My NEW LiCenCe PlaTe!

So this is the Licence Plate they sent me... couldn't they have given me anything better!
Ava didn't understand why I was taking a picture of our car so she just jumped in the picture. (it does make the picture better though!)

It'a a BOY!!

So we went today to our ultrasound and found out we are having a BOY! I was so surprised I really thought we were having a girl. And apparently so did Ava cause when the Nurse told us Ava had a complete melt down. She was Crying and yelling "NO! I want a Girl Baby!" She cried for a good 5 minutes while we were doing the ultrasound and even ran to the door screaming "NO I want a Girl!" she was almost out the door! Ryan had to Grab her, the only way Ryan got her to stop crying was by telling her that the boy baby could be her Prince. And that we would buy him a Prince costume. Then she was ok with it. So everything looked good with the baby and I am actually measuring farther along, only by like a week but still. They were worried about one of his Kidneys it had a little too much Fluid in one. So they want to keep an eye on it. And do some more ultrasounds and if it gets worse they want me to go to a high risk OB. I don't know too much more, It kinda worries me... you know just the unknown. But we are So excited for the Baby to "Pop out" as Ava says and just know that he is Healthy.

JumPing in the LeaVes!

If you have ever been to my Parents house or have even drove by you know that my parents get a lot of leaves! Pretty much all the yard front and back is covered with trees. So when fall comes there are A LOT of leaves to pick up. Well before it got really cold, and before it snowed we all went over to help... and have a little fun
jumping in the leaves.

So this Halloween (as you can see) Ava was Ariel. She loved her costume SO much, especially the Wig! She kept telling me she wants to have Long hair like Ariel... how sad! This Halloween we were watching Nate (he was a Gangster for Halloween) while my family went to St. George for the weekend to watch Seth play Football. In the afternoon we went to Nate's school for there Halloween Parade. Then once Ryan got home from work we all went to Brickoven for dinner (side note... Halloween Night 5 years ago was the first night me and Ryan hung out. We were both working at Brickoven and had to work Halloween night) then off to Trick-or-Treat. It was so nice this year having good weather. I remember the night that Ryan and I hung out there was so much snow on our cars. Boooo. We were out for SO long. Ava would not be done until her bucket was filled all the way to the top, she kept telling us. Finally we went to my Grandpa's house and no one goes down the street he lives on. So he had a lot of extra candy that we used to fill Ava's bucket with. I don't know how she did it cause she was not feeling good at all. She had, well still has this nasty cough (she calls it coughings). But we Loved Halloween, and Ava asks every-night if we can go trick-or-treating again. This morning when she woke up the first thing she asked Ryan was why Halloween couldn't be every day. Wouldn't that be nice?
