Easter

We spent Easter with Justin's family in Kansas City, Missouri. Our oldest niece was baptized that weekend, and we all met for the occasion.

Ava had SO MUCH FUN playing with her cousins for a week!

Ava was very excited to "go to Kansas City!" While Justin and I were making piles on our bed of what we needed to take, she was filling the suitcase... 100% with toys!

Dying eggs the night before.

The Easter bunny came while we were at church...or rather, after church while we made the kids stay in the backyard.

Patiently waiting for the signal to start the hunt!

  

I loved that they were all in their cute Easter Sunday clothes while hunting.

Candy!!! Everyone had plenty of it.

I know you are wondering if we took Tyler with us. :) Yes we did, but he fell asleep on the way home from church. He didn't know what he was missing. 

Happy Easter!

I am grateful for a Savior who sacrificed for us
and taught us about love.

Birthday Boy!

On March 16th Tyler celebrated his first birthday!

My tiny baby boy is now a toddler! I can't believe how fast the year went by.

                                         

Tyler is still too young to understand opening presents. He took one bite of the wrapping paper and chewed it. Ava took care of the rest. :)

Once again, he loves putting things in his mouth! 

He got legos, plastic animals and cars for his birthday.

You can't tell, but the sprinkles are supposed to say, "TY." Ava helped. :)

Unlike Ava on her first birthday, he did not cry but loved licking the frosting!

He found this hat at a friend's house and liked wearing it around.

Happy Birthday Cowboy!

One Year Update:

- Tyler is an official walker now. He rarely crawls.

- He says, "Mama" "Dada" and "Uh-Oh"

- He knows what "Uh-Oh" means and will say it while doing something he's not supposed to.

- He loves cars and will push them around the house for a significant amount of time for a one year old.

- I often find him sitting in the corner of Ava's room looking at books by himself.

- He LOVES to climb on EVERYTHING.

- He can't stand his car seat.

- He loves to cuddle.

St. Patrick's Day

This is a super late post, but I really wanted to post these pictures.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ava went on a hunt for the end of the rainbow. 

Clues led her around the house.
