Fat Tuesday

We indulged ourselves last night and went out to eat at Chuy's Mexican restaurant and had ice cream the night before!  It was yummy, and the kids loved the festive atmosphere.  The rocks outside the restaurant made for some great entertaining as well.  Ava was pretending she was Dora the explorer.  She had to climb the rocks, and jump over the mud to get to the "castle" a.k.a. the restaurant.  Ava has a great imagination.  After she completed her mission she likes to celebrate with the Dora dance, which I have to participate in as well.  Alex was much happier inside, watching the chefs make tortillas.  Overall, it was a great fat Tuesday!  We are all ready for our Lenten promises,  and looking forward to Easter!

The Weekend Report

This weekend was awesome.  I was able to hang out with some friends that I had not seen in a long time. The kids and I enjoyed Bert being home all day Saturday and Sunday!  Father Ralph even dropped in last night for dinner.  Ava and Alex were more than happy to show him all of their toys, and gave him a a warm goodbye with lots of I love yous, hugs, and waves goodbye.  If you read my sister's blog you know that she likes to find the heaven in everyday. Here is our heaven below. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend :)

A Little bit of Happy

I felt I needed to post some pictures that made me feel happy.  My family has had way too much of the bad and not enough of the good lately.  Ava and Alex can always bring a smile to my face.  These are just some random photos from the past couple weeks up until today.

20months

Alex is 20 months old and just dandy!  I decided this will be my last monthly post about him until his 2nd birthday.  I don't think he will look back on this blog one day and say "hey where's month 21-23!"

I have a stream of pictures that I have taken of my sweet little man, the last three were taken by Annie (my brother's girlfriend.)  Enjoy!
