we had to catch up on our 24 while our little girl was sleeping away. 3 or 4 episodes were watched. we've been slacking.

trying on her daddy's glasses. i can't stop laughing.

i love this chair i found. i know. i know. i've now posted about this chair on all of my blogs.

neighbors found this little nest in a tree between our yard. almost sprintime.

this is the reason why i shouldn't bake. i made some delicious banana bread and almost ate the whole loaf all by myself.

this little girl was so excited to go outside and play . . . even though it was a little too chilly for me.

this is a family that is in love with asparagus. it was on an amazing sale so i bought 5-6 bundles of it. it'll go quick.

went to newport beach today with ty, cass, and their family. loved this image I was able to capture

it was wonderful to have this little boy and his family stay with us. we love having family visit.

talking to daddy on the phone before bedtime. she misses him all the time.

loved the shoes ava's little neighbor, brody, was wearing the other day. adorable. (please excuse the piece of apple skin ava spit on the floor :)

what is this, you may ask? it's an open window and we're loving it.

it was ava's birthday and, boy, was she taking it easy.

after a busy day at work, we drove to san diego to see my cousin, zach, in this musical. it was amazingly done and he did a great job. even had a solo.

in preparation of ava's family birthday party, a lot of these were pulled. i filled the bucket to the brim.

received this e-mail from a young man i taught the missionary lessons to (who then was baptized) in el salvador. this e-mail alone made my year. can you tell what it says?

ava received this from grandma S for christmas. it's amazing. and she spends hours with it. it reads to her. what will they think of next?

love coming home from vacations and having loads of laundry to greet me.

this little girl is a fish. she's now trying to swim in the bathtub. uh oh.

made a few valentines for ava's grandparents.

can I ever take too many pictures of my daughter. the answer is no. (just wish I had her face in focus a little more)

she loves this place. me too.

grumpy.
