Just some things about Oliver!

This is a post just about Ollie an what's he is interested right now!

Oliver still sucks on his fingers and used mommies hair as his security blanket.

He has crazy seperation anxiety

He loves playing with brooms and tries to help mom and dad clean but usually makes things messier than before, we still think is stinking cute!

He loves Daniel the tiger and has a special dance he does when it turns on

He can sign more and communicate what he wants really well in other ways

He loves to dance and clap

He can run now

He says yay and claps when he's excited!

He loves the outside and meeting other kids

His favorite foods are pasta pizza and potato soup

He is generally a happy and fun boy! We live him so much!

Saint Patrick's Day!

Happy Saint Patricks Day! This is a holiday I usually only celabrate by wearing green but for some reason today I was feeling festive and we did all sorts of fun things!

Today started with my friend Sarah making us green pancakes after we worked out, that were awesome!

Then after oliver took a nap and ate we did a craft and it was so fun! 

And had a snack of Lucky charms!

And then I made sugar cookies! I couldn't find a shamrock cookie cutter so I made these by using a heart cookie cutter and a knife!

Oliver preferred eating the frosting to decorating the cookies but finished anyway!

Here are the rest of the cookies that we will give to some friends tonight when they come over for some potato soup! Yum!

New Years

So Amy and I went to the city for New Year's Eve yesterday and it was really fun, we ended up leaving early but we ate lot of yummy foods and saw the New Year's ball! Very cool!

Get Connected

So I volunteered to work Get Connected only about two weeks ago and somehow I was still able to help. It was a lot of fun helping the new freshman and meeting a LOT of really awesome people. I got people registered, helped people find there way around campus, and ushered a lot of events. The most fun though was helping with i-night, a big campus party/carnival, and then getting to play for free when I wasn't working! So much fun!


This is my partner Kyle, he was super nice and it was great working with him!
This is my friend Ammon, hes the one who remined me about Get Connected and got me involved.
This was fun, you were attached to a bungee cord and you were supposed to get as far as you can and get further then the other person.
This is the rock wall that I failed at climbing.
This is karaoke, it was so much fun!

A Touch of Christmas

I just thought I would share a picture of our awesome tree this year and our fire place :)

Why Not

So I have decided to start a 365 blog. I don't think that I will succeed at it, but hey whats life without trying! So if anyone is interested I will start blogging on January 1st until who knows how long, but hopefully everyday through the year! This doesn't mean I'm going to stop posting in this blog but it does mean there will probobly be some repeats. So wish me luck!

Alumni concert

Every year Columbia High School invites the alumni to come to the Christmas concert and sing the Hallelujah Chorus with the Chamber singers. It was super fun going back to my high school and seeing my amazing friends and realizing that nothing has really changed since we last saw each other.


My friend Alan made these two pictures separately and we thought it was funny how similar they are:)

Visiting Amy!

I have never been happy about a flight delay. They are usually things that a person dreads, but yesterday a flight delay brought a nice gift in my life. The gift of being able to visit Georgia! Unfortunately I wasn't able to see Natalie but may and I were able to see each other and it was a lot of fun. We did all of the things we used to do. We (well I as goes tradition) made us brownies, we played speed, we shopped a little, Amy did my hair and Make up, we did a photo shoot, and we got Publix subs! It reminded me so much of when we were younger and still sharing a room. I also got to meet Grayson for the first time and he is adorable! I love my little nephew! It was so much fun to see how much the kids have grown. I loved this trip, even with unexpected problems that came our way!





I wanted a picture with Austin but he didn't cheer up enough to get a picture until about an hour before I left which was too bad! He was fun anyway! :)

Spontaneous Adventures!

David and I were driving in my car, almost to the Salt Lake Airport. Both of us were talking about how we missed Rexburg already and how we wish we had more time to see everyone. We even considered turning around at Pocatello but knew that we shouldn't. Right as we were about to pass the exit to the Airport David gets a phone call, "Your flight to San Diego has been canceled, you new flight will depart tomorrow at 7:30 PM" We look at each other and just start luaghing. We even considered returning to Rexburg but knew that would be pointless. So Instead we decide to have adventures in Salt lake City and in Provo. It turned out to be a great and spontaneous night!

The Burg

Ok, So I have been trying to figure out anouther blog post I could do about my short Rexburg trip for the past day and I've realized that even though I have hundreds of pictures I can't really do another post so here are just random pictures from the trip that I liked (the last one describes my addiction perfectly) and why I am both really excited and slightly sad to be returning to the Burg in less than a month. I'm really excited for my incredible new friends and I'm sad cause more then half of these friends won't be around and two of them I won't see for at least two years. But it was fun none the less! :)

new friends

While in Rexburg I made a few new friends who I know I am going to have a lot of fun with when I come back in the winter or the spring. I love meeting new people!

Igloo

I went to Rexburg last week and I had the best time! While in Rexburg we decided that it would be fun to build an igloo, so we went to the DI and got a lot of boxes and made snow and ice blocks and made an igloo. We never completely finished it because we ran out of time but it is still a really cool igloo, here's some pictures!
