Easter festivities

 We have had a great Easter Season this year. We decorated Easter eggs.

Last week, we went to see the Easter bunny. Avery was so cute, she ran right up and hopped on his lap. Then she struck the pose :)

 The Saturday before Easter we went out to Josh and Jonnilin and celebrated with the Danford's.

The kids we very excited to get their Easter baskets.

 Even Alexa :)

Sorry Angela, I didn't get a picture of Lila!

After baskets the kids dyed Easter eggs.

 Josh made his world famous crawfish while Josh and Jake supervised.

 Strike a pose boys :)

 This made the 2 pregos VERY HAPPY!

We had a fabulous day! It was perfect weather, we spent the entire day outside.

The kids played their hearts out. Bubbles, power wheels, and MUD!!!

We are so thankful to have all the Danford's in one place right now.

It is so sweet to watch the kids make memories and laugh with family.

Halfway There!

I just made 21 weeks. I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy has been flying by. Thankfully the aches, pains and sickness have been minimal.

We had THE Ultrasound at 19 weeks. And I am finally starting to show. Josh and I went to my appointment while Avery was at school. The US tech zoomed in straight to the "money shot" and said with 99% certainty she is ALL GIRL!!! I made her recheck about 3 times. We are ecstatic for baby girl #2!

The rest of the scan was perfect. Her anatomy was all normal and size was perfect. She was a wiggle worm the whole time. She was hiccuping, yawning and trying to suck her thumb the whole time.

Josh and I went straight to Avery's school to tell her the news. She loved how Jake and Angela did their reveal so we did the same thing for her. She was very excited to see pink balloons. She's been referring to the baby as a girl from day 1. I kept telling her it could be a boy and she would say " That's ok, you can have another one" She was getting a sister one way or another.

Avery's Birthday Week

 Avery had a fun filled birthday week! On Wednesday we made cupcakes for her class at school.

 She very carefully applied the sprinkles :)

 On Thursday Josh and I went to her school to celebrate her birthday with her.

She was very excited to see us!

 Cupcakes with her class.

 Her birthday was on Friday and we had a busy day!

Miss Priss requested green cinnamon rolls for her breakfast.

 And of course we had to sing "Happy Birthday"

 Later in the day we visited Julian at Children's Hospital.

Poor baby was having uncontrolled blood sugars.

He was obviously feeling in better spirits seeing his visitors :)

 When we got home, we gave Avery her birthday presents.

 Doc McStuffin's puzzles!

 And a helmet, what does Avery need a helmet for?

 Her new bike!!!!

 Taking it for a spin.

Izzy's turn!

Avery was so funny. Josh had done some research and found this Balance bike. It is supposed to teach kids how to balance without having to pedal, you just glide on it. As soon as she saw it, she said "where are the training wheels?"

She has been getting braver on it lately, but still isn't too impressed.

Avery's 3rd Birthday Party

 January 20th we celebrated Avery's 3rd birthday. We went to a bounce house by the house, it was really nice. You show up with food, cake and decorations and they set everything up.

 Birthday girl ready to play!

 The spread

 The birthday girl repeatedly requested peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

What baby wants baby gets!

 My good friend Jamie made her cake. It was amazing! Homemade white cake and chocolate cake, covered in fondant and decorated with gumballs and fondant. It tasted as good as it looked!

 Cole ready to party

 Everyone having a ball.

 We had a great turn out and I think everyone had a great time!

 Happy Birthday baby girl! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

The lollipop was as big as her head!
