Hottub in December

We have been enjoying the hot tub after Ava goes to bed and after dinner some nights. Aiden loves it. He has on my robe to stay warm on the way out. I am sure he will appreciate this picture of him in a pink robe when he gets much older. He loves swimming around in the hot tub .

Ava Smiling and Cooing

Just a few random shots showing off Ava's jelly rolls. She is still very chubby. We were changing her outfit here.

The Guys Racing Around..........

Scott and Aiden are having fun here racing in the dumptrucks. Scott is getting a workout.

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.
