My mom makes these smoothies that Avery loves, the only problem is, she makes the biggest mess! We totally stripped her down in preparation of the disaster.

She loves wearing sunglasses but she has to put them on herself.

The kids LOVE their new cousin Hunter. They run to him whenever they see him. We have to watch Avery carefully because she'll try to climb on top of him just to be closer. There is no shortage of attention for him, for sure

I had bought some new clothes for James that I wanted him to try on before I took the tags off. As soon as he was done with one outfit I noticed that Avery had taken off her clothes and was trying to put James' on. I helped her out and she was so happy - I could not get her to take them off - so she wore her brother's clothes all day.

Most mornings James will come wake Ben up (because he knows not to wake me up!) This morning in particular he woke up earlier than normal so I just put him in our bed and let him fall back to sleep. As soon as I heard Avery stirring I brought her in as well. Ben was oblivious to it all until Avery started tickling his face.

The kids love their Nanna.

She is totally into babies right now. She has three that she sleeps with.

James' friends came over to watch a movie while I finished getting ready for my trip. I'm so glad that he has good friends that can keep him entertained :)

Trip to Kaua'i! I'm helping my dad out with some corporate meeting planning and that consisted of flying to Hawaii to check out potential meeting space. We were accompanied by my mom, Bethany, Hunter, Michael and Paul! We were only there a few days but it was awesome! My mother-in-law flew in to stay with the kids because Ben was on a camp-out so they didn't even miss me. I hate having my picture taken and Bethany took this one without me knowing so I thought I would include it. That and the fact that I never have any pregnancy pictures! Next year we're going to go with the whole family.
