This slide was really big and Ava was terrified...look closely!

And of course, Briant being really cheesy!

ZOO!!!






Ava loved the zoo with her cousins. We were there all day and it felt like forever with so many kids to watch and keep track of, but it was fun to see all the animals with Ava for the first time!

Cousins cousins cousins!

One fun early morning with the cousins: Rubie, Crew, Brec, Ryann, Daxton, and Ava.

This is Brec enjoying a plate full of rice on his lap.

I had to get a picture of everyone with their blanky's on the tramp.


And of course, we had fun in the park, again! My next post will be at the zoo!

Sunny days!




We had a lot of fun with cousins this past week! We put a big sprinkler underneath the trampoline and the kids loved it! We also went swimming a lot and had fun at the park!

lovin' the yogurt and haircut


I found Brec squeezing as much yogurt as he could out of someone's go-gurt. He loved painting it everywhere as you can see. Notice his long hair in these two pics and then look at his new haircut in the following pics:


Yes, I did it myself. I was sick of seeing straggly hairs hanging over his ears. Plus he looked like a little old man with shorter hair on top and then thicker hair around the sides of his head. I was brave to try to use the clippers, and it definitely was a challenge with him climbing on me while I was cutting, but it all worked out and I thought it turned out pretty good. I have a ton of pictures to post from this last weeks events so I will be posting more!!!!

Fun in the pool!


So my friend Amy calls me up yesterday and invites us to swim and that she had dinner for me! Wow, that doesn't happen very often! No cooking and lounging in the sun is my kind of day. (No kids would have been better, but I think I am asking too much.) Anyways, It was Brec's real first time in the water since he was an infant and not being in a tub. He loved it! Thanks Amy for the invite and you can cook me dinner anytime!

another day at the park/snow white


These are just a couple more pics of us at a park feeding the ducks!


We went to the Tempe art festival and all the sudden we see Snow White! Ava was so excited, but got really shy! She normally does not get shy, but I think she was star struck and was really excited. It was the cutest thing to see her little face look up to her! We definitely need to take her to Disneyland soon!

A day of fun at the park!

Here we are at train park a few weekends ago. My mom was in town so we had to go out and play!

Did you notice that Brec is naked! So, we pull up to the park and pull him out of his carseat and notice that he is poopy. I then opened the back of our car to change him. Poop was everywhere, and I only had one wipe left! So, I had to make do and clean as much up as I possibily could with this one wipe and a couple of napkins. He pooped all over his shorts and shirt and up his back, plus when I got to the bathroom to finish cleaning things up I noticed that I had poop on my shirt when I took him out of his carseat. I was not very happy because the stupid bathroom only had the hand air dryers so I tried to use toilet paper to clean off my shirt and it then balled up all over it and I was trying to pick off all the little toilet paper balls off my wet shirt that stunk like poo! At least it was a warm day and Brec enjoyed being naked and my shirt was able to dry!




I had to get a pic of Ava all muddy. I told her to not get in the muddy water and so she was just wading in it and thought she was still avoiding getting herself dirty when she didn't notice that when she would squat down to pick up something that her skirt hung down into the water in the back. Thank goodness I had an extra change of clothes in the car for her.....(why didn't I bring Brec an extra change of clothes? I don't know!) Anyways, we had a lot of fun playing in the hot hot sun!
