Camping!

Olivia's first camping trip!!

Bedtime stories!

Boating at Hyrum lake!

On our way....we got lost:( but then we made it!!!

So this weekend Olivia went on her first camping trip and we took out the tent trailor for the first time(thanks again becky:) It was amazing Olivia loves being outside so she did great and Gracie has always been a little camper she loves it! We went up on thursday to Hyrum lake and then came home on saturday after boating. I HATE camping until....the tent trailor! What a difference we all had a comfortable bed to sleep in off the floor!! We are already planning the next trip because we all had so much fun although my house is still reflecting the trip:( I am offically doing the last load of laundry and the trailor is now clean for the next trip!

Birthday!!

Yes I turned 24 on Friday and I have to admit every birthday tops the one before. My hubby made my day amazing by taking the day off work and taking me to breakfast and then my favorite thing shopping at the mall!! Then we went and had a BBQ at my moms and swam in her pool..then dinner that night. Mike surprised me with buying me a ton of stuff for my home salon once i actually graduate:( Then he bought me whatever cloths I wanted and didn't ask how much:) And of course my new car which was an early present but still my favorite!! I have an amazing family and between my mom and husband they always do so much to give me an amazing birthday!

2 Months

Olivia had her two month check up and aside from the terrible shots she is healthy and growing! She was 9lbs which is in the 15th percentile and 21 1/2 inches long 25th percentile and her head was in the 10th percentile which is almost exactly how Gracie has been her whole life they are lucky tall and slender little peanuts even though Olivia seems so chubby right now:) Gracie had tears in her eyes when they talked about giving her shots and she asked if she could go in the hall...it was adorable to see her love and care about her sister so much! I love both my girls so much and being a mother, sometimes challenging, is the most rewarding thing i have ever done.

Fireworks at Weber State

I love Weber State fireworks and it is a family tradition to go every year. Olivia wasn't scared by the fireworks at all and Gracie always has a blast!

Fourth of July Weekend

Wow what a busy weekend...We blessed our beautiful baby Olivia on Sunday and it turned out perfect. We had friends and family around us to celebrate our perfect day and it meant so much to have everyones support. Mike did an amazing job on the blessing and I am so grateful to him and the amazing dad he is! On Monday was the fourth of July and it was so much fun. We went to breakfast with the girls and then went to Layton park where gracie rode the train and spent as much money as she could in an hour:) Then we went to a BBQ in Mt. Green and swam with cousins then made it down to kaysville for dinner and fireworks with my family. It was such a fun day but we are ready to have life slow down again. Olivia is still a perfect baby she never cries and is sleeping between seven and nine hours at night. Gracie loves her sister and has yet to show any jealousy toward her and always wants to hold her and be the big sister. I love being a mom of two and life could just not get any better right now!

Arrived May 17, 2011

6 lbs. 13 oz. 20 inches long

Olivia is finally here!! I woke up on tuesday morning and went to school and I came home and around two oclock starting having some contractions. I decided to go for a walk to maybe help them along and by three I decided i better pack my bags for the hospital by four i called Mike and told him we needed to go to the hospital so he headed home from work and by the time he got home i had really progressed so we headed for the hospital and we checked in around six i was a four and ninety percent effaced so they broke my water and things just started to happen. Around nine fourty five I was ready to start pushing and with three pushes our perfect baby Olivia arrived. The cord was around her neck twice but thanks to an amazing doctor everything was fine. We have had lots of loved ones to visit and we are so greatful to friends and family we have felt so blessed and want to thank everyone for everything. We came home from the hospital on thursday and she has been a perfect baby. She is currently going five hours at night and never cries. My Gracie is doing great its always hard to change but she is doing so much better than i thought she would. She loves her baby and is so helpful. Our life feels so perfect right now i wish i could freeze time and stay in this moment.
