Ear Tubes for Lyla

Lyla had tubes put in her ears last week and they also did an echocardiagram to check her heart since her surgery while she was already put out. Hopefully the tubes will cut down on the number of infections! She was so happy even though she hadn't been able to eat anything from the night before.

The nurse gave her a Popsicle after she woke up, she loved it! She's ready for the Summer Popsicle treats!

Letter "P" Party

Katherine and the kids invited us over for a "P" Party for their letter P week. We all wore Pink and Purple (Crew was thrilled that he could wear one of Ava's pink shirts and Griffin too surprisingly) The games were Pop the Purple Balloon, Pass the Potato, the Pink Poodle on the Parachute and a Pineapple Pinata! They loved all the letter P treats and the Pizza. Thanks for having us over to join in the "P" fun! We had a great time!

Pink Polka-Dot Girls

Over at my mom's the other night Lucy, Lyla and Nora were all wearing white onesies, pink polka-dot leggings of some sort and pink headbands (not planned) so of course we had to snap a photo! They are going to be great cousin buddies growing up together!

Color Me Mine

We met up with Katherine and the kids last week to paint pottery. It was a bit chaotic getting everyone settled with the paint colors they wanted and choosing the item to paint but after that they all got to work painting. They did a great job and asked me every day at least a few times until Friday when we could go pick up their work of art! They were so excited to see the end result!

Their finished products (Ava wanted to paint one for Lyla too so they all added a little paint on a cup for her)

Grandpa Larry

Grandpa Larry has been in the hospital nearly two months now recovering from complications after a surgery. We miss you and hope you get well to come home soon! Katherine made these cute pictures with the kids that are hanging on his hospital room wall to remind him of who's waiting for him at home! We love you!

Fieldtrip to the Aquarium

I took the kids on a fieldtrip with Ava's preschool class to the aquarium. We had a good time despite the fact that there were so many people there, it must have been fieldtrip day for everyone. After we went to lunch and played at Chick-Fil-A and had a fun time!

Ava, Crew, Loren and Kali

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had a green pancake breakfast which the kids wouldn't eat because they all said it tasted weird. Funny how color makes some foods non-appetizing. Then a little leprechaun left a trail of shamrocks leading to a pot of gold with some goodies in it!
