Joy riding her tricycle

I was so excited the other day when Joy started riding her tricycle. Now she can ride her bike in the front yard with the other kids. I didn't foresee one major problem though. Once she got going she didn't want to stop or turn around. She kept going and going and when I finally caught up with her to turn her around, she had a major tantrum. Luckily Daddy saved the day when he got home by showing her that she had to turn around often to stay close to home. She still won't do it on her own, but she'll let us turn her around now without a big fit. I took these pictures of her the other day, she's so cute! Have a great weekend!

 

 

Joy Comedy

When Mark was taking Joy into Nana's house this morning, she waved at a dead worm on the driveway and said, "Hi, snake!" Mark said, "Actually, that's a worm." She came back with, "Actually, it's a snake. Actually, its a big snake."

We love our sweet Joy. Have a great week!

Easter!

Spring is springing and Easter is here. We had fun yesterday on Easter Bunny Day. We hunted for treats in the morning and Joy thought that was really fun. She's old enough to really enjoy holidays now, and it's great to see it through her eyes for the first time. Later in the day, Daddy and Joy ran errands while Grace, BethAnne and I went to a movie. It's fun to have outings with my big girls.

Today, the girls wore their new spring dresses to church. I took pictures after Church. The girls are all in pretty serious need of a haircut, but other than that, I think they're pretty cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you all are having a great weekend. We're having the Rogers over for Easter dinner tonight, which reminds me of a funny thing Grace said in the car yesterday. She said, "when I have a family, will it be the Grace Family?" I said, "no, it will depend on what your husband's last name is." Then she said, "But your name is Roger and we're the Rogers family." I then proceeded to tell her that my name is Aubrey and I explained how it all worked, but I thought that was really funny.

Then another funny thing happened at church today. We sat on the front row because those were the only soft seats left when we got there. Things went pretty well until Joy said "Knock, knock" (she likes to tell Knock, Knock jokes). I whispered that it wasn't time for jokes and then she proceeded to keep saying "Knock, knock" louder and louder until she yelled "KNOCK, KNOCK!!!" I decided at that point that I better follow along, and then she quieted down. In better news, Joy is enjoying nursery now which is a huge blessing. We were worried that we'd be taking her to our meetings until she was a teenager.

Everything else is going pretty well. I'm pretty tired and sore lately, but I'm okay. I'll be 16 weeks on Friday and I'll start having ultrasounds every other week at that point to make sure everything is okay. It will be great to see the baby next week and it will be fun to find out if we're having a boy or girl sometime in the next month. We'll keep you posted. Have a great week!

Love,
Aubrey
