Happy Mother's Day

Sheri took my girls and I to a church function for Mother's and Daughters. They had 'stations' set up all around the gym, and at each station was a craft or fingernail painting you were able to do with your daughter. Ava had a blast! She loves creating and making projects. Here we are making a 'scrapbooking' page to glue a photo of us that they took when we first arrived.

Ava made this beautiful flower clip. All pink, of course, since it's her favorite color.

Abby getting in on the action. Grandma Sheri was on "baby duty". (thanks, Sheri!)

Showing off our flower clips.

Abby Rose. (I made this?)

Thank you Sheri for including us in some fun fun fun mommy/daughter time!

Happy Easter!

"Crazy Daisy" jumped inbetween us, and grabbed Ava's bunny! Daisy is such a sweet dog!!!! Ava and Daisy played the WHOLE time.
Easter Bunny Abby

Ava and her Easter "goodies"

I know my brothers and sisters are SO JEALOUS when they see these pictures!

Awwwww....matching dresses and all!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

My two little angels. I finally capture a smile from Abby.
Hmm...I wonder where Abby inherited her pretty blue eyes?
Namma and Bappa came for a visit. Not an easy feat getting here, especially since Namma has a broken ankle!
(Abby's usual 'deer in headlights' look)


Bappa was a trooper. He was doing triple duty...... Such a good sport. He played endlessly game after game after game after game with Ava, and still wears a smile.

Ava's a genius. Loves her puzzles!!!

My Irish Princess.

While I am putting together our many photos of our trip, I thought I would post this moment I caught between Ava and Abby. Abby was laughing so hard! I finally caught her beautiful smile...

Winter Carnival 2010

Mommy lost the coin toss who gets to ride with Ava.
Craig, at least, was hidden from sight......

....but if you notice...WE ARE THE ONLY ONES dumb enough to take our kids to a carnival when it's freezing outside.

Ava got extra long rides, since no one else was there!
(prepping her for Disney rides next week)

I won "The Winter Carnival" gift basket worth $735.00.

Nobody seems surprised anymore...I always win at these things!

Happy 4th Birthday Ava!

It was an event filled birthday for my sunshine, Ava. We had a family party/dinner at Chapala, where Ava was thrilled to wear the birthday hat. Lots of great gifts and cards from everyone. Thank you.

Then we had a combined birthday party for Ava & William, (no gifts thank goodness) at the ice skating rink where their friends joined in for pizza, cake, and skating.

Happy Birthday my dearest Ava!!!!!

Jorgenson Wedding

We are so happy for Patti & Steve. It was a pleasure to be able to meet the Jorgenson family prior to the event. What an incredible family. We'd like to thank the Epperson family for hosting & helping them have a beautiful, memorable, and happy occasion.

Welcome Steve, Hannah, and Max!
