The Nelson Family came for a visit last week and we had a lot of fun. Because I misplaced my camera while the clan was here, I don't have a lot of pictures. I'm sure Kate will send me some soon and I'll post some more. Grant is riding a very small tricycle as fast as his legs would move. He was cracking us up.

I've Been Tagged!

Here are five things you probably didn't know about me.
1. I am horrible at tag. I was tagged last week and I am just now responding.

2. I am good at a lot of things, but typing isn't one of them. Spell check used to be automatic at the office and I miss that......( I just checked and there were 3 misspellings just in #2..Ahhhg)

3. I kind of have a Wisconsin accent......Okay you might even say I sound "Sconnie" sometimes.

4. I never thought I'd live in Wisconsin longer than a year. I have now been here 8 yrs and realize warm weather doesn't out weigh true love, family near by, and ice fishing (J/K on the ice fishing)

5. Speaking of ice , I've never walked on a frozen lake, and have no intentions of ever doing so. Just the idea makes my stomach drop.

I love to swing!

Back and forth.......Back and forth.

Easter Morning

We went to church as a family and then we let Ava dig into her basket. Of course Matt and I found ourbaskets the night before-we couldn't wait until Easter. I think Ava liked the Grass the most.

Eggs and New Toy

Ava loved those plastic eggs! I considered keeping them out as a toy to play with. Ava is walking with, and riding a new toy she got for Easter from Grandpa and Grandma Paske. She especially loves to make it sing. She can't help but grab the carnival that moves when you honk the horn. She sure loves her new toy.

Music to our ears......

Ava discovered a piano this weekend. She just kept playing......okay pounding. She was in awe at how load she could be. We had to get a picture of her in case she ends up being a concert pianist. You never know.

Easter Egg hunt with Durlin and Grace

We had Grace and Durlin over for an Easter Egg hunt last week. It was 35 degrees outside, so we kept it indoors. Ava loved watching them hunt for eggs. She would get so excited when they would squeal and run by her. We took a break to feed Ava. Durlin and Grace were a big help.

Sara and Matt go on a Date

We went on a date and left our precious cargo (Ava) with Her Aunt Erica, Uncle Corey, and cousins Grace and Durlin. We arrived home pretty late. When we got to our house, Ava just wanted to crawl around and play with her toys. She was just singing and was as happy as can be. She played until 1 am.........

"HOPPY" Easter--hee hee hee

St.Louis March '07-at Kate's House.

Ava had sooooo much fun with her cousins Grant and Ella. Ella was a sweetheart and shared her swing with Ava, which of course she loved.

St.Louis March '07-at the Pool.

Aunt Kate is holding Ava at the pool. Look at those baby blues. Ava also enjoyed playing with the fountains. We had a good time in St.Louis. The weather was fantastic and the company was a lot of fun.

We started our blog. I'll have to update with pic's later this week.
