Running and Swimming

My friend Lacey heard about a 5K that was actually on a Saturday! (They are always on Sundays around here.) So after a two week "training" period we ran yesterday and I about DIED! Yes I know it's only 3 miles, but I am so out of shape, and running on a treadmill is nothing like running hills the entire time! (at least it felt like it.) Of course Rob's younger brother decided to run it the day before and blew past us, finishing way ahead! Oh what it would be like to be 22 again! :) We had a great time and can't wait for our next 5K Klinglers!Later that day we enjoyed incredibly beautiful weather so we filled up the pool. (We spoiled them and brought out hot water from the tap because it wasn't that warm outside!)
Brooklyn's first pool experience, and she loved every minute of it.


This picture cracks me up. Ava would slide and make huge splashes!

Happy Birthday to my Sweet Ava!

Ava turned 3 on Sunday. We ended up having cake at the Easter egg hunt a day early! (She wasn't comlaining!) I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is such a sweet girl and brings so much JOY into our home. We love you so much Ava!

This is her face while everyone was singing to her! (By the way, this outfit was her choosing...sort of. She wanted to wear her swimsuit and skirt so I made her wear tights and her version of a jacket!)

Making a wish!

My sad sad attempt at a princess castle cake!

My adorable 3 year old!

Hunting for eggs

We had such a fun Easter! (Saturday for us!) Our friends hosted a GREAT BBQ and easter egg hunt.Checking out her candy!

Dyeing Easter eggs

This year we dyed Easter eggs and had a great time. I bought a glitter kit this year...I think next year we will stick to the simple colored ones!

I love the look of concentration on Ava's face!
Squishy getting some loves from Daddy
Brooklyn wasn't much of a help......

and eventually she just pooped out on us!

What a good sport

I was going to make a headband with this nylon, but daddy had other ideas....

Getting Crafty

Check out my tutu I made for Av's. Brooklyn get's a purple one.....

Our week

Instead of telling you how our week has gone...let me just show some pictures that pretty much describe it....

That's right. We had a week of Pink eye, colds and Brooklyn teething. (But check out those cute teeth! Just when I thought she couldn't get any cuter....) The good news is...WE SURVIVED!

Don't you just love my Brooky's hair. It's crazy and out of control! She thinks she is a big girl and likes to steal water from Ava's sippy!
My sweet sweet Ava...lucky I haven't shipped her off to Grandma's house....
