Spaghetti Face!!/ Fun at Grandma's

 As you can tell this little butt loves Spaghetti.

A very very messy meal. :)

This is Ava's first time playing on a swing set. She totally loved it. So much fun when the weather is super nice so we can actually enjoy the outdoors. The girls just love Grandma's fun swing set. Lucky for them we just required one also, so the girls will be playing outside a lot this summer. I am excited. :)

Easter/ Such a big girl!!

Easter was seriously the perfect day. The weather was amazing. Made it super nice for the girls to be able to play outside. They were so excited to play with their cousins and for the Easter Bunny. Bill left church a little bit early to hide their baskets around the house. They were so excited when they got home and found what the Easter Bunny left for them. :) Afterwards we headed to the Utykanski's home. So many little girl cousins to play with. It ended up being a really nice relaxing day.

Ava, Madi, Kaylin.

These are Bill's Grandparents John and Myrna.

They were visiting from Michigan.

They wanted a picture with all of their grand kids and great grand kids.

We were only missing one but baby Lilly was in California.

My little girl is seriously growing up so fast. It makes me sad. She turned 9 months old on March 27th. She now weighs 19 lbs and 5 oz. Such a cute little chunk. :) She is all about eating now what we are eating. She whines if we try to give her baby food. She definitely knows what she likes. She is still army crawling all over the house and is starting to pull herself up against the couch and has only been able to climb up one stair so far. Time for a baby gate though before she figures out how to climb higher.

Madi's 5!!

So many pretty princesses.

I hope you enjoy the video of Cinderella singing.

Sorry that it is angled funny.

Well this year Madi really wanted a Princess party, focusing mostly on Cinderella as you can tell. I hired a girl to come dressed up to surprise Madi and all her friends. All the girls loved it. Everyone was really excited to talk to Cinderella and they even made her sing her song twice. All the girls sang with her the second time around. It was really cute. Plus the princess gave Madi a necklace for her birthday. She was telling everyone that a real princess gave her the necklace. After the princess left I had 3 stations set up to make the girls princesses for the day. My sister, Becca, did the nail painting booth. I had a cookie wand booth for all the girls to decorate their princess wands and I had a tiara decorating booth. Plus I made each girl a cute purse to take home their goodies. I think everyone really had a great time and it will be one of those birthdays that Madi will remember for a long time. :) It will be really hard to top this party for me.

Baby Bling Bling.

If you look closely at the pics I got Ava's ears pierced. :) I think baby girls look so so cute with their little ears pierced. I just love it. From what I have been told it is best to either do it before they turn 1 or wait until they are 5 or older so they don't play with the earrings. She was only mad when I was trying to hold her down so they could mark her ears to make sure the holes are even. Other then that she was perfect. Only cried for seriously 30 seconds.

8 months old!!!

Sweet little baby Ava turned 8 months old on Feb. 27th. She really loves interacting with her 2 big sisters now. They are always making her smile and laugh. She really enjoys the number 2 foods that are mixed. She has been spitting it out quite a bit less now. She is trying her hardest to figure out how to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees and sits there and rocks but then goes back to her belly and army crawls. I give it maybe another month at the most and I will have to purchase a baby gate. So crazy that she is mobile.

Such a big girl!!!

Welcome Home Elder Rory Murano.

So last Wed the 22nd we were able to go to the airport and finally bring Rory home. He had been serving a mission in the Philippines, Angeles Mission for the last 2 years.
My girls were super excited to hold up the sign for him but of course they both didn't remember who he was. There was only a few of us that showed up to greet him, but you could tell that he was super excited about those who could make it. My poor sister Becca got lost driving around the airport so she was able to welcome him home once we headed back to my moms house. He was released at my parents home with all of us there to witness it. They asked him to bare his testimony to the family and it was so sincere and beautiful. I teared up several times listening to him. The spirit was so strong. Since having kids I seem to tear up about everything. lol
The Sunday the 26th, was his homecoming. So many family members, extended family, and friends came to welcome him back. It was definitely a packed house barely any room to move but I really enjoyed seeing my family. I loved watching how excited Rory was to be home and visiting with those who he hasn't seen for 2 years. I love my brother Rory so much. He is so awesome and filled with so much happiness. I am so grateful that he was kept safe and was able to return home safely.

Waiting for Rory still.

Such a handsome brother so watch out ladies. :)

Bill look a little too excited to see Rory. lol

Happy Valentines Day!!

I really do enjoy all the holidays. Each one has something fun and exciting to do. So the Sunday before Valentines Day we had a fun family day and decorated cookies as you can see. The girls were way excited. Kaylin of course would spread some frosting on the cookie and then lick the butter knife. Over and over again. :) She was definitely a messy one, but fun is suppose to be making messes at this stage of life. We also ended up watching Tangled, one of the girls favorites. I love Disney movies also so I enjoyed it as well. It ended up being a great Sunday.

This is what happens when Kaylin gets a hold of the sprinkles when my back is turned.

Sprinkles everywhere!!! She used almost the whole container. lol

That cookie is just going to be extra sweet.

So now we are on Valentines Day. Lets just say Madi was rolling in candy. First she had dance and all the girls brought treats to hand out. Then she had Pre-school afterwards and all the kids handed out even more candy and of course I bought the girls a little something for Valentines Day also. I got them Hello Kitty heart boxes with some chocolates inside plus a coloring book with crayons. So more than enough treats floating around here now. Bill brought me home some roses that he ended up sharing with the girls also. He gave them each one flower from the bouquet. The girls were so excited to get a flower from daddy. Super cute and I didn't mind sharing. He also brought home some tasty raspberry filled powdered doughnuts. Not the healthiest breakfast but it only happens occasionally and they are delicious. :)

So Saturday we will be celebrating Valentines Day and I am super excited. It has been forever since Bill and I have been able to go out just the 2 of us. He picked the restaurant, Wingers, and I am in charge of picking the movie. I am thinking Reese Witherspoons new one. My awesome sister Becca is going to watch the girls so I hope for her sake they are good. Either way I am not going to let her get out of it. :)

I love this picture of Ava. :)
