Saturday Shopping

A couple of Saturday's ago we went up to SLC to go Shopping.
Our first stop was Gateway and of course we had to play in the water!
Ava is such a goof... we laughed so hard watching her!

She really thought that if you put your hand out you wouldn't get wet!

Then it was off to Trolley Square where we spent most of our time in Pottery Barn Kids!

(Where we found Cute new bedding for Ava for her BIG bed)

And before our next Stop, we needed some re-fueling—
so we headed to Hires for Burgers and Fries.
(Sorry no pictures of us stuffing our face).

Last stop Sugar House so we could go to Nordstrom Rack.
By that point the kids were done... so to entertain them I gave Ava my camera to take Pictures! When we got home and I looked at my camera and i had at least 50 random photos like these.

And this is what the kids looked like on the way home.
And yes—Ava fell asleep rockin' out to Lady Gaga... it was so loud we could hear it.

We had a Great day—
• The kids were great
• The weather was perfect
• And we found some really good stuff!

(Those kind of days don't happen very often, at the same time)

Gavin • Animal

We Figured it out...
Gavin is Animal
You remember from the Muppet Babies

Its been Months sense that Snaggle Tooth came in...
and still NO other Teeth have come to join it!

Is that weird?

Not only does he look like Animal, but he acts like him too!
He eats our my Furniture!

This is what he has done to his Crib!
They are all over... I don't know what to do cause I can't paint it—he'll just eat it again and now I'll have to find paint that's not Toxic so he doesn't die from Lead Poisoning!

Not to mention all the other Furniture he eats!

(Photo taken right after I caught him eating his crib! So cute)

Gavin even though you are Animal we still Love you!
Just stop eating our Furniture!

Seth's Basketball Game

During one of Seth's Basketball Games Ava was getting Bored
so here is how I Entertained her...

Taking lots of Photos of her
These are on only a Few…we took a lot!

And Video of her!

She is Very Funny and Very Entertaining!
Not to mention a Great Dancer and Singer!

Spencer and Brittany Wedding

On February 27th
Spencer and Brittany
got married in the Denver Colorado Temple

We were very Lucky to have Good Weather.
There was No Snow and it was in the High 40's... Not to bad!

And believe it or not— my kids were both Good and Healthy... this was good because the week before was not good for our family. Unfortunately London and Savvy were not doing good, London had a Terrible Cough that would not go away and Savvy had 2 ear infections.
Kids—why are you always sick?

So usually we don't invite the kids to the Lunch/Dinner or what not, but because we were in Colorado with no babysitters the kids "got" to come with us. They were a little crazy and bored so there was a lot of running around and a lot Dancing.

Ava May was very excited about that Day— so much so she kept calling it
a Magical Day!

(Gavin Looks so Big in that Picture)

When we told Ava we were going to stay in a hotel for the wedding she couldn't stop talking about Swimming, she was so excited about going to the pool and so before the Reception we took the kids swimming, ok—they didn't swim at all they sat in the Hot Tub for 15 minutes then wanted to get out... whatever floats your boat.

Something very Big did happen while we were gone—
We had So many people telling us what a "Happy Baby we have..."
Wait Gavin Happy? Are we talking about the same kid?
We don't know what it is but ever sense that trip Gavin has been so Good.
We really Love this Gavin... Please don't go anywhere!

During the Reception London and Savvy weren't doing so good, so Amy and Eric had to leave early to make it to after hours. But before they left of course Ava had to let London know that she was Being very Rude and Ruining her Magical Day! She is so Crazy!

Ava Dancing at the Reception... Her most favorite Part!

Ava and the "Wedding Bride"

Ava loves weddings— she loves everything about them.
Lets just say on our way home from the Reception she was telling us all about
Her Own Wedding! Ava your 4— you shouldn't know what your wedding colors are going to be!

At the Airport they were giving away Free Cupcakes— The Denver Airport was Celebrating their 15 year anniversary... What ever it was, Ava was excited about it!

So when we go in the Plane and sat down in our seats. This older guy in front leaned over to his wife and said "oh Great there's two of them" and his wife said "you'll be fine it's only an hour flight"... why are people so grumpy? And were right next to you... do you really think we can't hear you? We were so close to saying something but we didn't, we instead just put Gavin right up next to his seat when he Cried! And by the way the kids were great on the flight Gavin slept most of the way!

We are So excited for Spencer and Brittany!
We love them and are So Happy that Brittany is part of our family... I think Ava is the Most excited, she was asking all week, "when is Brittany (not Spencer) coming home from her Honeymoon?"

Yes...Im 25!

Yes… I am 25 years old!

Don't you LOVE the card Ryan and Ava made for me!
I guess Ava thought we all needed Goggles!

We Celebrated with a Trip to the Doctors, Shopping, Dinner with Family and a Movie with Ryan... Without Kids! (thanks mom and dad)

My favorite Gift…
A homemade Bracelet from my Cute little Ava!

We saw Avatar in 3D— So good! We loved it! I was a little sceptical about seeing it, thought it would be a lot of War Fighting between Blue People and 2 1/2 hours is a really long time! But it was amazing and I actually liked the story... and the Love between the Blue people!
If you haven't seen it yet... I definitely recommend you go see it while it's still in 3D! It's worth the Experience.

Little goopy eyed Gavin... lets just say he was not very kind to me on my Birthday! My Birthday started with Gavin up all night—Crying and Throwing-up. I had to change his clothes and Bed numerous times! It was marvelous! So in the Morning we headed to see Dr. Melissa, turns out he had 2 ear infections and pneumonia (which was causing the Vomiting) Not to mention he is Teething and has had a Stupid cold for 2 weeks! But once he got his antibiotics and started his breathing Treatments he was back to normal!

So thanks Gavin for making my Birthday so Special
I definitely liked Ava's present Better!

Thanks Everyone for making my 25th Birthday So much Fun!
Besides Gavin you failed!
