Curlers????

So I thought I'd be creative and put Ada's hair in 

curlers sat. night before church. . . . .

. . . . BIG FAIL!  When she woke up half of them 

were out of her hair.  It was just a tangled mess.

Sorry forgot to take an after shot (but who'd

want to see that anyway!!)

Easter at the Vail's

Ada posing with her new Easter basket 

made by her Grandma Drena!!!!

 She wasnt too sure of what the other

 kids were doing!  Love her face!!

 Stevie posing with his new basket made 

from Grandma Drena!

Finding Eggs!!

The storm that was rolling in threatening 

our wonderful hunt!  Luckily it held off!!

My little swinger!  This is all she ever wants to do!

She is even starting to pump her legs!  

SPRING!!!

I LOVE spring, everything about spring!!  The flowers, the weather, just everything!!!

This year the kids have been obsessed with finding bugs!  They look under the little

bricks and pull them out and lay them on the sidewalk.  This includes: slugs, centipedes, 

rolly pollys, worms, you name it!  I personally think its gross, but whatever keeps

them entertained, right?!!

Valentines Day!!

Tim and I decided years ago that we were not going to get eachother big gifts, go out to dinner, or get caught up in all the other Valentines Day things.  We both think that we should show that love through out all the year and not just when it is designated to!  However, this year Tim did surprise me!!

The first thing he told me was that he had to stay after at school for a meeting.  Then he told me that Stevie should meet him outside when he got home, he wanted to show him a surprise a student got him for Valentines Day.  So, a little late, Stevie saw him pull up and ran outside to see the surprise.  They both walked in with a big basket of fruit, courtesy of Edible Arrangments!!!  Everything was a set up for this wonderful surprise!  What a tricky guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super Long catch up post!!

This starts in the late summer of 2011!

Yeah I know, a little late, but who cares!  

At the apple orchard!  The kids loved picking apples straight off the tree.  

Where Stevie is, Adalyn is not far behind.  

Being silly arund the house!

She loves to mess with her belly button!

Aunt Sherrie made a tutu for Adalyn, but big brother Stevie loved it!

What a natural ballerina!!  Shall we call him the dancing Spider Man?!

Devil horns or pig tails?

I made a book for Stevie so he could color, write, draw, whatever he wanted. 

This just happened to be his favorite thinking spot!  He also learned that he could make faces 

for the camera!  Adalyn was always there, wanted to do whatever cool thing

Stevie was doing.  What great siblings!

How in the heck did she get up there??  

No really.  No box or anything to get up there with.  

I just heard her yelling and saw her sitting in the sink of the kitchen!

Stevie decided to do it too.  Shes such the trend setter!!

Stevie got this mask in primary.  It says they are scriptures specks!  He thought he was a super hero!!

Stevie's "scared" face

What beautiful eyes!

Our little family

I made a tent for the kids and found them reading a book together.  In this book

you put your fingers in the eyes of the frog!  Stevie was reading it to Adalyn.

Who sleeps like this?!!

Pumpkin patch!!!  Adalyn loved touchin them all, gooey and slimy ones too.  Stevie not so much!

Found his pumpkin!

My little caterpillar and pirate!!  

Our Christmas tree!!  The weather was perfect!  We got to spend

as much time as we wanted and found the perfect one!!

Tim is actually posing here, he cut it down so fast, I didnt have the camera ready!

Thats some muscles for ya!!

Stevie "helped" take some little branches off!

Watching it snow!!!!
