Missed pics from Kit's zero birthday

 These never before seen pictures were hiding in ryan's phone.  Love that top picture..moments after she was born.

Ryan's mom helped the girls make a birthday cake for kit.  They even got a zero candle!

Two princesses and a baby

6 years old

Lola and Ava turned 6 yesterday!  I filled their room with balloons after they went to sleep, so they were pretty excited when they woke up in the morning.  Ryan made waffles with strawberries and cream.  Then we went to swimming lessons, which the girls LOVE.  They are doing so well.  When I was their age I wouldn't put my face near the water.  They are doing full bobs.  After swimming we went to Safeway to pick out a cake.  They decided a store bought cake is better than a homemade one.  They ended up choosing a cheesecake, but it is really hard to get two 6 year olds to agree on one.  I almost gave in and bought two cakes, but I really didn't want 100 pounds of cake at our house.  When  Ryan got home we went out the Pasta Market and had spaghetti.  This was their first birthday away from Utah so it was sad not having all the family celebrate with us.  Instead, we got a bunch of birthday songs over the phone.  It was awesome and the girls loved it.

Kit and Me

Proof I do exist. 

Happy Father's Day

When he's not at work... 

or working at home...

he's on the guitar...

or someone is ON him...

or beside him...

 or he's teaching someone something... 

like riding a bike or how to read...

or how to play video games...

or he's reading bedtime stories...

or playing dress up... 

or spending time with me...

or holding our baby...

this DAD is the best!

Where Kit sleeps

So much love

I can't believe what a good mom Ava is.  She's a natural at holding Kit without her head wobbling off.  Ava loves to help with anything and everything.  These girls love the socks off Kit.  Lola constantly says, "I can't stand it, she's so cute".  And my favorite, "I just want to squeeze her head"....(in a kind and loving way. ) I warned the girls before Kit was born that she might get annoying if she cries a lot.  They haven't once been bothered by Kit.  In fact, whenever she makes a peep Lola and Ava think it's the cutest thing ever.  Most of the time the girls are very helpful.  Like today when we were running late and I let them feed her a bottle while I got ready.  I was amazed....until she threw it up right when I got her in the carseat.  woops.  Sometimes they smother her, or bop her on the head, or try to pick her up, or shake the bouncy seat too hard, but they love her soooo much.  Let's hope she survives.  haha

Queen of Hearts

I just love her heart in between her eyes.  I think she might have a super power.
