Ryan's Fort!

Lately Ryan has been making A LOT of forts!!!  (Mom isn't always so happy to be picking up pillows and blankets EVERY NIGHT!!!) But it sure keeps him busy and I am happy he has such a good imagination!!!

 

I Am 20 Weeks Old Today!!!

 

Ready for 4K!

We signed Ryan up for 4K this past week.

  He is SO excited for school to start in the fall and I know he is ready!

  Just hope his teacher is ready for him!!!  :)

Grace Tries Rice Cereal!

Gracie girl got to try rice cereal for the first time!  

She did pretty well!

 She is growing up too fast! :(

Bath Time!

I Am 19 Weeks Old!!!

Toothless x6!!!

Ava is loosing teeth left and right lately!  Today she came home from school with the bottom right tooth out!  (This is the 4th one she has lost at school in the past 3 months!!!)  So now, the bottom two (which are her adult teeth) are coming up without any teeth around them.  She looks a lot like Bugs Bunny!!!  ADORABLE! 

Future Olympians!

 We took advantage of the first nice day in a LONG time and got outside for some exercise and fun!  We went to moms school for sledding fun!  Ava discovered she is an excellent snow boarder (with our make shift sled turned snow board and Ryan has a future in the Olympic event-the Skeleton!  He is a natural and has no fear when it comes to going down the hill head first on a little sled!!!

 (This is what happened when I asked Ryan to sit on the sled for a picture... he wiped out just trying to sit down!!!) 

 We had a long laugh over that!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

 Our favorite thing to do right now is cuddle in mom and dads bed at the end of the night and read books.  So for Valentine's Day Ava, Ryan and Grace got lots of new books (and a bit of candy too!)  Thanks as well to Grandma and Grandpa Bille for the gift bags with candy and new stuffed animals!  They are adorable! 

I Am 18 Weeks Old!!!

100 Year Old Ava

In honor of the 100th Day of First Grade today,

 Ava had to dress up like she was 100 years old!!!

Many Faces of Grace

Daddy's Girl!

The Fairy Godmother

Ava came up with this lovely concoction today.  We are getting very creative lately!  I guess that happens when you have to be cooped up all winter!  Just wish it would get a tad warmer so we could enjoy the snow!

ADORABLE!

We are starting to get our outfits ready for Aunt Andrea's (and Jasons) Wedding coming up in May.  Ryan's suspenders came in the mail today!!!!  LOOKING SHARP!!!!

Four Months Old Today!!!

The Future Miss Bille

 Ava got a bunch of her friends together to play school this morning. 

 She even included Grace as one of her students!!!!

I Am 17 Weeks Old Today!!!

(And feeling MUCH better!!!)

Our Toothless Wonder!

Ava lost her 5th tooth today... they seem to be falling out quite frequently lately.  Just short of Christmas... she is now missing her 2 front teeth! (She is starting to look more like Grace--with her toothless smile--every day!)

Sisters!

My New Favorite!

I got a great recipe for crusty bread using a dutch oven.  (Thankfully we had a brand new one in the box from our wedding 9 years ago!)  IT TURNED OUT AWESOME!!!  I am now a professional bread maker!  (I just cant make it too often because I could easily eat this entire loaf!  YUM!)

Fun in the Exersaucer!
