Having fun at Gameworks

Cute people!

I was so good at this one!

I've been to AZ Mills a few times but never in here...it was a blast!!!

I love coming home...

This is what I find!!!

Farwell to Kensie

Kensie has left us! She moved back to Phoenix and we miss her so much!
We miss hearing about her fun dates, work, the clients and coworkers, ward activities, where she went running that day and a lot more. With Kensie living with us it enabled Cameron and I to get up early and go to the gym together, now after almost 4 years we now have to go separate. The gym was a special time for us to be together and talk...thanks Kensie for helping us do it as long as we did! You will be missed by us, the Beans, Joshie, Anya, Sammamish Valley River Ward, Teresa, McCraken and a whole bunch more!This is a picture of a Farewell party the Beans did for her. It was tough to find a day in the last week of her stay because she was very busy with work, goodbye lunches and packing...but we did it!
We miss you Kensie!

Last Hairdo before she leaves...

My stylist (Kensie) is moving so I decided to go natural! I'm not really good at all the upkeep! Look at these hotties!

Bye bye blond...thanks for coming!

Ava woke up right before I was supposed to get my hair done so she sat on my lap as we checked out the magazine and got my do done!

Tah dah!!! It's a little darker to counteract the blond but it should slowly fade!

Love it Kens, thank you!

Santa at the Ward Christmas Party

Ava freaked out when I tried to put her on his lap this year. We'll be more strategic next year! I just love this Santa, he's soo cute!

14 months old

Ava at 14 months!!! This was probably my toughest photo shoot so far. Now that she's walking half of the shots are just of her back as she runs away from me. The other half are blurry because she's so busy dancing she does not pay any attention to me telling her to hold still and smile. One year olds are still my favorite!!!!

Look at this girl, how can not love this face?!?!

Bribed her to look at me with leafs!

Did I tell you she said Kensie for about a week. Sounded like "Tinsy"...I don't know what happened though now when you ask her to say it she says "Dada", every time!

This was the face I got when I pointed up in the sky...the "what am I looking at" face!

I love the drool in this one. Yes, her bottom row now has an even amount of teeth. 4 on top 4 on bottom now!

Ava is now officially wearing 12 month clothes...Yeahh for that!

She's also starting to try to run it's so funny. One day everywhere she went it was a fast gallops as if she was building up to a run. Soo fun!

Snowflake Lane

In Bellevue was a blast! We went with Rose, Jessica & Dan and Kensie & Josh!
The decorations and drummers were just amazing. If you have not done it go do it. (P.S. Crate and Barrel passes out chocolate covered marshmallows so be sure to stand in front of their shop)Here we are with the snow princess

Dan and Jessica

Snow Queen and King (yes, it is really them)

Ava just loved it...not sure if she loved holding the candy or watching the show more!

These two were cute!

The Ladies -Rose, Kensie, Snow Princess, Jessica and Natalie

Kensie and Joshie

I took all but one succor from Ava on the drive home and this is what I found when we got home. She ate through the wrapper and got sticky uck EVERYWHERE!
