Happy Birthday Jojo!!!

On April 12th, Jojo turned 1!! It's insane how fast babies grow up. I remember getting a text from Liz last year saying Alexis was in labor. I was so jealous because I wanted Ava out too. I'm pretty sure I sent Pete out to get spicy food that day...Of course it didn't work..she came out 5 days later haha. Anywho the Party was on April 13th and it was GREAT. The weather was gorgeous and the party was outside under a huge tent. Alexis and Joey, you guys did amazing. It was a Jake and the Neverland Pirates themed birthday and it was so cute!! Here are some pictures of his big day!!

Happy 4th Birthday Mya!!

WOW, I can't believe you are 4 years old already. I still remember the first day I met you! On new years eve in 09'! You wear so adorable and so tiny. Seems like it was yesterday. I watched you learn new words and grow up into such a girly girl and I LOVE IT. I was actually lucky enough to have her do my makeup on her birthday. Your a great big sister and an amazing big cousin!! I love you kid!! On her birthday she had over the family and we had pizza and cake! Here are some pictures from her big day!!

Ava being amazed by all the balloons

Dancing together lol

It was beautiful outside so everyone stayed outside for most of the party!!

Dewey making sure none of the girls fall out the car. I swear these two are the most active kids lol

Can you tell how excited she is?

Pete aka Robin Hood

Ava was loving JoJo

He was so content with his balloon!

Ok this picture was taken when Ava was still scared of grass. So she panicked and I'm pretty sure she wanted JoJo to save her lol. 

It was so great celebrating this birthday...I say this to all the kids...I know you have to grow up and all...BUT SLOW DOWN! 

Ava's First Easter!!

Well this day SUCKED! Me and Ava both were super sick!! We were supposed to go to Pete's parents house to eat dinner but we stayed home so we didn't spread germs. We got a ton of food though LOL. Pete brought some back and my parents dropped some off. One thing about Ava is, it doesn't matter how sick she is, she will ALWAYS eat lol. We didn't get too many pictures, but these are the ones I got..

She even looks sick here :(

Ava and the Easter bunny!!

Now just a random picture of my princess!

Let's go Sun Devils!!!!

My niece Niyell in playing softball again this year!! Last year I didn't really go to any games or anything because I had a newborn so it was difficult. This year will be a lot more fun going to the games because I have a little baby girl who likes to run around lol. It was so great to be there to support her! First she had a parade where all the teams got introduced and then they had a game.

FEAR THE FORK!!

The future champs

Practice

They all have to wear face masks cause of an injury that happened last year

She did amazing! They won the game cause of her!! MVP

Ava was all over the place that day!!

YAY!

Can't wait to go to some more of your games kiddo! We had a blast!

Happy 8th Birthday Niyell

My oldest niece recently turned 8!! This is so hard for me to believe. I actually got the pleasure of being in the delivery room when my sister had her. I was supposed to take pictures. However I was in shock and didn't take one picture....SORRY KELLIE lol. Anywho I love you so much Niyell. You are such a ball of energy and you lighten everyone's mood just by being around them! I love watching you grow, but feel free to slow down a bit! I missed her party at the skating rink but we were able to join her for a birthday dinner!

See the crazy cake she requested LOL

Us at dinner. Nona and Dewey babysat Ava

Love you guys!

Happy 85th Birthday Pop Pop

My grandfather turned the big 85 last month and we had a little party for him. We got so much closer since you moved in with us back in 2008. I love you SOOO much!! It's so cute. Ava actually just learned how to say "pop pop". She is also obsessed with him and his wheelchair. Whenever he's not in the family room she goes over to his bedroom door and looks in! Here are the pictures from the big day.

He does not look 85! Hope I get those good genes

daddy's little girl LOL

Pop Pop and the grandkids!

Happy 11 Months and St Patricks Day!

I know. It's so horrible that I'm just getting this out..since Ava will be 1 next week! But here we go..This month you learned how to walk!! This was probably one of my favorite milestones that you've done. Well I did enjoy when you first called me "mama". This month was another month that you don't sleep through the night. I'm wondering if you ever will. I miss my sleep. You got a cold this month and you had a horrible cough. It broke my heart. You still have a slight cough now. I'm convinced it's because of allergies though. I have the same cough. I just do it because my throat itches. Since you turned 11 months on St Patrick's Day you wore a shamrock shirt all day long. You were also a grumpy little baby today so I hardly got any pictures lol

Just woke up

Reading her favorite book

All dressed up!

The family minus Pete

Ava hanging out in Pete's chair!

The only picture I got of her with her sticker lol

Hopefully we get a better monthly sticker picture next next week!
