Averie just completed her first round of swim lessons. We were a bit nervous that she would be scared, and did not expect much. Come to find out, Averie is a fish, she wants to go first EVERY time, and had a blast the whole time. And she does pretty well with going underwater for a few seconds, and asks to be dunked over and over. Here are a few clips of her at her last lesson.

Fun at Southlands
Okay, so I am surprised I was even able to log into my blog, it has been so long since I posted (Easter apparantly) but I thought I would share these two cute video clips of the kiddos enjoying the fountains at Southlands. I think I have the cutest kids in the world.

Here are some Easter pictures. We had a good holiday, as we expected we would. Festivities started out a few days before when Averie dyed some Easter eggs with daddy.
On the Saturday before Easter, we went to a community Easter egg hunt and Averie and Tyler got to meet the Easter bunny, and made out like bandits!
On Saturday night, we read the Easter story to Averie, and then she promptly took her little kids' Bible and regurgitated the story back to us, Averie style. It was amazing how she simplified the story of Easter but left the essentials, that Jesus hurt, died, and then came back and was not dead anymore, and everyone was happy.
On Sunday morning we had our own Easter egg hunt. It seems the Easter bunny got our colored eggs and left them all over the yard, and then left some other goodies as well.
After church, our neighbors hid eggs for all the little kids in the neighborhood in the front yards of all our houses, and the kids did yet another hunt. (Took some work to explain that egg hunts really are not the focus of Easter) We then had a pot-luck dinner in the front yard with many of the neighbors, complete with ham, mashed potatoes, asparagus, sweet potatoes, butter braid, and some cocktails. :) We all got sunburned cheeks and had a good time.

Tyler's First Haircut
Ready to see a mini-Doug? Here are some pictures of Tyler's first haircut! Too cute! I think it makes him look like a one year old finally!
Averie's birthday
Averie had a great 3rd birthday! On the night of her birthday, we took her out for ice cream at Chick Fil-A, and then she opened up her presents from family. Then, on the following Saturday, she had a party with some friends over at our house. They made little cute door hangers, acted out the Going On A Bear Hunt Book, did a go fish game with prizes (Doug was behind the curtain pinning the prizes on the hook) and then cake and presents of course. Here are some pictures of the festivities!
