We Love Family Portaits

I had to put in these pictures of Ashlyn and Alyssa when they were two. Alyssa kept crying whenever we started trying to take her picture. They've grown up so much since then.

What a sweet little girl

Alyssa was being a pill, but what a cute pill she is.

Ava Climbing Again

My One year old

I thought our family picture turned out pretty good considering we were all coming down with cold and ... well, we're just not very photogenic.

Hey Emily! Good to hear from you. Those first photos are exactly how I remember the twins. Little Ava sure is a cutie. I'm sure she has fun trying to keep up with her sisters. We miss you all down there, hopefully blogging will help us keep track of each other.

Stuff that makes me SMILE

10/17/10 Ava loves baby dolls. Lately, she wraps them up and puts them to bed, then tells me, "Shhhh, baby sleeping, I momma."

10/6/10 I walked into the kitchen to find an half of a dollar on the counter. I asked Ashlyn and Alyssa why they cut the dollar in half. Alyssa said, "Ashlyn didn't have one, so I cut mine in half." They were so sweet, I just had to give them another dollar. I taped the cut one back together.

9/12/10 Ashlyn knows all of the primary program songs and loves to sing them. Today in primary I could hear her above the entire junior primary. I was at the back of the room and she was facing the front, in the front row. Her favorite song right now is "I Know that My Redeemer Lives." I was also happy to see Alyssa singing today at church, usually she saves her singing for at home.

9/5/10 Ava has started talking more. Here are a few of the things I have been able to understand: "Mooow" (No), "I done", "Baby" and "I mommy", "By" (said very loud, her voice carries like Ashlyn's), "Cheese", "DADdy", "Grandpa", "I poop" (meaning I want to sit on the toilet, she goes pee in the potty, but so far no poop)

8/1/10 Ava runs, squeels, and dances when she's excited to see you. She makes your feel so good.

7/28/10 Ashlyn and Alyssa were asking how much I loved them. I answered. Then they both said I love as much as the world (meaning as big as). They can be so sweet.

Ashlyn and Alyssa were doing cartwheels. Then I noticed Ava doing "cartwheels". She stands up with her arms straight above her head, then falls down on her side. Then she looks at us with a huge smile on her face, and claps.

Mom: Ava do you want...?
Ava: Sss. (That's yes)

Alyssa: I want some butella.
Ashlyn: Alyssa, it's not butella, it's nutella.
Alyssa: Can I have some butella?
Ashlyn: Lyssaaa!

Ava: We were at my mom's house, and Ava was trying to sit up on the toilet, so I took off her pants and diaper and sat her up there. I couldn't believe it, but she tried to go to the bathroom and three toots came out. She smiled like she was proud of herself.

Ashlyn: That's freakin' me out!
Mom Thinking: Where did she hear that?

Ava's Words: Eye, Dog, most other communcation is pointing at what she wants then hits herself in the chest

Mom: Do you want ...?
Ashlyn: Of course I do.

Alyssa: Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom...
Mom: What?
Alyssa: I love you.
