Let It Snow!

We woke up last Sunday to a bunch of snow and during the week it has not stopped! Alot of the schools and roads by us have been closed down since Wednesday and I feel like it is much harder to drive up here in the snow than it is in Utah, it seems so much slicker. Ava Loved it the first time it snowed as you can see by her surprised expression but by the third and forth time and the deeper it got she hated it! I didn't get around to doing x-mas cards this year since there has been so much going on but I will make it a goal next year. Were off to Utah now so I hope you all have Merry Christmas!

The Meltdown it was too deep to walk in!

We Went to this house the other night it was amazing! It's called Woodinville Wonderland and they have this amazing music and light show. They have a plasma screen in the window and has santa working in his workshop. It looks so real! Ava Loved it!

Breakfast with Santa!

So my dad started a new tradition a few years ago and he would buy all the kids and grandkids tickets for breakfast with santa and Thanksgiving point. We were in town this year so we were able to go. We had tons of fun. Except when ava noticed who was holding her it was santa and she started freaking out but everything worked out and We had tons of fun!

Yummy Sausage!

She was scared of Mrs. Claus too!

This is the only picture I could get of the two girls in their skirts. Ava's was falling off and she was super tired by that point but we still had fun!




she loved the polar bear!

Thanksgiving In Utah!

We were able to go down to Utah again this year for thanksgiving since both of our families live there I think it makes perfect sense! Ava and I stayed an extra long this time. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and is going to be going through treatment soon so I have been trying to help out and spend as much time possible with him. We got to do alot while we were down there too. It's always good to see old friends and it's so nice to be able to pick up right where we left off. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive during this tough time. Please keep him in your prayers.

We got to celebrate my brother Dave's 31st Birthday. He is attending law school in Kansas right now so we don't get to see much of him and his family.

The three boys!

I got to go to my good friends Tiff's costco Baby shower. Andra you did such a great job by the way!

We did lots and lots of Christmas Shopping!

If you haven't had the opportunity to try out the sundance sunday brunch you are missing out. It is amazing! Pricey but definately worth it!









Of course by the time we got up there Ava was so fussy. I decided to take her for a walk outside in the snow and this is what happend.

A total meltdown! She hated the snow.

My Brother In-law Jameson got his mission call to Sacramento California! Here he is patiently waiting.










And we also got to celebrate my mom's 65th birthday! Look how good she looks!!

Grandma Pugmire Comes to Visit!

Last week Grandma Pugmire came for a visit! As many of you know this has been a hard transition for me moving away from my family and friends so it's the best when we have visitors! and the sad fact that Ava has to relearn who her grandparents are each time she sees them. We had tons of fun hanging out, running erronds, shopping and going out to dinner. Come
back soon Grandma or anyone else that wants to visit.

Even Grandpa Pugmire stayed the weekend. I told him I was going to put this on my blog and he still continued to make faces!

Yesterday Ava had her first big fall. Her favorite thing to do in the whole world is to have me make loud bear noises while pounding on the floor and chasing her all around the house. Well I guess I got a little to into it and she ended up running into the coffee table and her cheek rammed into the metal leg part now she has a bruise on her cheek. I feel so bad but I am sure there is many more to come!

pUmPkIn TiMe!

On Tj's day off I decided it would be fun to do something festive so we headed to the pumpkin patch rain and all! Of course Ava was tired by the time we got there but we made the best of it!


















She didn't like being thrown in with the pumpkins!


We even got to pet the cows!

Recent Pics!

Well we haven't been up to too much lately! Ava is busy as ever! walking on her own. She hates to be held now, which makes me sad my little baby is growing up so fast! The weather is very cold, wet and gray here now, guess winter has begun! A shout out to my brother. Happy Birthday John! He would have turned 40 last Sunday. He died in a tragic car accident when I was only 11. My family in Utah celebrated his birthday with a special dinner and lots of old memories. He was so fun, happy, outgoing and always lived life on the edge. I miss him so much but it's a great to know we will see him again some day.
