Ava's First Time Skiing!

OK where do I even start with this. Monday (the 16th... my birthday) we took Ava up to Deer Valley to go Skiing for the first time. We got there before lunch and we decided to take her down a few runs before we ate, and lets just say it wasn't a good idea. She was not liking it at all she was crying, the Magic Carpet wasn't working, it was snowing and very windy. So we decided it was time for Lunch. But then after lunch it was a whole new story. She was Happy, the Sun came out and she was Loving every minute of it. We were so proud of our little powder puff. Poor girl though she couldn't move or walk with all her gear on. But she looked so cute though.

Ryan and Ava getting on the lift for the first time and lets just say it was a little scary.

See that little hand up. Yeah that's here trying to wave to me. Just trying to move.

This was my favorite part of skiing... Lunch!

Ava is trying to do bunny ears.

Ava loved the Magic Carpet, she didn't want to be Jasmine though.

Is that not the cutest little skier on the mountain you've ever seen?

We are so proud Ava for skiing at 3 years old. Papa Greg gets most the credit for getting her to go down the mountain by herself. We don't know how he did it, cause she would not do it for me and Ryan but then after Lunch Papa Greg took her without me and Ryan, and the next thing we knew she was going down the Hill all by herself.

Tumbling Class

Last month me and Ava did a Mom and Tot Tumbling Class. Ava loved it, everyday was like her first day. She was always so excited about going and always had a smile from ear to ear the whole time we were there.

Ava and her little buddy Audrey Tibbitts... Ava always calls her by her full name or will just call her Tibbitts for short. (Audrey was in our old ward and in there nursery class there was another Audrey so the kids got used to calling them by there full names).

On the Last day they got little Medals and Ava was SO proud of herself!
And then she Cried cause she didn't want that to be her last day!

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!
