Weekend of Fun

It was a fun weekend had by all 4 of us! TJ and I got to hang out and do fun things for his birthday. We went to Valley Fair and then Houlihan's for dinner and a movie! It was a GREAT day! Then the girls spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Kvilhaug (Shelbie, Chris, Travis and Sam of course)! They had their fun swimming, visiting people and playing! Here a few pictures of their FUN weekend!

Getting SOOOOOOOO Old

I purchased a new pair of tennys for Madison yesterday because her feet are growing and she has NO shoes that fit anymore. I tell you this girl LOVES shoes...if she doesn't have them on she will find some (hers or mine) and put them on! So thanks to all my family for causing my little girl becoming a shoe-a-holic...hahaha love it! A true girl!

Well I put her new shoes on this morning with a newer shirt...she was so proud. She goes around showing us her shoes and watches her feet walk. Its TOO cute!

She LOOKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OLD and my little girl is becoming so grown up. She looks like she was starting school for the first day!

Maddi and Mommy

Maddi is so insistent that we take pictures together but then wont smile...what a goofy girl!

Avery's new seat

So Avery is liking the bumbo seat more and more! Yesterday she sat in it for quite some time before trying to get out of it (she is a strong cookie)! Here are a few pictures of her in her seat!

So Sweet

Just want to squeeze those cheeks!!!

Smiley Avery!

Avery is getting so smiley lately...when she is not fussing or crying :)
She really likes to be lifted up and talked to. BUT you know what happens when you lift an infant above your head...the pictures will speak for themselves!!!!

Sisterly Love

Madison is now loving to say cheese for pictures and will get mad until we take the picture.

She also is always wanting to have Avery sit by her. She says, "Ary sit here" and points to the her lap. So I put Avery next to Maddi like she asked and this is what comes about (poor Avery)...

Loving each other...


The smiles are fading...


The loving is too much for Madison...


She is now by herself cute as can be and loving every minute of it...poor Avery :)


I just love my girls...they are too stinking cute!

Maddi being Maddi!

Morning Avery

Here is Avery after she just woke up. She is in her "sleeping bag"!! That sleep sack is the best thing EVER!!!

I hate suckers...

I am not a huge fan of suckers for Madison, which is why I rarely EVER let her have one. One being she gets NASTY and STICKY. Second being she touches EVERYTHING.

BUT when you see that silly smile and how excited she gets to have one...its hard to resist.

She found this sucker in a drawer downstairs and by the time I could catch her she had it already unwrapped...smarty pants...so I let her go at it!

Daddy and Girls

Daddy loving every moment with his girls on a great Monday morning!
As you can tell...Madison JUST woke up :)

Big Day For Avery...(and me)

It was Avery's first day at daycare to. I was VERY sad and upset that she was going to daycare so soon...but it is what it is.
She is just so young and still not figured out her own body yet. I took some pictures this morning and the morning started out NOT good. She was SCREAMING bloody murder and I left very unsettled. I called at 10:45 and she was much better and things were going good. I didn't want to be "that mom" who calls/emails/texts all day, but deep down I AM ONE OF THOSE MOMS...I just pretend I am not :)
Heather emailed me back and reassured me that Avery was doing great and she was a great addition and fun to have. That really made things easier knowing she was behaving herself and Madison was being a great big sister. Also hearing that the other kids loved having a new baby at daycare was fun to hear.

So all in all it was a sad and good day.

Fishing on a Monday Morning

At 6:30am...what does Madison want to do??? Go Fishin'...her daddy is proud!!!

New and Old Toy

I brought out the Boppy seat for Avery to test and of course Madison had to make sure she sits in it and says cheese. She wants her picture taken too. She is too funny...she would get out of the seat and say, "Avery, sit? Avery, sit?" So, I sit her down in the seat and Madison then attempts to try to sit on her...hilarious!!! But anyways Avery likes the seat for maybe about 1-2 min and then done...hopefully she will adjust to it...my arm is getting tired of holding her all the time :)

Silly Faces

Here are a couple silly faces that the girls make when trying to get them to smile.

Just an fyi...Avery does NOT have a uni-brow...its really dry skin but we are getting that under control with special lotion!!!
