Diaper Cake...

As most of you know, Ashley (my sis-in-law) is having a little girl in June. I love to do showers of pretty much any kind so of course, Heather and I decided to do one for Ashley. Heather decided that we should try to do a diaper cake and had this darling idea!! I think it turned out so cute!! It really was not hard to make and only cost about $25-30. Just thought I would share this really cute idea with everyone. Tis the season for babies. Thanks Heather for the great idea!

Easter Weekend

This Easter seemed to be the most fun yet! Friday we decided to hit up the Baby Animal Day. We had so much fun. Ava was actually really into it this year. One of the best $14 we have spent on a fun afternoon. I think that all the adults had just as much fun as the kids. Saturday we got up and did the Hyde Park egg hunt, that went way too fast! At lees that morning they also did an easter hunt. It was a mad house over there. So later that afternoon we decided to go to Natalie and Eric's house to color our easter eggs. They turned out so BRIGHT and SPARKLY. They colors were so pretty. Sunday the Easter Bunny came and Ava had lots of good treats. We went to my moms for dinner and of course Ava got to show off her cute new dress. After a well needed nap that afternoon, Cade was off to work and a long weekend finally came to an end. Having kids can be so exhausting!

Scentsy Time

FYI: My sister Heather is having a scentsy party next Tuesday night 3/31 from 6:30 to 8. Just wanted to let everyone know so if you need something let me know. You are all welcome to come to the party or if you can't make it that's OK too. Just let me know if you want her to order something!!

she walks.

ava started walking about 2 weeks ago. the night before cade and i went to vegas she got up and walked out of our room and to the bathroom. we just looked at each other like... wow. so while we were gone she got much better. today she just cruises all around. take a look at our big girl.

what happens in vegas....

so we took a little trip to vegas over the weekend. we had a really good time. aaron and ashley went with us (actually it was ashley's idea since it was her b-day). i decided that we are a little pathetic!!! i thought we would party like we were 18, but nope. i recall the whole weekend. we were even in bed by 10:45 the first night we were there. we stayed on fremont street and had a lot more fun than we did when we went to the strip. there seemed to be less people and more things to do. the pool at our hotel was pretty cool. there was a big aquarium with sharks and fish in it and a water slide that went through it. it was really fun. i kind of wished we had another day to go a few more places, but i was really glad to get home and see my baby... that is WALKING!!

Valentine Day Surprise...

so today was valentine's day and cade has once again outdone me!!!! we had agreed not to get gifts for each other since next week are leaving for vegas. well ava and i made cute little cards for cade (1st picture). when i woke up this morning and went into the living room i found his present to me..... he is the sweetest guy ever. sometimes i wonder how i got so lucky to have him.

so cute.... i love these so much!!!!

i can't wait to get these hung on the wall. family really is the most important thing in our lives and i will never forget that, especially when i get to wake up to these beautiful pictures of my little family!!!!!!

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN HACKED

>> Friday, February 6, 2009 – Hacking by Cade

This page has been hacked by none other than............... Cade! This is my favorite picture of Tina and Ava. This was taken at a run down pump house in Fielding and yes I was the amazing photographer with the mad skills! (Oh ya, Tana did some editing for me) Ava has so much personality, just like her mom. I grew up surrounded by girls and I will die surrounded by girls, couldn't have a better group of women in my life. Yes yes, that includes my sisters and mother, the same as Tina's sisters and mother. I didn't think she would post this picture so I thought I would. I love you Tina and don't call the cops on me for stealing your password!

Here is a little video from the other night with my two favorite ladies rough housing on the bed. They do play well together considering their age difference.

Oh my hell! it took like an hour to load this video and Tina has been home the whole time.

lots going on at our house

It seems like a lot has happened in the last couple of weeks. Ava has really started to change. She is learning things so fast. She has started to do faces that show "happy, mad, and scared" it is so funny. She is learning what baby animals say, but really only remembers a few. She started standing alone a couple of weeks ago and then last night at my moms house she took 4 steps all by herself. She now is addicted to MITTENS!! She wears them everywhere. If one happens to come off she gets so mad. It is so funny. She will sometimes wear them to bed and then in the morning when I go in to get her she has them in her hands ready to put on. She is just so funny. I did have to post a couple of pictures of her pigtails!! This was the first time I was able to get both done without her throwing a fit. they are so tiny that they look kind of funny, but oh well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!!!!

Ava had her FIRST Birthday on Saturday and it was so fun. She didn't really get into her presents and didn't really get into the cake, but it was still fun. I can't believe that our "baby" is not a baby anymore! This was a very Bitter Sweet day for me. Only a couple of tears though.
