BuiLD-a-BeaR

Whenever Olivia comes to town she always seems to get Papa Grande to take her and the Girls to

BUILD-a-BEAR!

Thanks Papa!

CraZy HelpEr!

I Don't know if I would say she is a HELPER!

When she "Helps" it always seems to take twice as long and the mess is always twice as big!
Don't you just love when your kids "HELP"?

"It's geTTing ME"

Yesterday was my Aunt Linda's Birthday
So last night we had Cake and Ice Cream for her at my Families house. And Ava was definitely the Entertainment. My cousin Graham had this Laser Pen and would shine it on Ava and she would Freak out. Just watch the video and see!

And this video was taken after like an hour of them shining it on her... you would think that she would be over it and understand what it was, but NO! The first time she was Crying and Shaking!

Kind of Sad... But way FUNNY!

We had a Fun and Crazy Easter...
We had so much to do and not enough time! We go to church at 12:30 and we had to Teach our Marriage and Family Class. After Church we hurried over to my Grandma Rhineers house for Dinner and the Easter Egg Hunt. Then at 6 we went to Sullivan's for my mom's side of the family. They we were eating too so if we wanted we could of had 2 dinners. But with all the Food and Candy we had eaten we decided to just have one Dinner. Even though we missed Ryan's side of family (Cause they are in California for there spring break) it was nice that we didn't have to try and go to 3 families! `

Ava's Easter Dress! I Love it... So cute!
She even had way cute blue Shoes (That used to be Olivia's) But Ava made me take them off right before the Picture. So we will have to play dress up again so you can see the whole outfit!

Easter Egg Hunt with Rhinner's
(Dad's Side)
Ava loves going to my Grandma's house cause there is always so many little kids around her age to play with.

Easter Party at Sullivan's
(Mom's Side)
We had a Easter Egg hunt but on that side of the family there is only 3 kids under the age of 6 so we decided to make some of the older kids do it too! So we wrote Numbers on the eggs for the older kids and they could only pick up the eggs with the number they were assigned.
Oh yeah did i mention that before all of this even started Ava was telling me she was tired so lets just say that she was not that Pleasant and everything made her cry and the day ended with her throwing a temper tantrum and us throwing her in Bed!
But we LOVE Easter!

Ava using her New Jump Rope!
Wow... She's GOOD!

StOry TiMe (ToDDler TiMe) @ The LiBrary

Every Wednesday we go to Toddler Time at the Library, it is a day that Ava looks forward to all Week. Each week they talk about a different Letter this week was the letter Y. And with Easter this week they talked about Easter stuff and read a bunny book. Ava gets SO into it she Loves all the Songs they Sing and at the end they give you a Coloring Page. So if anyone wants to Join us We go Every Wednesday to the 11:10 session. (but you have to be there early to get a spot cause it gets really crowded) This week Lori, Matthew and baby Milo came too!

Nursery Easter P-A-R-T-Y!

This past Saturday we went to
Ava's Nursery Easter Party!
She was SO excited about it. We Colored Bags for their Easter Egg Hunt, Played Musical Chairs with Colors, Had an Easter Egg Hunt ( inside the Church cause it was SNOWING ) And we had some GOOD Sugar Cookies! We love Nursery Parties!

Reading Makes Me SO Tired

( I love the book she is reading too! )

CadBuRy MiNi eGGs

The BEST EASTER CANDY Ever!!
Ever since they pulled out the Easter candy at the Grocery Store my Cadbury Mini Eggs have been calling my name. I have tried so hard to ignore them because I have a tendency of eating the whole bag in a matter of days (or day) But today when I was at the Store they were YELLING my name saying "Jamie Buy Me... Eat me." So I did and they are almost gone.

NiCe BUM... Where you from?

Well Ava has been going Potty all by herself. She pulls down her underwear (or pull-ups) goes in the bathroom and sits on her little potty. When she is done she pulls up her underwear and off she goes. But on this particular day she didn't quite pull it all the way up, and it took more then 10 minutes to realize her little bum was showing.
Cute Bum Though!

Snot BuBBle!

So this past week Ava has been sick with the Flu. She has had a Fever, a bad Cough and a Nasty Runny Nose... Which has led to this Wonderful Sight ENJOY!
