Training for Black Friday

Notice the lack of orange circle around the Corned Beef or Batteries?

This is what our Wednesday's look like.
Bette up bright and early, scouring the ads for everything her little heart desires.

Typical

Who says Children these days are lazy???
I find Ava's desire to watch "UP" on the computer, while watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on my iPhone quite intriguing actually...

Primrose

So in addition to Ava's "tippy-toe" skills, and "talking back" skills...we now get to add "drawing on my face with a marker" skills to her resume. I'm thinking of hiring her to do my make-up for me every morning before I get out of bed. Maybe my best idea yet!!

I know how you feel girl...

...I'm not a fan of the snow either!

The Gathering of the Esquerra's '09

Robert and Jennifer sure know how to rock out a fabulous Family Reunion! I love seeing the sweet Esquerra's that roll on into town every once in a while! BEST. FAMILY. EVER!
We began the festivities with an awesome trip to the temple to do some family names...so precious! Breakfast at Oma's house along with some killer tie-dyingness followed by a day of fun games and just enjoying the fam!
So sorry that it's taken so long to get these pictures up...I'm trying to catch up on this blog...promise!

Thanks Esquerra Family...you're the best and we love you!

Ava's baby

You would think that a house with 4 girls would have baby dolls strewn about all over the place. Wouldn't you???
Well not the case here. At least not until little miss Ava came along with her tender little heart and obsessive personality. Her baby doll, who's name is yet to be determined, goes with her at all times. And if she doesn't go with her, we are in big trouble.
Her birthday is at the end of the month and it is taking every ounce of strength that I have to not cave and give her the new baby doll set with the stroller, swing and bed, that I bought last week, right NOW! I can't wait! And maybe I won't wait...she doesn't know that she's supposed to get something for her birthday right? We'll see how the next couple of weeks go...

i love you
