It's time for an update.

Okay, I know it's been a while.

But oh my gosh has life been crazy.

Working, playing with baby girl, taking care of baby girl, playing Uno and eating otter pops with the husband, organizing everything and making sure we are ready to move (3 weeks!), meal planning on pinterest, taxes, finding new insurance, organizing photos cause I have like a million, working on Michael's mission scrapbook, and overall just having so much crazy fun.

Oh and the craziness doesn't end.

I'm making 60 cupcakes for a bridal shower tomorrow.

Oh gosh sometimes I feel like the list of things to do never ends.

But at the end of the day I am so very grateful for family, for my boy, and for baby girl.

They make this crazy life the best!

Below is like 44 pictures or something.

So read on if you dare.

The next pictures consist of Olivia running around the house.

One Sunday, we sat as a family listening to Michael read mission journals.

During this time Olivia was not getting as much attention as she is used to, so she began running around the house.

I am not even kidding when I tell you that she ran around 25 times.

She thought it was the funniest thing ever.

(We kind of did too:)

I'm thinking I'm in for it with her, I mean 25 times.

Seriously just watching her made me tired.

Dying of laughter and hardly out of breath!

Michael got his first letter of acceptance from Williamette.

It is a school in Salem, Oregon.

A lawyer he worked for one summer recommended he apply here.

So he did and not only was he accepted but he was offered a $12,000 scholarship.

We are still waiting to hear from one more school.

But we are a little tempted by this offer!

Playing in the snow for probably the last time this year.

Sad it only snowed like 2 times this winter.

Singing with dad and dancing.

It's a favorite of hers.

Having a picnic with the twins and Harrison.

She loves them so much.

And is always looking for them to play and cries when they leave for school in the mornings.

I think she thinks they are her sisters and brother.

So needless to say she'll struggle with the move a little bit.

Thank goodness for facetime!

We celebrated Emerson's 18th birthday.

We went to Chili's for dinner and then had the usual cake and presents.

This year, Emerson wanted me to make him a homemade yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

So I did, and I'm not going to lie the hours in the kitchen baking were definitely worth it:)

 

Olivia really loved giving Emerson his presents and then of course begging for candy the entire time.

She definitely knows a candy box when she sees one.

 

Soph is getting married this summer:)

So we went to a bridal fair at Thanksgiving point.

Oh my gosh, it was so fun.

Especially getting to sample all the food.

Sophia, mom, me, Becky Galloway, Leah Galloway. (Friends from our ward).

The next few pictures are of us playing dodgeball on the tramp.

We played against the twins, Harrison and some of their friends.

Yep we dominated the game!

Me, Emerson, Sophia, and Derek (Emerson's friend).

And then something hilarious happened.

There was a slight rip/hole in our tramp which we tried to avoid during the game.

Apparently I forgot about the hole because while running from the ball I stepped right into it and Emerson ran to block me so I wouldn't get hit adding just enough weight to completely rip the tramp in half. It happened so fast and before I knew it I was falling right through the crack!

 

Here we are!

 

 

Olivia loves doing puzzles and is getting so good at putting the pieces where they go.

As you can tell by my her face she is dead serious about it.

 

She loves to multitask.

Brushing teeth and walking around with her popper.

She now has BARELY enough hair for little pig tails!

Yay!

I really think they are the cutest.

She's looking so grown up nowadays.

I have no idea what face this is.

But it was much to funny not to share.

Went for a romantic walk on the golf trail with this cute boy.

We even saw a small herd of deer which was a bit scary.

We drove down to Provo one afternoon, picked up Taco Bell and took Olivia to feed the ducks at BYU.

She was in heaven and screaming Du the whole time.

There were even turtles!

She was dang excited the entire time and loved throwing the bread to them.

As soon as they would eat it she would back up and let out a scream of pure joy.

It was absolutely precious.

Taking a Sunday walk up the street to see the kitty.

Another favorite of hers.

She was meowing the entire time.

Little cutie.

Blowing bubbles.

This child is constantly on the go.

Literally running around all day minus about 1 1/2 hours for her nap.

So it is only natural for her to completely pass out at 7:00 pm every night.

We sure love her.

And are definitely living up our last few weeks in Utah.
