Easter Pics

Grandpa Lowary picked this dress and sweater out all by himself- I thought he did a GREAT job!!! Isn't she precious?! Oh, and I think she looks just like my niece Whitney in the above picture- what do you guys think?


I didn't post any pictures of her Easter basket because it was pretty pathetic, the Easter Bunny waited until the night before to get everything, and all the stores were out of everything. Hopefully next year the Easter Bunny will be on top of things!! We had a really good day, we went to our friends Scott and Kristen's house and Ava got to play with their adorable little girls and we all over stuffed ourselves on the YUMMY dinner. We also did some of their traditions with them and it was really cool!

Meet the Murdocks...

That's right folks, my beautiful sister got married!!! That is her HUSBAND, Chris! Aren't they a cute couple?!
The ring shot.
GORGEOUS!




Her friend made this AWESOME cake- I was SO impressed- great job Dri!!

Congrats Kallie and Chris!!!!

She LOVES shoes!

The other day Ava walked out of her room like this, she put the baby in the stroller, and I don't know if you can see it, but she has a little tie thing around her neck, she's such a crack-up- hahahaha!!!
She loves to put our shoes on and walk all around the apartment, she's getting pretty dang good at it too.
She's saying "CHEEEEEEEEESE!" I'm pretty sure she learned that from little miss Dutch. I LOVE it- she says it everytime we try to take a picture, we just don't always catch the face, we're a little slow.

Oooh... nice try sweetie, they're just backwards...hahaha!!!

Utah Trip...TONS of Pictures!!

This is little Dutch, I think this was the first morning that we were there.
I just thought this picture was really cute!

Here is Ava, Jack, and Dutch. What a group of CUTE kids!!!!

Ava was not exactly cooperating with the pictures being taken. She would not stay still, I have so many blurry pictures of her from this trip.
I just thought that Dutch looked BEAUTIFUL in this picture.
As you can see, Ava wasn't really still for this one either, but it was the best one of all of us that I got. It was SOOOOO much fun to have my mom and sisters around.
I can't believe how dang old Ava looks in some of these pictures!!!!
The weather was really nice for a couple days I was there, so we got to go to the park, it was really fun.
I LOVE this picture. Look at Dutch in those sunglasses, they were adorable!!! Ava wouldn't even let me get close to putting sunglasses on her, but when Amy told Dutch that she looked pretty, she just kept them on, it was so funny.
These girls LOVED running around in their diapers, we were cracking up. We were trying SO hard to get pictures of them both looking at the camera, and they would just run off giggling and screaming, it was absolutely hilarious!
So... for the next photo-shoot, we put them on the couch with toothbrushes, that worked out a little better, silly girls.

One day we decided to dress them in CRAZY outfits that didn't go together at all, but goodness, they still looked adorable.
I'm pretty sure that Ava just took that little bottle from Dutch. She was constantly stealing toys.




What a sweety.
Poor Ava got REALLY sick for the last like 4 days we were there. Poor girl had a fever for like 3 days and a rash... doesn't this picture just break your heart?!

We had SOOOOO much fun in Utah. It was amazing to have so many people around to play with. We got to stay for 2 weeks, thanks again Amy for letting us come for so long. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you again soon!!!

It's been awhile...

So the other day we look over at Ava, and instead of eating, she was lining up her pieces of hot dog. It really reminded me of her cousin Zack, he always lined everything he played with up- kids are SO funny!!
I actually got ready one day so I had Blayne take some pictures of me and Ava, she was not in the mood, most of them turned out really blurry because she would not sit still, but this one turned out alright, kinda.
Ava's hair is long enough to put in a whole ponytail- FUN!!!
So when I was really sick a couple of weeks ago Ava pulled a little cabinet down on herself :( I hate those moments that make ya feel like a bad parent. Her poor little nose was all swollen, she was tough though, only cried for a couple of minutes, then she was fine, yep, she's my daughter- hahaha!
What a goof!
Just thought this picture was cute.

Well, we've been switching off being sick for the last couple of weeks, Valentine's Day sucked- Blayne and Ava were both really sick. But they're better now so we had a nice dinner tonight and me and Blayne are going to watch a movie, and Blayne got me the OC Trivia game, we haven't had time to play, but I'm REALLY excited!!!! We also found out today that smarty pants Blayne passed his first part of the CPA exam- YAY!!!!! Only 3 more to go!

So Cute!

So, I made this apron for Ava and I think it's REALLY cute and I was pretty proud of myself. We were doing it for an activity for church, so I had someone who knew what they were doing explaining what to do, since I don't really know how to sew. Anyway, I like feeling like a crafty mom, since I'm not really- hahaha!!


What a cutie!!!
