we have had nothing but SNOW so out came the PAINT! Stephen and I had such a fun time with the kids. For once I just let Cor go to town. He's such a cutie and Ava is so SERIOUS especially with her art work. It was still really fun.

Ava's ???

who knows...but i love all of her drawings

look at these two....

the best husband ever and the sweetest baby girl (see the resemblance?)

Treehouse Museum

Ava's preschool had a field trip to Treehouse Museum. It was my first MAJOR outing with all 3 of my kids alone and we had a BLAST! Ava had so much fun showing everything to Corbin and my rule was they always had to hold hands when they would leave a station. They did GREAT! Corbin just loved being with Ava and loved seeing so many new and different things. It was fun and Sienna well you know she was wonderful and slept the whole time!

Balloon Time!! We have done this with all our kids, it's so funny how they love it.

this just kills me...

Ava was Princess Belle and Daddy was the Beast. They danced to the music and it was the cutest thing EVER!!

Naked Baby

I relized I had never taken a picture of Sienna in front of my fan wall I made her.

Eight Weeks

Yes, I am behind but this pictures was taken by Ava when she was 8 weeks old. It's not the best picture but I do like it! As you can see she is doing really well holding her head up. Sienna has gotten over RSV for the most part, still has a small cough but better. This week I actually returned to work. Stephen has his routine down and kids do great with him. Sienna has become more active and the kids love it. Ava likes to pick her up all by her self and walk around with her, Mommy DOES NOT LIKE THIS unfortunately Sienna does. Corbin continues to poke and prod at her, but once again she doesn't seem to really mind.

Corbin Speaks Spanish

Corbin LOVES Diego & Dora! Corbin is just about to be 2 and he has finally started to really talk but the other morning we were getting ready to go and we heard Corbin yelling at Diego "Gracias Amigos" What really?? He doesn't even say Thank You in ENGLISH!! In the words of Corbin "Go GO Go Go Diego"

Day 2 of SUNSHINE

I have decided that this summer will be a FUN, FUN, SUMMER! Corbin will be 2 soon and he will LOVE being outside. It was a little preview waatching him dig, find sticks, rocks and playing in the dirt. Ava will love having her little brother outside playing with her.

Sister Love

My girls...what can I say? This week has been a little nervous for me. Ava has started to pick up Sienna by herself. She loves to feed her and take care of her. Today Ava told me that she was Sienna's Mommy and I asked her who I was and she said I was the Grandma! Really??? It is fun to think about the days when they will be friends and do so much together. For now it is just fun to see Ava take such good care of her little sister!

Just What The Dr Ordered

Sienna finally got over her RSV, just in time for Corbin to get really sick. Somewhere in there I got sick and Ava decided to be the caboose. It seemed like a long couple of weeks with nothing but sick, sick babies. I was excited the sun started to shine. It got into the 50's so outside we went. Ava has gotten good on her bike and I am trying to loose the extra baby weight so my goal is to take as many walks as I can. It felt so nice to be out in the sunshine!

I'm going to miss this....

It's so hard to believe that I am wrapping up my maternity leave. It all seems like it went so fast. Even though I am only going to work only 25 hours a week, and they will be home with their Daddy I am still sad. Although I think secretly Stephen is ready for his Daddy time with the kids and I am ready to see my friends and spend time with some adults!! See you next week COSTCO

Some Family Valentine Fun

I love it when we have family night! Ava made some goodies for her party at school. Stephen is such a GREAT Daddy, he doesn't care what we are doing he just wants to spend time with his kids! Love it and Love out little family!
