Easter Dresses

These posts are a little out of order but I got them up. Here are the girls in their Easter dresses and their new shoes. Lucky for them their grandma is a sucker for buying them new shoes. They are so cute in their matching dresses!! 

Preschool Graduation

I can't believe my little Avery is going to go to kindergarten this coming fall. She had her preschool graduation today and it was so cute. Here is a video of her getting her diploma and singing.

Here is her diploma and her award. I can't believe she was the best listener. That doesn't speak too highly of her class!! She must listen better at school than at home.

A visit from Grandma and Papa!

My parents came to visit during my mom's spring break. It was great to have them come. 

The girls were so spoiled rotten by the time my parents left, I nearly sent them home with them.

Avery claimed Papa as her personal slave. He was her buddy the whole trip. 

Bristol playing with Grandma. And yes my mom has blue and purple hair! The girls call it her mermaid hair.

I think my mom's back hurt and she asked Libby to walk on it, but Bristol decided Libby's weight wasn't enough. 

Bristol put the hat on Papa. It fits so well, don't you think?

Papa pushing Avery in a box. Poor Papa, is probably still worn out from the girls constant jumping on him or making him carry them or push them in box, ect. 

The girls got to sleep in the same bed one night. They were so excited, I didn't think they would sleep at all. Surprisingly they didn't do too bad! They ended up sleeping upside down in the bed!

Their trip ended on a sad note though. The morning they flew home, we got the news that my Dad's father had past away. He was 93 years old. I am just so grateful that my kids got to get to know their Great Papa (as they called him). He was a wonderful man and will be missed!

I don't think I have posted this yet but we are expecting our 4th little girl!! Avery and I are excited, Jake and Libby really wanted a boy, but what can you do. She is scheduled to arrive July 1st. Still working on a name.

Bristol is 2!

Bristol's birthday was Monday but we celebrated it on Sunday, because I wanted to be sure daddy would be home.(He has a really busy month) The girls loved blowing the noise makers while Bristol opened her presents.

Checking out the goods.

She liked her cake, especially the frosting.

She did not like her candle. We helped her practice blowing out her candle before we put it on the cake, but it just ended up making her really scared of it. Thus the glare at the candle on the cake. 

Sneaking a taste of the frosting while we sang to her. 

I can't believe my baby is 2. That went by so fast. She has so much personality. There are so many wonderful things about this little girl but I will suffice it to say she gets away with a lot of things because she is so stinking cute. We love you Bristol!

Christmas 2012

I know its March but I wanted to catch up a little. So here are the girls in their Christmas dresses.

What cheese balls

Right before Christmas Jake's parents got to come out and visit. It was great and the girls loved playing with them. I didn't get very many pictures with the camera of them. Most of them are on my phone, but there are the girls attacking granddad Jones.

Here is Christmas morning. Daddy helping Bristol open her presents.

Once Bristol figured out how the present thing worked she started to open everyones presents. Needless to say the girls opened their presents fast so Bristol didn't help them.

Santa brought the girls a jump house, which they love. I do too. It make take up my whole living room but when the weather is yucky they can still get all their energy out.

Even Bristol likes it.

Halloween 2012

I know it is December, but I am trying to catch up a little bit. The girls craving pumpkins.

Libby isn't happy Bristol is helping clean out her pumpkin.

Avery's pumpkin is all clean. Don't know what happened to her hair.

Libby doesn't mind getting her hands dirty one bit. 

Their scary faces with their finished pumpkins.

Daddy caring all three girls upstairs on his back after we set the pumpkins outside.

Virginia Beach

In October Jake had an easier rotation and so we decided to take a family vacation. One of the doctors Jake works with has a beach house in the Virginia Beach area and graciously let us use it. 

Bristol loved the beach. She fell in the ocean when we first got there and was afraid of it ever since. Which was fine with me.

The girls enjoying cinnamon rolls and watching the waves.

Now remember we went in October, so the water was not that warm but the girls dove right in anyways. 

Jake's sister and her family joined us. All the girls had the best time together. 

Playing in the sand after they got too cold in the water.

All the girls playing together. 

On the board walk. Bristol wasn't cooperating. 

Avery, Liberty, Norah, Vivian, and Bristol.

Jake brought his wetsuit and borrowed a surf board from one of his co-residents and went surfing almost everyday we were there. He didn't have any really great waves but he had fun anyways.

The last day we were there the weather was perfect and we all got in the water. We had a great trip and it was so wonderful to see Jessi and David and their girls. Hope we get to this again next year. 

First Grade

Libby's first day of First Grade. She was so excited! She gets to ride the bus both ways now. (yea for me too)

Getting on the bus in the morning.

School pictures day!

visit to Idaho

We are in Idaho visiting my family. I wanted to put up some of the pictures my mom has been taking because I forgot my camera. The girls have loved riding on the 4-wheeler with papa. 

The girls have loved all of Grandma's dress up clothes.

Striking a pose.

Of course they have been eating lots of ice cream here. Bristol wore more of hers than she actually ate. 

They like getting to play with the dog.

Bristol even got in on the dress up.

These girls love their papa. We are have a great visit here with everyone. We miss our daddy thought!
