M&M's...

Ava knows that when Julian goes potty she gets a treat...well, as soon as she hears it flush, Ava makes a mad dash to the M&M jar :) She discovered she could climb up on the table and demand what she wants - it's quite entertaining!

Notice the stool - she's one smart cookie!

and she looks SO innocent!

"Eggs"travaganza...

Saturday, April 3rd, our gym (VillaSport) held their annual Easter "Eggs"travaganza! It was a fun day for the girls , and a close encounter with the Easter Bunny was quite entertaining!

Can we go already????

Julian loved him...

Ava, not so much!

Operation Stay Sane...

The girls and I are very blessed to have some wonderful friends! What better than a weekly dinner date (and lots of wine of course) to pass the deployment year? Below are photos from our first two weeks and a few shots of Rob enjoying his extended vacation, haha!

Amy & Henry, Ashley, Jeannette, & Eddie, Me and the girls (Julian pretending to be innocent!)

Still in good spirits :) It's always nice to see his smile!

Must Love Fruit...

Thankfully my girls love fruit - tends to be the breakfast and dinner of choice :)

Blueberries - are r friends :)

I think she might turn into a strawberry :)

Potty Prize...

Today was Julian's big trip to the toy store to celebrate her potty training success! I told her she could pick out anything she wanted and before we got there, she had decided that she wanted a Dora the Explorer Mermaid! Well, we found Dora, but as we were headed to the cash register, she spotted Cinderella and Dora quickly took a back seat! She is so excited! (For those of you who don't know, we call "Cella" every time she goes #2 on the potty...thanks to my sister it's been quite a hit!)

POTTY SUCCESS!!!

So it has been a long...and I mean LONG....process, but we finally have SUCCESS!!! As you can see from the Potty Chart (this is for going #2 in the potty - thankfully we mastered #1 a while ago :), it was a rough couple of weeks but when she got it, she got it! Tomorrow is her special day - I am taking her to Toys R Us so she can pick out her special prize!

PB & J...

Peanut Butter and Jelly is a staple in our household - both girls love it! I just wish is didn't make such a mess!
