Amelia's One Year Pics


So we fianlly went and got pictures of my little one. Sad how with the first you take them all of the time. Amelia has now only had professional photos done twice. I think they turned out pretty good however.

Swimming Lessons


This is Ava's first year in doing swimming by herself without mommy or daddy. She does really good at getting her whole face in the only thing she hates is going down the darn slide and getting cold.

Dance


This is just a few photos of My little Aviator's Dance Recital. Thanks to all of the family that came to watch her develop this talent. I got two for one out of this because Not only did Ava dance but she also sang every song that went with her dance.

Disneyland



So this is us in Disneyland. We were excited to finally take Ava to this fun and magical place. She loved it. Most of all the Princess's. Amelia was a tropper and stuck the whole 10 hour day out with us.

More Beach Fun



As You can see Amelia had a bit of a run in with the sand. Poor girl was teething on the trip and so she had a goober nose to add to it whenever she is in the wind her eyes run so add that to a face plant in the sand and this is the result. She loved it though didn't cry once.

BEACH FUN



So we recently went to California For a little family fun. While there we decided to introduce Ava to the Ocean. Didn't go so well at first as you can see from the photo. The water was way too cold for her. But with a little help from Grandpa David she soon got the hang of it. Amelia of course loved it, anything big and dangerous she is a magnet too. We also stopped by the Newport Beach Temple while there. It is so beautiful.

He crash landed on his knee with his mouth. Lost four front teeth and as you can see wasn't bothered much by it.

CHEER COMPETITION



For those who don't know, my Niece Shinae cheers for the Spanish Fork High School. About a month ago I went to her competition in Riverton or somewhere like that. It was really fun to watch. They didn't place but they did do a great job. If you want to spot who she is, she has dark long hair and will be featured in all of the photos (not that I am biased).

Do you think Amelia likes her Mouth!

Posted by Picasa
So all of these Photos were taken in one night. As you can see Amelia really likes to explore everything via the mouth. She loves the tub now that she can crawl around in it and get around to chase her toys. Mom likes it because its easier to bathe a child that can hold themselves up while I do the washing.

Being Domestic!



So Finally Troy got me a wheat grinder and I decided to put it to use. Here is my first batch which turned out to be a night mare. My recipe was way to big for my mixer so I was forced into being a Pioneer and i kneaded my bread by hand for 23 minutes. Good workout, I was afraid it would not turn out because I wasn't using a mixer Heaven for bid. Sad how we forget that these recipes came from those who only had two hands to make bread. Anyway all in all the Bread turned out okay but I didn't let it rise enough so I will do better next time.

GOOD CLEAN FUN!



Amelia is obsessed with the vacuum you turn it on and no matter where she is she crawls very quickly to get there and then she sits right in front of it making the job a bit more challenging than necessary.

Valentine Fun!



A few Days before Valentine's, Troy's sister's Kids came over to help us out in decorating cookies. We had tons of fun as you can see. I think that Julian has a serious sweet tooth he was constantly eating the frosting off the knife.

MY LITTLE PONY SALON



Posted by Picasa
I bet most of you didn't know that you can treat My little Pony Hair the same way as Human Hair.....well you can and leave it to Ava to want to experiment. Ava has every single My little pony memorized along with the theme song. She absolutely loves Ponies. Last night we were a bit bored and Ava wanted to bathe her Ponies. So I let her I went in to find that they were getting the full spa treatment with shampoo and conditioner. So I stepped in and combed the hair out then Ava had the idea for rollers. It turned out pretty Afro as you can see on Star Song the Purple pony. Too bad we didn't do something to Ava's own hair.

CANADA!



This was our wonderful trip to Canada. We went up to see Troy's mom, Marlo, and Grandma just after the new year. You can see that we had tons of fun. Ava mostly enjoyed playing with Grandpa and Grandma's horses everyday as well as the cats. My favorite part was learning how to make Gail's delicious bread although as you can see Ava got the hands on experience not me. Also while in Canada we went to Calgary for the day to visit Troy's old friends from up there and I was dumb and forgot my camera so you won't see them int he photos but it was great fun seeing them again and meeting some new ones as well.

Undecorating!







So while Troy and I were busy undecorating the house from all of the Christmas stuff, we found that Amelia was enjoying the decorating a little more than we were. She got a hold of a glass ball while we were busy not paying attention, and continued to put it where everything that she holds goes....right into the mouth. This is how we found her a silver ball in her hand which use to be red and her face covered in paint. Let's hope that was not lead based.

The Puppies Are Here!





My sister Allison's Dog Lila recently had 5 puppies. They are so cute and cuddly. We took Ava up to see them right before we headed off to Canada. Ava was a natural mother Hen with them. She loved them all as you can see. Milie didn't care too much for them.

Not Something You See Everyday!



So for my 30th Birthday, Troy's 28th Birthday, & our 6th Annivaersay Troy decided to take me up to Danial's Summit Lodge to get away. It was very fun to get away just the two of us with no kids and just actually sleep through the night with no crying. Also why we were up there we went snowmobiling for the day up at Strawberry Resevoir. Not exactly relaxing but very fun. On our way home we saw the above fighting. It was so amazing I have only seen a few moose in my life but never two of them together and fighting. Luckily we had my camera. So we got some fun photos. Thanks Melissa for enduring 5 kids alone while we snuck away to play.

Merry Christmas
