The Big Drive

I know I'm very behind on doing updates so here is the start of pictures from our California and Utah trip.


We got the girls out of bed and into the car and off we went. I started by taking pictures of us and yelling - We're going to California, We're going to California.


The girls were great in the car. We drove out in Scott's new truck, which made for a fun drive.


Ava and Ameya were patient with me with all the pictures I wanted to take of them. I loved it when they fell asleep - so cute. In these pictures, Ava first stuck her tongue out at me and then the second one started laughing at me.
It was so fun.

Ameya's Haircut

Ameya and I are moving towards our 'summer' haircuts. We both got about 3 inches cut off though Ameya's hair is much longer than mine. We've been talking about cutting her hair shorter for summer but just have not done it. So this last week I got a haircut and Ameya and I decided it was a good time for her as well. So after a bath the other night, I did a quick cut and here is the result.
My Father-in-law, Phil took this great picture of our beautiful Ameya.

A Girl and Her Phone

Ava is fascinated by our cell phones and house phone. Any chance she gets, she grabs one and while running, starts pushing buttons, then puts it up to her ear and starts talking. She now starts most of her calls with Hello and ends them with Good-bye.


It is really scary how young they start watching everything you do and try to mimic it.


These pictures we're taking during our Utah trip while we were at the hotel's pool

Utah Adventures - Scott, Ameya and Ava

While I was attending Women's Conference, Scott and the girls did some fun activities in Salt Lake City. On Saturday I joined the gang and we went to a history museum where there are were of hands-on exhibits for the girls.

Women's Conference

I had a chance to go to Women's Conference again this year. The theme was Strength in the Lord. For two days, I got to hear wonderful speakers and be surrounded by a lot of women. There is definitely strength in numbers. I had a great time and am so grateful that I could attend.

First Snowman of the Season

We have had hardly any snow this winter season and nothing good for a snowman. But a couple weeks back we got some nice wet spring snow. It was the first time the gang could go out and make a snowman. And good thing it was done in the morning because the afternoon sun melted it almost all way. By 2:00pm, our yard was bare of snow except for our fun snowy friend.

Ava - Helping Herself

Scott came down the stairs the other day and found Ava on the table.


She doesn't like drinking out of her cups very often. She sees us drinking out of the 'big' cups and that's what she wants. If we leave any out on the table, Ava is grabbing for them or as you can see, climbing up and getting them.
