More Utah Pics!

Here's a few more pictures of our Utah trip. I just realized I took a ton of pictures on the hike but not very many after that. We had tons of fun! We also went to Swiss days in Heber, they have the best food and boutiques there! President Uchtdorf was there and it was seriously paparazzi in Utah. He was with his wife and they couldn't walk anywhere without people surrounding him and shaking his hand but he was so sweet and kind and stopped to talk to everyone. His wife loved Ava's hair! We got to go to the last buzz game of the year. I can't believe how hot it was. Ava wouldn't sit still of course so my dad decided to take her to the playground and when I went to check on her she was black from head to toe. She was in heaven running around going up and down the slides a million times. I also was able to go to my good friend Deena's baby shower. It was so good seeing old friends and Deena looks so good and I can't wait to meet her little girl!

Timpanogos!!!

Yes, I made yet another trip to Utah. I can never get sick of seeing my family and friends ever!!! This time it was to hike Mt. Timpanogos. A goal my dad made to before he found out he had stage 4 lung cancer and was determined to do no matter the circumstance. My dad is a very determined man and will do anything he sets his mind too. I am so proud of him for accomplishing this goal! I can only imagine how hard it was for him to breathe at that kind of altitude let alone the breaking down the chemotherapy does on his body. He is an amazing man and I am so greatful I was able to be apart of this. Even though I wasn't in tip top shape I was so glad I made it!

We even came across a couple moose. They were only a few feet away from us.

So Beautiful!

The Fair!

It's that time again! I love the greasy fatty food, yummy sweets, rides and people watching! There's always interesting people at the fair! This was the first year Ava could go on any rides. I wasn't sure how she would react but of course she loved every minute! and sobbed when the rides were over! My camera was acting weird so I didn't get a bunch of pics but heres a few!

We met our friends Ryan and Shelly there.

Tj and Ava on the swings

The carousel was her favorite!






She loved the animals!

We even got to see the fireworks!

I am so excited! I have been wanting to win some piggy paint for Ava for a while. Piggy paint is natual, non-toxic, odorless, kid friendly nail polish. I was so happy to hear I won on Heathers cute blog http://www.thefabulousfinds.com/ She has three adorable kids and she does great reviews and giveaways. So go over and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

My parents visit Seattle!

I was so excited when I heard my dad was going to be able to take a "chemo vaction" which means a month or two break from his treatments. I thought it was the perfect timing because it was during Seafair and My dad being a former marine loves the blue angels! So my mom and dad got to come visit for about 5 days. We were on the go constantly but it was so worth it! We even fit in some crab for my dad at pike place, got to do a run around Green Lake, dicks for lunch and lots of trophy cupcakes while they were here. I wish we lived closer it's so hard saying goodbe!

The First Day they were here we decided to watch the blue angels from the I-90 bridge. Wow it was way intense. They fly right over and Ava was freaking out at first because it was so loud! But then she kept saying "mo mo" she loved them!

My mom and dad on the bridge before the show!

All of us on the bridge

The next two days we went and experienced the park. Which is super crowded. They have lots of yummy fatty foods pretty much fair food and lots of booths with freebies and handouts and you can watch the blue angels and hydroplanes from the hill.

Ava loved the "vroom vroom boats" too.

The famous Pike place picture.

My dad!

I nominated my dad for father of the year! I was so hoping we would win! My dad is such a wonderful man I thought he definately deserved this. He is still father of the year in my book! This is the video I made. We won honorable mention. They posted his video and my essay on their website. go check it out! www.5minutesformom.com

The Zoo

I promised Zoey when she came to stay with us we would go to the zoo. I was kinda hoping deep down she would forget but she was too excited about it and kept reminding me. I thought it was a perfect time for us to go since I I hadn't been to the zoo since I moved to Washington. Tj was even able to take the day off to come with us.

Of course we had to ride the carousel.
