:: FAMILY PICTURES 2013 ::

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!

Amber Gillette did such a wonderful job taking our pictures:)

 Who could not love this picture of her and her dad!

 I LOVE LOVE this one! She is such a cute and sweet little girl!

:: 2 YEARS ::

I've been waiting to do her two year update until we got our family pictures back.

This girl has made our lives WONDERFUL!

I couldn't imagine what she would be like when I was pregnant....

I never thought it could be this much fun!

She is THE sweetest girl in the whole wide world.

And I love that she looks just like my favorite guy!

At 2 Olivia:

Open doors. 

Loves Mickey Mouse. Sophia. Doc mcdtuffins and tangled. 

Sleeps in her "moo bed" aka new big girl bed. 

. Finally starting to feed herself.  

Loves going places with dad. 

Learning how to ride a trike by herself. 

Gets up in the middle of the night and goes and hangs out in the front room. 

Wears size 3t

Still in diapers. 

Sometimes goes potty on her big girl chair. 

Runs like a maniac

Her hair is finally getting long on top. We had to cut 2inches off just to help it catch up;)

Still throws her self back on the ground when she's mad. 

Says so many things. It's darling. 

Plays by herself I her room now. She can play for hours with her little princess toys and Mickey Mouse toys. 

Loves going to the movie theatre with us!

Is still the biggest cuddler 

Calls herself "deda drace dedan" Oliva Grace Meacham. It's so so cute:)

Tells me she loves me all the time.

:::ONLY A FEW MORE WEEKS LIKE THIS:::

Signs of the cold weather are coming closer and closer together.

Fall seams like it was only a week or two.

Tomorrow it will be in the 50's :(

So, today we took a walk on Liv's new bike down to the park.

It was chilly.

But so fun.

I for one am not ready for winter yet.

We enjoy the outdoors too much to be cooped up all winter.

Dear fall:

Please stay and play

LOVE OLIVIA AND KENSI

:::AUGUST ACCORDING TO MY iPHONE:::

I have SO many pictures on my iPhone that never make it anywhere.

The funny thing is, these pictures, they are the ones that are most true to our everyday life.

So

every month I'm gonna put up my iPhone pictures (the ones that don't make their own post).

1- Ava! She got into the tub of nutella and just dug in with her hands! Livi LOVES ava.... so so much!

2-5- we took Liv to see the petroglyphs at the Parowan Gap. She had fun but has her regular meltdowns too!

6- She found she loves to dress up, couldn't get it off her for days! 7- Her favorite thing to do is sit in the sink and watch the iPad while I get ready :) 8-Found out I am in love with Cupcakes! 9- We had a family movie night and watched Epic. She got chocolate EVERYWHERE! 10- Lexi had her farewell that we got to go down for. She is going to be an AMAZING missionary

1- It rained for almost 3 weeks straight up here. Our days were filled with cuddling and watching lots of movies and playing toys! Best 3 weeks ever! 2- Took Marissa to see the Brigham Young home. I hadn't seen it since 2nd grade... it was fun! 3&4- The Fair came to town! Livi only got one ride since the rain came pouring down. 5 Went with Jessica to take Chris to the airport in Vegas. Made a stop for my very first visit to the Hash House A Go Go. Chicken and waffles for the first time:) Yummy!

6- Made Olivia some cute bags to hold her toys, and some bean bags to play with while it rained:)

7- Livi was obsessed with the frogs on her jammies that BreeAnn gave her! 8- Marissa flew in from Spain for a few months:) took her to eat cupcakes.... she loved them too!

:::BIRTHDAY:::

Olivia had such a fun birthday! 

Josh and I decorated her room the night before with streamers and balloons. 

When she woke up she was so happy! Loved the balloons! I gave her a set of clip princesses to help her last until dad could be there to give her new trike. 

We met Josh in town, got lunch, went to the park and opened her new bike. She LOVED helping josh put it together:)

After, we went home and finger painted and made her birthday cup cakes to celebrate with when dad got home. It was such a fun day making my little girl happy!!!!

He couldn't be there in the morning, so he taped a picture of himself on the wall that she would find when she ran through her door streamers :) 

:::Little fun fact about Kensi:::

   For those of you who don't know me that well. You might be surprised to find out that I am allergic to almost all fresh fruits and veggies. Most of the time I just get bumps on my bottom lip and my throat itches. Some of the time my throat will close up and I can't talk:)

   My awesome husband looked it up online ( I've delt with this since I wAs like 10 and never bothered to find out why) and its pollen in the fruit and veggies. Turns out if I take allergy medicine everyday it goes away!!!

   So this last week I've been eating it like crazy!!! I've always loved almost all of it, but could never eat it without the side effects.

   I am in HEAVEN!! 

   P.S. if you've never tried laughing cow cheese spread, it's yummy and healthy!
