Ava's 2nd Birthday

Ava had her 2nd birthday at Little Gym.  It was a penguin theme, since she LOVES penguins.  Talia even got a matching big sister outfit.

Talia can walk the balance beam.  There were two of them a short one and a tall one.  She would breeze through the short one and then be more worried about the tall one.  Being the oldest kid there, she was really good helping the little kids.

 Pizza Time

The cake Mommy got from Publix - it's cupcakes.

Yum Yum - we love pizza!

When they put the cake in front of Ava she said, " I need spoon."  I think she thought it was all for her. 

We didn't even think about how the black icing would color the kids faces....

Ava as always is a pretty neat eater. 

Ava's gift grab box from Uncle Matt and Uncle Dan. 

 The motorcycle she got from Nana and PopPop.  Now she can keep up with Talia.

Her baby doll from Mackenzie and Lexi.  She got lots of awesome stuff.  She got a dollhouse, bubble supplies, books, barbies and more :)

The Girls

Ava decided she wanted to ride the My Little Pony.  She she carefully figured out how to sit on the ponies back.

The night of tropical storm Beryl the girls slept in our room - that way everyone was safe and accounted for.  This is what I found when I went to check on them. 

Tonight the girls wanted to sleep together.  I figured it was only a few days earlier than I planned to attempt the toddler bed with Ava.  So we got it out and set up.  She was so excited.  She only came out of the room 2x.  The first with Talia and the 2nd for a diaper change.  She just looked out, shut the door and got back into the bed.  This is how I found them sleeping. 

Talia's 3 year old graduation

I don't really understand why there is a casual 3 year old graduation - but there is.

Here is Talia reading a book with her VPK teacher, Mrs. Gussie.  Talia was moved into the VPK class this past January.  She has excelled since having higher peers.  

Talia and Mrs. Odom.  Mrs. Odom was her 2 year old teacher and taught her the first 1/2 of her 3 year old year.  Talia learned TONS from Mrs. Odom and she loves her greatly.  Her Mommy loves Mrs. Odom too. 

Here is a picture of all the Seniors who help out in the daycare and the kids moving from Mrs. Odom to Mrs. Gussie's VPK next year.

Hanging around the house with our Granny blankets. 

 Today is DADDY'S BIRTHDAY!  I planned it all.  The theme, the cake, the outfits. 

 We had Phineus and Ferb decor, stickers and a pez.  We ordered pizza for dinner and had a Phineus and Ferb cake with chocolate. 

April 2012

As normal Mommy is slacking on our blog.  It's almost June and she has not posted since March.  Well she decided to put all of April in one post.  So here goes. 

Here I am trying to help cook. Mommy loves my help.... I think.  Even though she tells me to" hold my horses".  I don't remember what we were cooking, but I need to get seasonings out. 

I drew this at school.  We are learning about the life cycle. 

It's Passover time again!  We  are always in charge of the Charoset. 

Zoo Fun

Our day at the Zoo with MacKenzie and Lexi.  Talia discovered the standing part of the sit and stand stroller. 

The girls love feeding the giraffes.  I think I love feeding them too.

 Ava was so excited about the kangaroos.

There is a butterfly exhibit open now and Talia wanted the butterflies to land on her.  Of course they didn't because she wanted it. 

We then went to the splash park.  The girls had a great time and wore themselves out.

 We even ran into Shaun and Emily at the splash park. 

Get going turtle, we have places to go!!!

Ava finally liked the carasoul. 

 So did Talia.
