Family Photographer
I wanted to share some photographs from a budding little photographer in our family, my niece Haven. On Easter, Haven somehow ended up with a camera and took a ton of pictures. Now, there were some that were of random items in the house, but I really liked most of them and and she did a great job taking pictures of my kids - not an easy task!! I think she has a future ahead of her.

If I had to choose a picture to describe my life right now, it would be this one!!
This is my personal favorite!!
Such a cute picture of Tyler and Sam!!
Great job Haven!!
First Tooth
Sam has his first tooth!!!! I didn't even know until I felt the other day and it had already come through. The second one is well on it's way. As you can see from the picture, as soon as he gets something in his hand it goes directly to his mouth. And the poor little thing - Ava has claimed EVERY toy in the play room and all day she says, "No Sam, Ava's" - we need some serious lessons on sharing.
On a side note, Ava rarely wants her picture taken anymore, but she was in a pretty good mood this morning so I got a smile out of her!! Thought I would share!!
Easter.....Take 2
We had a very fun and busy Easter . I have decided though that I need to let go of my need for perfection. I just had this idea of the kids behaving perfectly and getting the PERFECT picture in their Easter outfits - HA!! I didn't even manage to get a family picture and really not a good one of the kids - OH well! I did take them to a professional photographer Friday, so hopefully he took at least one good one. It rained all day here so all of the Easter festivities took place indoors. Ava was amazed the Easter bunny came to visit and had a blast hunting eggs. Sam had a blast eating the grass out of the Easter basket.
Ava on Easter morning - the Easter bunny brought Sleeping Beauty DVD and some princess toys.
Sam's first Easter morning - the Easter bunny brought him bath toys, but his favorite was the grass.
Ava is having her Easter Egg hunt in the living room. She has enough candy to last until next Easter!!
The best picture I could get of Sam in his little Easter outfit. Yes, it is a pink shirt - real men wear pink!!!
I had to bribe Ava to sit and take her picture. We are in the process of decorating their bathroom and she loves the new stools. We had to take our pictures on the bathroom stools and this was as good as I could get.
Ava and Haven
The kids are ready for the Easter egg hunt at Mimi and Papa's!
The aftermath of the hunt- that is the fun part right? Andrea (Mimi) had this great idea. She put numbers on the eggs and then went to the Dollar Store and got a ton of prizes and put corresponding numbers on them. Then they called out the numbers and she gave them the matching prize - I thought that was fun!
Andrea makes this cute bunny cake every year.

Sam and Erica - check it out - he is not screaming!!! (no smile either though!)
Happy Easter everyone!!!
Zoo Day
We took our first trip to the zoo yesterday. You could not have asked for better weather and we had a great day!! I was curious to see how Ava would like all the animals, and she did great. There were lots of empty exhibits, but she got to see elephants and giraffes and a fox (Swiper no swiping) - she said!! The little wild woman's favorite exhibit was the snakes and the lizards.
She wanted Papa to carry her all day!!
She loved riding on the little train.
We are on the train and she would NOT look at me - she was having too much fun. Hopefully you can see the little grin on her face.
Here is how Sam spent most of his time on his first trip to the zoo!
WOW - snakes and lizards!!!
Poor little Sam wants his mommy. I have A LOT of pictures like this.
Easter Eggs Fit for a Princess
We dyed Easter eggs yesterday afternoon. I gave Ava the choice of puppies, Nemo or princess (that was all the grocery store had available) and she chose the princess. Now I don't know what her fascination is since she has never watched a Disney princess movie, but she loves them. She knows them all by name even!! 
I think Sam may have had more fun than Ava with his graham cracker!!
Ava was amazed that she was getting to color the eggs. She really thought it was fun.
I tried to get her to show me the egg and smile, but she was too busy naming all the princesses. We definitely had a good time with the eggs and she couldn't wait to show Daddy!!
