Kids update

I haven't updated in a while!  Here are some random doings of the kids.  

They like to have sleepovers.  

Tater sack race at co-op

This is Daisy who we share Ava's clothes with.  They officially met finally!  She is a year younger and her mom who is an ultrasound technician helped me out quite a bit when I was pregnant with Ava and didn't have insurance.  Her kids are both a year younger than ours so the clothes work out perfectly.  

Here is Daisy's brother Wesley sporting Jack's Thor costume that he outgrew.  Still works!  

Play date with some co-op friends!

Baby whisperers - they got Aaron to sleep!

"Yispick"

Ava came out and showed us what she'd been doing with some Frozen lip gloss she got for Christmas and told us, "It's called yispick!"

Stitch free!

Birthday Blooms

Jock at 10 weeks

My actual birthday

So on my actual birthday, we went to the Mall of America and met Matt's parents who took us to the Rainforest Cafe.  We had never been there together before, and it was so much fun.  Lots of fish and animals (fake) who moved and made noises and there was a thunderstorm every 20 minutes.  Really was fun!  So then Matt and I shopped while his parents took the kids on rides and to play with Legos.  Very nice to have some kid free time, and they probably felt the same way!  Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!  It was a special birthday, and I am so blessed.  So much more than I deserve, but I'm not complaining!  Thank you, dear family and friends, for your love and encouragement and gifts of time and expense.  Love you all!

Jock the Hero Dog

My sister Rebekah told me to have Jack watch a movie with a name we were ok with since he seemed to keep picking names of movie dogs.  Well after the kids picked the name Jock, our friends gave us this movie.  Guess we picked the right name!  Perfect!
