My Princess...

Maybe I'm trying to make up for the months of no posts, but since I just posted pictures of the boys, I thought it fitting to do one about my little princess.  Ava is such a sweet heart and I don't know what I would do without her!  While she can be a total drama queen, she is patient, caring, and always willing to share with her three little brothers.  I actually think she is getting to be more and more fun as she is growing and learning about the world.  She and I can have real conversations (something I miss sometimes being at home all day with the kids) and I really appreciate that.  She has started to tell "jokes" that make absolutely no sense, but she still thinks its funny and it makes me laugh!  I love her to death.

Avas birthday












I can't believe my little girl is almost 4! We celebrated her birthday with Alanas at my grandmothers home. I wish I got some pictures of the kids going down the long slip-n-slide, but alas! yep, sometimes I just fail mommmy-101. But i did get SOME pictures of the event! It was a blast...

Ava draws her numbers!

Me: Hey ava, can you draw an eight?
Ava: Yeah (then she draws an 8 on her doodle pro)
Me: Good job!  Now can you draw a five?
Ava: uhh, no... I not know how!
(silence)
Ava: Wait! I know!
(then she puts her hand on the doodle-pro and traces her hand)
Ava: Ta-da! five!

Ava is also writing her name and can even write MOM!

Age

Well today during ward choir practice Billy was reminded that he "robbed the craddle" but the idea that he is a bit older than me really hit home during this conversation:

I was looking in myself in the bathroom mirror, and I realized I have the start of wrinkles around my eyes!  So I exclaimed...

Me: Man, I'm getting old.
Ava: But I don't want you to get old.
Me: me neither!
Ava:  But daddy is already old!

She said it quite matter-of-factly.  I'm not sure what she sees when she looks at her daddy, but it sure was funny to hear her comment on it!

On a side note: Bennett cut his first tooth this week and is now frequently pulling himself up to a stand on the couch!
