Olivia and her awesome dance moves

Olivia's booty shake makes me laugh everytime.

What else did we do?

So we have done a ton of stuff but I didn't always take pictures or bring the camera unfortunately. Mike and I did a super sprint triathlon in May and it was so much fun. It was freezing and my toes were frozen for all of the bike and 75% of the run but I can't wait to do another if I can find the time.

Mother's day weekend we went to park city and we spent a lot of time at the pool which Olivia loves.

We have gone on a few hikes and bike rides but no pictures to share. On the bright side Mike did order a sweet camera which should be arriving sometime soon. It is long overdue. We have a great cannon supershot but after 5 years and heavy use and being dropped several times it is time for an upgrade. We are hoping to get higher quality photos. I was inspired to get a new one because my friend Michelle had a nicer camera and I could tell the difference in picture quality.

We went on a hike to the wind caves about two weeks ago and it was so much fun. Olivia absolutely loves to ride in the backpack. Hopefully I will have more pictures and adventures to share.

April fun

We went to baby animal days and Olivia seem to have fun. I don't have any great pictures but we got some great video. This is a picture of Olivia and Mike on the train.


On Mike's birthday we ran the Salt Lake City half marathon and it was so much fun. Surprisingly. I was worried because I didn't train much. I was a lot slower than I had hoped but I am happy I finished. Now I know the pain of running 13.1 miles and I would probably do it again. Olivia stayed with my mom and Mike and I got a hotel room in downtown SLC. It was fun to walk around the city. Not so much fun to wake up so early. Here is a picture of Mike and I in the hotel room.

Random happenings from Spring 2010

Olivia loves boxes and she will climb into anything.


Olivia participated in a midnight easter egg hunt with flashlights. She had fun eating the candy. It was a cold windy and slightly snowy night.


Mike and I went to the Saturday morning general conference. It was great. It is a very special feeling to see the prophet walk in. The biggest thing I remember is the emphasis of parental responsibility on teaching their children values, morals, etc...


Just a random picture of Olivia wearing my heels.

St. George. Old but overdue

I have been terrible at posting pictures or basically posting. So here is the first of many posts that are old but overdue. And I apologize if I already posted these pictures because I can't remember if I did. In March we went to St. George with Mike's parents and Mike's sister's family. It was fun. We stayed in a condo which works best for us since there are so many people and we get the option to cook instead of going out to eat for every meal. We went swimming at the rec center and Olivia had so much fun. She loves the water.


Grandma was missing because she was in the car with Olivia who was asleep. Olivia would have loved this hike.


A rare photo of myself being hot and sweaty.


Mike and Olivia being silly.

Ordinary People by John Legend

I love this song.

Olivia's conversation

I know Olivia is really going to love these when she gets older.

Mike took Olivia to get the oil changed in the van and when they came home this is what happened

Olivia: Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mike: Mommy went to work
Olivia: Sandy! Sandy!

I am guessing she does that because when I get home and I am looking for Mike I always start by yelling Dad and when I get no response I usually yell Mike. And yes Olivia sometimes calls him Mike especially when he isn't paying attention.

I gave Olivia a green bean to eat. She hands it to her baby doll.

Olivia to baby: Hold it! Hold it! (Obviously the baby is not grasping the bean)
Olivia to baby: Please!

Olivia happenings

I have been terrible at posting and I can honestly say I don't have the intention of making a good post anytime soon. Summer is finally here and we are enjoying the weather and I am actually taking pictures but I wanted to document this because it is so freaking cute.

The other day Mike sneezed and Olivia said "Bless you." I thought it was precious.
