April has FLOWN BY!!!
A quick update... my baby girl is growing up!! =)
She has really been developing her skills when playing with her toys. I've loved watching go from just flailing (sp) her arms wildly attempting to grab the toys hanging above her head, to becoming more coordinated grabbing with one hand, improving her grip, then attempting to grab with both hands, and now to easily gripping and pulling hard on the toys... getting bored quickly!! It's so fun.
She has started an adorable "grunting" noise when she's concentrating really hard. So so funny :)
Aaron got to go on a "work" vacation at the beginning of this month, so Analynne & I headed to my family's for the week. On our way over, we stopped to visit my Grandma & Grandpa Ayers. Analynne is their first & only great grandbaby, and they love her dearly. It's so special to watch tears drop from my Grandma's eyes when she gets to hold her Great Granddaughter. She only had boys herself so I think girls are extra special to her. :)
We made a special trip to Palouse, Wa to visit my cousins and have a girl day. We did "homemade" pedicures while Tangled played on the TV for the little girls. From Left, myself, Nicole (who has two little girls), her sister Rochelle, and my sis, Danielle. I'm quite a bit younger than these girls but it doesn't feel like it anymore! Growing up they lived right across the street and always seemed so much "bigger" than me. It's so much fun to be an adult with them now :) We had so much fun catching up and spending good time together.
Nicole's little girls, Elena and Lauren are very sweet. Elena is full of energy and definitely thinks she's a princess! SO CUTE. She tried on multiple dresses for us and some butterfly wings and a few tiaras. Unfortunately I didn't get a good "cousin" picture because SOMEONE was a little cranky & tired :)

We continue to have lots of fun on our play dates with Calvin and Katelyn. We are looking forward to the arrival of our new friend William any day now!! My baby will no longer be the "littlest" of the crew. How sad!! =)
BFF's. ha ha.
We've had lots of fun hanging out with the cousins too. I love these little boys, and I'm so excited for Analynne to run around and get dirty with them! Clark (almost 2!) is holding Analynne, or as he calls her, "Ammo"... and he loves her very much. He's always excited to see her and asks about her whenever he's at Nani's house. Brady (3) is holding the Daivy (3 months). It's hard to believe Brady was not even a year old when Aaron and I got married. How time flies!!
Easter Sunday was a fun day. Our little princess wore her sweet dress she received from her Aunt Molly. She looked like a doll and received many many smiles and "Aww's" :) She sure is a charmer. Especially to her daddy. Aaron has had lots of fun with her lately because he can now officially "throw" her into the air. She gives her daddy big smiles and melts his heart =)
I am so blessed. I love waking up to this beautiful blue-eyed girl and this handsome Godly man each and every morning. The Lord is incredibly gracious to me. I know I deserve none of it. Praise Jesus for living, dying, and conquering death. All so that I can know and love and serve God.
Amen!!
He is Risen.
