Yes...Im 25!

Yes… I am 25 years old!

Don't you LOVE the card Ryan and Ava made for me!
I guess Ava thought we all needed Goggles!

We Celebrated with a Trip to the Doctors, Shopping, Dinner with Family and a Movie with Ryan... Without Kids! (thanks mom and dad)

My favorite Gift…
A homemade Bracelet from my Cute little Ava!

We saw Avatar in 3D— So good! We loved it! I was a little sceptical about seeing it, thought it would be a lot of War Fighting between Blue People and 2 1/2 hours is a really long time! But it was amazing and I actually liked the story... and the Love between the Blue people!
If you haven't seen it yet... I definitely recommend you go see it while it's still in 3D! It's worth the Experience.

Little goopy eyed Gavin... lets just say he was not very kind to me on my Birthday! My Birthday started with Gavin up all night—Crying and Throwing-up. I had to change his clothes and Bed numerous times! It was marvelous! So in the Morning we headed to see Dr. Melissa, turns out he had 2 ear infections and pneumonia (which was causing the Vomiting) Not to mention he is Teething and has had a Stupid cold for 2 weeks! But once he got his antibiotics and started his breathing Treatments he was back to normal!

So thanks Gavin for making my Birthday so Special
I definitely liked Ava's present Better!

Thanks Everyone for making my 25th Birthday So much Fun!
Besides Gavin you failed!

Park City • Skiing 2010

On Friday the 12th we took Ava up to
Park City to go Skiing...
(Also the day of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, just trying to get into the Olympic Spirit)
My Family all have passes at Park City so we went up to join them.

It always takes Ava a few minutes to like it again. It usually starts out with Crying—cause she can't walk in the Ski Boots. Then she is Cold and then She is scared. But after a few minutes and a few bribes she's all good.

I loved how Ryan got her up the hill!

Jack and Nate... I can't believe how good they are, way better then I've ever been!

Papa Giving her a Pep talk.

A tired little girl after an Hour and half of Skiing.
Ryan and my Dad took her on the lift and she went the down the hill by herself a lot of the way.
It was Amazing.

The Bribe... Hot Chocolate

Trying to get her used to the Ski boots

Going Down the Mountain... So good!

Next time I want to Ski with her... its been awhile sense I've put on Skis!

Cute Kids!

We love bath time in our Family!
• It's a Great way to Entertain them.
• They play So good together!
• and they last in there Forever!

Disneyland • 2010

Alice, The Queen of Hearts
and Mad Hatter

The beginning of February Me, Ryan, Ava and Nate went down to California to go to
DISNEYLAND!
Our Good Friends The Tibbitts moved down there about 8 months ago... And we have been wanting to go down and see them and go to Disneyland forever. We decided to dis-invite Gavin and instead bring Nate.

Be Prepared... Lots of Pictures...
Between mine and Sarah's, there was just too many to choose from.

Toontown

Mickey's House

Minni's House

Nemo Ride

Autopia

Pixie Hallow
Tinker Bell

Silvermist
(Ava's favorite, don't ask me why I thought it would be Princess Tiana)

Little Audrey was so cute... Every Character we saw she would just get Cozy with them!

The Fairy Godmother
As we were running towards her Ava was yelling "Catch that Fairy Godmother"
And yes we did Run, She was walking (waddling) away from us and we couldn't miss her!

Tigger

Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue

Woody and Jesse

Princess Tiana
She was definitely on Top of our 'Must see List'

Ava loves "poofy" dresses so she loved this one.

Ariel

Belle
It was a little Chili outside so the Princesses had little jackets on, And Ava did NOT like that!

Jasmin
Ava's other Favorite!
(a little disappointed that she wears pants and not a "poofy" dress)

We were very bummed we didn't see Mulan or Pocahontas!
I guess well have to go back... Soon!

I love the Pictures Sarah took on the Tea Cups.

I didn't go because they make me sick.

Last minute we decided to go on
Splash Mountain
And somehow or another I got in the Front...
I was the only one who got Wet... not a little Wet but Totally Wet!
No pictures of my hair after the ride, they were burned.

Ava Dancing in the ca-Parade...
Celebrate! A Street Party

Could you tell Ava Loves the Characters! They are her Favorite part of Disneyland. This time we bought an Autograph book, she carried that around all day, searching for Characters! Since we've been home she looks at it at least 10 times a day!

The Next day we went to
California Adventure
And it Totally Rained the whole time!
The only good thing was that California Adventures has Pretty much everything indoors, so it wasn't too bad! We still got to do everything we wanted.
And how sweet is this little contraption for the stroller. Do you see how her head fits perfectly in the poncho and the handles come out. Ryan is a Genius! (Ryan added that)

The Tibbitts standing in Line for the
Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage.
Look how cute little Alex is... I have to mention how good he was! He was amazing... 2 days at Disneyland in a stroller! There is no way Gavin would have lasted!

When we went to see
Turtle Talk with Crush
we saw Goofy, Minni and Pluto

When we went and talked with Crush you get to ask him questions. Ava didn't get to ask hers so we went to talk to Crushes helper guy who knows Crush really well.
Her question: "What's Crushes favorite princess?"
Answer: Ariel of Course

Goofy

Pluto

Ava by her Favorite Movie...
UP!

We Saw the
Aladdin Show...
loved it!

Some may think that we are bad Parents, but yes we took Ava on the
Tower of Terror
(the picture above is Ryan talking Ava through what was going to happen)

She actually did really good, she hated it, and said the scariest part is when they have you to
"say goodbye to the real world."

Toy Story Mania!
Definitely one of our Favorites!

On our way out we stopped by the
Lego Store
and

ESPN Zone

Oh yeah did you notice that me and Nate have the same Rain Coats on! We look like Twins!
We were not prepared for the Rain so before we headed to the Park we had to stop at Target for some rain Coats and Ponchos. Ava got a Cute one, Nate got a cute Boy one but they had No Girl rain Coats so I ended up getting the Biggest size in the Little Boys section... whatever it worked!

(Don't know why I look Pregnant... Cause I'm definitely NOT!)

By the time we left this is what all the Kids looked like.

We had an amazing, Fun and Exhausting time!
We are so lucky to have such kind, Fun and Generous friends to go visit! We love the Tibbitts and miss having them live so close... I guess we'll just have to move to California to live by them and Disneyland!

We already miss the Tibbitts and Disneyland... when can we go back?
