Happy Easter

Our night out!

Dustin and I had a great time at the Cameo house celebrating St. Pattys Day! We got to just hang out with a bunch of our favorite people and dance the night away. Thanks to our sweet babysitters, all our little lovies were in bed safe and sound. Thanks girls for a GREAT party!

Sweetness

Foosball Baby!

"I love my tongue!"

Sweet loving brothers

I love naked Piggies!

The boys LOVE their kitties!

Dylan and Ava

It was once again a beautiful day here in Charlotte and the kiddos and I could not resist spending ALL day outside! (we even got a little sunburn) Dylan was in rare form and saw that I had the camera out and just started walking around me "striking a pose". He is a riot! Here Little Miss Ava tries out the grass on her own terms and is just to darn cute not to snap photos all day long!

What else would a hammock be for?!

Mondays!

We love Mondays! We usually stay in our PJs all day and play. (We try to have a no car day) Today was such a beautiful day that we all got dressed and spent the afternoon outside!

Ava Joy loves loves to swing and good thing since she HATES being put down on the grass! Bryce got stung by a bee and it was so cute to see Ty be such a big brother and try to fix it with baking soda and water! Dylan came at the very end to "help" spread the "bee stinger stuff" all over his entire foot!

"We get to ride a REAL train??!!"

Saturday we got to ride the new light rail in Charlotte. We all rode round trip for just $5.00! We caught the train to the Imagine On Center where we got to see cool displays, run races, and read stories. We then had a quick lunch at Brixx Pizza and took the train back home. The boys just could not believe that we all really got to "ride a real train." It was a fabulous family day!

Yummy.... Or Not!

Ava Joy has finally ventured out and started trying more food than her yummy bananas, mangoes, carrots, butternut squash and avocados. Today she tried some pureed peas! She was not so sure she liked it too much. (the boys are having their nightly wrestling match in the other room, music blaring of course!)

This is the way we do homeschool, do homeschool, do...

... homeschool to our favorite song from our sweet friend Melissa! We generally sit around the island around 9:00 AM to "do school." Typically, Ava Joy is napping, but here you can see she was a bit off her schedule today, so she got to join us and suck on a pear in her "safety fruit feeder" Tyler decided to do school in his under pants and a pair of chaps, while Dylan and Bryce stayed in their mixed matched PJ's. Dylan eventually got bored cutting and coloring and wondered into the play room where he climbed the shelf (imagine, Dylan climbing), and turned up the music as loud as it would go to sing his favorite school song, "Stop and Go." So fun, really it is so fun teaching my little munchkins in their PJS and watching them light up when they get something right!! So sweet!

Random Pictures

Well here are a few random pictures from past couple of weeks. The first one is from a Bridal shower, enough said :-) There are a few pictures of the boys loving on each other and playing backyard soccer with Daddy. Ava Joy got to see Uncle Tom last week, funny how much she really was into him. Last one is from our girls night where we watched Step Up and had dinner at Heidi's house then off to the theater to see Step Up II! It was a great time, here Ava is dancing with Heidi!
