Sweetest Card Ever!

There's nothing sweeter than the innocence of a first grader. I turned 31 last week and spent the weekend in Dallas with family. My sweet William gave me this card. Perhaps he got his words a little mixed up - but that's what makes it so perfect!

Backyard Camping

It's been a long long while since our last post.....
Scott set his tent up in the backyard last week so Ava could "camp" for a few minutes. I can't tell who had more fun...Scott or Ava?!?!
Good Times!

Signs of Spring

My neighbor, Nash, invited me to take a peek at his newborn bunny rabbits. They are so cute and teensy tiny! Nash and I love to play outside together...We are so thankful for our sweet neighbors!

Planting With Papa

William and I helped Papa plant a few summer veggies before we headed home today.
I love eating Papa's summer time vegetables.....yum yum!
We had a great week in Texas and are home safe and sound!

He is Risen Indeed!

Happy Easter!
We had a great Morning! After church, William and I had loads of fun with our Easter baskets!

....digging, digging, digging....
...sweet cousin time...Ava took it upon herself to re-set Mum's table to that she and William were together, side by side! They love each other so much!

Cabin Fever

We have been sick and stuck inside since Friday. Ava went to the doctor on Friday morning and had a chest x-ray which found a VERY mild case of phneumonia...ughhhh! We are putting forth a valiant effort to stay away from germs and other people until her little body gets better. As long as she has no fever, she's not contagious...we've just passed the 24 hour mark. She woke up this morning acting like herself....so here's to hoping we're getting close to normal! Mommy needs to get out and go somewhere!

Sharing the Love

On the eve of Valentine's Day, Mr. Mailman made a stop at my house! Thanks, Mum and Papa for the box full of goodies! What a super-fun surprise to get a box just for me! I Love You!

We stopped by Prima Isabella's house to play. Grammy and Pappy sent a box for Isabella and I! What fun!!!! Thanks for the cool toy! I love it! Isabella and I traded our Valentines and had a great time playing together! I Love You!


Cupcakes, Sprinkles, and Lots of Love


We had a very happy Valentine's Day at my house! Daddy drew me a special card and gave both of his girls some special treats! We had a great day together! Thursday morning, I had a few friends over to decorate cupcakes and play.....playdates are always fun when there are sprinkles involved! Making Valentine cupcakes is becoming a tradition at my house. I hope we do it again next year!
