Bilyeu Bloopers

This is a new edition to our blog that i am starting called Bilyeu Bloopers. I am sure each of you has many funny stories that have occurred while you are on your adventure in parenthood. It is definitely an adventure, never sure where it will take you. Thought some of my stories might bring a smile or laugh to your days every now and again.

Today was like no other. I was off to the grocery store when of course Aiden, who did not want to eat breakfast earlier decides he is hungry when we are going out the door. So i gather up a little Tupperware bowl full of dry cereal. Out in the car i am buckling him in and i set his little bowl on top of the car. Only to have it blown off onto my head- raining cereal onto my head . Lovely huh? Next i am driving to the end of our street and notice that i have forgotten that my trunk was still open, since i had gotten something out of it before we took off. So i had to jump out and shut it. My neighbors must think i'm a real wacko.. haha. As we finished our shopping trip, the guy at the store was loading all the groceries into my trunk, By this time Aiden was full of energy and tired of sitting in the cart at the store and was wiggling all around while i am trying to buckle him in. Ava was also getting hungry and had started to cry as i snapped her car seat into place. I thanked the guy and he then told me that i had "better head straight home and make no stops on the way". I'm not sure if it was because it was so cold and windy out today, or if he thought i had my hands full with these 2 kids under the age of 2. I told him not to worry there would be no other stops for this bunch. LOL...

Ava's First Christmas Party

We took the kids to the Carmax Christmas Party tonight. Everyone thought Ava was a doll. I dressed her up in this cute red dress and this adorable headband. Aiden had fun playing in the kids playroom with all the toys and other kids. Lots of good food and desserts too. They had nametags for everybody- even the kids.

More Holiday photos

You'll notice that there are many decorations scattered on the front table. We figured it was a good way to decorate with them instead of putting them on the tree where Aiden could reach them.

Decorating for the Holidays

We put our tree up last week and Aiden had great fun helping out. You'll notice alot of ornaments are missing from the bottum of the tree. Aiden like taking them off and putting them back on. =)

Trying to Roll Over.. With Help

Ava is enjoying some floor time. Aiden likes to join in and help her out. He shows her how to clap her hands and to roll over. She is getting very big. She had her 8 week checkup and shots and now weighs 11pounds 1 ounce and is 23 inches long. I tried to get her to smile in the video , but no luck.

Sleepytime.. Time for bonding with Dad..

Scott is enjoying snuggling up to little Ava. Some while asleep and some while she is wide awke. Can you see her very blue eyes here? I don't know if you can see in the pictures, but all her hair is falling out. She looks funny. I am sure she will have luscious blonde locks to replace the lost hair soon.

Ava's Birth Quilt

This quilt was made by my Supervisor Roberta at work for Ava . I thought it was so special. They did Ava's footprints right on it after she was born, then wrote all her birth information on it and then had everybody from work sign it at the bottom. She hand quilted this . This is the nicest gift i have ever received. Isn't it beautiful??
