Quality time....


We took a surprise field trip to Evergreen Park the other day, it was so nice out! We stopped by McGavin's Bakery beforehand and I told the little ladies they could each pick out a cookie to take to the park. I steered them to the Christmas cookies on the discount rack, they can't taste the difference, right? :) At least they had sprinkles..red and green..but hey now...sprinkles! Then we made our way to the park, which was still a surprise, and they loved the excitement of a surprise!



How great/confusing it must be to fall asleep, and wake up at a new exciting place all the time! If I were a baby I would love nap time! Wait... I do love (and really miss) nap time.



M: I don't know what I love more, toting this slobbery cookie around for the rest of the day, or being pushed on this swing by my awesome big sister!

A: Mom, don't make me share this swing with my little sister again. Ever.


O: Check it out Mom!


Olivia is a big 5 year old now, and she loves to experiment with her boundaries for safety! Not really, I am just a scaredy momma, and would rather have my little baby keep both feet on the ground (firmly). She loves fireman poles, tunnel tube slides that twist and turn (!), and all kinds of stuff that would take some major incentive for me to consider at her age, or even now! She must get this from her daddy!


Ava is really intellectually advancing right now. I can't predict what she wants to talk about any more. Her thoughts are so wonderful and enchanting to me. It's like having a new girlfriend to talk to all day long! Also- if anyone asks her her name, she will politely reply, "Ava Clair Bear Bambino." It is the cutest!


NEWS of the WEEK! Makayla is walking! We are all enjoying this milestone, it is so fun to watch her bathe in the praise after she walks to someone. She is so proud of herself, and loves that we are all fixated by this long awaited task!


Scott and I are so in love with each other, and our children. They teach us more important lessons than we could ever teach them. We talk all the time about how thankful that we are on the path that our decisions have led us. We are so grateful for our church, family and friends. Most of all, Heavenly Father and Jesus; and the example they have given us to follow.
