Lots Going On!

So, I have been very bad at keeping up my blog. I guess I'll use being super busy as my excuse as you will see by the pictures I will be posting. We'll start back at the end of March:

Shane, Myself, and Ava took a spring break trip to Idaho where we had an early Easter celebration and also did an early celebration of Ava's birthday. It was such a great time. Ava loved playing outside ALL day long and getting to play with her cousins. She had a blast doing the easter egg hunt, and you can't forget the CANDY--always a hit! For her birthday party we had the entire family up to my mom and dad's house where we colored easter eggs and enjoyed eating "Pooh" cake--all of us except Ava. She actually started dry heaving when she tasted it. I'm not sure if it tasted that bad or if she just couldn't handle eating Pooh! It was such and wonderful trip and we look forward to the next.

Grandma Cummings made Ava her own apron and she was so excited!


The infamous Pooh cake!


No pooh cake here--only icecream for the birthday girl!

It just wouldn't be Idaho to mix up the beautiful 70 degree temps with a little snow and 20 degrees the next day. It was pretty fun for us since we don't get to see the snow much. Shane took Ava on her first sleigh ride and then built a snowman together. She had a blast!




I hope this isn't yellow snow.
