Chores

Every morning Ava helps me with the dishes (and Cameron attempts to help).  These are from this morning.

Diaper cake

For most baby showers I actually make a blanket as a gift.  With no way to get to a fabric store I had to improvise, so this is what I came up with!  I had a large box of #2 diapers, so I turned them into a cake and then bought a few small things to "decorate" it with (baby nail clippers, bib, binky, washcloths, lotion, babywash, desitin, booties, and more).  I think it turned out cute!

Playing with Amelia!

We dont get to play with friends very often anymore because we only have 1 vehicle for the next year or so, but here are a few pictures from our last visit with Amelia  (one of Avas "bestest best friend").

Without a doubt, the girls FAVORITE game to play is dress-up!

Wall

With instructions from my friend Chelsey I made these adorable canvases with my kids baby pictures.  This is how my wall turned out and i love it!

Dead car...

Our car died a couple of weeks ago.  We had my dad take a look at it while he was here and he had no idea what could be wrong.  So unfortunately we are down to one working vehicle for a while.  Let me know if you know of any steals of a deal!  It certainly makes it hard to visit friends or get errands run, but it also makes my life a little less stressful because I don't ever have to do that during the day by myself anymore!  Just know we still love you all- even if we don't see you for a while ;-)

Mommy and a much younger Cam...

Have I mentioned lately that children grow up much too fast?!?

milestones

Wow!  Bennett is growing up so fast!  Its kind of sad since I know I don't have another baby in my future anytime soon.   He is sitting up on his own and he can get around a room just fine on his toes and hands (he either does the army crawl or he gets into push-up position and then pushes off with his toes until he faceplants, and then he does it again).  He is even loving solid foods!  Today he had some rice cereal, applesauce, banana, and then knawed on some pizza crust, yum!  It's amazing what parenthood does to you; all of a sudden a simple smile or step means the world to you.  Those moments are made up of just pure joy!  I'm so blessed to have 3 healthy wonderful and exhasting kids!
