Bike Ride

Yesterday we had beautiful weather for it being March and the girls have been enjoying going on bike rides and for walks. I finally took my camera with us to get some pictures of the girls on their bikes.


Acey all ready for the ride
Ava all ready to go

Our little bike riders


Ava has been doing better about pedaling. She still likes to pedal backwards and wonders why her bike won't go forward. I'm sure by the end of the summer we will be without or close to no training wheels.


Acey is still trying to figure out the whole pedaling thing. She loves going for the ride!!!

Doolittle's Bit Top Circus

Ava's Early Learning class put on a production of Doolittle's Big Top Circus this year. Mrs. Cousins' took over doing the Circus after Margaret Doolittle passed away about a year and a half ago. Mrs. Doolittle had been doing the circus for years before that!!!!

All the kids did an excellent job. I was very proud of Ava. She has really come out of her shell this past year. At the beginning of the year I would of never thought that she would get up on stage and talk LOUD in front of people. She is growing up so fast!!!!

Ava and ear piercing......

Ava came to me Wednesday morning and asked if she could get her ears pierced. I have wanted to do it for a long time, but Kyle always puts a kabosh on it. I told her that I would have to talk to her dad about it and she tells me that she already has and he said it was okay. Still I need to talk to him. She wants to go tomorrow after we see friends of ours. So, after I talk with Kyle and he is okay with it, we wait and see if she brings it up......well, she does. That day after she got off the bus she was ready to go then. So, when I got home from work that night we headed to the mall. When we walked into Icing the lady informed us that she was the only one working, so she would have to do pierce her ears one at a time. So, we decided to walked over to Claire's....same situation. So, I asked Ava what she wanted to do.....She wanted to go back to Icing and get her ears pierced!!!!


Ava getting her ear lobes cleaned


I think she is looking a little nervous.....maybe it was just me nervous for her.


getting the dots.....


The lady would not let me take pictures while she was actually doing the piercing because she didn't want my flash (which I wasn't using) or the sound of my camera taking a picture (which I had turned off) to startled Ava and make her jump.........


Checking out her new ear rings!!!!!!!!!!


One happy girl!!!


She was a trooper. She got a little red in the face after the first shot, but no tears!!!!

Disney on Ice

My sisters asked if they could take the girls to see Disney On Ice. Sure they would love it. Well, we didn't say anything to the girls about it. When my sisters picked them up, they had no idea. My sisters were able to keep it from my girls until they were about 10 minutes away from the Palace. My girls were so excited!!!



Ava, Acelynn and Aunt Alicia

Incredibles












Alice in Wonderland



So, I sent my camera with them so they could get some pictures, but I had forgotten to put the memory card back in it. So, they were able to go get some shots before my internal memory was full. The girls had a great time!! And to top it off, they had a slumber party at Aunt Alicia's!!!

Princess Acelynn's Party

Awhile back I asked Acelynn what kind of birthday party she wanted and at first she told me Bubble Guppies. Of course she picks one of the shows that Nickelodeon hasn't released for party decor. But then I asked again and she told me that she wanted a Princess party. Okay, that will be A LOT easier to do. We had a Disney Princess party for Ava's 3rd birthday, so I didn't want to do the same thing. So, I found some ideas and decided we are going to have a pink & orange Princess party!!!
