Hope you all had a fun St. Patrick Day, April Fools, and Easter. Now its time to get ready for Christmas.

Cuteness during the snow storm(in feb.)

I found these cute pictures of Ava last week. I took these in February while the snow was falling and we were trapped in the house.



We did a lot of this!



Mommy was not doing a lot of this. Ava loved this hat and wore it inside as well as outside.

The ER Trip

About a month ago I was cooking dinner and looked over at Ava sitting at the table. She had her head laying down and would not look at me when I called her name. I was scared she was limp and would not respond to me, I called Kyle and of course he thought I was over reacting. Kyle was in the 10 minutes when he said we needed to go to the ER. As soon as we got to the check in desk Ava started vomiting. That got us seen very quickly. Ava's fever was 104.8. Ava looked horrible it was very scary. They put a pill in her butt forgot what they call it but it is used to bring a fever down. After a bit she started to come around and was interested in a Popsicle. Our other little girl was once again upset that she was not the one getting to wear a hospital gown. The doctors said she had a very fast moving virus. Ava had no symptoms threw out the day and went from her normal self to limp on the table within 25 minutes. The picture of Ava was taken at 11:45pm.

Emma's Pinkalicious party

Our Birthday girl just before the party.



The decorations I would say I didn't over do it this year. But that's just me.





Emma and the Pinkalicious Cupcake(if you haven't read the book Pinkalicious you should, it is a very cute book).



Coloring with pink of course.



Story time.



And the Birthday girl. Emma is so much fun, she makes us laugh every day. She is 4 going on 14 and tells me almost every day she want to get married(I think it mostly because of the dress, thank goodness). I hope to remember and enjoy our time with her while she is still little because she is growing up so fast.

Chuck E. Cheese

Thanks to Curious George (well actually the commercials just before it) Emma has been asking to go to Chuck E. Cheese for months. He birthday was just around the corner so we decided to finally give in and give it a try. Not as crazy or as loud as I expected but defiantly more expensive and food was what I had thought it would be. GROSS!!! But Emma had a good time and enjoyed her Birthday.

The real Ava

This is Ava my sweet, tiny, quite daughter to those who don't know her and those that do know that this picture represents her true personality.



The real Ava is loud, crazy, and adventurous. Recently after doing who know what Ava cut her lip open but because of how fragile the lip is they don't do stitches. On an average day at our home I usually find my self hunting for Ava at least once, few days ago I circle the house three times and finally found her in the hall bathroom in the bath tub with the curtain still closed(she loves bath time). I love her personality her sister and her are so different.

Blizzard 2010

The snow was so deep it was hard for the girls to play in. Emma experinces many lost boots in the deep snow.



This measurement was before the second storm hit.



Kyle had to walk to the main road where our car was parked with two feet of snow we are not able to get in or out of our neighborhood. These pictures were taken after the second storm had started.





After many days of snow and some where around 30 inches we finially were able to enjoy the snow.



Ava enjoyed sledding and had a hard time waiting her turn.








Well all in all being tuck in the house for days was a little boring but we didn't lose power so tat was a blessing. I do enjoy the snow but maybe next year a little less would be nice.

Day 6-8 Dinsey World Vaction 2010

Day 6 Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney.



Mommy and Emma got matching necklaces.









Playing in the fountain at Downtown Disney.







We spent our last day at the Magic Kingdom.





At the airport heading home.



We left Orlando wearing short with 75 degree temperatures and landed in D.C. where it was freezing cold and snowing.



After our long drive from the airport we had Christmas again. The girls and I had not been home since before Christmas so we had all the girls presents from Santa and us under the tree.





Emma got a scooter from Santa and American girl twins from us. Santa brought Ava a doll stroller and a American girl baby doll.
