Snow..

During the first big snow storm in December we took Ava out in her new snowsuit. She wasn't sure about it. At least she didn't cry I guess.

She was alot happier when daddy held her.

Here we are in front of our Christmas tree. This was right before my work Christmas party. I loved Ava's outfit for Christmas from Baby Gap, the shoes, dress and bow she looked like a little snow flake! Love her

Temple Square

We went up to see the Christmas lights the weekend before Christms. We went up with Josh and Britney. It was pretty but really cold.
Ava was bundled up So warm in her stroller so I think she was the warmest one in our group.

We asked some random lady walking by to take this pic, and she managed to make it blurry and have part of her furry white glove in the bottom. Hahah nice.

Here we are at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Great views.

Family Pictures

These pics were all take by one of my bestest friends Alisha from Avery Photograpy. She did such an incredible job. I really love the way she captured our little family. We took these in November while there were still leaves and before the snow really started.

November Fun

Here are just some highlights from November 09.

Below was the second time we took Ava out to eat with us. We took her to our fav place Texas Roadhouse. She even got to sit in her very own booster seat! She had a blast. We shared all our food with her.
And she even learned how to drink out of a STRAW this night. It was so cute and funny to watch her.

The below pic was on Thanksgiving. This year we spent it at my inlaws house in Springville. It was such a good meal and fun to get together will his family. We were outside shooting off potatos out of this launch thing. It was pretty cool. We only got one pic and I have no idea where I am looking. But it's cute of Russ and Ava so I am posting it.

Aww my too favs:)

Here is just a random pic we put some fake eyelashes on her. She looks so funny. haha

This night we went cosmic bowling with Josh and Britne (Russell's younger brother and sis-in-law.) They are such an awesome couple. We always have so much fun with them.

Me, Britt and Ava :)

Happy Halloween

Okay so I do realize Halloween was forever ago but.. I have been neglecting my blog and I have so much to post. So Enjoy :)

Here is Russell and I at a Halloween party. He was Jack Sparrow- the Pirate and I was VS Angel.
On Halloween we took Ava trick-or-treating in Russell's bosses gated community. All the houses were decorated to the nines, all out. It was incredible. Below is a pic of Russ showing Ava a gigantic spider.

Below is me and Ava at my work Halloween party. She got SO much attention. Everyone just loved her. She looked so adorable as my little lion. I was Strawberry Girl. I already had the costume from a few years ago.

Again here we are trick-or-treating on Halloween. We took his bosses daugher and her friend. She is the dark haired girl. She is such a cutie.

On Halloween night I was Esmerelda, the gypsy princess from Hunchback of Notre Dame. This Halloween I had a bunch of different costumes.

Here is our little lion. ROARRR>>

At my work party they had a Jack Sparrow impersonator. He was so good. Everything about him- the way he talked, his mannerisms, everything was just like Johnny Depp. I even asked him to hold Ava for a pic. I thought she would cry. But amazingly she was okay with him.

My little munchkin.. Love you baby girl !!

Another pic at my work party

Here are just a couple more of here. I just LOVED her little costume. I borrowed the bodice and headdress from a friend. And then I wanted to make it more girly so I bought the pink shirt and polka dot tight to it. The tan boots I already had and I just loved how they matched perfectly and really finished the look.

All in all we had a GREAT Halloween. It was just so much fun. We ended up with TONZ of candy from all the trick or treating and of course since she was a bit young for all that we ate it instead. Although I did share some stuff with her. She LOVED pixie sticks. I would just dump some of the sugar on her tongue. She quickly learned as soon as she saw it to open up her mouth and stick out her tongue. It was pretty funny. And I shared a couple lolly pops with her too. Next Halloween she should be able to actually eat more of the candy she begs for. haha Until next year...
