Funny Prayer

Tonight Ava had a nice little prayer. I will give you a little part of if. "Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for my family. Thank you for Daddy. He is the perfect woman." Try not to laugh too hard. I though you needed a smile today!

Alligators and Care Bears

Ava and Isabel were playing a game about keeping away from alligators. Ava had a Care Bear in her arms and Isabel had a stuffed puppy in her arms. Ava exclaims in a emphatic voice, "Alligators only eat puppies, but not Care Bears!" The rules of the game are very flexible.

Gabe, Michelle, and Kids come to LA!

Caleb is loving his food!
We celebrated three birthdays when my family came down. Ava's a little late, Elijah's on time, and Isabel's early. They had lots of fun celebrating together and opening their gifts.

Sterling was hanging out with Uncle Gabe and eating cereal for breakfast.


Isabel and my niece, Briana, played dress up and restaurant a lot. It was so nice to see the girls having so much fun together! When our family left, Isabel was very mopey and just laid on the couch for a couple of days. Briana also was crying on the the way home because she missed her cousins.



What a cutie! Here is Caleb looking surprised--or maybe surrendering to police? Either way, he was a delight! He is giggly, sweet, and very mild mannered.




Michelle is giving Elijah some Mommy love. Elijah is only 10 days younger than Ava.





Happy Caleb!






Sweet little girls! Lily, Briana, and Isabel just hanging out.







While my brother was here, he put together a play set for the kids. It is wonderful! He, of course, did a fantastic job and put it together very quickly. If Josh and I were to do it I bet it would have taken us all weekend! Thank you so much Gabe!
We had a wonderful time with Gabe and Michelle. We were so happy that they came down to visit us. After all, we know that DeRidder, LA is not a vacation spot. They came to see us. I know it is a long hard drive with three kids. They definitely showed their love for us by coming down here. We were blessed by their presence. We miss you guys! Thanks for visiting. See you in July.

Cute conversation

I don't have a lot of time, but I will leave a little post. My brother and his family came down for the last week. It was awesome. We miss them so much! Anyways, as soon as I have more time I will post some pictures and commentary.

The other day as we were eating supper, Ava and Isabel had a cute conversation. I will give you a little background on the topic. Two Christmases ago, Bel and Lily received leapster games. Ava just now received a leapster game for her 4th B-day. Ava's is an upgraded model compared to Bel's and Lily's models. So, as we are eating Bel says to Ava, "Ava, your leapster is so cool." Ava grins and replies, "Isabel, your leapster is cool too." "Thanks, Ava," Bel replies. "Your welcome, Bel. I love you," Ava says. "I love you too, Ava," is Bel's answer. How cute is that?
