Catch up!!

Having a 2nd child in the house has put me behind in my blogging...so here is our June so far:)

My girls


4 weeks old


Since I'm breastfeeding, it is rare anyone gets a chance to feed Ava. Although preparing to go back to work and going to an upcoming wedding has given others a chance to feed her the "boob juice" through a bottle. Daddy's in love!!

Introducing Ava Marie Walton...

Two weeks today, Lil Miss Ava was born on May 11th, 2010. She weighed 7 lbs. 2.2 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. Life with 2 children has been chaotic and exciting all at once!!

I also want to apologize to Miss Katy - she now has to share her blog with her sister Ava. In an instant, her world has been turned upside down and she is no longer the center of attention like she is accustomed to:( In the eyes of a 3 year old - I know that has to be hard.

On the bright side, she will have a best friend for life and someone she can confide in and she doesn't even now it yet. She is a lucky girl to have a sister to share her life with and I can tell already she is going to be a great big sister. Katy is very helpful not only to me and Todd, but whenever Miss Ava is crying or unhappy she is there to console her and make her feel better. Katy likes to sing to her and help in pretty much anything we do for Ava. Katy - we love you very much!!














This was a gift that Ava gave to Katy...it was a newborn babydoll with a car seat. Mommy and Katy both got to come home with new little babies!

A beautiful Sunday!

My parents have an awesome Japanese Cherry tree on the side of their house. Last weekend, the wind was blowing so hard, it was snowing flowers. Papa suggested we should go play in it...it was so much fun!

Rain, rain, go away...or just play in it!!

Friday was gloomy around here, but the rain held off and it was decently warm. We had a surprise visit from Grandma & Grandpa Ruiz from Toledo and so the day turned out to be great!! We even got out to play and get some energy out of my crazy lil girl!





Saturday was another story...it sprinkled and rained on and off throughout the day, but that didn't stop Katy and Grandma Metzger. They played in the rain anyway with their umbrellas.

Gone Fishing...

About a week ago, Daddy took Katy fishing at a pond in our neighborhood. They dressed in their camoflauge and headed out on a beautiful Saturday!

Easter Afternoon

After Easter mass, we headed to Grandma and Papa's house for lunch and family time. Katy got 2 more Easter baskets and was basically spoiled by everyone!! It was a great afternoon.

She was super excited to get Mary Poppins! I forgot what a great movie it is!!

  

She got nail polish for Easter and Daddy gave Katy a mani and pedi after lunch.

Easter Morning

Easter morning started off with Daddy cooking the girls breakfast...eggs, pancakes (Katy's favorite) and bacon. Then is was time for a bath because as usual Katy got syrup in her hair. Once she got her "twirly" dress on and it was time to hunt for her Easter basket from the Easter bunny.

She decided the best way to get to all of her loot was to dump the entire basket...and it was a mess but effective!

Time to head to church.
