Easter Sunday

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to spend forever with these people!

We had fun scrambling while using the self timer on the camera in order to get a family photo.


Love my little princess girl!


And so does Alec. He is going through a phase where he will ONLY kiss Ava.

While you were working IV...

The kids were my Sous Chefs.

Alec taught Ava a few tricks. Hmmm, do you think they're related?

Ava caught up on her Soaps while Alec napped.

Or so we thought he was napping.

Creepy eyes looking directly into the monitor.

Instead of napping, Alec found other uses for his teddy bear. This is what his room looked like when I walked in.

Dining Room

Our dining room furniture finally came in a few months ago. While I still have a few finishing touches to add, you can still get the idea.

Here is a BEFORE. This is what time room looked like with the previous owners.

Here are some AFTERS. After a major Scott and Heidi overhaul. And by that I mean painting. And by painting I mean we had our painter come in and paint. That's as far as we tend to go with renovations.

I am not crazy (I hate) the chandelier.
But for the time being it will work, especial with the dark picture of the temple and the curtain rod.

As you can see by the picture below, I got the side chairs to coordinate with the chairs that are in our kitchen nook.
That way when we add our table extenders, we will be able to seat 12 people.

I have a few more items left on my list to purchase to complete the room. Such as nic-nacs and these:

April Fools

Yesterday morning I was reminded that April Fools was right around the corner. While I don't consider myself to be a prankster, I did think of a great unoriginal prank. I took a quick trip to the grocery store and paid $7 for a pregnancy test. I then stopped by my sweet friend's house who actually happens to be pregnant and asked her to take a quick potty break. And just like that I had myself a false positive pregnancy test for my poor sweet unsuspecting husband.

It was a classic 5 minutes. Poor guy just about had a heart attack! That was until I told him that the silver lining in the situation was that it was April 1st and that I really was NOT pregnant! His eyes actually watered with tears of joy/relief.



Such a good sport.
Aside from the 5 minutes of sheer panic, it was a harmless prank that has given us a good laugh all day.

Disclaimer: We would be thrilled at ANY time to have a new addition to our family. And we so admire our family and friends that have the patience of Job and are able to have their kids so close together. What fun!

Sup?

Ava Four Months

Ava-Bava, as we call her is four months.

We went to the doctor today and her four month stats are:

Weight: 11.8 lbs
Height: 24 inches
Head: 15.6 inches

That puts her at the 25 percentile across the board. Perfectly proportionate.


At four months she...

Is cute as can be...


Rolls onto her side, mostly to watch Alec or the tv...



Loves her bath time...


Comes out smelling heavenly thanks to Noodle & Boo...

Is becoming more active and alert...


Like an angel she still sleeps through the night in her carseat...


Hangs out in her bouncer on the kitchen counter...


She nurses 1-2 times a day and is fed a formula bottle the rest of the time...




Chills in the Bumbo...




Watches Baby Einstein...


The best part of this month is that she and Alec have become BFF's...

(notice how they are even crossing the same leg?)



They always want to be near each other.

Caught Ya!

Caught without a hat on.

Baller

In case you weren't already aware from my many a posts, but Alec happens to be quite the baller.

He can catch a ball thrown to him.

He has impeccable aim.

Seriously? Look at that follow through.

And...he sinks it.

Apparently I have no problem shamelessly bragging about my child.
I can't help it, we adore watching Alec sink hoops and catch footballs.
We shake our heads in disbelief as he sinks shots time and time again.

Isn't She Lovely?

What in the world did I do before her?

Oh yeah, I blogged about how jealous I was of Scott and Alec's relationship. Found Here.
