Growing By The Minute

Little Miss Liv sure is growing up. She's so excited to meet her baby brother Lincoln. Every day she has to hug my belly and kiss it. Yesterday she told Lincoln she'll be the best sister ever and not hit him. She can't wait to be a big sister because she thinks that means she'll get to go to school. I think her little heart will be broken when she realizes she has another whole year to wait. 

She's really concerned about getting married. She doesn't want to. She wants to grow up to be a bigger mommy than me but not get married and move out because then that means she has to kiss and hug her boyfriend and that's disgusting. 

 She has no problem stating that she wants to marry bacon every time she eats it though. She acts as if she's gone to heaven when she takes a bite and says, "I love it so much I want to marry it." 

Here are the funny Facebook posts I've said about Olivia this month: 

 Livy: Mom do you want to taste my drink? Me: Sure Livy: (mischevious evil look)....you know it has slobbers in it, right? 

Livy still singing Christmas songs breaks out into..."When we finally kiss..." I stop her and say, "who are you going to kiss?" She looks at me like I'm crazy and says "goodnight, duh mom."

 I'm always making up words to songs about my kids and singing it to them. Today in response to one I was singing to Liv she sang this back to me, to the tune of Call Me Maybe."

 "Hey my mom is crazy, so here's her number so call her maybe. Because she is driving me craaaaazy, so here's her number so call her maybe." 

Sick Daddy

Cameron came home from work sick today.  Livy was so happy to see him.  She's a daddy's girl.  She just couldn't leave him alone.  She kept hugging him and grabbing his face and saying, "I'll take care of you my sweetie," and then giving him a big slobbery kiss on his cheek.  I love how much she loves her daddy. 

Trip to Idaho for Riley's Baptism January 4-6

Our nephew Riley got baptized so we made the 4 hour journey to Idaho.  We stayed at Crystal's new place and the cousins had so much fun together.  Olivia and Paige our BFF's, they have so much fun together and were so silly at Golden Corral sharing their cotton candy.  I'm so glad my kids have awesome cousins.  What a great weekend!! 

Christmas Day

We woke up to a white Christmas! It snowed all night.  We had a great time visiting family.  For Christmas this year we got my parents cash.  Ryan had the great idea to hid money in easter eggs and give them 30 seconds to find all the eggs.  It was fun watching them try to find all that cash.  

We missed Mike this year.  It's hard not to have him here for Christmas.  We had so many fun plans for photo shoots with him in his Santa suit.  Christmas won't be the same without him. :(  But we are very grateful we finally got to know him and have him in our life even if it was for a short time.

Christmas

For Christmas Eve we went to my parents and had a white elephant exchange. We had so much fun and there were a lot of funny gifts given. The kids all had a great time. I love it when my family gets together and we just have fun. The kids couldn't wait to go to bed so they could wake up in the morning, me either! 

Mormon Gangster Olivia

Liv and I went to the store and she was in a silly mood. She got a mischievous look on her face pointing at a stranger and whispered, "Mom let's beat him up." Where does she come up with this stuff? 

And this picture is her pretending to be sad, she's a good little actress. 

Easter 2012

We had a great Easter full of candy family and Christ. I love spending time with my sweet family, they are what it's all about.
