Creativity art studio

2012-01-29T18:56:00.001-08:00

We took the girls to a little art studio in Orem to paint ceramics, Libby loved it and Ava was a disaster story of our lives these days. Libby choose to paint a elephant bank it's super cute and she was so precise and careful to paint it perfect. Ava made a little tile with her hand print, it was a very smeared handprint but still cute. I wasn't able to get a picture of Ava since she was a wild girl, we got a couple cute ones of Libby Lou though.

San Francisco & the NINERS!!

2012-01-16T15:37:00.000-08:00

We had such a good time on our weekend getaway to San Francisco to see the 49ers playoff game. We have some of the best friends out there Dani and I have been friends for our whole lives and are so lucky our husbands have such a good time together while entertaining us the whole time. Scott and Steve had the time of their lives what an amazing game to be at and see the 49ers win in the last seconds of the game. We spent a little time wandering around San Francisco, eating good food, laughing, shopping and of course the game we had such a great time and are grateful that we have such fun good friends to spend it with.

New year

2012-01-04T22:35:00.001-08:00

2011 brought lots of good and some bad.
I am excited for a new year and a new start it's so refreshing!

To start my new year off right I have a few resolutions
-GRATITUDE- I am going to start being more grateful for everything around me
- EXERCISE- I started a little before the new year and was doing great but fell off track with the crazy busy schedule.
- TIME- need to better manage my time and what I am doing with it
- HEALTH- I need to work on the health of my little family
These are a few that I think are very simple that I know I can make happen.
I am also working on a bucket list for 2012 things that I want to learn, experience, visit, read or see.

*for 2012 I started a Facebook album called 2012 I am going to post a picture each day, I think it will be fun to look back and see what I was doing that day Saturday nights I am going to post all seven pictures in one post on my blog.

Christmas Morning

2012-01-04T21:45:00.000-08:00

We had such a good Christmas spoiled as always! My girls had so much fun Ava loved tearing through all the wrapping paper. Libberty was so grateful and excited for everything she got and that makes it all worth it. I wish so badly I would have got a picture of my cutie pies and all their loot man were they ever spoiled.

Christmas Eve

2012-01-04T21:36:00.001-08:00

For Christmas Eve we did our normal Grandma Bonnie's house with all of our fun traditions and a yummy dinner. Some of our traditions are the fish pond. Nativity, singing silent night and of course opening fun Christmas eve jammers. I got a few pictures of my girls but Ava is a disaster with pictures these days so I posted the best I could get :(

Little Elf

2011-12-26T19:53:00.001-08:00

We have had all kinds of elf fun around our house since the beginning of December. Our elf fun started when Jingle a special elf came to live with our family and watch over Libby and Ava very carefully. Jingle did all kinds of crazy things he made snow angels in flour, brought homemade orange/raspberry rolls right from Mrs clause's kitchen, cut snowflakes out, and hide in all kinds of places. we can't wait for him to come again next year, Libby especially she was so sad and cried because she missed him and he hadn't even left yet. Our next Elf fun was when Libby's class had a little elf party and sang rudolph to the WHOLE school in an assembly. She makes a pretty cute elf don't you think?

Scott: My family, Gold (if there wasn't gold in the ground I wouldn't have a job), Our home, Friends and the 49ers

Ava: anything she can make a mess with, her blankies, food and bottles

Happy Halloween

How in the world did I manage to forget to blog our Halloween???? For Halloween Ava bug was a lady bug how fitting and Miss Libby was Dorothy she loves puppies and the sparkly shoes made the costume perfect. For years I have wanted to be Jack and Sally from nightmare before Christmas and finally did it this year.

Carving Pumpkins

2011-11-06T07:35:00.000-08:00

We waited till sunday night before Halloween to carve pumpkins it was the only night we were able to make work to be able to have Scott be with us. Libby had so much fun choosing which each of our pumpkins would have carved on them. Ava sat in her high chair and pretty much laughed and yelled at us the whole time.

Pumpkinland

2011-11-06T07:27:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Libby

2011-11-06T07:04:00.000-08:00

Libby had such a hard time making the BIG decision what what theme to choose for her party after lot's of changing her mind she finally decided on TINKERBELL. This year was the first year we did a friend party for her party I had fun coming up with games and activities.

For her party we made fairy gardens before the party I planted grass seed and then everyone got a small Tinkerbell for their garden along with lots of flowers, rocks, jewels and cute bugs to choose from. Thanks to all of our amazing family and friends that came over that evening for cake and ice cream!!

Beach Day

2011-10-04T14:17:00.000-07:00

Our beach day was so NICE we were so ready to relax and have a day of not running around and somewhere to be. We hung out at our hotel, ate good food and hung out at the beach. What a good way to end our vacation!

Legoland

2011-10-04T14:13:00.001-07:00

We had never been to Legoland so we decided this trip to try it out and it proved to be pretty good. I can't believe the things that are built out of legos it's pretty insane. I kept asking are you sure they just don't make it look like these things are made from legos. I had a lot of fun looking at all of it I wish I would have got more pictures of everything.

Seaworld

2011-10-04T13:46:00.000-07:00

We didn't get very many pictures while we were at Seaworld :( so here are just a few. We always love going to Seaworld Libby loves animals of any sort so she always loves this since these are animals we don't often get to see. Ava had a lot of fun at the shows I didn't think she would pay attention much but she did and loved it.

American Girl Doll

2011-10-02T21:41:00.000-07:00

I never imagined a trip to the American Girl Doll store would make Libby sooooo excited.

Libby repeated multiple times that she was in doll heaven, she completly giggled the whole way through the store. I can't even begin to explain how happy I was to see her that happy and how cute, excited and grateful she was.

Libby choose Kanani she is the Girl of the Year she also got some cute outfits, breakfast in bed tray and a ukele set for her doll.

Disneyland

2011-10-02T21:13:00.001-07:00

We had such a fun trip we visited The American Girl doll store, Sea World, Legoland, and of course Disneyland.

These are some of the CUTE pictures from DISNEYLAND!!

My girls were so much fun they both acted so good and loved everything around them.

Libby loved having an autograph book and meeting all the charcters and getting pictures with them she is mesmerized by the princesses. She loved splash mountain she asked over and over again to go on it, Tower and Terror was another story we couldn't even get her to try it.

Ava had so much fun on the rides watching all the colors and music around her, she also loved meeting Winnie the Pooh and Tigger she kept kissing tigger.

Kindergarten

2011-09-05T13:28:00.000-07:00

Libby Lou started kindergarten on August 29th

I seriously can't believe how big she is I was so sad dropping her off just thinking about how old she is and how the next 6 years are going to fly just as fast and pretty soon she will be all grown up.

She was a little nervous going in she was trying so hard not to cry, right when we walked in the door 2 little girls one that lives by us and one from her new primary class both said Hi Libberty and her teacher walked right over gave her a great big hug and told her how happy she was that Libby came and that she has been so excited to get to know her better. I can already tell she has an amazing cute teacher that really LOVES being a teacher I think good teachers can make or break school for kids. I am so excited for Libby to love and enjoy school and meet so many new friends.

Ava is going to be 1

2011-09-05T12:51:00.001-07:00

We took Miss Ava to get some pictures done for her first birthday with cake, balloons and of course a cute tutu!! I love the pictures we had so much fun we took a GIANT cupcake for Ava to dig into and get as messy as possible, that never happened the most she got into the cake was just hand fulls to her mouth she didn't destroy the cake one bit just had a few tastes and then was done and ready to be clean.

Walking

2011-07-31T11:54:00.001-07:00

Ava is so close to walking she started taking steps about 2 weeks ago and now is walking across the room it's such a bitter sweet thing so fun to watch but so sad she is getting so big!!

The ZOO

2011-07-31T11:32:00.000-07:00

Scott's work had an awesome family day at the Zoo, there was face painting, LOTS of shows and food. We had so much fun spending the day at the Zoo Allie and Zachery joined us! Please notice that at the beginning of the day Ava had a cute headband but towards the end of the day it was gone I can not keep a headband on her and it drives me NUTS!!

Ava

2011-07-10T09:28:00.000-07:00

I haven't done a post about Ava in awhile because things slowed down a tiny bit with her GROWING well that didn't last long I can not believe how much she has learned from 7 months to 9 months.

- Waves hi and bye

-Claps at everything, every time someone says yay she giggles and claps

-She finally has her 2 bottom teeth

- Blows kisses

- Says uh-oh, hi, mama, and dada

-points at me and says no no no when she is getting into things :)

- Somedays she is sooo close to walking and others she wants nothing to do with it.

- LOVES dolls, it's the cutest thing ever she hugs them kisses them and hollers at them.

-Bedtime is at about 9pm she wakes up at 3 for a bottle and is usually back to sleep until about 8am.

-She is seriously such a good baby so relaxed and happy all the time.

We had lots of fun Ava didn't like sleeping much that was kind of a disaster but other than that she did great and Libby was in heaven with cousins and dirt.

Living Planet Aquarium

2011-06-06T11:51:00.000-07:00

We decided to get the kids out and do something fun our orginal plan was to go to thanksgiving point farm country but when we got there it was FREEZING outside!! The living planet aquarium is sooo fun and neat they have so many different things to see and do! We got to see an 11 foot anaconda get fed yikes!! If you haven't been to living planet aquarium it's a must go and it's really not to far away. Ava was very interested in the penguins they were jumping in and out of the water and playing it was fun to watch. Libby's favorite was probably the sea horses she loves horses and she loves little things so a sea horse would be a dream pet for her!

Preschool Gradution

2011-06-06T11:46:00.001-07:00

Libby graduated preschool she is getting so big so fast!! She learned so much in school her teachers were amazing! Libby can write all her letters and her numbers she writes her own name and recognizes a few words to read. Libby's biggest improvement this year was coming out of her little shell. We are so proud of her she is such a blessing in our lives! I love you miss lou!

Ava's giggle

2011-05-29T21:21:00.000-07:00

Playhouse

2011-05-29T20:45:00.001-07:00

We have wanted to get Libby something fun for outside for sooo long!!! Our backyard is very small for much of anything but we finally came across this playhouse. Libby fell in love with it the minute she saw it and I knew we had to get it. She has loved playing in it the few times she has been able to let's hope summer can get here so she can spend more time playing in it!

BEST FRIENDS EVER!!!!

Me and Amy took off friday morning to meet Erica and Dani in vegas for the weekend!! We seriously had so much fun we had a perfect group to go with we laughed all weekend long usually about things that were far from funny. We did so much in the few days we were there we went to the M&M factory, the Coke factor, LOTS OF FUN SHOPPING, good food, Phantom of the opera, NYNY roller coaster and a little slot machines (i lost a whole $3 haha).

This is a Photo we took after Phantom this one turned out after about 50 tries but it was so worth all the laughing along the way.

The Coke factory taste testers from around the world!

Camera Love

2011-03-03T11:20:00.000-08:00

Libberty LOVES my camera she tends to take off with it and then there seems to be lots of pictures very similar to this one. She loves to pose for the camera!! Libberty is such a big helper she loves her sister and loves to help with her. We started a job chart for her and she does so good keeping up with it she earns a quarter for every square she marks off (my cute friend amy made the cutest chart ever) some of her jobs are feeding and watering lucy, homework, making her bed, and picking up her toys. Libby has been learning so much in school she can write her name so good now she wanted to learn Libberty rather than Libby and it's been a hard one. I am so proud of her and the amazing little girl she is!!

We were Lucky enough to have a couple Thanksgiving dinner/lunches to spend with all of our family. Thanksgiving day we got to go visit Grandma Bonnie's house and Grandpa Jeff, Aunt Bonnie came for a little visit so we had a dinner on Wednesday before thanksgiving with her and Grandma Janine. We had a fun year and we are so grateful for all our family. I only took one picture on thanksgiving and it was of little Ava bug in her thanksgiving outfit.

2 Months old!!

2010-11-22T14:15:00.000-08:00

I can't believe Ava is already 2 months old it has gone by so fast!! She has her 2 month check up on the 30th of this month I am excited to see where she is at with weight and height. Ava Bug

~Sleeping has been so nice the last couple weeks she is finally sleeping for 3 and sometimes if we are lucky 4 hours.

~Ava is now eating 5 ounces it won't take long for her to be a chunky monkey!

~She loves to be held she can be sound asleep in my arms and as soon as I put her down she gets fussy and wants to held again to sleep. I don't get much done around the house.

~She has started cooing and smiling great big when we talk to her.

~She still loves the pacifier if she doesn't have it she finds her thumb!!!

~Just the last couple days she has started to wear her 0-3 month clothes newborn is starting to get a little snug, she is kind of in between sizes.

Halloween

2010-11-22T13:58:00.000-08:00

This year for Halloween we did trunk or treat with Jacque and Paige's ward, Visited all the Grandparents and then took Libby Trick or Treating all over she made out with a whole bunch of candy! Libby was so excited to be a WITCH for Halloween and have Ava as her little BLACK CAT! Scott and I have always dressed up this year was a little last moment dressing up but we still had fun dressing in 49er jerseys.

Pumpkin Carving

2010-11-13T21:34:00.000-08:00

We carved pumpkins this year just the 4 of us and had a lot of fun just spending time together. Libby drew her cute pumpkin face and Scott helped her carve it. Ava picked out the scared face and I carved it for her haha.

Scotty bear

2010-10-25T17:50:00.000-07:00

What in the world would I do without my Scott he is the most AMAZING husband and daddy!! Ava hasn't been the greatest sleeper or maybe I just require a lot of sleep either way I wouldn't be functioning without Scott he has stayed up with her through out the night a number of times and let me take plenty of naps. Scott is always so cute with babies but even more so with his own babies it's fun to watch how much he loves them. Libby is such a daddy's girl she always wants to play with him, he is so good to sit in her room and play Barbie's with her. When Scott is working he is always wanting me to send pictures of his girls and calls to talk to Libby it's the highlight of Libby's night. Libby always asks is it dad's last night of work tonight and gets so excited when it is. I am so grateful to have such a hardworking hubby so I can stay home with our girls and not miss a minute of their lives.

Pumpkin Patch

2010-10-25T17:37:00.000-07:00

Libby's preschool class went to a Pumpkin Patch in orem. They learned about the different pumpkins, gourds and vegtables they also got to see lots of animals after a little bit of learning they got to run and play. Libby is going to preschool with her cousin Tyson they call each other best friends and love spending the time together. She has such a fun preschool class and teacher she has enjoyed going to school and can hardly stand the weekends.

One month old already?

2010-10-25T17:09:00.000-07:00

Ava is getting big so fast the time sure goes by a lot quicker when you have a little baby to enjoy rather than being pregnant. I took these pictures on October 17th so she was exactly one month old.

Ava Bug

~Knows Libby's and Daddy's voices and loves when they talk to her she tries so hard to talk back.

~Pacifier what in the world would we do without these amazing things Ava has to have her pacifier without it she gets very cranky. We finally switched from the hospitals ones they were getting a little small for her mouth.

~The only time she gets really fussy is when she is hungry and or needs her diaper changed.

~I never know how many ounces to make when she is hungry because every feeding is different usually we stick with 4 ounces.

~She loves her bouncer I am so glad we have it so far that is the only she has slept in since we brought her home from the hospital.

~She is pretty strong she is always holding her head up by her self and looking all over.

~She loves to cuddle and be held.

~She hasn't figured out the sleeping thing yet but other than that she is a super easy baby.

First Bath!

2010-10-25T17:03:00.001-07:00

We gave Ava her first bath a few weeks back her and Libby Lou both loved it. Libby insists on helping us bath her every bath I don't think Scott and I get to help much. Ava loves to just hanging out in the warm bath water. We are still figuring out how to really get her clean since she pees everytime we put her in the water if we change the water she just pees again. We are loving having Ava in our family and Libby loves being a big sister she has been such a big helper.

Happy Birthday!

2010-10-13T20:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Beautiful!!!! Libby turned 5 years old, I can't even believe it she is getting so big. Time has gone by so fast it is such a bitter sweet thing it's so fun to watch her grow up but my baby isn't a baby anymore. Libby started preschool this year and is doing so good she has already learned so much and loves it. Libby also loves being a big sister there have been a few adjustments but loves her sister so much and is such a big helper.

Announcement

2010-09-28T16:21:00.001-07:00

We took Libby and Ava to a photo studio in the university mall called Photo Works Studio it's across from build a bear. They did such a good job I was so happy with all the pictures and the prices. They made this announcement I love it let me know if you want one I am going to get them sent out here pretty soon.

10 day old pictures!!

2010-09-28T16:09:00.000-07:00

Ava 9.17.2010

2010-09-25T17:04:00.000-07:00

Ava is here safe and sound and we could not be any happier!! I was scheduled to be induced on thursday the 16th we waited for a phone call and never got one so at around 9am Scott called Labor and Delivery and asked what was going on and they said come in. We were both so excited BUT when we got there we got some bad news they were full and couldn't admit me AHHHHH!!! I was pretty upset since we never got a call and then when they told us to come in they sent us home what a disaster. Friday the 17th we got a phone call at 5:30am they told us to come on in thank goodness when we got there they admitted me pretty quick. They started my IV's at 8:30am and came in with the pitocin at about 9:00am I was dialted to a 4 for awhile I decided to get my epidural before the Doctor came and broke my water. At 11:30am the Doctor came and broke my water and the nurse said she would be back in about an hour to check on my progression. I started to feel a lot of pain and told Scott the contractions must be getting hard because they HURT!!! I couldn't take the pain anymore so we called the nurse it was 12:50 and she said it was time to push what in the world just an hour ago I was at a four no wonder my epidural had completly worn off. They paged the Doctor I started pushing at 1:00pm and our BEAUTIFUL little girl arrived at 1:11pm weighing 6lbs 11oz and 20 perfect inches long.

First Day of Preschool

2010-09-09T07:40:00.000-07:00

Libby's first day of Preschool!!! She was so EXCITED to go and when she got there she ran right in sat down and couldn't wait for things to start. When Libby came home I asked her how her day went and she said that it was so much fun that she got to hop like a frog, crawl, run, color, play with puzzles, have some playtime, eat a snack, and have show and tell. I am so glad she went and had so much fun we were a little worried since in her five years of life she hasn't really been left anywhere except with family. I think that it was the longest 3 hours of my life though I missed her so much I worried she was getting sad or not having fun and was so nervous about if she was ok. I am thinking I had a harder time than she did she can't wait to go back tomorrow.

Baby Shower

2010-09-07T12:41:00.000-07:00

So I finally found my camera cord thank goodness!!! Here are a few pictures I got from the shower it turned out so cute and so PERFECT. I loved all the fun pink food and lemonade and balloons, pink is my favorite color so of course I loved it and love that I am having a girl. I got so many fun gifts from everyone and wish that I would have snapped a picture of all the cute gifts. My Grandma Bonnie made the quilt for Ava such an awesome keepsake for her from her Great Grandma. Again thanks to Dani for all her hard work and house and to my my mom for all her hard work you guys are the best.

Name

2010-07-17T21:14:00.000-07:00

So we have finally agreed on the name we will be using for our sweet new baby!! We hope it will stay since I have a little Project I am making for her room that uses her name but ya never know I may hear another name we choose or we might see her and decide on something different but for now we are pretty certain on this name.

AVA MEREDITH HUGEL

We only have 68 days until her due date and we sure do hope that she will come and not be as stubborn as little Libby I went 7 days over with Libby and was MISERABLE for those 7 days. We are so excited to meet to her!! We are getting her nursery put together slowly but it's getting there we are still working on trying to find some good bedding. My Grandma Bonnie is making a BEAUTIFUL quilt that will always be a keepsake and we are trying to find solid bedding to match the prints and colors of it and haven't had much luck. I will post pictures of her nursery as soon as we get it all put together I am hoping we can get it put together in the next few weeks so we can be already. I am also trying to remember what needs to be packed in my hospital bag I know how awful I can't even remember so any suggestions are welcome to get my mind flowing. What in the world do I wear home? I know it seems silly but I dunno what to wear home such dumb little things to stress about but if you know me you know I always stress about silly little things and never the big things that are worth stressing over. We are getting super excited check back soon hopefully we will have some pictures posted of the nursery!

California

2010-07-04T20:37:00.000-07:00

This post has taken me forever to post because I knew I had so many pictures I want to post that it would take awhile to upload them all so here it is FINALLY!! We headed to California in the middle of June we left and drove with Janine (Scott's Mom) and the kids to Santa Cruz we stayed with Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Bob we were also lucky that Ashley and Keoni came and spent time with us as well. Aunt Bonnie kept us well fed with lots of yummy food she also kept us busy with all kinds of fun things we got to go to 2 different beaches, Bowling, the Boardwalk, a triple A baseball game and to my request she took us to China Town. I loved the Beach so much fun to relax and enjoy the sun Libby loved playing in the sand. We had so much fun with all the fun things we got to do. After spending the first few days in Santa Cruz we headed to Vacaville to spend sometime with the Hugel side of the family we started out by going to Discovery Kingdom. Libby got to feed an Elephant, Giraffe, and Dolphin she also got ride on some fun rides and watch some awesome animal shows. Nathan Graduated high school so the next day we went to his Graduation and then off we went camping. I didn't get very many pictures while boating and camping but we had lots of fun Libby loved going on boat rides and playing in the water while we were camping she also LOVED the s'mores but really who doesn't love s'mores. We had so much fun on our vacation thanks to everyone who kept us well entertained and kept our belly's full. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Reno/Virgina City

2010-06-26T20:09:00.000-07:00

I really meant for these posts to be a little closer since I am so far behind but seriously it's summer there are so many other things I would rather be out doing than blogging but I will try and get it all caught up soon. The middle of May I headed to Reno with Libby and my Grandma to help Grandma with the Metcalf kiddo's so Aunt Missy and Uncle Ty could go on an Alaskan cruise for their wedding anniversary. We got to go see Virgina city with the whole family after Ty and Missy got home and Grandpa and Scott got there it was so much fun such a fun little town with fun stores lots of fun antiques and a candy store that I loved. Libby and Scott went on a tour of a mine they both loved I decided I would take a tour of the mine next time it didn't sound to fun being pregnant and all. We had so much fun thanks to Ty and Missy!!

MIA

2010-06-18T08:34:00.000-07:00

I have been MIA I haven't posted in so long but the reason is because there has been lots going on so I have lots to post now. The beginning of May I headed for San Francisco with my Mom, Grandma and Aunts for a girls getaway. While we were there we went on a boat tour under the Golden Gate Bridge, saw Wicked and went to the Muir Woods. We had so much fun it was a much needed getaway for all of us here are a few pictures I took Please ignore mine and my Mom's hair the wind was out of control on the boat tour.

Feeding the Ducks

2010-04-27T08:08:00.001-07:00

We took Libby the feed the ducks a couple weeks ago she had a lot of fun she loves going to feed the ducks. I always get a little worried some of the ducks freak me out they get way to close so we only go when Scott can go with us!! This is a fun picture of Libby having fun feeding the ducks.

Baby stuff!!

2010-04-22T20:35:00.000-07:00

We were so excited to know what we were having we couldn't wait to get all the fun stuff like a Crib and Dresser and Stroller with a Carseat. Almost everything I bought is super girly with pinks or flowers or something that you wouldn't want to put your little boy in. We are super excited to have a little girl but the last week or so I have been super NERVOUS that when we go to my 20 week ultrasound they are going to tell me it's a BOY!! Don't get me wrong we would be super excited to have a little boy but I am a little concerned about the stuff we have bought already I guess I jumped the gun a little and should have been a little more patient but if you know me I don't have any patience what so ever. I guess since I have boy stuff all picked out already then we will just get to go shopping all over again after we have a day of returning things lol. We will keep you all posted on how our Dr ultrasound goes in a couple weeks.

Art

2010-04-16T20:34:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago when it was so freezing outside still I decide I would get some fun little projects to keep Libby busy. We made some bugs out of egg cartons, paint and pipe cleaners. I also bought her a wooden bee and tulip she could have fun painting. She is such a good little artist and had such a fun time.
