This is what happens now everytime we go shopping!

Ava wants to try on every pair of sunglasses they have.

Ava's Obsessions!

The Weather has been pretty crappy here lately. It snowed a ton last month and now the rain were getting is melting the snow and has caused alot of flooding which means lots and lots of roads shutting down. It took me over 2 hours to get home the other day when it usually would have only taken 30 mins it was bumper to bumper all the way home. Not fun!! Anyways enough complaining! Ava has been keeping me very busy! These are her latest obsessions!

The first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning is collect all the tooth brushes in the house and brush her teeth all day long!

She wants to go up and down the stairs a million times. Thank goodness we have a gate!




She loves to help me with the dishes!

or she just likes to play on the dishwasher.

Christmas 2008!

We were fortunate to be in Utah for Christmas this year. They shut the Seattle aiport down the day we were suppose to fly to Utah. I was so worried we weren't going to make it this year because the weather was suppose to be bad all week but luckily it cleared up for two days and we made it down the day before christmas eve.

On Christmas Eve we went with the Pugmire Family to dinner at Christopher's in Salt Lake. It was so good!

Daddy and Ava at Dinner.

After dinner we made a quick trip to temple square it was way too cold!

Ava woke up super early Christmas morning so she went and plowed the streets with Grandpa Pugmire in their new prowler.
