The ugly sweater party

Exactly 2 years ago there was a party.
An ugly sweater party.
My boy came except I didn't know then that he would be my boy,
but I knew I wanted him to be.
He shared with me his favorite Westlife cds and we had lots of fun playing in the snow together.
I knew I was falling for him, in fact I was pretty sure I loved him.
I know this might sound crazy especially since it was our first time hanging out, but I think that my love was there all along, it was just waiting for him.
I didn't want him to leave that night.
But he did of course.
So, I fell asleep listening to his favorite music
thinking and dreaming of him.
I couldn't wait to see him next.
Little did I know that 2 years later we would be happily married with a beautiful baby girl.
I just love him and so much more than I did 2 years ago.

Thanksgiving Point lights and a few extra cuties

Yesterday, we decided to take a wagon around all the lights at Thanksgiving Point with my family. We knew Olivia would LOVE all the lights. And she did. She was wide awake the whole time just looking around. She seemed to like the green ones the best. The horses smelled pretty bad, I'll have to admit that I was a bit envious of Michael's lack of smell!

Okay here are the few extra cuties.

Tummy time!

All bundled up in her carseat.

So we were getting ready to run a few errands and I had just bundled her up in her carseat. I had walked away to pick up a few things when Michael told me to come look. So I did and this is what I saw.

This is about as close as we get to a little smile from this serious girl. Of course it's still adorable!

Uggs and Chub

This precious girl is definitely putting on the chub.
It's so cute I just want to squish it.

Her uggs are adorable. I want a pair.

Oh and guess what? She rolled over.
Yep, from tummy to back. Twice!
Yay Olivia!!

My cousin

Yesterday, we were able to go up to my Uncle Gardner and Aunt Lisa's house for a "last" dinner before my cousin Joshua leaves on his mission.
He is going to Mexico.
I couldn't help but get a little emotional as I looked around the table at my brothers and sisters and cousins. I realized that things are about ready to change. We are all pretty close in age so there will be several missions that overlap making it around 6 years before we are sitting around the table like that again. By then I am sure their will be other new additions to the family. I know I am a married woman with my own baby but sometimes I still feel like I am a kid. I can not believe how fast time has gone. It seems like just yesterday we were all flinging around on the tubes trying to push each other off, laughing and talking about things only cousins can talk about, doing crazy things that get us in trouble, and just being best friends like we were.
I don't like change.
Joshua is like a brother to me. I am going to miss this crazy boy, but I am so excited for him and so proud of his decision to serve a mission. He is going to be an amazing missionary and I know he will be very influential.

2 months and a few other things

So we took our sweet girl to her 2 month doctors appointment. I can't believe she is 2 months already, she is growing up! But we have loved every minute of our time with her. She is a precious little girl with a darling personality! Anyway these are her stats:
Weight: 9 lb 4 ounces-12th percentile
Height: 19.8 in-27th percentile
Head: 38 cm-30th percentile
She got 3 shots in her little legs. It was seriously one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed. She was brave though and calmed down once I picked her up.
A few things about our little girl:
*She has blue eyes. I really like this.
*Loves lights and is always staring outside.
* Still loves her showers more than anything else
* Makes little snoring sounds when she sleeps
*Loves her uncle Winston so much so that her first smile was at him
*Loves her mommy. Yep she is a mommy's girl. She will let other people hold her for a minute but always ends up fussing until I take her. I am not going to lie, I love it!
*Loves to play the stand up, sit up game. She has strong little legs.
*Is getting cute little rolls on her legs. Adorable!
*Squirted poop all over her dad's shirt haha. I am sure she did it on purpose because she has never done this to me and I change most of her diapers.
*Is such a cuddly little girl.
*Loves to hold my hand in the car
*Has started cooing and making little sounds.
*Oh she's just perfect. We love her!

So here are a few things we have done lately:

We had my cousins Jason and Adriana and their darling little baby Samantha down for dinner and games. We had a blast playing with our little girls.

I can't handle how cute this picture is. They are going to be little buddies:)

Sitting in her little swing. She kind of likes it which is better than not liking it all or liking it too much. I of course would rather hold her as much as possible.

Our little Buckette all geared up for the last Ohio State game! She loved looking at the t.v, In fact that is what she is looking at.

Go Buckeyes!!

With her daddy!

So Olivia and I have loved having netflix on xbox because we can watch these as much as we want! I noticed that the ages for these shows are 8-10 but that's okay, I love them anyway.

Here are a couple videos:

Grandpa John playing caterpillar!

You will have to turn the volume up for this one but this is her sleeping. You will hear her little snoring sounds. It's adorable!
