Here is our little dolly - the pictures were taken two days ago. My favorite thing to do every day is pick out her outfit, bracelets too. It's been so hot here - 90 degrees - that she has finally been able to wear short sleeves without shaking from cold. She's still a mini-girl, but growing little by little.

































This was taken this morning (May 18) - her first bath in the big tub. She and Zach had a great time.

Here are some of our recent pictures. Spencer is playing T-ball/coach pitch for the Blue Jays. He is one of the best hitters on the team- hitting it from a tossed pitch almost every time! He is very proud.









As you can see here, Jake had some fun playing with shaving cream the other day. I have had a few people tell me lately that I should submit a "Mikey" picture of Jake to the makers of Life cereal - it must be because his hair is a little longer lately. We'll post one if I get around to it.







Ava's are from a couple weeks ago. She is a smiley, happy girl most of the time now. She is also sleeping a long time at night, thank heaven. We are having a great time as always with her. Zach was left out on this post only because we didn't have room for another photo. He's doing great and playing on the Royals in a machine pitch league. The boys are also having fun learning how to golf from Matt. They went to the driving range last Saturday and all three kids had a great time.

We celebrated Easter at G & G Woolley's in Morgan. The kids had fun looking for candy with Danny and Shakur. It was pretty windy and the BBQ ended up blowing over. We had dessert inside :) The kids flew the big eagle kite with Grandpa up on the hill. Ava Jane (who weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz this week at her two month checkup) looked so sweet we thought you'd all like to see her little polka dot dress she wore to church.

We celebrated Jake's 3rd birthday on April 14th. We had dinner at McDonald's and let the boy's play on the slides for awhile. Then we went back home and had "candy" cake and opened present. There were a lot of them and Jake had a great time as you can see.

Here are some more pictures of Ava's blessing day--some of the same ones that were in the shutterfly album, but some people couldn't view them for some reason so here they are. The dress Ava is wearing was worn by her great grandpa John when he was christened as a baby. Her Grammy Alice made her bracelet.

We are happy to announce that Matt blessed our baby girl today. But guess what? Her name is Ava Jane. Yes, we caused quite a stir in sacrament meeting since no one knew about the change before today, but it suits her and we are happy about it. She wore her great grandpa John's christening dress and a bracelet her Grammy Alice made her. Of course we think she looked adorable! We wish you all could have been here!
