Fun week!

We have had a busy week; our friends from Kansas, Matt & Kristin, came to visit. They stayed with us for the past week. We were all so sad to see them go back yesterday! We had so much fun! I just wish I would have took more pictures!

Piper, in dress attire, watching some home movies. She loves to watch herself on the computer!

Last Saturday, making Valentine's Day cookies for Piper's teachers

Making a very special Valentine cookie for Matt

I just had to test it out!

Last Sunday, we went snowmobiling at the Yaggies farm. Here is Piper holding Paxton and Parker holding Ava.

Jake's Birthday

February 8th was Jake's 7th Birthday; we went up to Fargo to celebrate with him! Here are some pics from that and other misc. things the other week.

Sweet little missy!

Piper can be found most days looking like this-- in her dress clothes and "fancy shoes."

Swiper, No Swiping!

Piper is obsessed with Dora! One of the famous lines is, Swiper, No Swiping!

3 months

Our little Ava is 3 months old already (Friday, 2/4 marked the official day)! So hard to believe, time sure flies when you are having fun! She is such a good baby and brings so much joy to our lives! She loves to smile at her mommy and big sister! (and on occasion her dad:) She has sure grown, weighs 13 pounds! She is adjusting to daycare and seems to do well there. She is still getting up a couple times a night, but things are looking up as last night she just got up once!

Piper was trying to get into Ava's swim suit... she didn't believe me that it wouldn't fit!

Gymnastics Girl!

We've had a busy week, besides going back to work, we started swim lessons and have continued with gymnastics. So glad the weekend is here to relax some! Here are some pics from gymnastics!

Going through the tunnel

Playing in the pit

"The Swing" as Piper calls it

Can you say Olympics 2030?

Jumping on the froggy!

Handstand!

And the take off!

Ava last night after tubby!

Ava and daddy

Ava is 3 months old today!! Where has the time gone??

Back to work!

I now have one week under my belt, it is ok being back at work, but was so hard to leave Ava at daycare. I thought it was going to be easier, being that she is the second one, but I think it was just as hard if not harder. Ava is doing good at daycare, she gets lots of snuggle time with the teachers there. They all just love her hair! We are off today, much needed after a long week of work! The girls are both napping; which is a weird thing-silence! :)

On our way out the door!

Fun-Filled Weekend!

We had a fun-filled weekend last weekend! Friday we went to Barnsville to watch the Cowboys play-- the won! Saturday morning Piper and I went to story time at the library. She loved it! I think she has a new favorite place! We all went bowling that afternoon and then met Bev & Gregg for supper that night. Sunday was more mellow-- just hung out at home!

Piper checking out the lanes!

Piper was lagging behind a bit

Daddy helping Piper. The ball was a bit too heavy, so we would just roll it with her... very slowly!

1, 2, 3!!

Watching the ball roll, ever so slowly!

Piper and me

This is were I found Piper hiding the other night! (Ava's tub)

Ava taking a snooze, letting it all hang out! :)
