All five kids!

Alright. I've been slacking. These past few weeks have been so crazy! Randi and Bart went to Arizona last week and are in Florida right now and we've been watching the kids. It get's kind of chaotic around here! I am so grateful that Ava is a good baby because it would actually be hard if she wasn't so sweet. (: I love these kids and they are super helpful so we enjoy watching them. New Years was good, all the kids except Bartel fell asleep so only three of us actually celebrated the New Year haha. As far as the soda thing goes, Dakota and I haven't had any soda! Randi, we're not so sure about. We've all been drinking more water and trying to eat healthier. Dakota has been working so hard and I'm so proud of him! My favorite part of the day is when I can hear him walk upstairs and I wait for him to open the door. He always has the biggest smile on his face. I love it when our little family is all together. (: Ava has been sleeping through the night more often and she has started cooing. She smiles so much, and has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. She is also starting to outgrow most of her newborn stuff so we gotta ship the rest of her clothes out pronto! She seems to grow up more and more everyday! Dakota and I couldn't be more happy with where we are right now, and Ava just makes everything a million times better. I'll try to blog more often I promise!
