Easter

Im sorry Avalee, I had to get a picture. so funny but so so sad! She was shaken up all day.

This year we spent Easter in Rexburg (surprise) with all our family. And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way :) We had a blast. Avalee and I spent the week before Easter in Rexburg. Every day was seriously so fun. We went shopping, had a fabulous pedicure, played with cousins, bowling, and had some amazing food. My mom made sure all my pregnancy cravings were met :) Chinese Fongs dinner, Huge green salad covered in Chizs ranch, Mexican plum loco, her home made bread- mmmm-, and enough easter candy to last a lifetime. (Im taking this cravings thing too far- Im going to get HUGE!!)
Here are some pics from the week....

The eggs and basket- best toy a one year old could ask for.

Enjoying our ice cream fill for the day.

She hates when we brush her teeth but loves playing with the toothbrush and paste.

We went shopping at toysRus and Avy managed to hug (and pull off the shelf) every baby there. Such a good little mommy. (hello crazy legs?? ha)

We got to spend some time with Doug and Aly and their babies- Avy was chasing those kitties all over. I hope they are not traumatized.

My family was kind enough to give into one of my many cravings ( I keep using pregnancy as an excuse but I actually crave Plum Loco all the time) Delish!!!

We had a totally awesome night of bowling and mini golfing with the Webster clan. So much fun! Avalee was in heaven.





(notice Avy stealing everyones golf balls. ha)
This was suppose to be a really cool picture with a huge double rainbow in the back but it didn't really turn out that way...still adorable kiddos


We started off the Easter festivities with the Thomasons. Bonnie and Warren obviously had an amazing dinner and a epic Easter egg hunt. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we spent most of the day sitting in their beautiful back yard just talking and laughing. The kids were in heaven riding the four wheelers and motor bikes. Such a perfect day.

(warning- I got a new camera for my birthday and I'm totally in love with it. So just enjoy the 400 pictures I took trying to figure out how it works)













Easter Sunday was spent with the Websters. We spent the day playing with Easter baskets and toys and cousins and more eating. Avy decided to take a nap right durring Church so I obviously had to take a nap with her- oops. Sorry. But my mom made cute little easter projects for us to do so we did remember the true meaning of Easter :) It was another beautiful day and we had a wonderful time!!
 I tried to do a mini photo shoot with the little girls and their Easter dresses. Now that I have this fun camera I try to pretend I'm a professional but I actually have no idea what I am doing. They still turned out pretty cute.  Most adorable dresses ever (thank you Janet)




















End of March update...

Well, we started off the month all sick again. The weather was crappy and we were bored. But now we are all feeling good and healthy (knock on wood) and the weather is so beautiful. We are all ready for spring!

I wanted to find Avy a little bike for the summer. So I went to walmart and the little tricycles were not only way to big for her, but expensive! I saw this little four wheeler and it was the same price as the little trike so we got the ATV!! It is so funny. She cant quite steer yet, but it sure is cute.


Her cute curly hair is actually getting pretty long. We can finally do little pig tails. CUTE!
And Im pretty sure everyone knows by now BUT.... We are expecting baby #2 the end of September!! She is already so good with babies :)




 It was a little surprise but we could not be more excited! I am now 15 weeks and feeling so much better. Those first few months are killer :(
I have been really craving icecream (or just using the pregnancy as an excuse to eat it all the time) So it has become part of our night time routine

I am also taking every opportunity I have to take naps. I know when the baby comes naps wont be a part of my life any more :(
