Our weekend (in bad iPhone photos).

 Friday we had a nice visit with our little BFFs!  Here they are trying to scare Lauren & I, hiding and waiting around the corner to jump out! 

Saturday John took the day off of work, I think that's a first, I seriously can't remember the last day he DIDN'T work.  Even Easter!  : (  We REALLY appreciate how hard he works for our family, staying home with the girls means everything to me, such a blessing!!!

We decided to make it a fun family day.  After he worked in the yard we all went out to dinner together!
 The girls got all dressed up and we took them to Stanfords.  We had a gift card so the whole thing was even free to us, yay!  
We all had such a nice time!

On Sunday, after church we got to go to a Frozen-themed birthday party for Hailey.  

At the time when Valerie was telling me about this up and coming party I was feeling guilty because the girls had never seen the movie, despite EVERYONE we knew talking about it.  Since then, the girls ended up seeing it TWICE in the theater, and they also now own the movie (Thanks Grandma!!) so they have quickly become EXPERTS on everything Frozen. 
Hailey's grandma MADE this costume for her, so awesome!!  It's hard to see the detail in this picture, but it was really beautiful!
Norah even told a lady at church today as she was passing her by (super randomly) "The 'Let it Go' part is my very favorite!!"  hahaha  That's the main song from the movie, for all of you out there that aren't hanging out with Frozen-junkies. 
  Valerie made a beautiful castle cake for the birthday girl.  The kids also got to make crowns, construct a paper snowman and play pin the nose on Olaf, the snowman character from the movie.  It was super fun!
 Norah got to play the drums, very loudly.  She loved that.  Um, so did the rest of us?  
 Ava looked beautiful, as usual. 
 I love this picture I snapped of Hailey and her sister Jasmine, totally perfect Frozen moment between sisters.  Truth be told, I don't love kids birthday parties, but this one was pretty fun!

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
