5 months old, already!

Today, Ivee is 5 months old. Where has the time gone? But this has been a sad week for her. Two weeks ago Avarey brought home a cold from school and of course it had to travel through the kids. Avarey and Ashanti really didn't get too sick. But, poor Ivee is miserable! She has to go in for a chest xray tomorrow. But on a positive note she is finally gaining weight on a regular and healthy pace. She weighed in at 9lbs 15oz Monday. My 5 month old is as big as some newborns! But she is really strong and smart. She loves to play with all her noise toys. And her ducky that Nanna bought her is her favorite toy ever! Her favorite thing to do is stand! She would stand all day if we let her! Her sisters just adore her! And loving helping in any way they can. What a miracle our kids are! We are so blessed to have them! Mommy and Daddy love you, Avarey, Ashanti and Ivee!

The girls had so much fun coloring eggs! They thought it was pretty cool that you can write on it with a crayon and the color would not take to that spot! The littlest things amaze them! They were not happy that mommy only let them color a dozen a piece though! Oh well at least we had a fun filled night!!

Easter cookies!!

Since Avarey was little I have made cookies for every holiday and let my kids decorate them! They always have a blast! Lately we have included Kortnee in on our festivities and the girls' have really enjoyed that! This time I made pink bunnies with yellow, pink, and purple frosting! Ashanti's cookies always come out looking tie-dyed!!

Grandma Ina

We were so lucky to be able to spend and entire week with Grandma Ina last week! We all miss her so much! The girls had so much fun with her! They loved spending the night with her at the hotel and having "Little Lady" time! We can't wait for next time! Thanks Marina for everything! We love and miss you!!

I can't believe how grown up my little girls are! Its sad how you don't realize how much they have grown until you look at the pictures!

Crazy week

What an exciting this next week is for us! My mom flew in from Las Vegas on Thursday! The girls were so happy to see her! I wish she was not so far away! We have had fun with her. She flies out tomorrow. And then we are heading up to Noel's birthday party at Crystal Hot Springs!

On Monday Grandma Ina and Auntie Brenda are coming to Utah from Sacramento it has been a year since we got to see grandma Ina! I am very lucky to still have such a close relationship with her! And can't wait for her to get here! We get her for a whole week!! Drive Careful Marina! We love you!

Oh and I am back in school! Going back this time has been harder on me then ever before! But I am getting used to it quickly! Sorry that it took me so long to post. Our computer crashed and is still not up to par! Hope all is well!!
