Flash back Friday

We went for our first bike ride of the season this past weekend.  I couldn't help but thinking back to when it was Ava and Molly in the trailer.  Wow!  Time flies!  If only Rachel would keep her eyes open!!

Zoo

Ava was off school on Monday and the weather was beautiful so we made a trip to the school.  The girls were wonderful and we had a great time!  I can honestly say that life is getting easier with an almost 2 year old, a 4 year old and a six year old.  We really had fun and enjoyed all the animals.  It was fun to watch Rachel's reaction to the animals.  Her favorites were the monkeys.  I tried all day long to get some cute pictures of her but she seems to think that she needs to close her eyes whenever her picture is being taken!  So frustrating!!

Easter 2011

We had a very Blessed Easter. On Saturday, we went to our friends for a neighborhood Easter Party and Egg hunt!  So much fun!  Rachel even got a few eggs!

On Sunday, the weather could have cooperated a little more but at least it didn't rain like it was predicted.  We didn't see the sun all day.  As usual it didn't seem to bother the girls one bit!  Rachel took her sweater off the second we arrived at Church and didn't seem cold we I had to take her outside during mass.  The girls enjoyed running around with their bubbles from the Easter bunny in our backyard.  We enjoyed a wonderful meal with my family!  Happy belated Easter Everyone!!

Eggs

Last night we colored our Easter eggs.  I get more and more fun every year.  The girls really got into it and I had to keep hard boiling more eggs.  Ava and Molly couldn't get enough.  Rachel just played with one egg in the dye the entire time.  She kept lifting it out with the spoon and clapping for herself.  We made some beautiful eggs.  The Easter Bunny will be proud!

Children's Museum

Last week I volunteered to be a chaperone for Ava's class.  The student's got to take the bus downtown to the children's museum.  What a great time!  We got build with real tools, play with bubbles and build a house!  It was a long day for the half day Kinders since the usually get out of school at 11!  Ava's favorite part was having lunch with all her friends.  She can't wait until next year when she gets to do it everyday!

Knights and Princesses

Ava and Mike went to a daddy/daughter dance on Friday night.  I hope she felt like a princess becuase she looked like one!  Wearing her favorite dress, shoes and even makeup made her feel very special.  Mike LOVED being her Knight. She had so much fun dancing!  What a special night!!

Spring Break 2011

Last week we went on a long over due trip to Texas. My parents have had a house there for over two years and this is the first time the girls and I have seen it!  The weather didn't cooperate very well.  It was cold, and cloudy.  It was warmer in CO!  It didn't seem to bother the girls at all. We did have two days of GREAT weather.   We played in the water, fished, went for boat rides and caught lizards and turtles.

The highlight for Mike and I was a night in Dallas.  We got a room in downtown Dallas and viewed the sights!  It was great to get away!
