Sweet little Gabi in her first Adidas hat heading to the park! Utah is the only place where it will be 70 degrees one day and 40 the next! We have to keep all our clothes accessible!!

Olivia is IT!!

So our little Olivia got tagged by her friend Dylen, so here are 10 favorite things about our little angel.

1. She LOVES to have you tell her stories. She will lay on her stomach or sit down with both hands on her chin just anxious to listen. AND, if you get the story wrong, she will correct you...she knows them all inside and out. Her lastest favorite is Goldilocks and the 3 bears:)

2. All of a sudden, she has become obsessed with dressing up. My mom and sister gave her some dress up outfits with the shoes, tights, jewelry and all and she keeps it all in one of her drawers. AT LEAST 3-4 times a day, she asks me if she can put on her "BEAUTY-FUL" dress or her "BEAUTY-FUL" tank top, skirt and cape. I mean, this child begs me to let her put this stuff over her PJs. Then after she is all decked out she models it and tells me she looks "BEAUTY-FUL." Yes, I hear this word at least 10 times a day! SO CUTE!

3. She loves to ask the question, "WHY??" I mean, I can give some pretty good explanations of things and K.C., well, he can explain things so much that no one could ask "WHY," but Olivia finds a way to want to know more. She wants to understand it all. You know you're a success when she finally says, "Oh, Okay. Thanks, Mom."

4. Have you ever seen the movie "The Negotiator?" Well, honey, if they knew Olivia, they would have asked her to play the leading role. I have never seen someone who can negotiate for what they want as well as she can. I mean, by the end of our conversation, I am EXHAUSTED! SHE HAS WORN ME DOWN!! Not an easy task!

5. She loves playing "hoops" with her Daddio at the gym. Every time we go together, she has to play basketball with K.C. before we can leave. It is so sweet!

6. Olivia is such a sweet big sister. Every time Gabi wakes up, she runs up to me and says, "Mom, Gabi girl is awake, lets go get her!" Then she runs up to her bed, climbs up the side of the crib and starts talking in her little sweet baby voice, "Hey little Gabi girl, are you a happy girl? Are you awake? Did you sleep good sweet girl?" Gabi just lights up...she loves her Big Sister! Olivia always says, "Mom, Gabi girl just loves me. I always make her laugh." She sure does!

7. One of my favorite things that Olivia does is anytime we are all doing something together as a family whether it is cleaning, in the car driving somewhere, eating, at the park...anywhere, she says, "All the family is together. We love eachother." I'm glad she knows that!

8. I love to hear Olivia's sweet little prayers. Every night and morning she kneels down beside me and says the sweetest little prayers thanking Heavenly Father for all her family and blessing her dad, sister and grandparents. I hope she does that forever!

9. Olivia loves to help me clean and I appreciate it! She will go get a dusting wipe or a clorox cleaning wipe and clean away while I'm doing the same thing. I mean, it is really helpful! I hope this habit will transfer into her teenage years as well!!

10. One of Olivia's favorite things to do is to go on dates with her Dad or with the whole family. Ever since K.C. took her on a date night, she thinks every time we go to Chili's, we're on a date. It is so sweet.

We love this little girl so much! Even though she is a spit fire, I wouldn't have it any other way. She adds lots of spice and sweetness to our lives!!

Addy, Christian, Ryder, Ryan, JB...you're IT!!

Dress up time!

Olivia had the best time dressing up at my sisters. She came back to my Mom's and walked in decked out from head to toe. I was suprised she let me take any of it off! I guess all the girls got dressed up...I need to get the picture of all of them from my sister, but here is Olivia. Gabi was just sporting the hat I gave Jane for her birthday...cutie pie!

Playtime in Charleston!

The girls went down to Charleston to play with all their cousins, aunts and uncles. Their toys always seem to be better than ours somehow! It was constant enertainment! These girls are going to be spoiled ROTTEN when we get home!!

On the Boardwalk

We took a stroll on the boardwalk by my parent's house in Historic Georgetown. It was such a nice day with a great breeze. Olivia loves to go and see the boats and sometimes you can even see an alligator. Gabi girl fell fast asleep on the way there. We were walking back to my parents and a rain storm came. That woke her up! It was pretty eventful to see us trucking it home in the rain with the girls! So fun!!

Coming to SC

K.C. and I brought the girls out to see all my family. Gabi is so cute with my Dad. She just loves him. Every time she walks in a room and sees him, she lights up smiling and lunges out for him. She keeps kissing him and I caught it on camera!! Olivia had so much fun playing with her cousin Emily on the first day here. They went in my Mom's garage and had tea parties and played with Barbies...it doesn't get better than that, right?!
