50th FUN

This weekend was my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. it was really fun and crazy with all the kids and adults. Im affraid the only bad part is some kids werent feeling 100%. Tuesday morning avah woke up with a fever i gave her some tylenol and she went back to bed. we got up and went to daycare and work as normal. at 11 i got a call from her daycare asking if we could come get avah because she is misserable laying on the couch and telling the other kids to leave her alone. we couldnt get into the dr till 6pm last night. they told me that with avahs symptoms she has SWINE FLU!!!Avah cant go to daycare till she is 48hr with no fever and no medicine that could mask the fever. the DR said wes and i are ok to go to work as long as we dont have a fever. avah is just resting, watching movies, playing a game on the computer, drinking pedia lite/crystal light mixture and pretty happy. last night at 11 she threw up dinner so we decided the B.R.A.T would probably be best. the dr was really nice and said that it isnt as bad as he thought it would be. i guess one good thing is atleast we are getting it over with early in the fall.

Mommy Daughter Date

Last weekend we had a girls day it was so much fun! Denise, Oakley, Avah and I went to Tia Pan and did a little halloween/fall shopping. Tia Pan is the most awesome store for home decore. Tia Pan is a "mommy store" so Avah and Oak were pretty board and irritate from us saying "don't tuch" "stay with us" ect.... SO when we were finally finished we went to the Tree House Museum IT IS AMAZING!!! I honestly think i might have had more fun than Avah. When you walk in there is this HUGE tree. In the trunk there is a spiral stair case and you can go to different floors that have different activities. Here are some pics of our fun playdate this is Avah in the baby hospital. the girls put on lab coats and were dr's for the babies.its was so fun watching them. this is the music room they have drums,shakers and rattlers and xylaphones on the walls. this is the castle area and these are the 2 princesses. this is Little Britan, this adorable little house is decorated in peter rabit and i LOVE this dress up. I think everyone should take their kids to The Tree House Museum its amazing. There many more rooms that were so fun but these were a few of my favorites. Here is my new favorite quote " IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE INTELLIGENT READ THEM FAIRY TALES, IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE EVEN MORE INTELLIGENT READ THEM MORE FAIRY TALES" ALBERT EINSTIEN.

this past week

i cant believe another week has gone by!!! on tuesday Avah started dance class (ballet and tap) and i LOVE watching her!!! on Thusday i had my cousin Alisha(Dustin's wife) take some pictures of avah and they are going to be ADORABLE!!(anyone in cache valley looking for a photographer call Alisha she does an amazing job). alisha's photography http://alishaphotography.blogspot.com is her website. go see avahs picture and she will have some more soon. this weekend we went to our cabin in Island park it was tons of fun. we didnt do much but we LOVE PLAYING Catch Phrase with the family. we start laughing so hard that we cant stop, i honestly dont think i have ever seen my dad laugh so hard in his life. we got to have colten for the weekend and he was such a sweet boy. we put my little brother brysons football gear on Colten and it fit perfectly... the sad part is Bryson is 12 (a small 12 yr old) and colten is 3. haha the shoulder pads were almost a perfect fit and the helmet was almost too small. anyways there a little tiny look at our week.

new computer

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we got a new computer so i might actually beable to keep up on our blog once again. WOW HAS TIME FLY i can not blieve it is ALREADY AUGUST!!!!!!!!! so a little of what is going on with the MCGUIRES..... Avah is now 3 i cant believe i have a 3 year old. she literally thinks that she is a princess. everyday she wants to wear either a skirt/skort or a dress. sometimes we run out of both and then she is really sad because "then she isnt a real princess". my cousins just moved to Logan and im so excited! i Really hope that we can get together sometime soon. Alisha does a little photography on the side and i want her to take pics of avah soooo bad i just have to figure out a time that would work for both of us. wes has been working A TON OF HOURS and hasnt gotten to do much fishing this summer. ive just been working my normal hrs. for now that will work its getting late and the princess didnt have a nap today

update

it has been a few CRAZY months since i posted....

1. avah is potty trained (except at daycare, she has accidents and i dont know why)
2. yesterday May 29th avah turned 3!!!!!!( this year i did not cry)
3. we were lucky enough to get to take care of Cait and TJs little "special" puppy. he was the last one born and it was quiet a bit later than the others so we think he suffered some brain problems. he was the SWEETEST puppy ever, when he would walk it was usually in circles, he would let me cuddle him and he was super cute (with his big head and googley bug eyes). sadly he wasnt able to be with us that long.
4. avah had a messy acident at daycare and so i put the underpanties(as avah likes to call them) in the toilet to soak. avah came running saying she had to go potty so i told her to go. NEXT THING I KNOW.... SHE WAS BAWLING TO THE POINT SHE COULDNT BREATH. i kept asking what was wrong finally through the sobs and after about 5 mins she was able to tell me that her under panties WENT DOWN THE TOILET!!!!!!!!! wes and i were laughing so hard but avah was sooo upset that we didnt want her to know we thought it was funny. wes found a pair of underwear that kind of looked like the others, he went in the bathroom and got them wet in the sink and HE WAS HER KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOR FOR "GETTING HER PANTIES OUT OF THE TOILET". WE STILL LAUGH ABOUT IT.
5. avah is going to be starting a new daycare/preschool on 6/15 and we are dang excited about it. hopefuly it will help her with the potty going.
6. i got an awesome phone for mothers day. when i put the headphones in i can get radio stations!!! i LOVE it for work!!

well there are a few little highlights of our CRAZY LIFE.
