Gotta LoVe the picture updates!

We've had a CRAZY week working with our little Olivia on sleeping through the night. Can I just say that I thought I was stubborn, then I met Michael and now we have Olivia and I am not joking in the slightest bit when I say she is seriously the most stubborn little person I have ever met. After 9 days, she will sleep about 10 hours. But she is still skipping naps even though she isn't ready and still SO stubborn about actually falling asleep. Sometimes it takes 3-4 hours for her to finally fall asleep. At least we are seeing improvements and we will keep working on it cause that baby seriously needs to sleep. Of course for her sake and definitely for her mother's. I still love her though. SO MUCH.

Well I attempted the unimaginable. Running. I seriously am out of breath when I take a jog up the stairs so I was pretty sure that I would not make it to the top of our hill. (That's how you feel when it has been over a year since a good workout). However, I am proud to say that I did run a mile! With absolutely NO stops. Well I did have to walk up the hills. There were only 2 though. I am so proud. Sadly I haven't run since. I can tell it is going to be hard to get back into the exercising every day mode.

Michael and I were able to attend my cousin Rachel's sealing in the Salt Lake Temple. It was beautiful and she of course was stunning. I will have to post a picture.
(The picture is of Olivia and me at her reception. Little Olivia definitely was a trooper (a very fussy trooper) being in the car going back and forth from here to SLC and back and then up to Bountiful and back again.)

We were lucky enough to have Michael's little sister Sarah come stay with us for week. It was so so nice to have her here to help with Olivia. I was actually able to get things done. Sarah kept busy with Olivia and the twins the whole week. We were so sad she had to leave but definitely hope she'll come back soon!

Two cuties.

Olivia attended her first birthday party for her darling little friend Samantha. She is my cousin's little girl. It was an adorable party and just so cute to be with Olivia at her first birthday party even though she had no idea what was going on!

One night, I sort of did some spying on these two. Michael was reading Olivia the book Go Dog Go. The cute thing about it was that Michael LOVED this book when he was little and had the whole thing pretty much memorized. He would read it in the cutest voice you have ever heard. Oh my gosh I really am going to have to say it is by far the cutest thing I have ever seen. Well when I did the spying I noticed that he was reading it to her the same way he read it when he was little. I really did about die.

Hanging out in the shade! I love her little lip.

My boy and I were able to have another romantic night out. It's kind of nice to have built in baby sitters, not going to lie. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner mostly cause my sister just got a job there. We had been there once before and weren't that impressed but we decided to give it another try. Well it was AMAZING. A bit expensive but SO much better than the first time. Lucky for us, Sophia can bring home rolls anytime she wants. They pretty much are the best. After we played some basketball. 7 on the line and 1 on 1. I beat Michael a few times! Barely. He might let me win but I like to think he doesn't. He is sweet enough to let each of my shots be worth 1.5 points and of course he lets me foul like there's no tomorrow. He really plays amazingly considering the fact that I am pulling on his arms and pushing him every time he tries to shoot.
Playing basketball together is currently one of our new favs to do together.

Our little sweetheart.

Love her.

Just the 3 of us!

She is getting so good at standing up now. Of course she has to hold on to things. Ahh I am so sad she is growing up but I love watching all the new CUTE things she does every day!
