Sister time.........

The girls have been playing really well together lately. Acelynn loves going in and laying with Ava at bedtime. Usually Ava comes out and tells us numerous times that Acelynn is playing and she can't sleep, but one night we didn't see either one of them. Mostly due to this....

Coloring Eggs!!!!

Kyle and I helped the girls color eggs this year. They had a blast doing it.

Easter Bunny

On Saturday we went to the Grand Opening of Bluegrass Landscape and Supply. Friends of ours own that and they opened up their new showroom and had bounce houses set up. The girls had a blast and we couldn't get them out of there to go see the Easter Bunny. We finally made it to Kean's to see the Easter Bunny.

It took a lot of coaxing to get Ava to go and stand by the Easter Bunny ( an egg filled with chocolate and silly bands).

Acelynn wanted NOTHING to do with the Easter Bunny!!

Ava coloring with the Easter Bunny, but still keeping on eye on her!

Playtime at the Park

The girls had been begging us to take them to the park, so we packed them and Champ up and walked down to Hayes Park. It was a little chilly out that night, but we haven't been having any warm or dry weather, so we took advantage while we could.

Acelynn showing us her new trick.....walking up the slide!

The girls and Champ had a blast. We were the only ones there so they loved having the playground to themselves!!!

Swimming Class

Every winter we put the girls in swim classes just so they can stay familiar with the water. So, when it comes time to go swimming at Grammie's they are READY!!!! This was the first time the girls were not in the same class. Acelynn was still in Water Babies and Ava moved up to Fin Buddies. Next winter Ava will be in the water all by herself (aka no parent in the water).

more kicks!!

Ava jumping into the pool to start class!

One new thing Ava got to do in her class was to jump off the diving board!! At first she didn't want to, but after seeing all the other kids do it, she wanted to try it!!

Waiting for her turn!

Walking out with her noodle!

Ava got a little scared so I had to walk out the rest of the way with her!

Ava jumping/me dropping her in!

She like it at first and want to jump again, but when we got to the end to jump she changed her mind. That is something we can work on this summer at Grammie's house!!!

Acelynn's Big girl bed!!!

Here are the pictures of Acelynn in her Big Girl bed!!!

Right after daddy put it together and made it!!!

Sleeping in it....

She has been doing awesome sleeping in her new bed. We are now to the point of taking naps and going to bed without too many issues. And getting out of bed hasn't been that big of a deal. Since we bought the bed we had to do some rearranging. The big dresser went into Ava's room because there wasn't enough room for that and the bed, so we bought 2 drawers to go under the bed for the storage we lost from the dresser. It has worked out great so far!!!!

Acelynn's Birthday Party

On Saturday March 12th, we had family and friends over for Acelynn's 2nd birthday. She wanted an Elmo theme.

Her Elmo cupcake cake and her scrapbook

I decided to make a back drop for her for when she opened presents. It turned out good since Elmo was my first try with cutting vinyl on my Cricut. It was pretty easy with the help of my neighbor Sam!


Opening presents!!!

A guitar from Papa Steve!!

A Little People horse trailer from the Womble's. Oh how we love Little People!!!

Posing with her Elmo cake. Not what I had pictured in my mind, but you got the point. I will not be decorating anymore cakes anytime soon!!!

Blowing out her candle!!!

Cupcake eating time!!!!

YUM!!!!!!!

Ava, Cameron & Acelynn eating their cupcakes!!!

We had a great time with our family and friends. Acelynn got a lot of new toys, clothes and books. Mommy & Daddy bought her a BIG girl bed, but it was not shipped in time for her party! Pictures to follow soon!
