my sweet Ava

still brings me flowers.....

Practice makes Perfect




Even in the rain..... He wants to be just like Ethan.

cullen at 4

"my belly has a headache."
"i love you too much."
"i love my bo-bo so much."
loves Ninjago
loves peanut butter sandwiches (just like granddad)
loves to be center of attention
loves to play legos
loves to be at home more than any child I know
"I Awesome at this!"
Cullen you are awesome at memory! Cullen replies "I know!"
"i have a great memory"
"We get old, we die and go to heaven."

"Cullen aren't you ready to go back to preschool?"
"NO"
"Don't you miss anyone?"
"I miss you mommy."
and my heart melts!



Ethan tells Cullen he can't count far
Cullen starts to count to 30 then
looks at Ethan and says "Beat that sucker!"

crawls in bed with me every morning and snuggles.

Ethan is his hero and best friend hands down if Ethan drank mud Cullen would too- it is crazy how Cullen thinks Ethan can do no wrong, even when Ethan is mean to him, Cullen does not care. This is unconditional love.

why of all the songs in the world does he like this one? Gangum Style- His favorite part is the chorus-
He loves to stick his head out of the sunroof and sing it- oh me-

Ava's Piano Recital

We are so proud of our Ava. She has worked so hard these past 2 years on her piano. Now she is actually writing her own music with words.  She is turning into such a wonderful young woman right before our eyes. We are so blessed to have her as our daughter.
