Ava's 4th Birthday!

We decorated the house for her lunch party.

In the morning Ava opened presents from family.

New Jump Rope

Cupcakes for the party!

Waiting for our friends to arrive.

Dinner at the Mayan!

Ava took this picture of Luke.

I added it to the blog because we hardly ever get pictures of Luke.

Ava had a great 4th birthday and was really spoiled! (in a good way!) Thanks to everyone for all the gifts. She knows she is one lucky girl. Ava kept saying over and over that it was the best birthday ever!

The Tulip Festival

We went to the Tulip Festival today at Thanksgiving Point and it was beautiful! Not all of the tulips and flowers are fully in bloom yet, but there were still plenty flowers to look at. There aren't any pictures of Luke, because, you guessed it, he's the photographer. I also asked him to take a lot of pictures of Tess. We seem to have a lot more pictures of Ava, so we decided to devote most of his picture taking today for Tess. She is one hard kid to get a picture of though! She's just so full of energy and loves to run.

This flowering tree is at the entrance to the gardens.

Tess making funny faces.

We'd love to have friends and family come to the Tulip Festival with us. Since we're members we can get guests in half price! Call me or leave a comment if you'd like to come with us one of these days. The tulip festival runs through May 1 I believe.

Conference Weekend Pictures

Luke took a few quick pictures before we headed out the door to conference sunday morning. I was so lucky to have the privilege to attend the Sunday afternoon session in the Conference Center. These pictures are a little slow in being posted, but with the weather warming up a bit Luke will most likely be taking more pictures of the girls soon. So hopefully we'll have some from the Tulip Festival to post later this week.
