birthday road trip

we hopped in the car and headed north:


because Miss Ava turned FIVE!!



and this time, miss thing braved the slide all by herself!



happy, happy birthday sweet ava!

zoo craziness!

the girls, granna, mimi, aunt amy, all the boys and I met at the zoo during spring break. it was crazy, if you can imagine.


the little girls did great.


a few fussy moments.


but mostly, they slept. we are thankful that they love the stroller!


and mimi's wish finally came true when she got to ride the camel with charlie. there's no question about it - she was more excited than the three year old!


emma wanted no part of it.


she prefers looking at the animals and not riding them.






and with six children three and under, two mamas and two grandmothers - we DID IT!!

help for the holiday break!

granna came to spend spring break with us while emma was out of school! we celebrated her birthday while she was here and just SO appreciated all her help with the babies.

I know I'm her mama and all

but seriously I think she could be a super model!!
