UEA • Park City

For UEA... Fall Break we headed up to
Park City.
It was Pretty, Perfect weather and so nice to get away.

We went on many walks, found these horses.
Everyone loved them, except for Gavin, he was scared to death of them.

Main Street

Rode the Free Trolley

Ate way to many of these! I'm addicted.

Eating at Main Street Pizza.

Nate taking a picture of our family, so glad our kids are paying attention.
Hey, I guess it's proof that I was there.

Watched that movie I think 10 times... So Funny.

Went swimming 2 or 3 times a day.

Gavin's Position in the water.

We went for a walk on the trail by the Big White Barn, they had decorated it with all kinds of different Scarecrows. There were So many cute ones.
These are just a few of them.

Ava kept calling this one her "Big Buddy"

Tried to get a cute family Picture... didn't work.

My two Cute boys!

Gavin eating a piece of straw.

We Love Park City—
especially this time of year!

Gavin Attacking • Savvy

I Love these Pictures.
After going to Cornbelly's we went and ate at JCW's.
While we were there Gavin kept attacking Savvy. He was jumping out of Ryan's arms trying to get her. Luckily Savvy thought it was funny too.

CornBellys • Thanksgiving Point

Last week when Amy and girls were here visiting for Fall Break we went to
Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point.

Of course the day we went it was raining, well not while we were there, but everything was still wet, and muddy.
We got there at 4, right when it opened so there was no one there. And with the iffy weather we were pretty much the only ones there.

Ava loved it, She loved the Princess area and she loved running around with Olivia and London. Even though we were only there an hour.

I asked Ava if I could take a picture of her and these are the poses I got...

The Cute Princess Carriage. For a Real Princess!

Watching London swing was so funny, the rope kept hitting her face and she would just laugh.

The girls loved those little things. Ava and London kept running over to everyone they saw.

The Jumping Pillows... Fun, hated you have to take off there shoes.

Cheer • Cheer • Cheerleader!

Last Thursday night Ava was a "Real Cheerleader"
She did the PHS Cheer Clinic all week and then performed her Dance and Cheers that she had learned. She did So good. We think she was the best and Cutest Cheerleader out there.

Can't forget about Little G... So Cute.

Ava You did SO good!

BYU Game

A few weeks ago we decided to go to the

BYU vs. Colorado State football game.

It was very last minute... didn't get to think about all the reasons why we shouldn't go, main reason taking two small kids to a game. It was definitley our last. But for the most part it wasn't too bad. Actually really a lot of fun.

We almost threw in the towel before we even got to our seats. Don't know why but we parked SO far away. I think it just seemed so far away because we had to carry both kids. Ava's legs were breaking so I had to carry her. Then Gavin went to the bathroom right when we got there! Not fun changing him in a gross public bathroom. Then we had to walk up a billion stairs. People were looking at us like why bother, they're crazy, and I swear I heard someone say "I feel bad for them." But once we got to our seats it was all good.

In this picture you can see Braden out on the field.
(The main... only reason we went was to go and watch Braden.)

Uncle Wilzum came and enjoyed the game with our family.

This is what Ava did during the game, when she wasn't entertained eating all the Popcorn and junk food we had.

Were still surprised how good Gavin did.

Seeing Braden after the game. We tried to get a picture with him in his uniform, but when he was running in the locker room he didn't see or hear us yelling at him.

Maybe next time.
Wait sorry there is no way I'm going to another game with my kids. Not until they can walk on there own and there legs don't break.

Ava or Gavin?

(Ava 23 months old)

The other day we were pulling out our Halloween stuff, and we found all of Ava's old wigs.
So we had to try some on Gavin.

I can't believe how much he looks like
Ava in the Doodlebops wig.

If only our lives were as uncomplicated and easy as this!

Gavin's Blessing

(with all the Craziness going on in our lives we finally did it)

On September 12th Ryan Blessed
Gavin Robert Hyde

We decided to just do a low key get together with some Family and Friends at our Clubhouse. It turned out really well. We had lots of good food, lots of family that came to support us and it was really good that we finally just Blessed our poor Child.

The only Photos I got of Gavin in his Blessing Outfit
before he Spewed all over himself. Not just spit up... like he really threw up. He was a little sick that weekend and he ended up spreading it to a lot of the Guests at the blessing... Sorry everyone.

Some of our Crazy Guests

We love our little Gavin and we are so grateful he came to our family. Unless he’s tired, angry, ticked off, bored, or just in a bad mood…He’s all smiles.

Ava- First Day @ Preschool

Last week Ava started Preschool, we still can't believe we have a child that is in School.
I looked for so long to find a good Preschool and I finally found one—Center Stage a Performing Arts school. It has everything I was looking for. They do School stuff, Dancing and Singing and the best part about it, is that is is right around the corner from our house. All summer long she would ask "when do I start my school and Dance Class"? So when the time came she was Super Excited and didn't even look back. I was so upset that I only got a few pictures of that moment, but apparently Ava had things to do and friends to make. She didn't even stop to take pictures or at least give us hug goodbye!

The first day of school Ava said she made a friend with the most beautiful, Beautiful long hair. She's a little jealous of girls with long hair because that's what princesses have. The problem is she didn't know her name…we just found out today after her class that her name is Lexy. She now has two friends named Lexy and Abigail. We are so Happy she made friends and that she Loves School.
