my sweet, sweet Ava Grace is growing up so fast- right this very moment she loves:


reading, Junie B. Jones books, singing and performing, nail polish and lip gloss, coordinating her outfits and jewelry by color, performing magic tricks, riding her bike with no training wheels, her best friend Ashlynn Little, sleepovers, littlest pet shop, writing her own stories, Taylor Swift, listening to her ipod, getting dressed up, parties, dancing.


Ava is very witty and smart. She is always thinking one step ahead. She told me the other day "You always need to have a plan B." Ava is competitive and very determined. Her goal for this year is to read her whole Bible. We are so proud of the young lady that is growing up before our eyes.

Spring is Here!

Well it is that time of the year again when things get going.... Ethan is playing t-ball and coach pitch, since Nathan is the coach. Ethan is doing very good. He is born and built to be an athlete. We are so proud of him. After T-ball he starts tennis. Ava is on the Riverwood Swim team and she is loving it. We are so proud of her because she is a really good swimmer. School is coming to an end and I am so amazed with Ava's writing and reading skills. She is on a 3rd grade reading level and just loves to read. Summer is right around the corner and we can't wait to hit the beach! What a stress relief it is going to the beach- in the mean time we have been hiking which we love to do at Umstead. Things are getting crazy around here because all of my homeschool material is coming in and I am getting overwhelmed a bit but so excited. The things they will be learning next year is amazing to me and I can't wait! Cullen will be off to preschool 3 days a week which will break my heart and I do not want to send him but I have no other choice since I am homeschooling. I am thankful for the opportunity I will have to try this and I pray it works for our family. So for now we are busy, busy living life and continuing to be thankful for all of our blessings.

















update

i have been so busy i have not had time to get on my blog. i even forgot my password- that is bad.
let's start with Cullen:

when I thought this child could not get in more trouble he does.... a few weeks ago when he was supposed to be taking a nap he got into ethan's room and dropped a container of star war legos in the fish tank - the fish was trapped under all the lego's and ethan's ipod! Yes, he dropped the ipod in the fish tank. I don't know how long the fish was under all that stuff when i found him I thought he was dead but he was not- Ethan was not even worried about his ipod, he was more worried about his fish- needless to say Nathan took care of that punishment- well we get a new ipod for ethan and yesterday I hear "I'M GOING TO GET CULLEN"... I run upstairs and he has dropped the new ipod in the fish tank AGAIN... I thought after the first whooping he would never do that again but I guess not. So Nathan again spanked him on the bottom. What am I going to do with this child?

The other day on the way to my dad's 82nd birthday party I look in the back seat and see Cullen looking like an INDIAN- he had gotten into the markers and on the 20 min. ride to my sisters house decided to color all over his face, his arms, his legs! So he looked Perfect for our family pictures-

His new thing is collecting rocks, does not matter where they are he will get them and put them in his pocket-

He has been going behind my curtains and drawing on the walls.

Running late to get too my parents for lunch and he sees the huge mud puddle- I tell him not to get in it 1 second later here he comes shoes wet, socks wet, pants wet.....

I tell you the truth, if he did not have Ava's personality and look like her I really would think they switched my child at birth with this child b/c Ava and Ethan NEVER did things like this.

He can be sweet though, he puts those little arms around my neck and gives me the sweetest kisses all the time. He will not let me out of his site- He is my momma's boy! So all the bad he has been doing he knows all he has to do is give me a sweet little kiss and I melt and say those sweet words with that sweet voice,, "mama, mama, mama"

AVA:
Doing so well at school, I am so proud of her. She loves to learn and is so smart.. Reading, Reading, Reading is her favorite thing. She is on the swim team at riverwood- She has a BFF and that is so sweet, makes me remember my days as a little girl with my BFF's...

ETHAN: can you say Baseball- this boy is great at baseball, He loves it and is playing on the t-ball team and nathan's coach pitch team where he is the youngest but you would never know- he also loves NFL football, basketball- he is taking tennis lessons and wants to play football in the fall. This one is my definitely my athlete... He is still so tender hearted and kind but he has come out of his shyness stage and it is so fun to watch him grow into a little man!

so with all this going on and life i'm tired:)
