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.


Watching the Squeakuel with her new friends


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

Ava—The Soccer Player


Last week Ava had her
First Soccer Game!
We were a little nervous on how she would do... We weren't sure if she'd like it or not.
As we were getting her dressed she didn't like what she had to wear— not girly enough! She even asked Ryan if she could were a Bow... Ryan's reponse— "NO!...Soccer players don't wear Bows." Then she told me she was going to Pretend her shorts were a skirt.



Stretching before the Game. Effective!

When the whistle blew to start the game Ava took the ball all the way down the field and scored the first goal! We are so proud of her. I told her that she could have a toy if she scored a goal thinking my money was safe. After she scored she ran to the sideline and asked "when are we going to Toys-r-us"—oops

Ava just prances and skips around the ball. She's afraid of getting hit so she just stays back.
She's scored her goal so she thinks she's good now.



Ava practicing her throw-ins.









So Before the game they do a little Practice and she was supposed to kick the ball in front of her to the goal... but of course she had to run all the way to the other side so that she could kick the Pink Ball.

So far all of our Games have been so Cold... We really need some decent weather, cause playing (well watching) Soccer in the Cold is not Fun!

We Love him and are so happy he is in our Life!




His Face while we Sang Happy Birthday to Him... He didn't know what to think!
He thought we were all crazy!


The Baseball Cake we Attempted to make.


We let him have it all to himself. A little B-Day present.





Cleaning him from the Cake war


His Favorite Present—he wouldn't let go of it all night


He wasn't even interested in any of the other Presents...
so everyone else had to open them for him.
