I found this Video on my Camera
It is Ava Trying to take a picture of herself...

Emily and Brandon's Wedding

On August 5th Emily and Brandon Got married in the Salt Lake Temple.

It Started out to be such a Great Day... and ended so Perfect.
It was the Middle part that was a little crazy.

Right as we were setting up for the Reception a Storm came through.
Not just Rain but Wind... Lots of Wind. The wind was so Strong that it Broke that Tree.... Where they were going to stand. And it came through at such a horrible time, one hour before it was supposed to start. We all made the decision to move it inside. Then mid through the storm was gone, the Sun was out so we moved it back outside. All together we moved the wedding 3 times. But after all that craziness it turned out really pretty and a lot of Fun!

Nate hanging one of the Flower balls for the 3rd time.
The Flower Balls were my favorite, they were SO pretty! I didn't get a good photo of them, with all the Craziness going on.

Watching Emily and Brandon cut the Cake.

I love these Photos of Ava!
Katie's friend Laura took them and I can't get enough of that Black and White one!
So Cute.

Ava got a Bloody nose... while fighting for the Bouquet.

Some of the Family photos.
We had to stop the line early so they could take Pictures.
Since at 5:00 we were in a major Wind Storm!

Congratulations Emily and Brandon you two are SO cute!
We love you!

Olympic Park

A few weeks ago we went up to Park City for the Weekend and while we were there we went to the
Olympic Park.
My Cousin Matthew works up there so he totally hooked us up... With free Rides on everything—and as many times as we wanted! Thanks Matthew, We had so much Fun!

Ava loved the Alpine Slide and called it the Big Slide.
She wanted to do the Zip Line but she wasn't big enough.

The Big Zip Line. It's the steepest Zip Line in the World.
I want to know how someone decides to do the long jump for the first time. No Thanks.

Seth and Nate doing the Big Zip Line.
Tecinally Nate shouldn't be doing it, your supposed to be 100 pounds But I guess when you know the workers they'll let you on.

The Bobsledders. Not Jamaican
Around the turns you get up to 4Gs. To put that in perspective a Jet Airplane does up to 6Gs and the space shuttle does 8Gs.
Ryan said he was laughing the whole way down because it was so intense. We hear it's crazier in the winter time too on the ice, can't wait to try it.

They took second for the day—the first losers.

It Fit.

My Cousin Matthew

We had a lot of Fun!
It was so Pretty and the weather was Perfect.
Matthew Thanks Again!

Disneyland!

So while we were in California at the Beach we decided to go to
DISNEYLAND!

We had SO much fun! Seeing Ava's face, and watching her as she went on rides and as she got to meet all the Disney Creatures (as Ava calls them) and the most exciting thing of all meeting the Real Princesses! Even with all the crowds and the heat we definitely had a
MAGICAL DAY!

Some of Ava's (and Ours) Favorites

* When Pluto held her hand... she was definitely blushing! Ryan asked her if Pluto really held her hand, she blushed and said “come on dad, you’ve got to be kidding me.”
* Her Favorite Ride and ours was Soarin' Over California
* We loved that Ava was over 4o" tall. So she could go on some of the Big Rides.
* Favorite Princesses- Ariel cause she was SO nice and Belle cause her Dress was so Lovely!
* Her New Sun Glasses she got at the Princess Gift Shop.
* The Bugs Life Area, Cause there were hardly any People and everything was so cute.
* The bumper cars cause she got to drive.
* Fantasmic and the Fireworks at the end.
* She loved that everyone kept calling her “Princess”
* We loved that the workers always said “have a Magical Day” and Ava would say “We are having a Magical day!” We love how nice all the “Cast members” are!
* Arial's Grotto!! Well worth the Money!
* Play House Disney Live on Stage! Got front row.
* The Pixar Play Parade... So much Fun! Except they kept squirting us with water.
* Not having to stand in any Lines to see any of the Characters! Don't know how we lucked out... But it was amazing!

Enjoy our many Pictures!

Nemo Ride

She took a little Nap before the big
Princess Lunch at Arial’s Grotto

We loved it so much! It was so nice to take a break, get out of the Sun and away from all the people. And we got to go relax, eat good food and have all the Princess come to you! Ava was in Heaven she hardly ate anything. I couldn't blame her. There was definitely more important things going on... like seeing all the Real Princesses in there Lovely Dresses!

She didn't think Sleeping Beauty Dress was Big enough.

But she just LOVED Belle's Dress!
She kept saying how Lovely her dress is. I agree hers was the best!

Olivia's Birthday was a couple weeks before we went so they sang to her.

I got sick on the Dumbo Ride! Ava kept going up and down really fast!

Toon Town

Playhouse Disney Live on Stage
This was right down her ally. She watches these shows pretty much everyday. It was so fun watching her sing all songs. lets just say she was singing and dancing the whole time.

The Pixar Parade
So Fun! Lots of singing, dancing and they sprayed lots of water... very nice when your hot!
