May 2011 Update Part 2

It was also the Mother/Daughter Activity for Activity days this month, where we did a "T" Party and had lots of fun. We had little chicken salad sandwiches, fruit, veggies, chips and dip and lemonade. We also talked about Temples and Testimonies. We had visited the temple with the girls and they all had a chance to write down their testimonies and those were handed out to their moms at the activity. Those girls are so cute!

It was Bryce’s 16^th birthday and Owens first official hair cut this month as well. As you can tell, Olivea need a cut too.

After... She did such a good job.

Owen on the other hand... DID NOT Like it one bit.

Happy HANDSOME boy after it was all done.

 

 Also, we found out that someone bought our townhouse so we need to move. We have been looking for several weeks and finally found the perfect home, not too far from our current place too. We love it.

May 2011 Update Part 1

This month marks 5 years since my mom had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. So I threw her a surprise party with all her friends and family. It was such a great turnout and she says she was so surprised. That same day happened to be Liz’s baby shower so Mom watched my kids while I went to the shower and then she met me back at the house to see all her friends for the party. 

The car seat cover I made her. With matching burp rags.

The cutest little saying.. "My finger may be little but I can still wrap my Daddy around it"

All the food and friends waiting for my mom to arrive.

We hung up signs that we given to her during her treatment. There was also a display table with some of the items that she received during the hard days. As center pieces on the tables, we put all her hats that she wore once she shaved her head.

Decorated the front lawn with pink and white balloons and my Dad made a "Happy 5 year anniversary" Sign.

Some sweet old friends from the Waterpark

Kallie and Owen. Everyone wore pink in honor of Breast Cancer.

Shelby and Parker

Getting all the invitations made and ready to send out to more then 50 families.

An example of the invitation we sent out. Love those.

April 2011 Update

Garron and I celebrated 3 years of marriage on the 18^th. We dont have any pictures to document and honestly, I cant remember what we did. I think dinner at my favorite, Tepanyaki and we celebrated not being pregnant!!  

And this was Livy’s first official Egg Hunt. Not too many pictures to document unfortunately. But we had fun getting her and Owen gifts from the Easter Bunny and then going to the Ward Egg Hunt. She didnt really understand what to do but she had fun.

My family bought a boat recently so they wanted to go somewhere for spring break and use the boat. So we ventured down to Lake Mead in Vegas, where I stayed with Garrons parents and they were so sweet to watch the kids for 2 days while we went boating. Garron was working in Vegas that week so he took Friday off and came out on the boat with us. The drive down and back was great and Owen didn’t make a peep. 

Riding with Papa on the scooter.

Sweet Owen hanging out in the baby tube.

Swimming at my parents hotel. Livy LOVES swimming and was in heaven.

Garron and Parker (Shelby's Boyfriend) tubing together. They are crazy because the water was FREEZING.

We stopped for lunch on our way out of town.

March 2011 Update Part 2

Continuing with March. 

My birthday was on the 31st and I turned 24. My friend Marci threw a little lunch at her house with some of my friends. It was so nice of Marci and was a great day. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the luncheon. Garron was out of town this time for the big day, but he sent flowers and cake. 

Oh and Olivea can official go to Nursery at church because she is now 18months. WOO HOO. The church is true.

And I guess she can gamble too at 18 Months. Gotta start them young right?!?

March 2011 Update part 1

This month, Garron's brother, Michael, got married. He met Amy on his mission to Leeds, England. So we went down to be a part of the festivities. Congrats you two!

Livy did this most of the time... Run around in the nice heat.

February 2011 Update

My mom's birthday was this month and we celebrated by going out for pizza and then walked around the Provo Beach Resort. Livy had fun playing in the play-place and Owen was content in his car seat. Also, Owen turned 6 Months. Guess it was kind of a low key month but with two babies under 2 nothing is ever "low-key". :)

Owen tried baby cereal, Oatmeal, for the first time. 

He didn’t like it.. um.. AT ALL! 

Little did we know, this was the start of an extremely difficult eater. Since then he only likes milk, cereal, and chicken nuggets. Oh son, what am I going to do with you?!?

 Guess its time to buy boy bibs. We only have girls colors I guess.

 Insert.... 

And Eject...!
