Happy Easter

We had a great but exhausting Easter. Abby reminds me so much of myself when I was younger. She was up at 6:30 jumping up and down so excited that the Easter Bunny came. We had to make her wait an hour before Blake would wake up. Then they got to look in their baskets do their first egg hunt of the day (followed by 3 more!!). After all that Ava decided to wake up and peek into her first Easter basket. Then we went to the Lee's house for a brunch which was so yummy followed by the 2nd egg hunt and wonderful Easter baskets from the grandma Susie and Grandpa Kevin!!! Moved on to papa and gamma's house were the kids were spoiled some more with their 3rd Easter basket and 3rd egg hunt!! Then to round out the day we went to the park for the Rooney Easter were we had lunch and the kids did their 4th and final egg hunt. Can I say we have enough candy to last us until next year. We are so blessed to have so many family and friends to share the holidays with. Can't imagine a holiday without all of them. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful day!!

My New Adventure

Well, this weekend I decided to take on a new craft adventure because I just don't have enough to do!! My sister and I made tutu's for our girls. At first, I thought no way will I be able to make them but it was actually quite easy and fun. They actually turned out pretty cute and I am making more as we speak. Abby loves them and think she is a ballerina and has been dancing around the house ever since.

Bath Time

Tonight I put Ava in the bath and Blake came in and said can I take a bath with Ava? My first thought was are you crazy because my kids have not taken a bath in a couple of years together because it takes twice as long and twice as much water because half ends up on the floor. But, I thought what the heck and let him get in. Then Abby comes in and wants to join them so I could not say no. Needless, to say they all three got a bath together and I had to capture the moment so I could blackmail them in the future!! Too cute and actually all the water stayed in the tub this time!!

Our Poor little Ava

I swear our little Ava has had her share of issues since she made her debut just nine months ago. She has had seven ear infections, febrile seizures and urinary tract infections. And I guess she thought this evening she wanted to take another trip to Phoenix Children's Urgent Care. When I got there I was for sure it was another ear infection because she has been so fussy the last couple of days and running a fever. But, much to my surprise they were clear. So I was ready to walk out of the door when I had this weird feeling there was something wrong so I asked the doctor to check her urine. I hate doing this to her because they have to cath her and I know it is painful. Sure enough she has another UTI. Poor baby I can't believe it and what scares me the most is last time she got one she started having seizures. So they loaded her up on antibiotics and pain meds and sent us home. So, tomorrow I have to schedule her two tests to be done at Phoenix Children's to check her kidneys and her urine flow. They are concerned because infants should not get UTI's unless there is a problem with her "plumbing". Please pray for her that nothing serious is wrong and she does not have another seizure.
