Avery's 3rd Birthday

Avery had a wonderful 3rd Birthday. Her first party she had was with Nick's extended family. We had a barbecue for all of the April Birthday's. There was only 8 of them. Ha! Ha! She got a lot of Tinkerbell and Princess gifts. She loved them all!

On her actual birthday we had Nick's immediate family and a few friends over for pizza cake and ice cream. Aunt Nikki made her a Yummy Princess cake. Thanks aunt Nikki.

On Saturday my parents came out to Pahrump to watch Kasen's t-ball game and to celebrate Avery's birthday for the last time. My dad is so thougthful. He baked Avery a cake all by himself. She got more Princess and Tinkerbell gifts and she was in Heaven!

We love you Avery! Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Disneyland Trip

Nick came home on Tuesday and said his Mom and Dad wanted to go to Disneyland. Wednesday we were on our way. We met Nick's aunt and uncle and also some friends Craig and Tina down there as well. Craig and Tina have a little boy about 6 months younger than Kasen. They had a blast together. We had tickets for Disneyland and also California adventure.


Kasen's favorite ride is Pirates of the Caribbean. I think we went on it at least 3 times. Avery decided she didn't like it so each time Kasen went on Pirates I took Avery on the Jungle Cruz. One night we all met for dinner at the ESPN restaurant. After two hours of waiting we finally got to order. It was a cool place. The entire upstairs was an arcade and different types of sports games. Avery loves Tinkerbell and oohed and ahhed over the fireworks and especially the part when Tink flies over the park. The kids were wonderful and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa we had a wonderful three day trip.

Easter Fun! - Round 2

I had gone Easter dress hunting for Avery and I ended up buying two dresses. They were both cute and I just couldn't make a decision. I will post a pic of the other one later.


The kids woke up Easter Sunday and were ecstatic that the Easter Bunny had come a second time. Kasen said " The Easter Bunny is real and he sure does love me!" The Easter Bunny again left the eggs inside for the hunt. The kids were just running as fast as they could to collect all the eggs. I bet we could open our own candy store with as much candy and treats as they got. They each got a toy and some clothes. We later got dressed and went to Nick's families cabin which is about 45 minutes away and spent the afternoon with them. It is a wonderful opportunity for my children to be surrounded by both mine and Nick's family. It was a fabulous weekend. (I can't wait for all the candy to magically disappear!)

Easter Fun!

We had a fun Easter weekend. We spent the night at my mom and dad's Friday night. We died Easter eggs and the kids loved mixing and designing their eggs. It was very cold and rainy on Saturday morning, so the Easter Bunny had to do the Easter egg hunt inside the house.

The Eater bunny was very generous and left toys, candy and money inside the eggs. Later that evening we had Easter dinner as a family. As always my kids leave grandma and papa's house spoiled!!!!!

Baby News!

SURPRISE! Baby #3 is on the way. I am thirteen weeks. Again I am a very high risk pregnancy. At about 4 weeks I was already starting to get sick. By 5 weeks I had been in to see my perinatologist or high risk doctor. I absolutley love my doctor. Both he and his office staff were excited to see us back. At that time everything looked good. I am always lucky if I can at least make it to 10 weeks and I did! At seven weeks I had to start my two shots a day of heparin (or blood thinner.) I have had ultra sounds every two weeks and so far so good. I have been extremely sick in the late afternoons and evenings. Trying to juggle being a mom, work, T-ball practices, house work, etc. has been a real challenge this time around. I am thankful that I have such a wonderful husband who has totally picked up the slack. The kids are very excited and of course Kasen wants a brother and Avery wants a baby sister. As for me, if I can make it through the pregnancy with a healthy baby I do not care either way. We are extremely excited to add another sweet spirit to our family!
