Friends

Olivia had a friend from the ward over this morning. We painted toe-nails, and played toys. Liv LOVES friends over. Liv can be a bit bossy at times, but still kind for the most part ;) This is Anna- isn't she a cutie!? We love her. Sadly- she left our house with a bee sting... What a way to end a play date ;(

Face Paint

We went to a kids night at our town center the other night. I love Utah for the fun 'city days' that they have. Every city has special events generally for free. Olivia had lots of fun. She got her face painted for free- and she LOVED it! She was pretty sad when we washed it off that night.
Oh yes- I have to add- if you notice there is a black part smeared... well, it is because Olivia has been having quite a lot of tantrums lately. She had one that night and cried and smeared her face paint.

Photography

Well-all of you all are so nice and tell me my pictures are so great. I love it, I really do. The thing is, I don't really think I am that great. I know my pictures are better then a snap and shoot- and I am naturally kinda creative... but I am no where near where I want to be. If you ask me, I think about 1/2 the blogs I read have just as great photos. Brandi- this is why I am not a "professional" or I don't charge people to trake pics etc. I don't think they are good enough to actually charge for. Here is the thing- some day when I can find someone to take a class from or some where, I plan to get good. I want to learn photo-shop and all about picture taking. So- these are my thoughts. Thanks for your lovely comments- I like to pretend to be great. Some day I WILL be really great;) I can't wait. Oh- and p.s. I do LOVE to take pics so if you ever want to have a fun play date with me I think photo shoots are tons of fun. I would love to pracice taking picures of other kids too! Or old people too... anyway- just tell me if you ever want to! Pracice does make perfect! If you want to see some REALLY great photos you should look at my links- there is a list of my favorite photographers! They are AMAZING!

BBQ

We were invited to a BBQ with our old neighbors last week. What fun it is to re-unite with old friends! Olivia had a blast. We love our old neighbors... Oh how we miss them ;( At least they are still only a short drive away! Thanks Roachs for a good time!

And the answer is..

Claire wakes up early... Liv sleeps in late! Good Guessing!

1 Early Bird 1 Night Owl

Can you guess who likes to stay up late partying and who likes to wake up early every morning? The late night party girl is always a CRAB in the morning and wants to sleep in... Then my early bird is just SO happy to be awake in the morning- although it makes me a little crabby to wake up so early!

Seriously?

Olivia peed and pooped on the floor 2x as much as she did in her potty. What is the deal!? I KNOW she can do it. She has many days she has 0 accidents. Then days like today, 6 times on the floor. It's so annoying. I am starting to think punishment for going on the floor may work. I have heard you should always be positive even with accidents.. I have, but maybe she needs a negative consequense to make her STOP going on the floor. She eats enough treats and gets enough stickers for an army. What do you think!?

She LOVES to eat

This baby LOOOVES to eat. She has eaten every thing I have given her so far. Yogart, peas, carrots, squash... and last night she got a hold of a sucker. I have never sceen her happier sucking away on the little treat! She's only been eating 'big girl' foods for a week or so now. She is in love. I have never met a baby who seems to long to be big. She really wants to eat with us, play with us, and I think she wishes she could walk and dance with us ;) You can see her yearning for it.

6 month Photos

When we get bored... we do photo-shoots. I think it is soo fun. I'm not sure the girls agree though ;) They only last about 10 minutes before they are crying.
