Fun with the Family!!!

My sister Valerie, brother in law Dave, neice Rozlyn, and nephew Scott came to visit from Idaho last week for their spring break. We had lots of fun with them. We spent a day at Irvine Spectrun. Livy rode on the carosaul for the first time. She loved it!

Livy and Mommy

Grandma let Livy play in the sprinklers in the backyard. At first in her clothes, until mommy saw and informed them it was Livy's only outfit!! So then in her diaper!

She had so much fun, got really muddy and wet!!

So of course we had to bathe! Livys favorite thing to do "BAh, Bah"!!

We went to the beach in Balboa, went on the fairy, ate Balboa bars!! ikt was a gorgeous day!! Livy with Rozlyn!

The sand is so much fun!!! I am not sure I love it everywhere, but Livy sure does!!

Rozlyn and Olivia heading to the water, it was unusually warm!!
We had so much fun with the Barnes, thanks for everything!! We love you all!!!

Princess Tea Party

A couple weeks ago we attended a "Princess Tea Party". Norco HS choir puts this on every year. It was so fun!! All the choir kids dress up as princes and princesses. They served little sandwiches, fruit, crackers, cheese, lots of yummy desserts!!!

Kameron & Savannah went also, we sat at the same table.

Livy and mommy

Jinelle Graves, one of my Young Women, was one of the evil step sisters. She was awesome!!!

Livy with Aladin and Mulan. The choir kids performed periodically throughout the lunch. They had darling party favors and crafts. We had a great time.

Olivia's 1 Year Photo...Finally!!!

Well, I never got Livy to take one year pictures. My neices wedding was a month after Livy's year birthday. The photographer at her wedding took this picture, I just got it back, I am calling it her year photo!!!

A balloon...Oh the excitement!!!

Olivia has discovered the excitement of balloons. Every time we see them she must have it!!! Here little arms move about hitting the balloon faster than I have ever seen an arm move!

Daddy and Livy

Olivia also likes to put on mommies shoes, grab a purse and some keys and head for the door, saying, "Bye Mommie".

The world outside, WOW!!!

These shoes are hard to walk in, what's the problem?

In Loving Memory...Grandma Edith Turner

A couple weeks ago, Bobs Grandma passed a way. Grandma Turner was a wonderful woman with a strong testimony of the gospel. She loved her family and she loved the Lord. She was a great example to everyone around her. She will be missed greatly. We know she is in a happier place and will always be with us.

Olivia with cousin Jake.

Aunt Christi and Livy.

It had rained all morning, so Livy and I stayed in the car during the graveside portion. Olivia enjoyed playing in the car.

We love you Grandma.

Livy was a little under the weather Sunday, she started caughing and not feeling good. She still looks adorable in her Sunday dress!!!

The Hunsakers passed down their kitchen to Olivia a couple weeks ago. It is fabulous!! Livy was sleeping when we set it up, when she woke up we walked out of her room she saw it and started giggling out loud. She loves to play in her new kitchen. Thanks Lacey!!!

Finally, a post!

Well, so far, 2009 has been busy. busy, busy!! This is why I have not done a post in so long!! We are back into the swing of things and getting back on our schedule now!!Olivia "hanging out" with Dad while he is detailing a car!! Livy loves to work with Daddy!!

Multi-tasking, doing the puzzle, drinking "ba ba", and making googly eyes at Mom!! Livy is 16 months now, I cannot believe it!! Time flies! She is doing fabulously! Her favorite things are dancing, reading books (over and over), mommy, daddy, doggies, and cats!!! Her favorite words are "No", "What?", "Wow", "Hi Katie", "Ally", "mommy", "Da Da", "ba ba" (which we are trying to get rid of), "Gr-ma", and "Woof"!

She is a climber, on everything!!! Her toys are not for playing with, they are for climbing on!! She has endless energy and is always on the go, keeping her mommy and daddy hopping!!

We spent a week in Arizona staying with my sisters kids while her and her husband went on vacation. There are 3 kids at home, Candace 19, Ryan 16, and Jackson 13. Brittany is away at college - we missed her!!! We had so much fun, they have a cat, George, and a dog, Jake. Livy was in heaven playing in there park like backyard and having all the attention! We also got to spend time with my other sister, Steph, while we were there. Livy got to play with her cousin Luke 4. When she first saw Luke she babbled for a few minutes in her own language and Luke looked at his Mom and said, "I don't know what she's saying"!!! we told him it was OK, because we don't either!!!

Olivia likes to eat a lot, well, most of the time, if her teeth aren't coming in. She loves blueberries, grapes, peanut butter, and all meat!!! Yes she loves meat!! And of course if she can get her hands on some chips, she is very happy!!!
