Birthday Party at Super Jump

We went to a birthday party over the weekend at Super Jump Party Zone, the kids had a blast!  We actually hadn't been there since Cristian's birthday last year, so this was the first time little Ava was able to climb  up the to the big slide all by herself.  What a big girl now!
Me, Jenn, and Carter watching all the kids play
Yes, even I joined in on the fun =)
These pictures are extremely blurry, oh well.

Well Rounded Girl

Ava is always making me laugh with the outfits she comes up with.  Today she told me she was a nice, girl pirate.   Ava loves playing with Cristian's toys just as much as her own toys... One minute she'll be a storm trooper chasing Luke through my house, and the next minute she's Tinker bell flying off to Neverland.  (hence the two birthday party themes this year... she couldn't pick between Star Wars and Tinker bell)  She loves playing baseball and doing gymnastics, but she also LOVES to sing and dance around our house with her Hannah Montana stuff.  Her favorite colors are Pink and Green, and her favorite songs are Once Upon A Dream and Star Wars.  She loves reading her Fancy Nancy books and her book about Frogs.  Ava is definitely sugar and spice and everything nice!  Probably the most Girly-Tomboy you'll ever meet =)  
Today I went outside to get the mail and grab something out of my car... and when I walked in the garage door she looked at me and said 

A:  "HALT!  Who goes there?"

Me: "It's Mommy and Carter"

A:  "Ah, ok.   You may enter."

My Little Slugger

He still LOVES baseball!

Family Fun Night

Friday night, we ordered pizza and watched the movie Bolt together!  The kids were all bathed and in their jammies by 6:00. (I know it looks really early out because it's so light, but it really was approaching bed time)
We even ate dinner in the family room while we watched the movie =)  Mmmm... pizza!

Cousins Playdate

**and my favorite one is now posted up top =)  mission accomplished!

Can it be?

Can it be that in less then 2 weeks this guy will be 6 years old?
and in less then 2 months he'll be a First Grader?
I just can't believe it.

Picnic with Ava

Yesterday while Cristian was at school and Carter was napping, Ava and I had a picnic lunch outside!  She was full of conversation and stories and loved having some one-on-one mommy time.

Reading to brother

Grandma Gina and Grandpa Larry got Carter some new books... here's Ava reading them to him =)
And showing him the pictures.

Soccer game
