Cuddly Duck

Ava our Cute Little Cuddly Duck!
A couple of weeks ago was the BIG Recital. Ava and the girls did such a good Job!
It was a long and crazy week filled with lots of Dress Rehearsals and Late nights. Ava loved it of Coarse— Big hair, lots of Make up and a cute little Cuddly Duck Costume!

On our way to the BIG show!
I was so glad we didn't have to bring Gavin along... cause there is no way he would have lasted!
Thanks Dallin and Melissa for being so Kind and watching him for us!

The Recital was in Phoenix at the Orpheum.
Such a cool Building! It was a very old-school looking broadway theatre.

The Video of the Dance was Actually take at the Dress Rehearsal and the video of the Final was take the night of the Show.
Video Fotage—not so Great... but you get the Idea.

The cute little Performers after the Show— of Coarse they need Flowers!
Love the Picture of Mimi in the Back Ground! Sorry Mimi!

It was a Great Show— a little long but very Entertaining.
We all decided that the Cuddly Ducks needed to come out and Perform every 4 or 5 numbers... Cause it was way too cute to just do it once!

Singing Camp

For the past 2 weeks Ava has been attending the
That's Entertainment
Musical Theatre Summer Camp.
This years theme was
It's All Good!

Everyday they would go and learn different songs and cute dance moves to go with the songs—of course Ava loved it. London, Olivia and Lexy (Eric's sister's little girl) also did it with her. I guess Livy was in the senior camp and went at a different time, but she learned pretty much the same songs.

One of Ava's favorite things was that they gave all the girls a CD with all the songs so they could Practice, Practice, Practice at home. And Of course Ava did all the time. It was great Entertainment! But man—we're sick of those songs!

At the end of the 2 weeks they got to Perform all the songs and Dances they learned.

Ava Entertained by her Reflection

I love this Video—
I'm So glad i had my Camera Sitting next to me to Catch Ava in one of her Dance Performances!
This is definitely one of her favorites to do these days! The Best part of it is that she doesn't realize that we can all see her through the the Window!
So Cute— Sorry Ava if this Embarrasses you out!

Gavin— Walking

Last Weekend Gavin finally Figured it out.
At 14 1/2 months it's about Time.

Sorry the Video is a little Dark and I look a little Scary.

Photos for the Family

Ava and Gavin play really well together.
I think cause most the time Gavin will do whatever Ava wants.

Does he not look like a little Hitler?
(disclaimer: this blog is not associated with Hitler in any way)

Don't know why— but Gavin thinks he can crawl through everything.

Talking to my family on the Phone
With his Boston Hat— he loves it!

Preschool Program

Last week Ava and London had their end of Year Program— Graduation. But they're not Graduating from Preschool quite yet, so they just got to participate in the Program.
They sang a lot of cute songs, Got there Certificate and had treats with all the Family members that came.

We were so Happy Mrs. Heidi let Ava join her Preschool!

Ava—Self Portrait

So Ava is very into my camera right now. She takes it all the time to take random pictures of her toys, Gavin, our house and my favorite...
Herself.

Thanks Ava for always surprising me with Awesome Photos!

Play Ground and Burns

The Kids and Babies Love the Swings.
Pushing the Babies is very Entertaining... they are so Funny.
The sounds and Faces they make are so cute!

But then we came home and realized our little G Ball got Burned.
He was so RED… I felt like a terrible Mom. We didn't even think of Sun Screen because we were only out there for an hour and it wasn't even hot... it was actually a cool windy day.

All Greased up with Aloe Vera.
Luckily when he woke up the next morning it was pretty much gone.
Sorry Gavin you got my Pale Skin.

BYU vs. ASU baseball Game

Last week
BYU Played ASU
Here in Arizona
There stadium is actually in Tempe—right next to Ryan's work.
We were so excited to go and see Bryce... When I actually saw him I almost started to cry. It made me miss home, my family and all the baseball games we went to.
Bryce played really good and we had a lot of fun. The kids loved it, the weather was perfect and It felt really good to sit and watch some Baseball again.

Can you see Bryce behind the Plate?

Don't know what Ava's doing... Weirdo

The Stadium is by the Airport and Planes would fly by like every 10 minutes, Gavin loved it.

Thanks again Bryce for getting us tickets!
