PLAYING CATCH UP

I decided to take a break from facebook. But if you'd like to see whats going on in our lives i'm going to try and update A LOT more. It seems like facebook took up to much of my time.... so if i'm really that bored I can do other things like play with olivia more, do laundry, and update the blog!

Oh by the way... does anyone know how I can convert my blog into a book? sites?
there are a lot of new posts so keep scrolling and even go to the next page:D

PICNICS ARE LOVED AT OUR HOUSE

Our summers have been filled with walks, eating sticks and rocks, and picnics in the park. Liv and I both love being out side in the cool warm weather. The fact that Parowan isn't very big and the park is just around the corner is a huge plus! Dinner with Josh at the park is also very much needed during the summer. She loves watching the kids play and crawling around.

so full it makes her tired! plus she is in a big girl car seat!

STUCK!!!

HAHAHAHA! I know this might seem mean of me seeing my baby screaming cause she got her head stuck between the couches and running for the camera instead of instantly saving her... but really it was so funny!!!

LAST TIME SITTING ON DADS BIKE:(

Olivia LOVES to do anything that her dad is doing. She loves playing with tools and getting greasy with him. She also loves it when he pulls up on his bike after work and even more when Dad will hold her with him on the bike (no moving around). Josh and I decided it was time to sell the bike since it never got that much use and I like having a husband come home at night:) We cleaned it up and let livs sit on it one last time.

can't you tell by her smile she loves this!? ( i'm holding her don't worry)

OH NO BIG DEAL. LIVI IS JUST A WALKER NOW!

She is still a little wobbly on her feet. But its pretty stinkin cute to see her walk everywhere!

Walkin livi

SWIMMING FUN

We went swimming on the 4th of July with the borrowmans and the bangs. We had so much fun. Livs LOVED it. She floated around in a pool toy while mom and dad played with her. 

"Smile Ava" !

Glauser's were there for a little bit. Its always fun seeing miki!

FIRST CAMPING TRIP AS A FAMILY.

Our ward had a Campout a few weeks ago. We thought it would be fun taking Olivia, setting up the tent, and camping out for the night. Oh were we right! She had a blast the whole time we were there :D We played with water balloons, ate yummy food, and watched a movie under the stars. Her favorite part was being in the tent. We set up a pack-n-play and put her in it while we set up the rest of the bed. She was in pure heaven. Laughing, jumping up and down, and waving to everyone who past while she was in there. She found out crawling around the tent was even better.

Livi on our way up to the camp site.

can you see the pure joy on her face being in the tent!

Josh was the best setting up the tent and putting it all away again. How did I find such a cute guy?!!!

Night time was fun. I got super cold so I figured Livi was cold too. So I pulled her in bed with me. She slept great.... me..... not so much!  Josh informed me the next morning he was super warm all night long, even a little too warm. He slept as good as livi did.... pssshhh. Oh well nap for me when we get home!!!

MISCHIEVOUS GIRL OF MINE

It seems as of late my whole day is spent following Olivia around trying to keep her out of the things she shouldn't be in. Sometimes she gets into them anyways:D She knows to wait until moms hands are in the dishwater or while she is vacuuming or something else.

 Her absolute favorite is to get into Suki's food and tip over the water, dump the food, and proceed to eat her food. I was okay with this, I would stop her, but it was no big deal until i found out what really is in dog food.... 

YUCK!!!

 Did I say her favorite was dog food? Well its also taking the toilet paper off the roll and unrolling it and eating it! It would be fine if i could just roll it back up and put it back, But no... She has to take huge chunks out of the side ruining the whole roll.

Have I told you Olivia that I love you?!

 Next one caught on camera ( you do PLENTY more thats not always captured for life ) Mom just left the fridge open while she got out eggs and cracked them... NO BIGGIE she just grabs the butter and eats it, wrapper and all ( i'm seeing a trend of you eating anything and EVERYTHING!).

 I don't even know how the last one happened. Mom's doing dishes, Turns around to you just standing on the chair. You have NEVER been able to climb onto a chair and haven't been able to do it since... so who knows how you accomplished this one. You just stood there smiling at me like you were so proud of what you just did. I thought it was cute grabbed the camera and took pictures then returned to dishes. 

 When you get really quite and grunt, you are either pooping or doing something you don't want mom to know about yet. Once you accomplish what you want to, you make a loud peeping laugh just to get mom's attention so I can see what you have done. Needless to say I turned at the peeping laugh and you were on the table getting moms flowers:D You make me laugh!
