Easter!

Look at Avery's face!LOL! She's so funny about getting her picture taken...weird child of mine :)

.

Avery got a bunch of clothes for Easter. She's growing so fast I just went all out and got her a bunch of dresses, shirts, pants and socks.
She also got a book of animals and bubbles, of course! :)

She got some summer sandals, too!

My little man that's still to young to care got some sippy cups, clothes and a Noahs Arc baby eistein video....As you can see below, it's been a big day and I think we're all pooped :)

Coloring Easter Eggs!

We actually colored Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday.
Harley had to work so we decided to celebrate the Easter Bunny this morning.

.

Avery loves doing 'arts and crafts' :)
We headed out to grandma and grandpa Roskelley's so I could do some laundry (our washing machine broke :( ) and color Easter Eggs!

I made Avery take her shirt off and put on an apron Aunt Heather made in sewing class :)

Easter egg coloring kits are such a disappointment. I bought some glitter glue to make it a little more entertaining for Miss Aves :)

She, of course, loved them and went to town on her eggs...then when the glitter became boring grandma busted out the stickers ;)

Avery Gave Up the Binky!...

.....With a little help ;)

Harley and I decided with her 3rd birthday coming up this month we should get rid of the binkis. So, we cut the tips off of them, put them in a bowl, showed them to her and told her they were broken....

....She told us to go get her her hammer and she would fix them.
One by one she hammered, put in her mouth and decided, yup, they're all broken :( We told her that she's a big girl now and doesn't need things like binkis...and that if she threw them away we'd take her to the store for bubbles. She agreed :)

That night was a little bit rough and the next day there were a few screaming fits of 'I WANT MY ORANGE BINKI!', which we still haven't found...
.
.
All in all she's been a champ about the whole thing! We're very proud of her and she's doing amazing after giving up her security blanket!!!

Someone's ready for SuMmEr!!!

I LOVE that she will actually wear these goggles! :)

We've been going to the indoor pool quite a bit the last few months but I'm so ready for it to be warmer weather!!

.....and so is Avery! She LOVES the water and swimming!

In the photograph above you can see her little dance bar!
...goggles and dancing...hhmmm.

Life Is GOOD!

This little guy is getting around and into EVERYTHING!!

.

Yes, his feet are resting nicely on the fridge :)

Nothing like rolling around on the ground without a care in the world and resting your feel up on the fridge...life is GOOD! :)

NiGt OuT!...with both kids ;)

Last night we ventured out with the kids to Red Robin :)
.
.

Here's out little man enjoying Miss Averys spaghetti :)

Two of my favorite things...Avery and Harley ;)
Look at those looks of complete adoration!

Cash is the type of baby that goes to bed so nicely...
You can lay him down in his crib wide awake and he'll put himself to sleep...
every parents dream!

The latest dinosaur Avery is obsessed with is an
Archaeopteryx: (ar-kee-OP-ter-ix) Identified by many Paleontologists as the first bird. It's kind of funny having a child that is so obsessed with something that I personally question as to why 'it' ever existed!lol I say dinosaurs roamed the earth so there would be job security later in life for people like...well, Avery! ;)

Love Bathtime!

Some parents don't particularly like bath~time; I on the other hand LOVE it:)
.
.

My kids happen to love it as well..
Cash is big enough to sit up all by himself...with mom or dad close by of course;]

The picture below is Avery asking if 'the sky is clear' aka any boogies in my nose?

Avery always throws a fit when we get Cash out of the tub first because her play partner is gone...I always get after her but, secretly love it :)
