Spring Break

I love how you can see Ava showing everyone her "Golden Tooth"

A couple of weeks ago was Our
Spring Break.
So we decided to go up to Park City to get away from all our Packing and Moving Craziness.
It was very Nice to go relax, and spend time with my family.

On our way back we went up with the Haws at to The Living Planet Aquarium.

Poor G... he was not doing so good! He had another ear infection and his eyes were so bad.

We were excited to see the New Penguin Encounter
The Penguins were so cool... they were very active. Not like the ones at the Zoo that just sit by the door.

Oh yes— it was my Dad's Birthday as well.

Happy Birthday Dad!

We had a Great weekend!
Looking at all these Pictures... is making me Home Sick!

Dentist

So before we left for AZ we had a list of things we wanted... well needed to do.
On the list
Take the kids to the Dentist

Of course my kids don't care about going... Ava was actually excited about it.

Until she was told that she had 4 Cavities and had to get a baby Root Canal (Pulpotomy).

When we got there they told Ava that they were going to put soap in her mouth and that it would sting a little. Well that was a dirty trick because they actually put a needle in both cheeks. She was not happy about that at all. Then her mouth went NUMB and she she thought something was on her lip so she kept grabbing at it.

After all this pain Ryan asked the dental assistant to give her some gas and that's when she started to enjoy the dentist—finally. She was so brave and we are so proud of her. BTW she hates her "Golden" tooth (it's really silver).

The News

Were Moving!
To... Mesa Arizona...
Next Week!

This is our House

This is our Backyard

And we're going to Need a whole lot of these!

Ryan got word of the Job Last week, we figured out our house this week (well Amy figured out our house!) and were leaving this Friday. It has been a very Stressful, Crazy and Emotional week. We were on the Fence about going (well I was on the Fence) But we are going and taking this little adventure with our Family.
The Best thing about Moving to Arizona is that we will be living By Amy and Eric... We're even in the same Ward!

Well we will update more once we get there
Wish us luck this week... We have a whole lot of Organizing, Packing and Crying to do!

Arizona here we come!
120% and all!... Terrible timing moving there right when the weather is getting good here and terrible there!

OK, this is Ryan. I have to add a little to Jamie's Doom and Gloom post—we're not dying. First of all the weather is not that bad and we are excited to be able to go outside. Thankfully for me the weather here in Utah has been terrible the last few weeks making it easier to leave.

We look forward to swimming, bar-b-ques, and golf (I'm going to have to up my game). We are excited to try something new and I hope the crying is over because I personally couldn't be more excited.

Easter 2010

Easter 2010
We had a very good Easter.
Filled with lots of Egg Dying, Candy and we even made these Cute Little Chicks... well I did! (I'm so mad I forgot to take pictures of them.)
We had a very Yummy Breakfast with my family, Ryan cooked Egg McMuffins and German Pancakes.
Then two Easter Dinners
First at my Grandma Rhineer's and then at the Hyde's.
Lets just say we were very Full at the end of the day!

Ava when she got home from her Pre-School Easter Party.

What we woke up to on Easter Morning!

The Easter Bunny knew exactly what Ava wanted... Cause Ryan had to call the Easter bunny while we were at the Mall the week before when Ava had a Complete melt down inside Build-a-bear. He Told the Easter Bunny on the phone what Ava wanted and where to get it.
It worked great!

The only thing Gavin was interested in...
His little Mickey Mouse Book
and
the Easter Eggs... because they look like Balls.

See the two pink eggs—one by his head and the other by his foot. He threw those while Ryan took a picture.

Easter Dinner at Grandma's

Easter Egg hunt at Mimi's and Papa's, after a very good dinner.
Inside and with no other kids... kind of a boring Easter Egg hunt!
But it's not our fault there was more snow outside then there was at Christmas.

Happy Easter
