Liv's favorite hang-out spot... the fridge

What Liv looks like on our walks.. hehehe

So, lately Brett and I have been loving "Timbaline" a music artist... We just can't get enough. Click here to listen to one of our latest favorites. Also, have you sceen THIS video!? Oh my... it made Brett and I laugh. what a CRRRRAZY lady. Well, theres more I want to blog about, but I'll save it for later, Olivia wants to go to bed!

Olivia's Latest

Latest and Greatest from Sarisker on Vimeo.
Sorry the clips are a little short- It's hard to make her do what I want on video.. You know how it goes! Along with her No no no's, she also is saying " yo yo yo" and "o-e-o-e-o" and "Ut- Ooooh" It's so funny to listen to.

Go BYU !

We got to go to the last BYU football game. Brett was so excited. We forgot the tickets at home, so we missed kick-off and Brett was pretty sad about it. BUT it was still fun, and Livie was pretty much an angel for the most part. For her good behavior she got a new BYU hat (I knew she had been wanting one..hehe!) Oh, and incase your wondering, that blue splotch on Olivia's face was SUPPOSED to be a blue Y, but it rubbed off and never looked that great from the beginning. oooh well.

Random Livie Facts

Okay, the pictures have nothing to do with my post, but they are so funny. Olivia was desperately trying to get into the pantry to get her cheerios... What a funny girl (I'm not sure how the leg lift helps open doors..)

As of now here are some things Livie is doing... This is mostly so I can look back and know for myself and Livie can know what some of her first words, ect. (not bragging...)

Olivia is almost 15 months old now. (She's exactly 1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days old)

She came up with a new dance move last week that is hilarious. She stomps her feet like she's a little tap dancer (I've tried to get video, but of course she stops when I want to film..) Her old, or most used dance move previous to this was just a bounce/ squat move where she bounced to the beat of the music.

She knows what most objects are but can't say them yet. But if we tell her "go get me a diaper..etc." She will generally always get what we want

She says "OOOOO" for a cow and "oo.. ooo" for a dog. She also says the word "dog"

She says "ite" for light and loves to point out where there are lights. She came up with this on her own, we didn't teach her... Pretty smart girl!

She LOVES candy and anything sweet

She absolutely loves bath time and gets very upset of I take a shower without her (she takes baths by herself, not showers with me btw)

Her favorite words of all time are "Da" (dada, dad, D, Daddy...) and "HI! "

I find it hard to teach her new words because she will always points at things and say "this, this?" instead of calling it by it's name. It can be pretty annoying. I say "NO Olivia, a binky (or whatever word I'm trying to teach)" and she always points to it and says "This"

Olivia's hair measures 4.5 inches in some spots!

So, this is what I can think of off the top of my head, I know theres more, but oh-well!

A bug from Texas

I quote Nettie saying "I've been bitten by the quilting bug"... When I saw her post, the bug came to Utah and bit me!
This is the quilt I made for my co-worker April who is having a baby boy in December. She just had her shower so I only had a few days to put it together. It was such cute fabric... It turned out a bit too "busy" but still cute!

This is the quilt I am making for our living room. I wanted to put it on the couch like a throw or something.. It's still not done. I have to put the backing on, do the quilting, and bind it. (my least favorite part of the process)
And yes, all my quilts are the same pattern. It's the only one I have. It's easy and I like it! The NEXT quilt will be different though!

Giraffe Love'n'

Livie with pumpkins

CANDY!

Last night we stayed home to pass put candy (including the candy Liv collected at the trunk-or treat so we wouldn't eat it!) Anyway- every time the door bell rang I ran to the door and said "yea! trick or treaters!" and Livie came running to the door with me. She grinned and giggled and LOVED the trick-or- treaters. She always said "HI!" and as they left she would wave and say "hi. hi!" (she still doesn't quite understand that it's "bye", but at least she waves with the good-byes!) So, the door shuts, I put the candy bowl back on the table and what does Olivia do?! She starts SCREAMING at the top of her lungs and reaches for the candy. Did this happen just once!? NO! EVERY single time someone came to the door the vicious cycle would repeat. I tried hiding the candy before I shut the door, but she still wanted it. Olivia LOOOOOVES candy. We should have never let her try her 1st sucker a week ago.

Happy Halloween!

Jack and Jill, and a BUSY bumble bee

We've had lots of fun Halloween parties to go to lately. We had our ward Carnival and Trunk or Treat, and we went to a party at Scott and Britta's. It's been fun. Brett and I even won 3rd prize for our Jack & Jill costumes! (although, I really don't think we deserved to even be in the running!) Anyways, for more pics you can visit Scott and Britta's Blog.

what a cutie!

Flu Shot

Liv with her cold wash clothe laying around and moping ;)

So, Livie and I got the flu shot Monday afternoon. Livie has had a high fever and doesn't feel well. Supposedly the shot can't GIVE you the flu since it's a dead vaccine, BUT they do say if it's your first time ever it can make you achey and give a you low fever. So, hopefully that's why Liv is not feeling well because it would be better by tomorrow. I thought it was over this morning because Olivia woke up happy and no fever. But around 6 this evening it came back... Interesting. Has this happened to anyone else? It made me a little achey but nothing too bad. They only gave Olivia half the vaccine and she's supposed to get the other half next month but I'm really debating if we want to do it AGAIN! If it's making her so ill, I just don't know if it's worth it. Should we go through with it? Do you think it's bad timing and she just got sick by coincidence?

CornBelly's

Last night we went to Cornbelly's with Scott, Britta, and Grandma Peterson- Grandpa was on a business trip. We had LOTS of fun! It was meant to be a pumpkin patch run, but there was too many other fun things to do that we just played instead! (we'll get pumpkins at the store I guess)

They had a whole "kiddie-corn" section for Olivia. She got to play in a pit of corn, a house HER size, and watch a chicken show. Sorry our camera battery died, so theres no pictures of that!

It was very difficult trying to hold up Livie in the head-hole and keep my head in mine!

The cow Ride through the pumpkin patch

We went through a LARGE corn-maze and found our way out in only 20 minutes! The theme this year was "Pirates of the Cornibean". The maze was in the shape of a large ship!

Grandma and Livie on the jack-o-lantern hay-ride. They had AMAZING pumpkins carved into all sorts of cool pictures. They were truely impressive.

The many Faces of Olivia

Livie has been making some funny faces lately. She likes to do the scrunch-nose look! hehe, she's so funny!

Little bit about Brett and Sarah

What is his name? Brett

what is your name? Sarah

How long have you been together? We started dating in June of 2004, married August of 2006

How long did you date? you can do the math... (although, I usually lie and say a year and a half.. why? I don't know, it just sounds better!)

How old is he? 28

Who eats more? we eat about the same.. is that weird!? Brett thinks it is!

Who said I love you first? mmm, probably a mutual thing, but I would guess me! I am not the type to worry about the words 'I love you' so long as I already knew through actions..

Who is taller? Brett is 6'2'' and I'm 5'8"

Who sings better? haha, I don't know... were both not really singers

Who is smarter? Brett for sure

Who does the laundry? usually me

Who does the dishes?usually me, but Brett is good and helps out when he can

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do

Who pays the bills?Brett, thank goodness. I hate math and numbers!

Who mows the lawn? Brett, unless I beg

Who cooks dinner? oh, me again... I'm a little housewife!

Who drives when you're together? Brett, I don't care to drive at all

Who is more stubborn? probably me..

Who is the first to admit they're wrong? neither of us. I'm always right, and I know it.

Who kissed who first? I believe I kissed Brett. (but it wasn't like he didn't want to)He was awfully SLOW! (although, I was awfully quick...)

Who asked who out? Brett asked me out I guess. We hung out with a group of friends before we really dated, so I don't know..

Who proposed? Brett did, after a VERY LONG TIME (or so it seemed at the time)

Who is more sensitive? mm, I'd say I am

Who has more friends? I don't know... Brett makes friends in the ward and neighborhood faster, but I think I have a lot more "best" friends (the type you can say just about anything to..) I don't do so well with the half friend acquaintance thing. So while I only have like 2 friends here in Utah, Brett probably has 10!

Who has more siblings? Brett. Wowee, 7 kids!

Who wears the pants in the family? oh brother. What is that supposed to mean anyway!?

Livie look alike

Holy Moley!

So, I was doing some laundry and Livie was playing on the floor right below the shelf above... When all of a sudden, KABOOM... the (brand new, FULL) laundry detergent fell off the shelf RIGHT next to Olivia. I just about had a heart attack. If it hit her she would probably be in the emergency room right now. That's 300 fl. oz. plus the fact that it's about 8 ft. high. I think I'll push it far back until I'm using it from now on.

Sleepy Rider

On our bike ride this morning Liv fell asleep. She hates it when I wake her up in the mornings for bike rides. So today she slept ON the bike ride. I thought it was funny that she could sleep through all the bumps and everything!

Cuties

AAh, my husband and baby are just so good looking.. I love them!

For Ma

Jeff came to visit this weekend.. so Ma asked for a picture. Here it is, ALL your kids Ma!
