Daycare pictures

The daycare was nice enough to email me these pictures a long time ago. Ava's teacher had to do a project for one of her classes having a child match up colors of hearts. I just loved the pictures. I wouldn't have thought she could do this little game so well. Kids are amazing what they know.

Good Job - yellow on yellow!

One must have fell under the table.

Hmmm....

Happy Birthday Lanee!

Ava's best friend, Lanee turned 2 yesterday. She got a toy box for her birthday that the girls had fun playing inside.

If you are wondering about Ava's hair she took her bow out and it was a little crazy after that.

Dress Up with Grandma

Today was Alli's birthday party. I thought I should let Martha post pictures of that. However, I couldn't pass up posting the pictures of Ava playing with the dress up clothes that Alli got for her birthday. She really liked all the outfits. She had Grandma put all of them on her. She was quite cute.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. We went to Terre Haute in the afternoon out to eat and to do a little shopping. We took Ava with us. I can't imagine what the restaurants were like in the evening because at 3:00 IN time they had over 1 hour waits. We ended up getting into Olive Garden in about 30 minutes. We had a nice day.

Our Little Valentine!

Dancing with her lion.

Daddy's Valentine's. I should have got a vertical picture to show my enormous belly.

State Cheer Competition

This past Friday and Saturday was the State Cheerleading Competition at Bloomington. We left after school on Thursday and spent the night. We competed Friday morning against the other small varsity teams. The girls did a good job but did not make it into the top 10; therefore, they didn't advance to the finals on Saturday. We stayed until Saturday though to watch the finals. It was a good weekend. I was very proud of the girls for how hard they worked to get this far.

Jeff & Ava watched our competition Friday morning. I think Ava enjoyed it a little bit more than daddy.

Is it the Superbowl, A Circus, or A Parade?

We had a couple families over for the Super Bowl on Sunday. The guys watched the game upstairs and the moms and kids watched - well not the game downstairs. It was pretty wild down there. With all the riding toys the kids had a great time making a million laps around the basement. It was quite a parade watching them all go around in circles. Somehow, Martha got stuck helping them get the Gator around all the corners for over an hour. The rest of us sure appreciated it.

I think the back is for cargo not passengers. The kids only fell out a few times though.

She can't quite reach the pedals but she likes her new pedal tractor that Grandpa Buerster found at a tractor show.

Grant Ochs was an amazing driver. He was hauling all the girls around.

Ava went from 1 toy to the next.

These 2 are going to be quite the pair someday. Ava and Lanee Cooper are only 3 months apart so they will go to school together. Look out!

The kitchen was a nice break from riding around.
