THE PAST MONTH

This has been one crazy month. There are tons of pictures of the kids. Enjoy!!!

As many of you already know Ava had to have one of her front teeth pulled due to complications of a bad filling. I have to admit I was so nervous for her to have the tooth pulled especially since there was some crazy talk going on in the neighborhood about how she wouldn't be as cute and a bunch of other stuff, but what all those people don't know is how brave and confident Miss Ava Jae is. She totally rocks this new look. I never thought that it was possible for her to get any cuter but she just did. These were taken a few days after her surgery.

Just look at those faces!!! I have the best job in the world. I get to spend day in and day out with those adorable kids!

Ava being Ava. Such a goofball.

Ava's pre-school graduation. Yes you read that right. The little thing finished her first year of pre-school. Thanks to Miss Marsha Ava has really stepped out of her shell. She knows her ABC's, numbers, colors, and shapes and many other things. The only thing I was told to work with her on is cutting with scissors! I thought that was hilarious, I never allow her to use them she is only three!! Ava surprised us and wrote a song titled "The Spooky Song" which she sang at graduation. She has a journal that she writes all her songs in. I love that she is so creative. I have video of her performing I just don't know how to get it on here.

DENVER!!!!

The kids and I flew over to Denver for Kylie's baptism and for our yearly visit. Flying alone with one child I can handle but flying with two was a little more difficult but I managed. The first night we were in Denver we had a surprise party for Matt and Candace so much fun seeing my cousin Rachael and her son Carson(too cute for words) my Aunt Susan, Uncle Dave and Chris and most of Candace's family. Next we were off to kylie's baptism. What an awesome experience. We shopped, swam, played at Amazing Jake's for six hours!!! and survived a tornado!! Ava is now an expert on tornadoes. It scared her at first but her grandpa Tom and Uncle Matt were there to cuddle her to ease her nerves. Such a fun filled week that flew by way too fast. On the way home all three of us fell asleep for the entire flight. Thank goodness!

Grandma Carla, Ava, Cash and Grandpa Tom
It was so nice to stay with Dad and Carla. Ava loved sleeping in the "Jungle" room. It was just so much fun hanging out with those two.


Amazing Jake's

Ava & Alyssa

The 2 cutest three year olds I have ever seen!! Girls playing Dance Dance Revoultion Me, Ava and Alyssa

This ride is like the Tea Cups. I made the mistake of going on it first with Jaxon who spun us as fast as he could I was so sick, luckily the girls didn't go as crazy Ava & me on the Go-Karts.

Ava liked it at first but she got bored. She really wanted to drive.

AVA'S DANCE RECITAL

Ava's recital was held at the Perry Egyptian Theater. It was so fancy, totally perfect for our little performer. She danced to a song called "Hollywood" I was crying during the whole performance. She was amazing! Thanks to Aunt Mindee for doing Ava's hair. Look how cute.

A boy and his duck!!

This is duckie, Cash has to have him to sleep with. I layed him down and went to check on him and this is what I saw. My little man is the best.

Our newest addition

Ava named our puppy Nic. We finally found a dog for us. He is a goldendoodle. About 8 weeks old in the picture. He has been such a wonderful addition to the family. Potty training is going great. He knows his name and other commands already. He is so smart

AvA aVa AvA

Here are some adorable pictures of Ava. She is just the best girl in the whole world. She is 3 1/2 going on 16. Ava has the best sense of style and has an opinon about everything under the sun. * We Love you Ava!

Cash is 4 months

Grandma Jackie takes the cutest pictures of the babies on her kitchen table in the natural light. These were taken on Saturday. As you can see Cash is growing new chubby rolls everyday. He is in the 70% in height measuring 25 in. 50% on weight, weighing in at 14.4 lbs. His poor head is in the 9th% The Dr isn't concerned at all as long as his soft spots don't close up to fast, which they aren't. The Dr said that Cash is just perfect (I could have told him that!) He is developing wonderfully. Cash has started to eat cereal he can't get enough of it, so today at lunch we tried some sweet potatoes he had a smile on his face from ear to ear! So as Dave always says

"He's fat and happy"

CASH

Just a few updates on the little man... No more eye boogers, YEAH!!! His eyes are definitely BLUE, Sleeping through the night since seven weeks I just didn't mention it earlier didn't want to jinx it. Will talk any ones ear off if they will let him, grabbing anything he can (Ava's hair) . He is starting to like tummy time, wearing 6 month size mostly for the length, he is losing his hair on the sides, but it is still black as night in the back, his cheeks seem to get bigger everyday. Loves story time, jeep rides, Tuesdays, Thursdays because the "loud one" is at pre-school, Sunday because that's "guys day"and he loves me!! Such a mama's boy!! He makes my day when I get him out of bed in the morning just a big smile, best way to start the day. Here are some pictures of Cash smiling I worked hard to get these he is already getting suspicious about the camera. He is getting chubbier by the second. Don't you just want to squeeze him? I probably kiss his cheeks a thousand times a day. You would too!

FOUR YEARS

Wow! Has is been four years already? On April ninth we celebrated our anniversary. How lucky I am to have found him and to share this wonderful life that we have created together. Dave is such an amazing guy, I love that he treats me like I am his everything, I love that no matter how busy his schedule is he always finds time to play cafe with Ava. I love how at peace he is while holding his little man. I love all that he does for our family. He is the hardest working guy I know he puts in long hours at work and school and still finds time to be with us. I remember on our wedding day, we couldn't keep our eyes off each other even the Bishop made a comment about it during the ceremony! I'm glad we still have eyes for each other four years later!! I love you Dave.

ZiGgY PiGgY!!!

Poor Cash, he just got done chowing down on a 6oz bottle, which in of itself is a lot for him to eat but the poor thing just wasn't full as soon as he swallowed his last bit of formula he got this sad look on his face, you would think we never fed the guy! So we made him 1 oz thinking that would be enough but nope he wanted one more oz then he was finally full after 8oz!!! No wonder his little face is so round and plump!
