Happy Birthday Sweet Gussy!

Gus Carby Reinhart celebrated his third birthday today!!  The party was incredible.  Sarah and Mitchell put on a huge party that was sooooo much fun.  Gus's birthday is actually tomorrow but considering Derby is tomorrow, it was decided it would be celebrated today.  Ava fell asleep right after her bath.  She was so tired she fell asleep in a chair while she was watching me decorate some cookies for a Derby party tomorrow.  Alex and Ava enjoyed playing with all the guests and the great activities like the bouncer, playset, apron decorating, chalk and bubbles.  Here are a few pictures of the big party.  I love my sweet Gussy so much.  Happy third birthday Gus!

Candy Candy Everywhere!

This year's Easter has to be the record so far for the most amount of candy my children have received!  We have tons and tons of sweets and chocolate, I don't know what I am going to do with it all. 

Our Easter started off with a visit from the Easter Bunny, church at Lourdes, my parents house, and then a trip to my husband's side of the family.  It's been busy but fun!  Ava and Alex have enjoyed their candy, spending time with relatives, and a little egg hunting as well. 

Everyone is passed out on the couch including Daddy so I figured this would be a good time to update the blog, clean up a little around the house, do some laundry, and get everything ready for school tomorrow.  It's amazing what I can get done while others are sleeping:)  I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Pictures from the week

Just an average week for us at the Hughes's household.  Lots of painting, baking, coloring, playing, school, and horse back riding lessons.  I think this weekend is going to pretty much fly by, so I thought I would update now before our busy weekend arrives.

A quick update on Alex.  He is talking so much!!!!!!!!  He repeats everything you say, "i love you, mama, dada, plane, car, ava, bella, mimi, grandaddy, no, mine, etc.  Getting him to say helicopter is pretty funny to hear.  He is super loveable and sweet.

Ava is as strong as ever and as I mentioned in the last post developing somewhat of an attitude.  Today at her horse back riding lesson there were two other older girls in her ring.  I have never seen Ava have  a better lesson.  I feel like she was trying to prove to those girls she could do whatever they were doing.  She held up her posture, and reins, and didn't giggle like she usually does when trotting.  She was serious and ready to ride today.  She was exceptionally cute and a joy to watch:)  We are however cutting her lessons back to every other week because she has mentioned she wants to play baseball with her cousin Gus.  I think at three Ava's schedule is filling up a little too quickly and we need to cut back a little.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
