::EASTER::

Josh's Parents had everyone over for a Easter BBQ and the annual egg hunt.

This was really the first year Olivia understood what was going on and what to do. She had a BLAST! She ran around and put the eggs in her basket, then when that was full, she started putting them in her Dad's shirt :) I think she took home the haul!

She loved seeing all the little toys that were in her bucket. She got more bubbles and that was the best thing in the world to her:) 

I love being able to watch her.

She is getting so big.

I'm afraid I no longer have a little baby.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

::SPRING::

 Today is the first day of spring!!! Oh boy are we ready for the cold weather to go away and the warm weather to come and stay. The last few days have been wonderful. But of course since today is officially Spring, it is cold and cloudy :) Oh well, I guess we'll just be thankful for all the good days we've had lately.

The last picture shows the ONLY flower we could find to show it was spring!!! At least we found that one.

:: YARD WORK::

We have had a BLAST getting the yard all cleaned up, soaking up the sun, and most of all just getting out of the house!

I can't tell who is more excited about the weather, Livi or Me. We wake up, get dressed, and run outside and come in when the sun starts to go down taking the warmth with it!

Turns out, I LOVE working in the yard! Who knew that it would be so fun and rewarding? Plus I get to use cool tools like the blower, trimmer, and presser washer! Although, I won't be sad if I don't get to rake anymore leaves :)

:: MY LITTLE TROUBLE MAKER ::

Who in the world would think that a little girl could do so much so fast. If I turn around for one minute all toys are dumped out, kitchen cupboards are now on the floor, and she is off to empty the bookcase! Man if I can keep up with her then my day is a success!

A few nights ago, I started the shower and ran to grab a towel from the laundry room. When I returned, this is what i found...

She was having a blast. I love the little surprises I get during the day.

Sometimes I feel like all I blog about is little miss Olivia.

So how are we doing??

Josh: He is an amazing husband and dad. He gets up at 4 in the morning and heads to work and school. Comes home around 630 and then does homework. But after it all he makes sure he helps me with Olivia and spends time with us before bed. 

He is SUPER busy with school work and I sometimes wonder if we'll make it through school with his sanity still in tact! He is very excited for the weather to warm up so he can head outside and work on his car :) He can't wait to show Olivia how to pound on a little metal and get greasy and dirty ( not that he hasn't already instilled a love of tools for her already!).

Kensi: I am excited all my dental work is done on that darn tooth ( knock on wood) after quite a bit of work to get everything healed, I now have a super pretty and VERY expensive tooth:) If I show you.... don't be weirded out ;)

I cannot for the life of me wait for summer to get here. 

I'm excited that Olivia is old enough to really enjoy the summer activities. 

I am excited for The Warners to come and play for a little this year.

And I am even more excited that we'll just be able to get out of this house!!!!!!!!!!

I got released from scouts :) :( mixed feelings.

Olivia: I pretty much post only about her. But still there are things I would love to remember.

She is trying to say EVERYTHING.

i love when she says people's names

guh guh is cuca. bees is bree. ook is luke.

I cannot for the life of me get her to say grandma or grandpa!

She Love to cuddle. All day long if i would let her. Cannot let mom and dad hug with out being squished in the middle.

Yesterday learned how to say mine when you have something she wants! its super cute and I shouldn't encourage her to do it.... but I do. ITS SO CUTE!

Learned how to spin in circles and walk backwards.

Sings along to the song Stay, stay, stay.

Over all, if the dumb snow would melt, we are pretty happy!

I Love our little life:D

QUIET DAY

Most days for us are quiet. If I look on the bright side... it means lots of Mom and Livi time:)

I get to spend my days with this sweet little girl. She is getting much to big, much to fast.

I have to enjoy all the little moments before they pass.

 and we go from smiling to crying in a matter of seconds!

I love our days. I would give up everything if it meant we could stay like this forever. 

Being a Mom is the best in the world! 

CHRISTMAS MORNING

This has by far been my most favorite Christmas EVER! There is nothing more fun than knowing your going to make your Special little one EXTREMELY happy:) 

The whole season has been so much fun. From the looking at christmas lights while hearing her exclaim "oh s#%*!" over and over and OVER again, to the sweetness of her learning who baby jesus was. 

Christmas completely changes when you have a child who can now enjoy in the magic with you.

I have to say.... Santa was very good to Olivia this year. She got quite the haul from him. I guess he got a little to caught up in the fun of making her christmas magic :D

 Josh and I Santa had a BLAST setting everything up for her the night before. We could hardly fall asleep because of the excitement. 

Sometimes I think we never grew up.

 This was my favorite. She bent down and kept giving "beebee" kisses. She would hold her and pat her back and give her hugs:)

Melts ones heart

 She LOVED ripping paper off to see what she had gotten. So much that she had to help Mom with hers. She was not to impressed with my present. But I was!!!

 Once that was done.... She went and played behind the curtains with her baby:)

We ended the morning with a yummy home cooked breakfast. 

Then we headed down to St. George to play with some cousins some more and was even more spoiled down there by some of the Best Grandparents a little girl could ever want ( thanks grandmas and grandpas!). 

All in all. The best Christmas EVER!

PINTEREST PROJECT

I'm not going to lie... I do love me some Pinterest. I love getting ideas that a doable for a simple crafter such as myself. I found this little ugly beauty at the DI for $5. We really needed a new computer chair that was not broken. Dumb chairs are about $40 at the cheapest. So I paid $5 for the fabric with a coupon and 3 for paint.

BEFORE:

 AFTER:

Turned out kinda cute:)

Super simple... take the old fabric off.... staple new fabric on and make your husband take it all apart and put it back together. Voila new cheap chair!
