came over and trimmed the back of her hair just a bit. Ava took one look at Mindy and lost it. She probably thought I was leaving her again as Mindy watched our kids for an hour the other day. There wasn't much to trim but she trimmed just enough of it off so it was bye bye mullet! Now maybe we can start getting her hair to grow more evenly!
