Random stuff...

Ava and Grandpa on the moving truck before it was all packed.
Ava and daddy.

Going on a stroll around the temple.

We tried something new with Ava's hair, I thought it was really cute, I only had to re-do it about 500 times by the time Blayne was home to see it.
This is downtown Columbus. We went for a walk by the river and it was BEAUTIFUL!!

Ava's funky do after her bath.
If you look close at her chin you can see her battle wound. We went to a young family ward today, and Ava had her first little boyfriend- hahaha. It started out all hugs and kisses and ended in biting and tears :( The little boy was SO cute, he just got a little excited and bit Ava's face!!!!! She was a trooper though.

Our trip to Kirtland

This river is where they did the baptisms in Kirtland. This whole area was beautiful, and we were surprised how green it was all around.
This was Newell K. Whitney's store.
This was their home, also where Joseph Smith and Emma lived for awhile. It was SO neat to be there and stand in the room that Joseph Smith got a lot of the revelations for the Doctrine & Covenants. It was just an incredible place to be. so many things happened in this area.
This is us at the doors of the Kirtland Temple. Also, below is the Temple. It was beautiful, a much different experience, but still really neat.

Our new apartment...

This is Ava's room. She's been sharing a room with us since she's been born so it's cool that she has her own room now, but it's definitely taking some adjusting.

This is our living room.

This is the little bar that separated the living room and the kitchen. Then below is our kitchen, and our new table.
This is Ava in her new Ohio State rocking chair, she's a little tired, this was right when we got here after being on a plane ALL day!!! She loves that chair, it's really cute.

I'll have some more pictures soon from our trip to Kirtland, and of us going around Columbus a little. This is SO weird, I NEVER thought I would live in Ohio. So far we think it'll be fun while Blayne's in school, but we definitely want to move back west.

Sorry guys, I'm TERRIBLE at updates!!!

Ok, so things have been a little crazy since we are getting ready for our big move to Ohio!!! EXCITING!!!! Blayne and his dad leave on Saturday to start driving there, and then Ava, Blayne's mom and I leave August 2nd to fly. I can't believe the time has come, man time has just flown by!!! Anyway, here are some pictures that we have taken over the last couple of months.

Ava sweats REALLY bad when she sleeps, this was her nice hair-do when she woke up.
This was the first time that we took Ava to the park and let her swing, she loved it.
Ava playing with Dutch while she was here, I'm not sure what Dutch was doing, but Ava was loving it. We miss them SO much!!!
Almost all of the grandkids were in one place, we're missing a niece and 2 step nephews. From left to right- Top Row: Dylan, Karlee, Gabby, Hannah- Babies: Ava, Dutch, Adam- Middle Row: Leah, Sammy, Zack, Whitney, Mia Luna- Front: Jackson, Phoebe.
Our little Patriot- I LOVE IT!!!! For whatever reason, I can't type between the next 4 pictures. Below is our little family on the 4th.

We had an early birthday party for Ava/going away party since we won't be here for her birthday. I made her a hideous cake. We opened presents and let her have her own ugly little cake to dig into. She was a little slow to dive in and we had to help her along, but as you can see, she got the hang of it.

Tons of Pictures!!!!

So, I made Mother's Day cards, and I was pretty proud of them, I made this one for my mom...
and this one for Blayne's mom.
Ok, this was my Mother's Day gift from Blayne, I LOVE this quilt- isn't it AWESOME!!!
Here's just some cute pictures of Ava.

I love her little cheerleasding outfit that her uncle Brad gave her for Christmas!

Now she rides in her stroller like a big girl!!

We had a picnic at the park the other day, it was SO nice!!!


Check out that belly!!!!! She wants to start walking SO bad!! When she climbs up and walks along the couch, she turns around and tries to walk away all the time, but she usually just falls, every once in a while she stands for like a second by herself and then falls.

She was just playing by herself yesterday, and I just thought she looked cute.

Utah Visit... Only about a month late

Sorry, I just LOVE pictures, I'm not huge on writing, hope you all like it!!!

All the newest babies (Me & Ava, Amy & Dutch, Jenny & Adam)
Siblings decided to jump in- Jackson & Phoebe- and everybody wanted to go a little crazy, I think this picture is funny.
Just another cute one.
Man, my mom's talented. I can barely just hold Ava, she's so wiggly, but 2 babies, that's pretty awesome.
Pretty Girl!!! This was after her blessing, that was such a great day!!!

I think this one's ADORABLE!!! It looks like she's curtsying or something!! I LOVE IT!!!

Poor Ava was sick most of the trip, and she was a little fussy, so she had just been crying, which is why her eyes are all red. :(

How great that they're holding hands!!! I think they are just going to love this picture when they are older and great friends!!!
