A few pics from today

We had a lovely day today! (Despite Avery's double ear infection, our lawn mower giving us problems and Alexis not taking a nap.)

Yesterday, Alexis had Emily Bohn's 4th Birthday party at the park!

 My Dad's tree is growing nicely.

 Alexis made all the matches; color and animal.

 After dinner she had a yummy popsicle!

Earlier in the day she had a smoothie with Mom-Mom.

 Alexis is helping Avery to walk by opening her arms!

 Daddy's put up Avery's new swing, and the girls LOVE it!

 High five Daddy!

 The girls playing in their kitchen after dinner.

We hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today we had a very nice Mother's Day brunch at Lookaway.
Here are some of our family pics!

Happy Mother's Day!

My very special

Mother's Day Celebration with Alexis in her classroom.

Today I was invited to Alexis's classroom for a Mother's Day Celebration.

Miss Angie read us story. We had cookies and tea and I got my very special Mother's Day present from Alexis!This was my gift bag. (The red rose, made from a stalk of celery.)

 The front of my card...

The inside of my card!

 This is one side of my present...Alexis's hand print!

 The other side; her picture and a note from her!

 The kids played a matching game; matching the children with their mommies!

And here is my gift from Avery!

We then came home and played in the Kitchen for a while.

 Alexis built a tall tower!

 Then the girls got baths and had fun with the bath toys!

I couldn't wait to share my gift from Alexis! I LOVE it!
I'm a very proud Mommy and I love my girls to pieces!
This will be my first Mother's Day with Avery too! I'm excited for our annual family pic from Lookaway.

XOXO

Weekend with Grammy and Grandpop

Here are just a few pics from our weekend!

Uncle Dave, these are for you!

This weekends pics!

Alexis is Mommy's big helper!

 Saturday we drove out to Lancaster and at (a store called) Goods, they had kid-size shopping carts. Alexis really enjoyed that.

 Sunday was a beautiful day and we spent most of it outside. Alexis shared her swing with Avery, and even pushed her. (I have a cute video I'll be sending out of this.)

 Avery played on the front porch, while I mowed the grass...

 And Alexis helped me weed my flower beds.

 Avery was a ball of energy at lunch today. She was making faces and crazy noises. (I have a fun video of her doing this too!)

We hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend too!

 PJ, Pancake and Pal day at school. Uncle John was her "Pal" for the day! Thank you Uncle John for coming to my school!

 When the boys are away, the girls must play! Lunch with four of my favorite gals! Thanks mom and Aunt Carol for coming over for lunch! Love to you both!

 Finishing off the weekend with some frozen yogert with her bestie, Ellie! See you at school tomorrrow Ellie! This was a special treat for being such a good girl for mommy while daddy was away and for both peeing and pooping on the potty today!
