Christmas

What a wonderful time of year!! of course as always this is a little late and little short on pictures of the wonderful day but I'm dissatisfied with blogger at the moment and couldn't handle waiting another half hour to upload my pics.

We had a great Christmas season this year, we were able to spend it with lots of family and friends. We are thankful for the love and kindness that our family has shown us this Christmas and the last couple months. We fill very blessed with them in our lives and are grateful for them. We are grateful for the birth of our savior and the wonderful example he is to us.

Olivia didn't quite have the excitement I thought she would with unwrapping presents but she did love all of them.
We were able to spend Christmas eve with TJ's family and had a great time with opening presents and a yummy dinner.
Christmas day we traveled to kaysville to see Tj's family then to Mt Green to see my grandparents and then to my parents house for some food and fun.

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
