Quick Trip

Yesterday we made a quick trip to Utah. The kids had appointments up there today- I know I am crazy, driving 2 hours to see a doctor, but we also wanted to see some family.

I met up with two of my gorgeous Sis-In-Laws, and did a little shopping. I was mostly there for the visiting, but I did happen to find an adorable tutu/princess outfit for 7.99- it will be perfect for Ava...she was instantly in love with the wand, and shook it around the entire time.

Since the kiddos were so good we took them to the splash park when we were done shopping. Nathan has never liked water being dumped, or sprayed anywhere hear his head, so I didn't know how he would do. There were lots of kids there, and he adores his cousin Madelyn, so he went for it. He had so much fun. Ava fell asleep on the way there, but woke up shortly after. I was too lazy to go back to the car for her swimsuit, so she played in the water fully clothed, and we both got SOAKED! We miss the Yoder's already, and wish we got to see them more often. After the splash park we headed to Hurricane to see the rest of Tyler's fam. It was nice to see everyone...We love you all!

The appointment for the kids went really well. They are both very healthy. Here are some stats...

Nathan at 4 years:

41 lbs
42 inches

He was so brave for his shots, and I was super glad. Luckily, Tyler was there to hold him. I can't believe how big he is!

Ava at 10 months:

20 lbs 5 oz
29 1/2 inches

She is getting so close to walking! She will just let go and stand up on her own for a long time. And when she is ready to sit she can do it so gracefully. Her hair is also long enough in the back now for REAL pigtail---SO CUTE! She doesn't even fuss when we do her hair, it is a good thing too. Since I do hair, she would just have to "suffer" if she didn't like it. jk

We are glad it was just a quick trip. We forgot the playpen, and Ava is a total crib sleeper, so I was up the enitre night with her...I am SO tired, and looking forward to having us all in our own rooms and beds tonight!

Ava and Halle need to meet and be friends! They are practically the same! So close in age and size, it's crazy!! Haha I love putting piggies in Halle's hair, except for the fact that it makes her look 4!
