More Pictures!

Here are some more pics of my adorable kids taken outside while cord played ball with ave. SHe is getting so much better at hitting the ball!

Whats New?

So whats new in the Wiltbank home? Oh not much. As some know we just moved...again. The owner of our rental place forclosed on his properties and so we were asked to leave. After about three weeks of stress we got lucky and found a place and moved in. Its a little smaller than our old place but more secure and has three rooms which is nice. Its also right next to our friends Ransom and Katie so the location is great! Id like to give a special thanks to Ransom, paul, Larry, and my mom for helping with the move, and to Katie for watching ave for us you guys really made it all happen thanks so much!!

Right after we moved I got to go on a two week trip, with my mom and my sister in law Megan and her two kids, to Nebraska to visit my sister and then to Oklahoma to go to Jessicas wedding then to vegas to get stuff together for a few days then back home. I swear we spent more time in the car than out of it but im so glad we went. The kids were great in the car suprisingly, and we had a great time. Visiting kenji was great we got to see the girls and go to the Childrens Museum. Ave loved picking Cadi up from school and all the kids had fun playing together. Oklahoma was beautiful. Im sad I didnt get to be by my friends side the whole weekend like I wanted to but Im so glad I got to be there with her for one of the most important days of her life. Jessica you truly are the best friend a girl could have and I am so happy for you! We also got to see Emma, Jannika, Tasha, Kristen, and Doug there. Avery was an excellent flower girl (pictures will be posted after i get them from my mom) and loved Walking down the isle and looking at Jessicas princess dress. She had a little too much fun at the reception and ran herself into a puke, but really it wouldnt have been official if she hadnt. lol
Then we dropped meg off in St george and returned to vegas. We all got sick but still had fun playing with tyson and hanging with aunt CC and Gma and Gpa. Ave was the only one brave enough to go swimming she just jumped right in (with her floaties and tube of course lol) and swam for an hour or two in the very cold water. We got to bring tyson up with us from vegas for the weekend and they had a blast playing while we tried to get the house back together in Provo.

Now we are home and getting ready for the holiday season to begin. Averys Birthday is soon, and she is so ready. She is such a big girl now I cant believe how fast she is growing. She loves to dance all the time and always wants to be in skirts anad dresses that are pink and sparkly. She also loves tools and fixing things and dinosaurs and horses. She cant wait to go riding again Nate! lol Gage is getting his first ooth, its just peeking through. He is 17 lbs now and getting so big. He can sit up all by himself and is really trying to crawl, but he is such a floppy kid. No standing for him he just bends but he can down food like a champ. Avery and Gage are best friends and love eachother so much. Well thats it for now! Hopefully something interesing will happen and i can post again soon.

Family Visits

So a couple weeks ago i got to go down to Vegas to visit family and let Ave do swimming lessons. It was great fun to see my Brother and Sisters and hang out with my nephews. Avery almost got swimming down, she just needs a little more bravery. Tyson was like a fish, he can swim now after two weeks, and "Ringles" did so good considering he just started to like the water a little while ago.

After vegas we got a visit from Gma and Gpa Wiltbank and Trist. It was so much fun to see them and be able to spend time with them. We went to the fair in Spanish fork and had a blast and Nate, trist, velda and steve got to float down the river! We were sad mike and ash couldnt come but hope to see them soon. Here are a few pics of the fun and ill try and post some more soon!

Also gage is rolliong over now both ways! Still working on sitting by himself but hes almost there aand he talks nonstop whether he is saying, "Ba ba bah bah." or screaming or making a raspy ahhhhhhhhhh in the back of his throat he is rarely quite lol.

Fishing and Dancing

So last weekend Cord and I decided to take Avery fishing. We got a tiny fishing pole and she was soo excited the whole week to go and catch a "tiny" fish because, in her words, 'we dont want a GIANT one.' lol So on saturday we packed up the cooler and gear and addi went with Nate, Em, Rans, Katie, and the kids to some river near spanish fork to fish. Even though the river was to fast and the water too high, we had some fun. Addi had a blast running all over and jumping in the water. This freaked ave out a bit since we had been telling her all week she would get swept away if she went in the water so she had a nice freak out when addi went in the water, and thought she was gonna get swept away. She was so worried about addi she wouldnt even try to fish, which was ok since we didnt catch any fish anyways. It was nice though to be outside and be able to be with friends and family.
After the river we tried a reservoir by Emily and Nates house, but that was like a huge beach party since everyone was swimming. The kids and Ransom braved the water though and swam a bit. Trace just loved the water lol. Im glad we all got to go and had so much fun!









The other day I was watching So you Think you can Dance and Glee with Ave and everytime some music came on she would start dancing. She really has some moves lol. Ive got to get her in a dance class. Here are some videos of her dancing.

Family BBQ

So today it was finally Sunshiney, so Emily and Nate decided we should have a BBQ up the canyon. We packed up our food and families and drove to a nice park, kinda busy but the weather was nice (if a little windy). Molly, Tyler and MJay came too. Nate grilled up the food and the guys played frisbee. Trace crawled all over the grass, only to have his hard worked ruined by nate returning him to his starting point. Ave climbed trees, ran around, tried to catch the frisbee, and played with Trace. Gage cried a bit then decided to be happy laying on the grass.

After eating the boys played some mroe frisbee and the girls went over by the stream so avery could throw rocks into the water, and her and trace could put there feet in it. All in all it was avery fun afternoon. Avery had sooooo much fun she fell asleep on the five minute drive home. Gage was out by nine. Thanks Em and Nate for planning a great BBQ!!!
