April phone pics

It's nearly May 15th, this year is flying.  The weather is getting so much better.  Crisp mornings, warm days and crisp nights, my favorites!  I love May, just the start to a few amazing months.  Playing outside, long walks, ice cream and beach days.....
Here we go....Mya and her buddy Jojo.  Loving all this QT the girls and Jojo get at Marys.  I love that they're building such strong relationships with family.  There's nothing better!
The earrings, I can't!
Playing at Mary's one day.  LOL at Mya's hand peeping through.
Outside chalk time.
One morning, my girls giving me a pic I could stare at all day as I miss them.
Throwbacks of my bean, a day old and a chunker at that.  God I remember these first few days like they were yesterday.  I miss when she was this little. 
I can't with her faux hawk. 
*MELT*
Man night = 100 books before bedtime, cause the girls know Mommy will.
Morning snuggles, I love how they cuddle in their bed together.
Ava and Ash crack me up when they're together.  They're gonna be trouble one day.
Early birthday celebrations for the bean at Nona and Dewey's.  Cause why not?
Making wishes....
Now time to sing to Auntie Shell.
A birthday party for Mya's school friend, Ana Julia.
Followed up with some Thomas Sweets with my girls.
Hugs for next door chocolate, where the girl working gave them both free chocolate covered strawberries!
What I would give to just cuddle her for 5 minutes.
A quick grocery store run.
LOVE
It was Mya's birthday celebration at school on April 7th.  I had her parent/teacher conference so couldn't make it for the party before class.  Not really a party but the parents are allowed in for circle time.  Luckily I have an awesome aunt who watches them and helps out so much.  LOVE YOU and thanks for helping make her birthday even more special.  Don't know what I'd do without you.
Since it was parent/teacher conferences, Mrs Gliese (her teacher last year) was helping in the classroom.  Was so special that she was there that day, LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!
Since my conference was right at the end of school I stayed to take her back to Mary's.  I got to peek in for the end of class too!
In her birthday crown from school.
OMG throwback of my little butterball.
And now!  Time's have changed.  Where's all that chunk? 
Working on their bikes, lol!
Class time at Titi's.
Enjoying a beautiful day outside.
OMG look what we found at target.  Mya LOVED these, for a whole 4 days. 
Ash loved them for 5 minutes, lol!
Mya waited the next morning until we were just about to leave and she was dressed to take them out!  KILLED ME!
OMG Shirley Temple!
Another beautiful day, so pedi's outside of course.  I miss our old neighbors who would have been outside with us every time we were out there.  COME BACK!
Time to take those training wheels off.  Didn't last long, she got really nervous and definitely didn't realize how hard it truly is.  But it's ok, takes time.  By the end of the summer, she'll have it mastered!
big girl *tear*
Another day, more curls! 
A pic from Ryan, LOVE LOVE LOVE!
The white leggings are killing me. 
LOL!
forts at Titi's.
The girls came to visit me at work!  Too bad no one was here, it was Good Friday and literally like 1!
They still had fun running through the halls and going on the elevator.
Mya got a gap gift card for her birthday.  This kid LOVES shopping and loves to try stuff on, so she was on cloud 9!  Thanks Camille and Ang!!!
THIS FACE!
Seriously, this kid loves animals.
picnic time, how cool is Ash?
I can't!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
She wasn't having fun, AT ALL!
Beautiful day to be outside and enjoying the weather.
sissy love
She's on top of the world!
PASSED out at Mary's!
We hit up some circus right down the street from our house.  We had a whole crew with us too, it was cute.
Those cheeks though?!
The boys
Homemade cauliflower pizza crust pizza.  My side had cottage cheese, spinach and grilled chicken, the girls side had cheese.  I didn't squeeze out the cauliflower enough, so next time I'll have to make sure, but it was still good!
And of course, topped off with Thomas sweets, nothings better!  Worms hanging out of her mouth of course!
Damn Easter candy was 50% off, how can I stop myself???  Oh yea, I didn't!
And more choc covered strawberries, cause they're so damn good!
The way this kid can walk in heels is so impressive.  I wish I got a video of her singing and dancing in them too, it was epic.
lol
Uncle Michael is so stylin!
Mya's 5 year well visit didn't go exactly as planned.  Last year Mya was completely amazing, Mya didn't cry at all for her shots.  She even prepped us saying, I'm a big girl now, I'm not going to cry.  Not one tear, it was freaking amazing!  Even a few weeks after that appointment is when she asked to get her ears pierced, and not a tear there either, sat like a champ for those bad boys.  Well this year, she told us that she would be ok for the shots, but when bought up, she was a little iffy about it still.  The morning of she asked to bring her dr set just so she could check out Dr Booker too.  DEAL!  I thought this would help with some of the anxiousness of the shots.  We get to the appointment and I told her she had to get a needle, she just begged for no finger prick.  Nurse Kara came in, same routine, LOVE HER!  She checked out Mya, cracked her up.  She did an eye test, she did amazing.  Mya was also so excited to pee in a cup (it's the little things in life!).  It was time for the finger prick and I swear the mood changed faster than I could have imagined.  She started crying, begging not to get it.  I had to hold her finger for that, it was awful.  It took her a while to regain her composure.  Even than, she was still on edge.  Dr Booker started asking her about her dr set.  She pulled it out and he started checking out everything in there.  He literally played with Mya and Ash and that dr set for a solid 10 minutes.  It was the sweetest thing ever.  I couldn't love her Dr more, he's such a sweet man and truly cares about his patients.  It totally calmed her down.  Until of course the other shot, he had to come back in to hold her since Ryan wasn't there to help me. 
Mya has a journal at school.  This is one of the pages in it of our family.  Apparently the 2 (extra) kids in there are Mya and Ash when they were little.  Freaking love this kid.  She even drew handbags on her and I.  Ash has blue hair and maracas and Ry has a faux hauk and glasses.   This kid KILLS me! 
Happy May my friends!  SUMMER HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!
