Children's Discovery Museum

Last week we were up in Salt Lake house sitting for a Family in Ryan's parents ward. And one of the days we went to the Children's Discovery Museum. It was a pretty neat place, I think we went on the worst day possible cause there were SO many people! We went on a Saturday during the winter! When everyone is trying to find something to do inside. But Ava still had Fun. I think I was just worried the whole time, making sure I didn't lose any of the 5 children we had.

Here are some pictures of the fun things they can Discover.

Ava's puppet isn't doing too good.

She loved the Helicopter. She just ran in and sat next to some random kids there and wouldn't come out.

Anchor Women

Ava was at this water thing for about two minutes. We turned around and she was gone. That was the second time she did that and both times she was in this little house that had a little kitchen.

So I had to throw this picture in... She is such a cute Frog! She kept looking at her hands because they were stuck in the costume. She didn't like it much but still kept it on.

Ryan's BirTHday

Last week was Ryan's 28th Birthday.

We had kind of a Crazy week so we celebrated it on 3 different nights. First we went to Dinner up at Sundance with Ryan's family. Then me Ryan and Ava went to Tepankai Steak House for Dinner and then had Brownies, Ice Cream and Rootbeer Floats at my Parents house. And on his real Birthday we went and saw Valkyrie and had Dinner at Hires.

Happy Birthday Ryan! Hope you had a Great 3 days!
We Love You!

We had a fun night at dinner. Ava calls her "chop sticks" "tetor totters" and we have no idea where she got that name. At dinner they prepare the food in front of you and our guy had a ketchup bottle that had a string in it. He asked her if she wanted some and she said yes so he squoze the string at her. The place was silent and after he left Ava says loudly, "That ketchup bottle is crazy". There was a family of 6 sitting by us and they all started laughing. Gotta love the comments 3 year olds say.

HELP!

HELP!

I need Help! We have to Move, the Place were in now is WAY to small and we have a Baby coming in 2 months and we've been looking everywhere and it's Hard... I am So stressed out! Finding a place that we like, that is in a good area and that is in our Price range just seems to not exist!

So Please if you know of any places that are for Rent and have:
-3 Bedrooms
-2 Bathrooms
-No more then a $1,000 a month
-In the Utah Valley area
-Either New or Nice
(we feel like we've been living in the slums long enough we need something we like)

Lets just say I really need Help... cause when I even start to thinking about it I Cry... Seriously Cry! Even ask Ryan. (remember I am 7 months Pregnant, so I do have some what of an excuse for my emotions)

New Years Eve and Christmas Break

For New Years Eve we went to my Aunts House in Spanish Fork. We ate Good food, Played Games and Watched all the New Years Eve Specials on TV. Too bad Ava didn't last Long. She fell asleep in Ryan's arms at 10:00. But she did get to enjoy the New York City count down.

And yes, I do look like a Fat Lard!

Last week my Grandpa brought his four wheeler over to my Aunt Linda's house for the kids to go Sledding. They had so much Fun. Even Audrey, Ava's little friend got to come. They did so good, they wanted to stay outside forever!

My Grandpa and Jake (my cousin that lives in Vegas)

The Girls just wanted to eat the snow the whole time.

Ava even went by herself... it was SO funny watching her just bounce around. Lets just say i was laughing so hard I peed my Pants. Which isn't such a rare thing right now. So far I'm up to having an accident a day. It's SO bad. The Baby just chills on my Bladder so whenever I laugh I can't hold it.

So the Boys new Hobby these days is playing with there Air Soft Guns. They get pretty intense. They set up a course in my Aunts Yard and they play for Hours.

We had such a Fun Christmas Break! Spending time with Family and Friends is our Favorite!

ChrisTmas at the Hydes

This Christmas we were with Ryan family. It was nice to be with everyone and Ava loved spending time with Olivia and London. I have to say Christmas is SO much better with kids, and this year with Ava was so much FUN. She is at the most perfect age. Just seeing her face when she saw her presents and every moment before Christmas was so much Fun. I can't wait for next Christmas.

Ava has been wanting a little kitchen for so long and she finally got one.

And yes she got another dress-up

The Girls loved playing in the snow, too bad it is so much work... just getting them dressed wore me out. One of the days we were up there Ryan and Eric took the them sledding. And after they were done they went to Hires for ICE CREAM they said they got so HOT. Hauling the girls and the sleds up the hill would get pretty tiring.

On Saturday Braden (Rachel's Boyfriend) invited the boys to go Snowmobiling up by the Canyons and they said that there was a lot of powder and perfect conditions for snowmobiling (I forgot to give Ryan my camera so there are no pictures, sorry)

Seeing the light up at Temple Square.

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone already... does the naughty and nice list work all year long? I guess we will see how long we can use it.
