April Pt. 2

After the break, we're back on track with operation catch up!

I love Avery's imagination.  I love her sense of style, too.  She has "monkey jammies" that came with shorts and pants.  They have to be worn together.

Sweet boy.

Ezra enjoying pears.

A little video of Ezra and his pears:

Avery drew a picture of Daddy on her magnadoodle and asked me to send him a picture of her picture.

Avery's closest little girl friend is Leighton (she's only 3 months older than Avery) and we try to do regular play dates with her.  Chele, why don't we get more pictures when they're together??  Oh yeah, maybe because we're busy wrangling two little boys, too... :)

Avery likes to find "special places" to read her Bible.  This one cracked me up. :)

We spend as much time outside as we can - the kiddos love it.

Avery will tell you that she climbs this tree all by herself... right after she asks you to help her up there. :)

My handsome mister man.

Ezra loves when Avery joins him in his crib after his naps.

Avery and Malachi LOVE butterflies.  One day at the park, this butterfly let them touch him/her(??) and they were elated.

On April 14th, the kids and I did the Care Walk for Autism.  This was my second year to do it - it's pretty inspiring.  Avery's favorite parts were the police cars and policemen along the walk, and Clifford the big red dog at the end. :)

I tried to get a picture of the three of us...

I found Avery eating like this one day.  I asked her what she was doing and she replied, "Well Mom, Ezra always gets to use the boppy to eat.  I think he should share.  It's my turn to use the boppy to eat!" Ha.

We had some CRAZY storms come through the night of April 14th.  I cleared out our storage area under our stairs to make a shelter.  Thankfully we didn't have to stay down there long.  I even got Ezra out of his bed, brought him to the basement for a while, and put him back in his bed an hour later.  He transferred well both times!

Avery wanted to stay in the shelter all night.  We told her she could play in there the next day - she held us to it. :)

I love how Avery can crack Ezra up.  She put a washcloth on his head during bath time one evening and he lost it. :) So cute!

A new way to do a puzzle...

It's fun getting to go to the park with Grandma Bubba AND Gpa (now that he's retired)!
