Fall Break—Utah



FALL BREAK

In October Ava's school had a week off for Fall Break, so we headed up to UTAH.  It's always fun to go see family... But of course we had a very BUSY week, trying to fit in everyone and everything into our trip.
So of the activities we got to do included....

•Lots of out door activities—kickball, basketball, park etc.
•My cousin Emily blessed her little girl— Lily May 
•Lunch with Alyse and Alysen and all of our kids, 6 kids under the age of 5... it was a little    crazy, but so fun seeing them all!
•Story Time at the Provo Library... for old time sake
•Vineyard Pumpkin patch with Family—a must go place every fall!
•Nate's Football Game, Gavin was in Heaven!
•Got to see Baby Mac!
•Tractor Ride at the Beesley's farm, So fun to get together with all the girls from High School!
•Took some Family Pictures, Thanks Brittany 
•Shopping
•Awesome dinner with the Hyde's.
•Hogle Zoo with the Hyde's

So happy we got to go to UTAH in the FALL!  Best time of the year! everything was amazing.

D-Backs Game with Papa Grande


For Papa Grande's Birthday he came down to AZ to visit and go to the D-Backs Game! They played San Francisco... we were pretty ticked they didn't pitch The Freak or The Beard!  Would of been so cool to watch them pitch!  Anyway it was an awesome game.  D-backs won!  It was so crazy to see how many fans were at the game.  Usually not so busy, but not that night!  Totally packed!

We loved going to the games this year!  They did so good!  We were really sad when they lost in the playoffs!



One of the kids favorites of course, is the kettle corn! 


Loved this moment, just not the picture.  It was fun walking behind them, cause they were dressed liked twins, with both kids on there shoulders, and talking about the game. Wish i could of gotten a better picture!

Anyway, Papa Grande hope you had a good birthday.  Cause we really enjoyed it!

BIG Surf Water Park


So before the weather started to cool down we took the kids to 
BIG SURF 
It's a Water Park that is right next to Ryan's work.  
Of course when we got there i realized my camera battery was dead.  So i only could get a few terrible pictures on my phone! 
Some of the highlights of the day. 
•There was hardly anyone there, I think because it was the end of the season and everyone is sick of swimming at that point.
•Ava loved going on Every Slide!  Which totally surprised us!! Except for the ones that go like straight down, she wasn't tall enough. 
•Instead of a wave pool like at 7 peaks, they have waves like at beach and we rented a boogie board. Ryan loved it, Ava did it once on Ryan's back, Gavin was so scared, and i would crash and eat it every time—Good times!
•Gavin hated everything about Big Surf, especially the waves, way too loud for the little one. 




Anyway we had a lot of Fun, very happy that Ava's friend Mylie got to come with us and so Excited that Ava loved it.
