It Just Got Better....(Part 2)

Since it was raining on the Saturday before Easter (crazy AZ weather) we went to my ward building and did our Easter Egg Hunt there in the primary room. This was before the big hunt...don't they all just look ready for action!





After "The Hunt" my parents paid for all the kids to go to Bounce U! It was a total blast as you can see. The kids had so much dang stinkin fun they didn't know what to do with themselves. I'll let you in on a little secret...the adults didn't have too crappy of a time either, grin. If you haven't been to Bounce U, you should know that they let the parents "watch" (play in my terms) their kids around al the bouncy stuff. You really do have just as much fun as the kids do. it's not that expensive and I am all about doing things cheap these days.



Jaime and I and our little baby girls.


Mom and I and our little baby girls...grin. Jersey wishes that my mom was her mom. Sometimes I really think that their relationship will come back to bit me in the booty. I can just imagine her saying..."I just can't talk to you right now, I need to talk with my granny...." Hmmm.....





I'm telling you...blast and a half!



Look it how happy Linz is...and Maddy too!



Mallory loves Ava (she is so sweet, how can you not) and she was so fabulous to hold her while I had my play time with Jersey.



Nathan loves to take pictures of me when I am SOOO not ready. This is the outcome of one of those moments. Lovely eh?



This is Jersey and too much fun. She was spent and so were Nathan and I. The whole day was such a freakin blast!!

It just got better from there with our fun Adult Date Night!

One Thing after Another....(Part one)

I swear, my life these last 3 weeks has literally been a roller coaster! I'll start with Easter weekend because it was way too much fun. My sister Jaime was in town and when she is town we all party like it's 1999 baby. I'll post a few pics of all the fun and amazing things we did while she was here:



















We went to Fountain Hills to see one of the biggest fountains in the United States. We had a blast as you can see.






















We then went on the Hole in the Rock Hike...which was very strenuous by the way. A whole .24 miles! It was fun and of course the kids enjoyed it. We ate lunch at the ramadas and let the kidlets play on the little playground. The best part of these two fun trips...they were FREE!




Jersey is very spoiled by everyone. Uncle Dane and Aunt Mal were swinging her up the mountain and she was laughing and giggling almost the whole way up.





Here is little miss {J} with her "My" . She is a total wack-o and thinks that my mom is her personal slave. Of course my mom also feeds into her every wish and demand so she isn't really helping the situation.




Me and my girls. Ava would be blissfully content if I just let her stay inthe bjorn ALL day long. She actually is much happier than she looks in this picture. {J} of course had to bring all her "stuff"...purse, baby, sunglasses, you know, all the essentials in life...grin.
I sweat Jaime is one of the prettiest gals I have ever see. She looks so cute in this pic with her and her little "lowgie".
This is Maddox, Lindsey's littlest. He looks like an angel but really he is a little stinker...grin.He and Jersey are little devils when they are together. Seriously, could he be any cuter?
Of course had to get one with the Gran and Pops of this crazy clan. My dad is holding baby Zoie and I just have to say that {J} would hardly let little {Z} out of her sight! She was majorly obsessed with her "baby". She seriously cried when they left, as well did I. But that is a story for later.

Jaime and {J} were also inseperable. Jersey loves here "mimi" so much and would just have to be by her all the time. They definitley have a bond.


I hardly ever get any pics with just Ava and I so I thought this one was especially cute because she was leaning her head on me. Gosh. I just love this little girl to pieces. Above is a pic in front of the "hole" in the Hole in the Rock Hike. Fitting huh! With all the kids we had we were lucky no one ended up at the bottom. Seriously.

Here is a pic of Dane and Mal (a.k.a Barbie and Ken...grin).

Then and a pic of Dane and Jersey. She just loves Uncle "Dean"!

Linz and Kell are camera ready at a moments notice.

There was this little pocket on the way up and these are all of our little kidlets. There are quite a few.

Jersey's 1st Haircut

Jersey had her first haircut a few months ago and let me tell you, it was an adventure. You have to realize that I am constantly doing hair at my house and {J} is always seeing me put capes on people and doing this and that to their hair and she sees them sit on this amazing black chair (just my salon chair). {J} has had a love for this chair since she could crawl. So when I finally decided that it was time for a haircut, I thought she would LOVE to be like all of my other clients. So, I got all my stuff out: Cutting shears, spray bottle, round brush...and the dreaded blow dryer (I was going to give her a cute bow-out). Little did I know that she would fa-reak at the site of that thing. Apparently she is deathly afraid of my blow dryer. So she had a fit and did not want to sit in my fabulous chair and was bawlin big ol' tears. However, my ever-so-patient husband calmed her down ( i put the blow-dryer up and outta site) but she didn't want to sit in the chair. Instead we have her on this little tea set table chair where I had to sqat down to cut her hair. Awwww, these are the moments you will miss when they are all grown up...grin.
Well, other than that, the haircut went fabulous. Her hair is still growing in so many places and in the back she had these three long tails, so I evened up the back. Then in her bang area, she has so many lengths that giving her bangs was a must. Overall, it looked super cute after we were done. As you can see, this little gal gives me a run for my money. She is a wack-job, but we love her just the same.

Side note...{B} took all the pictures...what a little photographer in the making.

WOW...OUCH

So I just went exercising and can I say "WOW...OUCH". My muscles are very angry with me because they thought we were through with the whole work-out thing and then I go and pull them out of retirement. Needless to say, I will be hurtin in the morning but it is worth it because I am going to lose these last 15 pounds of baby weight if it's the last thing I do.

LOVE MY LEAVITTS

This picture is purely out of luck because we had those lip-whistles and I wanted a pic of Nathan and I (of course) for the blog (grin). HE wanted nothing to do with me but I made him and {B} snapped the picture just before he could take it out of his mouth.

We actually had a very relaxed family Valentines Day. We ended up going to go get Mesa "FRO-YO" and I know what you all are thinking, "Frozen yogurt in the dead of winter (dead of winter to all us natives), are you in insane?" However, I thought it was a splendid idea because we were going to the park and the sun was shining so I thought we would be fine basking in the sun while eatin our yogurt. Little did i know that a gi-normous cloud would be covering dear old Mr. Sunshine and we would be freezing our booties off while contemplating warming up in our car with the heaters turned on FULL BLAST!! Was that a run-on sentence? Anyway, we really did have super fun time at the park...once Mr. Sun decided to come out, grin. This is actually one of the first times that we, the Leavitt Family, have all gone out...together. It's just been kinda hard because of our small little babies and our busy schedules. However, Nathan and I have decided though that we need a little more "family" time and a little less "busy" time. It's hard though because it is so easy to get caught up in all the "stuff" that we have to do. Gosh, I am using a ton of "quotation" marks today. Well, I hope all of you had a fabulous Valentines Day and gave lots of love and was able to receive lots of love.

Nathan is quite the photographer. Especially when he has such a beautiful subject...gotta love {B}'s smile.

I just LOVE Ava...such a sweet and and easy-going child.

Now...our little Jersey girl looks like a sweet little angel, but what you don't see is this.....



...our little monster! Just kidding, she really is an angel...she just really likes to be a little devil too. This was when she had had enough pictures and when we told her it was time to go. Obviously she was "not happy Bob...not happy" (guess what movie).



I saw these lip whistles at the party place and just had to partake. They make really annoying sounds and look utterly luscious, how could I resist?



Trying to get all us gals to smile with our whistles..yea good luck with that one Ash.


Me and my girls all sliding down the slide. I'm surprised we even got this picture. Not too easy trying to get the younger two to smile at the same time.


Nathan, {J} and {B} eating our deliciously cold frozen yogurt.


We also got the girls little skittle hearts...I gave Jersey a few of hers and then totally downed the rest of the bag in like 5 minutes flat. What can I say, i am an absolute sucker for candy and I need help. Anyone know of a good 12 step program for sugar-aholics??

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

When I grow up I wanna be... A ROCKER!!

Baylee has been totally rockin out lately and I must say that she is quite good. We got Rock Band 2 and the XBOX 360 game Lips for Christmas so needless to say we have all been jammin from time to time. Seriously though, {B} is really good. She does songs on medium and gets in the 90% and above. I've asked her what she wants to be when she grows up and she replies smiling and answering very shyly "A Rocker-Girl". Dang...she is so flippin cute!
Daddy, {B} and Jersey all jammin to our favorite Rock Band song "Thats What You Get". Love Nathan's expression...back off girls...he's ALL mine (grin).

For School Career Day {B} wanted to dress up as a "Rocker" so I said "Here we come American Idol 2017". Now all she need is a nose ring and tattoos and we are all set. I'm not kidding people, she is way good...amazing tone and pitch...I'm a little jelous...grin.

Angel Ava

Ava is my sweet heart, my angel, my little slice of heaven. She is such a breath of fresh air that when she smiles, you just can't help but smile back. I knew immediatley after she was born that this little one was going to be so easy going...just like her daddy. Ava is such a good baby and I am just so flippin happy that she is in our family.
