Called To Serve

Well you would ask if I'm really old enough to have a nephew going on a mission? I guess I am old enough. We are only six years apart so don't start thinking I'm older than I am. This is Stuart my oldest and most handsome nephew. I can't believe he is leaving on a mission, where has time gone?

We are all so proud of him and his deciscion to serve the lord .

We will miss him sooo much!

We're excited for you Stu!!

Utica New York is going to LoVe YoU!!!

Finally A New Post!!!

I know it's been forever since I posted and to tell you the truth I haven't had much to say. I realized about a week ago that I have slacked on taking pictures of Olivia. I used to take pictures daily but I've been so busy lately that I haven't even thought about it. So I made sure I got my camera out and took a few snap shots. Since we have been at my sister's, Olivia has found a few new best friends but one in particular, {CHARLEY} She loves this dog so much! They both enjoy looking out the windows and of course Olivia enjoys giving him loves.

Olivia likes to exercise, I always tell her to exercise and she will start moving her arms and legs. She tries to say the word exercise and it pretty much sounds like babble. Here she is doing a push up, pretty good huh? haha

She is really into baskets and bags and loves to take them and hide them

She loves to say CHEESE! Poor thing still doesn't have very much hair:(

Something she finds very entertaining is pulling all the DVD's and Videos out

She has always liked T.V. but since we took the trip to St. George and we let her watch Dora & Diego the whole way, she is obsessed with it. She will sit and watch it all the way through. she goes and gets on the couch, puts a blanket on her and leans back and relaxes.

While in St. George Grandma Kim and Kenzie were nice enough to give her this Monkey that cries and you can put a binky in her mouth to have her stop. She loves it and plays with all day.

We had a great Thanksgiving this year down in good old St. George! There was plenty of yummy food and great company. Unfortunately Olivia was sick the whole time we were there, but Grandma Kim took great care of her. This is Olivia right before dinner, ready to eat. But of course she ate three bites and was done.

After such a great dinner, Kezie read to Olivia, Nicole and Courtney:)

Okay so really only Olivia but I'm pretty sure Nicole was into it to.

Thanks Nuttall family we love all of you!

My LadyBug

Well we had a great Halloween this year! Miss Olivia dressed up as a ladybug and boy was she the cutest ladybug! She didn't have any idea what was going on, she just held her bag while people put stuff in it and then she realized it was good stuff. She loves her some candy and she knows exactly what it is. She was also very interested with all the weird people dressed up, I don't know if she could figure out what was going on.

So after trick-or-treating we had a wonderful dinner at my mom & dad's house. We had yummy soup with bread bowls and later on that night Olivia found her own and carried it around for a while taking little bites out of it.

My sister Emily and Izzy having fun at trunk or treat. Olivia on the other hand is more interested in the candy

Miss Maddy was the Grape Fanta Girl! Izzy was a Rodeo Queen

Here is a wonderful cake that Abby made

And after all the festivites Olivia had to try on the crown of Izzy's

Doesn't she make a good princess?

Lunch Anyone?

For some reason every once and a while Olivia doesn't want her lunch. She will play with it however and seems to make a big mess. This particular day she had carrots and a corn dog { I know not that healthy} and the only thing she enjoyed was the ketchup.

The wonderful mess she made

Not only the face, floor but the hair to

Olivia has recently had to say goodbye to our wonderful, loving dog Lucy:( We all miss her and are happy that she is with a great family! Over the last few months Olivia had become more comfortable with Lucy, well as long as she was on the other side of the fence.

Well as we all said goodbye to a great friend, we also said hello to one! Olivia has a new best friend {ChARleY} my sister Emily's dog.

In Olivia's words "Hi Char Char"

She will follow him around and try to give him loves or receive loves from him. He isn't to keen on giving them as much as her but I know they'll be the best of buds for a long time!ChaR ChAR

I love this picture

ZuCchini BaLL

These aren't the best pictures and by no means do they do justice how funny it was to watch these girls and Owen play Zucchini Ball! The girls were board last Saturday night and so they started what was a friendly game of zucchini ball {zucchini as the bat & tomato's as the ball}! Of course the soft red tomato's ran out and they were forced to use the green ones. Oh it was so funny to watch them play.

You had to hit them with it to get them out @ the end of the game or rather at the end of the tomato fight they were all covered in tomato juice and seeds.

Oh OliviA!!!

Man has Olivia been busy, she never stops going and I really mean never....Oh except when her father pushes the button, sits her in the big lazy boy, puts a nice big fleece blanket on her and flips on some cartoons. This morning while walking downstairs I noticed that it was oddly quite and then I found her nicely tucked in on the chair watching little Einsteins. T.J. has created a T.V. junkie! She will not hold still for anything toys, food you name it, but once that television is on, her eyes are like magnets. Oh I wish I had gotten a picture of it because it was quiet adorable. I'm sure there will plenty more opportunities in the near future.

On another note Olivia is gotten to be such a ham, {daughter like father}. She babbles on and on all day long, some words some not. She has become quite the independent little girl, she climbs onto everything, she has learned to fight somewhat back {not a good thing}, she says juice, and Lucy, yes, and she loves to shake her head in a no fashion.

She has come to really like her horse in her room, and her bike her got for her birthday.
Riding the horse

She loves to climb in and on her bike, yes she opens the lid and stands inside it then gets all happy that she did it.
