Baby Animal Days

My girls loved going to Baby Animal Days! Ava's favorite were the baby bears. They were so cute! Lyla seemed to just like everything! She wasn't scared to touch anything she could get her hands on. The poor animals were probably scared of my kids. Ava was holding one of the baby ducks and got a little scared and decided to throw it a few feet. :) We had a fun day! We were glad we got to spend it with Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Brown...Thanks for taking us.

Ava's Dance Pics

Ava loved taking dance this year. She is super sad it is over. Her favorite movie to watch in the car while were driving is her dance recital. She is learning all the other groups dances, its so cute. Ava can't wait to start back up again.

Lylas 1st Birthday

There was no question that Lyla knew it was her special day. She had a little attitude about her thinking she was incharge! For her party we did the balloon thing. When you are a 1 year old whats more fun than a room full of balloons as big as you to play with. If Ava had her way she would of had a room full of hands everywhere. She told us that we should have a hand party because Lyla just loves to wave to everyone! That is why there are hands on Lylas cake, we had to do something with hands! Ava was pretty proud she got to design Lylas cake. The cake was a little scary at first with Lyla until she realized it was something really yummy for her to eat. We had a fun day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYLA WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Ava & Lyla

I finally got around to posting these cute pictures my friend Jada took of the girls! She did such a great job! My girls are growing up way too fast!

MOAB

We went camping to Moab for Easter weekend with the Chadwicks, Johnsons, and Bentleys. It was so fun being out on the rangers all day and ejoying eachothers company. We got to enjoy some nice sunny weather (finally). The Easter bunny found his way out to Moab. He spoiled all the kids with a big Easter egg hunt and lots of other goodies. It was nice to get out of the house for a weekend, its been way to long since we left for a vacation! Thanks Zach for getting everything ready and making such a fun trip for us all to enjoy!

Ava's Dance Review

This was Ava's very first dance review!! She did such a good job! We were so proud of her. It was so cute watching her up on stage. She was not shy at all!!! Ava keeps asking me when she gets to perform again! I love how much energy she has. Good Job AVA!! We love you so much!

Merry Christmas

Happy 3rd Birthday Ava

For Ava's birthday this year we decided to have a circus party! Zach went all out as usual and got the place all decked out! We had cotton candy, popcorn, mini corn dogs, foot long hot dogs, fries, funnel cake fries, pork sandwiches, and of course cake and purple ice cream. Ava's obsessed with PURPLE!! The kids had a blast. We had a face painter come who did the cutest stuff. Zach set up some little games for the kids to play. The favorite seemed to be the parachute game with all the balls! Ava definately got spoiled by everyone!!! Thanks to everyone for coming to Ava's party!! I can't believe she is 3. They grow up way too fast!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA WE LOVE YOU!!!

Ava Getting Ears Pierced

Ava decided for her Birthday she wanted to get her ears pierced. I told her if she wanted them she would have to pay the lady with all of her binkis! I was shocked she actually agreed to do it. So on our way to get them I told her to gather up all of her binkis and put them in a bag. After she got it all ready we headed to the mall. It was so cute seeing her so excited to go get them pierced. I thought when we got there she would freak out and not want to give the binkis away but she handed her the bag and sat right down. She was a pretty good sport through the whole thing she only cried for a minute right after. I don't think she thought it would hurt! :) As far as the binkis went it was a little tough that day getting her to go down for her nap! She tried stealing Lylas once and after that she hasn't mentioned them again! Thank goodness for earrings, I thought I would never get rid of those binkis!! Good Job Ava! She looks so cute and grown up with her earrings!!

Santa Claus

The last two years we have gone to the country club to see santa. Ava has been hysterical both times. I wasn't sure what to expect this year. When we got there she was a little hesitant at first and made me sit on his lap with her. After that she was fine and wanted to sit all by herself. I was very happy not to hear the screaming this year! I think Lyla is still a little young to really know so we made it through with no tears!!!

Potty Trained

We finally managed to get Ava potty trained before she turned 3!!! It's about time! :)

We have a CRAWLER!!

Lyla has figured out how to crawl now!!

Lyla loves her big sister and wants to do whatever shes doing!

They are so cute together! I love having girls so close to eachother!!

Princess's On Ice

My dad got us tickets to princess's on Ice. We made it a fun girls night out. We went down with my mom and sister and her little girl. We went and had dinner at gateway before the show started. Ava and Halle looked so cute in the dress up clothes my mom brought for them to wear. They had such a fun time. The seats were great we were on the 3rd row. It made a big difference being so close. Ava actually sat really well and was amused throughout the whole show. Thanks Grandma for the fun girls night out and for always spoiling us!!!

Happy Halloween

Ava the fairy with Cute friend Bryson the fireman

Lyla the Lion

Maybe next year I wont be a party pooper and Ill dress up with the rest of the family. Zach is looking super hot as a cowboy! That shirt is the ugliest thing ever!!!

Lyla was worn out! The lion costume worked out great! She's not the best at keeping the binki in all by herself! We had a great Halloween! Ava was fun this year. She was all about getting lots and lots of candy! If she had it her way that would be the only thing she eats!!

Pumpkin Walk

We headed out to the pumpkin walk with my family. It was super cute this year as usual. Ava had a fun time running around everywhere looking at all the cute pumpkins. Lyla seemed to enjoy it as well.

Pudding Painting

So Ava got this fun pudding idea from watching Jon & Kate Plus 8. It was so funny because she insisted she did everything that the kids were doing. She thought it was super fun being all messy!!! When she was all finished painting herself she had to have Zach spray her off with the cold hose just like they did on TV. It was too cute!!

First Day of Dance

Ava started dance class in September. It is one of her favorite things to do. She loves going to "teacher Ruth" She asks me every day if she has dance. It has been way fun watching her progress and its also a nice little break for mom!

Lyla LOVES to eat

Ava is such a good helper!

Lyla at 5 months. I have been a big blog slacker!!!

Lyla loves her baby food almost as much as Ava loves feeding her. It has been very fun having a baby who will actually eat her food. Ava never would eat anything when she was little so it has been a lot more convient for me having a good eater.
