Have a good one!

Man do I know how this Turkey feels.........

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Olivia Laurel is now SIX

Olivia was born November 18, 2003 in the wee hours of the morning. I was induced on my due date because she seemed larger than average. She weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long.
She unfortunately came into this world with forceps wrapped around her poor head. She still was the most beautiful baby though, battle wounds and all. I was so thrilled to have a baby girl, since I only have brothers. She has been such an awesome daughter.





These are Liv's 6 year old pictures. I know I am partial but she's such a beautiful little girl.





Olivia had a Glamorous Birthday party this year. Full of makeup, nails, and accessories. Every little girls dream I guess.




Then on her actual Birthday we went out to Chili's for some "baby back ribs", Liv's favorite food.

She also had her 6 year old check up. And everything is great, especially her eyes! The MA couldn't get over how good her eyes are. She gets that from me. Liv's stats: Weight- 48 lbs (55%) Height- 47 inches (80%) Shoe size- 13-1 (I just through that one in there).
We love this little girl to pieces and it won't be long before she outgrows her Mother. Happy Birthday sweetie!

Everyone has their own weaknesses. Believe it or not, I too have a weakness. I like things in certain places. I think they call it something like OCD. Everything in my house has a right place. If it's not in that place it's wrong. I can tell when someone has touched something because it's different, it is slightly turned to the left. My worst fear comes true about every 3 weeks when the cleaners come. They touch EVERYTHING! So when they leave I have to fix everything. I can spot a picture that is crooked a mile away. Anyways today I noticed something. Something not quite right.

I kept walking by and he was staring at me. I couldn't help but laugh because everything is it's right place except for him. I guess this is what they call OCD meets 3 kids. Don't worry he is in his right place now.

I love Grandma's, seriously the best!

I got to brag about my sweet Grandma from St. George and now it's time to tell you about my Grandma in Boise.

My Grandma might be the most amazing person I may know in all my life. This woman has been through more trials in her life than anyone I know. Yet I have truly never seen her stressed. I have never seen her cry. She is so strong. I hope I can be just as strong as her. Her faith has been tested 50 times over yet she still believes. Our faith is tested once and we want to call it quites. I can hardly imagine going through all the pain she has gone through and saying goodbye to so many loved ones.

My Grandma has the most unconditional love. She honestly loves her family. I have a hard time loving someone if they have a dirty face but she has the biggest heart. It doesn't matter what wrong you've done or how you've broken her heart she will still be there for you know matter what.

Which brings me to how forgiving and non-judgemental she is. If I learn nothing else from my Grandma I hope I take away how to not judge other people. She is the definition. She doesn't care about your past, how you look, how you act. She will treat you just the same.

The patience this woman has! Say you mention you would love a certain hamburger. She will do everything in her power to get you that dang hamburger. You can tell her it's no big deal, don't worry about it. But she won't, she won't stop working until she gets that hamburger. It's hilarious really. Her energy level really amazes me.

You can tell how much I love my Grandma and how much I think of her. I am so lucky to have her. And it helps when I am her one and ONLY Granddaughter out of 7 Grandkids! How spoiled do you think I am! I love to have these great examples in my life. We should all tell our Grandparents how much we love them before the opportunity is gone.

Happy Birthday Grandma! You are an extraordinary woman. We love you so so much!!!

1 Incredible Family!

Happy Halloween!

Auntie Kimmie and Uncle Curtis came over to help us celebrate. Wasn't expecting to see Curtis in this!

I am pretty sure the whole neighborhood wasn't expecting to see Curtis in this.
They've switched places, Kim is a football player and Curtis a volleyball player!

When we first went outside we heard some kids yelling, "Look it's the Incredibles! And look it's Frozone!" Oh my gosh we could not stop laughing.

Jack Jack: As you could imagine Alex just loved wearing his mask.

Dash: Having a blast. I like your knee pop to the side dude.

Violet: What a good sport. Never complained but I knew she would much rather be some kind of princess.

My Incredibly cute kids:

We had so many trick-or-treaters. We just about went through 3 big costco bags of candy. This is why I love this holiday!
