Aggie Pride

Tonight we took Olivia to see the Aggie Gymnastic team. Here are some pics of the highlights of the night.
On our way up the elevater (spelling) we met Big Blue

snagged some more pics with him

Teagan was basically wondering where he was the whole timeWhoops put it twice

We made it on the Jumbo tron YAY!

Olivia insisted she get her poster signed so we stood in a ridiculous long line

She was beyond excited to talk to the girls she kept saying "you did such a good job"

"I am going to do flips when I am big" and finally "your awesome"We had such a fun time. Olivia kept saying "this was the best day ever" *sigh* "what a nice day"

Haha she's awesome!

My baby turns1!

Teagan turned one yesterday. I can't believe its been one year since he joined our little family. Teagan has been such a blessing to us he has the sweetest little spirit and a very busy personality. He has kept us hopping since he discovered movement @ 2-3 months by rolling everywhere then crawling at 6 months and WALKING @ 9. I have loved every second with him, and look forward to watching him grow and develop more and more. Happy Birthday Teagan!! I love my little guy!

Here is my attempt @ making a him a dinosaur cake

with a dino egg.( yes thats supposed to be a egg).

I didn't get to many pics, we mostly videoed

Just getting started!!

I LOVE CAKE!!!

All done, so yummy!

Fun with Nature

So I have been trying really hard to do more crafts with Olivia she is a very busy person and when not directed can get into some serious trouble. So I have been trying to come up with some ideas to do with her that will take up some of the long hours of the day. So I found this really cool blog that has tons of ideas one of which was this leaf wreath. So Olivia and I and her easter basket headed out on a leaf hunt, I was not sure how this would go or if we would even find any leaves worth using since all the ones in our yard are now dried up and crumbly. But after walking about 3 blocks we were able to fill her basket with wreath worthy leaves next we picked some berries off one of our bushes and we were set. I found a sturdy paper plate cut the middle out and we started gluing only to find out Elmers did not work grrrr so we broke out the the big guns......... well gun. (how I do love my glue gun) after we glued as much on as Olivia wanted she added her berries picked out a bow and WALLLAAAHH just look and our masterpeice we had alot of fun doing this and it was nice to get out and go for a walk too. And now we have a nice wreath to go on the front door and Olivia is thrilled everytime she sees it out there. Today she was yelling at people walking/running by to come look at it. So if you happen to be passing my house and see a four year old yelling stuff at you chances are she wants you to come see her masterpeice.

Kayleeny Houdini

For Olivia's 4th birthday I wanted to do something fun! Something she had never experienced before so I asked my sister if she could pull together a few magic tricks and have a little show, little did I know my sister is...................... Kayleeny Houdini!!! yes complete with her own fog to appear. It was so fun we had the kids count to three and shout Abra Cadabra and POOF she appeared the kids were in serous awe!

It was so fun to see the look of amazement as things disappeared and reappeared. Switched places, magically she even had her wand float. I was even in awe.

My sister is awesome check out her sweet costume

Safe to say I think it was a big hit!!

Thank you Kayleen for being such a AWESOME sister and doing this for Livvy she absolutely LOVED it!

Out for a walk.

Olivia is not adjusting to this cold weather at all!

She loves to be outside and the last few days have been way to nasty to let her out plus it's quite the ordeal to get her to dress warm. So since tonight was not to bad we decided to head out for a walk.
Olivia took this :)

She was so cute with her little baby and stroller, everytime I would stop to check Teagan she would "check" her baby to and adjust the blanket. Such a good little "mommy"

This is in my neighbors yard Olivia liked it because it's like the one at Disneyland!


Sorry for the duplicate I had no idea how to delete it. But

dang aren't my kids cute :)

Growing SO fast!!

Well I really should not be that surprised, but Teagan is now standing on his own. I knew this would come eventually just one more step closer to walking. I must admit I usually make him sit back down I am not quite ready to have him walking. He gets in enough trouble crawling around which he started at about 6 months. He never was a baby to just sit in one spot and play contently. He is such a cute little stinker though LOL

Then there is my sweet little Olivia,

After months of begging to go to school, the day finally arrived, Olivia went to preschool. I cannot believe she is old enough to go. Where has the time gone. Anyway enough of my sentimental mommy feelings (I really could go on and on) Olivia LOVES preschool and her teacher. She does not quite understand why she cannot go every day so we finally had to get a calendar so she can cross off days and know which days are preschool. She is making new friends and was so excited to see that her friend Paige who had moved from our ward is in her class and as of right now as Olivia puts it "My very best friend" kids are soo cute!!

So life goes on my kids are growing up which makes life a little more crazy and hectic!

Oh ya and did I mention Teagans hair is going curly.....SO EXCITED!!

Fish Anyone?

The other day we were out at my moms, she was preparing some fish my dad had caught. Olivia was watching and I could tell she was in deep thought.

Olivia: Grandma what are you doing?
My mom: Making fish for dinner, I am putting seasoning on so it will taste good when we eat it
Olivia:(long pause)Childs of God don't eat fish
