Ava is "3"

Ava officially turned "3" last week! We celebrated with a couple more little parties and a trip to the circus! Her birthday parade officially has ended. Our kids don't just get one day...Oh well, they will only be little once.

Happy Birthday to my sweet and sassy princess!

The "Littles"

At our house, it can be very busy with 4 kiddos! I've actually started calling Brian "Jim Bob" from the Duggars! We have "The Bigs" at our house...which are Grace and Eli and "The Littles", which are Ava and Silas.

People often ask what it is like having four kids, and I respond with "Awesome...and busy". Each of my kids are each a blessing. My only complaint is organizing socks! Ha! With four kids and two adults in the house, socks are lost, mates are not found, and socks are everywhere! Sandals this summer will be a nice welcome.

Below I have captured "The Littles" through picture. This is a little taste of what we do while "The Bigs" are at school.

I had to capture Silas' look. He loves to suck on his fingers like this.

Milwaukee/Cards Game

We had a blast a few weekends ago tailgating at Miller Park in Milwaukee! Eli and Brian were at their ultimate high! Silas, the girls and I hung out with them and played at the park. During the game, we were able to spend quality time with "little Grandma" (my grandma)! It was nice visiting with family and being surprised to see our good friends the Baker's! It was funny we ran into them waiting at the "Little Johnny" with our kids! We haven't seen them in such a long time. We hope to see them again soon!

Easter Weekend Fun and Celebrating Ava's Birthday

We needed a weekend getaway...so our families (both sides) joined us at the St. Louis Zoo and the Magic House! We had fun just relaxing with family and celebrating Ava's 3rd birthday!

We ended the weekend with a quiet Easter Day and a beautiful church service!
