Lots of birthdays this month! I'm trying to make sure I start posting for everyone...sorry if I missed you!

Happy Birthday Uncle Camron!

Happy Birthday to Uncle Camron! He turned the big 17 this month. He is such an amazing uncle to the girls!! Look at how cute he is...we love him so much!! I love this picture of he and Gabi...so sweet!

Happy Easter!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

Hunting for Eggs is so fun!

Olivia got seriously hooked up today at our Easter Egg Hunt. Grandma went a little overboard which made it so fun for Olivia to find all her eggs and her basket full of presents. We hid everything out in their back yard and she was having a ball filling up her basket and then dumping it in the middle of the lawn before she loaded up again! She saw the Easter basket, ran over and shouted, "Look, I got a present!" You should of seen us packing up the car to drive home...RIDICULOUS! We had so much fun!!

Starting Easter early!

Gabi had her first Melba toast today and ate the whole thing...its basically the only food I've gotten her to eat! We spent most of the weekend up at K.C.'s family's house. Uncle Jared and Aunt Nicole are back for good from Seattle and we are so happy to have everyone together again!!

All Grins!

Well, let me just tell you, this child NEVER stops smiling! Whether she is in the bath, in her exersaucer, playing with toys, or in her crib...she is always happy! Here are a few pics I was able to get with my phone since I have yet to buy another camera!!

Strike a Pose!

We went up to Park City the other night. At the outlets they have a new Gap just for kids and infants. It just opened and it is full of awesome stuff at great deals! We went in to check it out and I found a cute dress in Olivia's size. I have to take her with me now to buy clothes because she is SO particular about what she wears. I showed her the dress and then walked away looking at other stuff. I turned around not even 2 MINUTES later and she had stripped off all her clothes and had put the dress on...tags and all! Then she walked up to me and put her foot out and said, "Mom, I love this dress. Take the tags off, lets buy it!" Uh...what will I do when she is 16? HELP!! I got this little dress from an awesome boutique in Sugarhouse called 4 and 20 Sailors...STAY AWAY...its way too cute and pricey!!

Gabi 6 months old

I took Gabi in for her 6 month check up. She is 95th percentile for weight, weighing in at 18 1/2 lbs! She was 75th percentile for length and 90th for her head size. Poor baby had to get 5 shots and she was so good! The doctor still had no tips for me on how to get her to take a bottle and she won't eat food either!! I've got my work cut out for me with this one. I guess she wants to stick with the straight cream she gets from me!

Tagged by Holly!

I love reading these on your blogs, so I guess I'll actually fill one out since Holly tagged me!

What you were doing 10 years ago?
Well, that would put me at age 18. So, I was in my senior year of high school about to graduate and go off to college. I was working with my Mom at her business as a "work study" where I got school credit and basically got to come home by 1 everyday. I definitely wasn't doing any work! I was in my final season of High School soccer about to hit a hard reality in the world of college athletics. I was definitely having more fun than I'll admit to and about to go to Senior Week in Myrtle Beach....those were some fun times!!


5 things on my to do list today (only 5?)

1. Workout ( a necessity..missing my workout partner!!)
2. Work (Crazy this may not last much longer...I think I'll miss it!)
3. Drive to Park City to take back stuff and hit all the good kids stores
4. Clean up after my 2 wild girls (this includes bathing, changing a million blowouts from Gabi, washing about 4 loads of laundry...thanks to Gabi, putting the girls to bed...please cooperate Olivia, and basically holding down the fort since K.C. had to go to Cali today..poor thing..he gets to be in 75 degree weather while I'm freezing!
5. I must watch my Biggest Loser Episode from last night...TIVO BABY!


6 snacks I enjoy
Unlike Holly, I snack all day long plus meals...I guess I haven't been implementing all these trainer tips from Biggest Loser...there are just some things that I can't seem to give up!

1. Graham Crackers (love them w/ peanut butter)
2. Oatmeal Squares (the cereal...its a fav for Olivia, too!)
3. Starbucks trail mix
4. Zone bars..my only healthy treat...I love the fudge graham ones
5. Frozen grapes...so good!
6. chocolate...of any kind

3 bad habits
1. I let the gas tank get to the BARE minimum...I gotta stop before it catches up to me!
2. Eating while watching TV...I eat so much more that way, but It just isn't the same without food...its like the show was disappointing:)
3. I watch Young & the Restless...yeah, its Tivoed at my house and K.C. is totally addicted too! We actually call and discuss it with my parents...they are the ones who got us hooked one year over Christmas.

If I were suddenly a billionaire...
I would definitely hook up all my family first and then start a foundation for abused children. That is defnitely an area I would want to commit time and money to.

5 places I've lived
1. Columbia, SC
2. Georgetown, SC
3. Layton, UT
4. Salt Lake City, UT (Sugarhouse...my favorite!)
5. Sandy, UT

5 jobs I've had (have)
1. Pharmaceutical Sales Rep (Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Braintree Labs, Indevus/Odyssey Pharmaceuticals
2. Floor Coverings International (helping my Mom & Dad)
3. Florist
4. Merrill Lynch/Raymond James Financial
5. Finance Department for L3 Comm


5 things people don't know about me
1. I always take the stairs instead of the elevator...but, I am always racing up the stairs because I get freaked out someone is going to grab me...I've read too many forwards!
2. I have lists all over because that is how I remember everything!
3. I do things the same way all every time I do them...that is why Olivia has to have everything a certain way for going to bed, eating, etc. I have created it, so I can't complain!
4. One thing that drives me insane is when people smack their food or slurp their drinks...I honestly almost walk over and say something to them...This came from my Dad!
5. I am extremely afraid of heights!

Katie, Nicole, Misty, Emily...You're it!
