4 yr old friendships...

This morning we went to go visit with Dave's cousin and his family that were visiting from California. Their oldest, Ava, is almost 4 (birthday coming up in a little over a week!) and her and Vinny really seemed to hit it off. We have heard about Ava all day.
How big is Ava? This translates to how old is she.
What can we take to her birthday party? Sorry, she lives too far away...
Can we go to California to see her? maybe someday....
Mom, I need paper to make Ava a card. We now have a card ready to be sent to cousin Ava (I just need an address...).
Almost left out one of the first comments that really made me chuckle on the way home from our visit. 'Mom, I need to have a sleepover with Ava'. Yikes!!
The new bonds he makes are so sweet. Can't believe he is almost 5. Wow!

Spring pics



I have been trying to get some decent pictures of the kids for a while now. Addie is my toughest subject. She has really taken a dislike for the camera. Her new thing is when she sees the camera she says 'my eyes, my eyes' and covers her eyes. Apparently the flash on the camera is blinding to her! We were outside the other day and it was a beautiful sunny day - NO flash needed - and she did the same routine. ugh! Vinny is always the goofball. He loves to make crazy faces for the camera. My only hope these days is the long lens and catching them from a distance.





Let them eat cake!



Our little baby does not seem like such a baby anymore! She is getting so big and so fast! The kid loves cake! :) she got to have a lot of birthday cake spread over several days and she liked them all!! We had her birthday party last weekend. She seemed to enjoy herself and ALL her cousins made it! The kids have 11 cousins (very soon to be 12) and they all played very well together. They had a fun day and all slept very well after a busy day.
