Utah Trip!

I know it will probably seem like there's a lot of Utah trips lately but it's for a good reason. My dad started his first round of his Chemotherapy while we were down there. I am SO greatful we were able to be there along with my oldest sister Stacy who lives in California. I can only imagine how frightened and alone my dad must feel right now. Especially not knowing what to expect from all this. I hope us being there made a big difference. I just want to show my dad as much love and support he has always shown me throughout my entire life. He is such an amazing person and is the most selfless person I have ever known and if anyone deserves a miracle it's my dad. I hope and pray every single day that this cancer will leave his body and he can live a very long and healthy life! I know I didn't get to see very many of my friends I will be back and forth alot and I want to thank everyone for there love and support during this difficult time.

I was able to be there for my adorable nephew Tyce's baby blessing.

Valentines Day/Tj's B-day!

Ava and I just got back from Utah on Friday we both came back very sick, bad sinus infections and coughs! I am so sick of blowing my nose and not being able to breathe at night but worst of all is a sick baby. I feel so bad for her! Tj's a Valentine's baby and I made reservations before I left to Utah for Pf Chang's. I know how crazy it gets trying to go out to eat that night. We decided to go I debated doing take-out since Ava was so sick and I should have listened to myself she lasted a whole 10 minutes! It's the effort that counts right? We got a few pics of our eventful night.

My sick baby!

I had to post this pic of TJ and his best friend Nick from back in the day. They loved to dress up and pose for the camera! Kinda scary! I thought only girls did that! Ha ha. Happy Birthday Teej!

2 Years Baby!

Crazy too think we celebrated our Second Anniversary tonight! The time has flown by! I have know Tj for over 7 years now and it would be hard to imagine him not in my life. Although his work is very demanding and he spends most of his time there, we were able to sneak away for some alone time and ate some yummy dinner at Olive Garden tonight. Thanks so much to Aunt Aubrey for watching our busy bee! Your the Best!

Had to post this pic of us when we were dating. Look how young we look! And Tan!

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.

Christmas morning

She wasn't excited about opening up any presents she just wanted her elmo book.

She loved the hat she got Papa Bolda so much she wouldn't take it off.











Most of the brothers and sisters on the Bolda side

Dad and his girls except for staci.

















My adorable new nephew Tyce who was born just a few weeks ago I got to meet him for the first time. He is so sweet!

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!
