Happy 3rd Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my sweet princess Olivia! I can't believe she is 3!!!!!! I have a three year old!!!

(will post more birthday festivities later)

Birthday Excitement

So excited for Olivia's birthday tomorrow! She has been telling me she wants a princess party- we aren't having a party but I am going to decorate a little for our princess:) I did make her a birthday crown... that I love! We are inviting family over for cake and ice cream, and then doing some fun just family birthday things- mostly on Saturday. I will post what we did this past weekend a little later... Kye's birthday, bbq...etc.

Here is a preview of the crown:

Just a Trim!

This picture was taken a little while back, and so since then his hair has gotten past his eyes and a lovely mullet has been creeping down his back- so it was time for a trim....

or not...

... more than just a trim. But he is still stinkin' cute!

Keeping Busy

We are just keeping so busy this summer with swimming, birthdays, photoshoots, it just seems like blogging is the last thing on my mind. Olivia and Mike's birthdays are both next week! Wahoo! Can you believe Olivia is going to be 3! And she has the attitude to go with it. We have been going swimming at Lindon city pool and its been so fun- the two times we have gone:) We have been playing a lot at home. Korver is getting so good at feeding himself with a fork and spoon with not spilling, and starting to say more words- or at least the beggining sounds of words:) Olivia just really wants to do everything herself. I mean she tells me to go away when she is playing- like im invading her space or something:) I know I say it over and over but I seriously do have the cutest kids! Looks and all... although I could do without the sass Olivia gives me... I have been busy with the kids and photoshoots lately! I love it! So with Mike's birthday coming up anyone have any ideas:)? Oh also we celebrated our 4th anniversary in Vegas! It was so fun! Sad to say no pictures:( We mostly just shopped and walked the strip- it was so hot and a hot wind to go with it. But we walked the entire strip so we got our excersize for the year!:) We did see the Titanic exhibit- anything that has to do with Titanic Mike loves! They had a "ice berg" chunk there and so we had a contest who could leave their hands on the longest- I think I last maybe ...5...no I would say at least 10 seconds! It was so cold! At the beggining of the exhibit they give you a passenger passport to see if you survived. I was a third class passenger and yes I did survive, but sad to say Mike, a first class passenger,  did not. It was a fun relaxing weekend.

For Olivia's third birthday I am still up in the air of what to do and its next thursday! Im not going to have a birthday party- I mean we will invite a few over for cake and icecream but nothing like the past two years. SO any ideas for that?

Here are some preview pictures of Olivia's 3 yr pics:

Head Full Of Hair!

So Olivia is wonderful at letting me do her hair! She will sit so patiently to let me do whatever I want to it...except cut it which I am so glad! She says she wants it down to her butt, or feet like Rapunzel- and she has beautiful hair! I love that its not super thick but not thin like mine:) The only problem with having long hair in this family is Korver loves to pull it! I believe I won't need a trim for another six months because of how much he has yanked out of mine! But we still love him- Im just surprised he hasn't pulled his own out since its so so so thick and long! Im waiting for the sides to grow out a little longer to try and give it some shape- sk8er type I guess ... I dunno, everytime I have took the clippers to it I am like why did I just do that! Anyways I am so lucky to have had babies with so much hair:)

Fun Busy Weekend

I had such a fun weekend doing a newborn photo shoot! I was able to take pictures of my neighbors 2 week old baby girl Ava Lindsay Rees. She was so fun to take pictures of, and of course I took a few family pics too:) Here are a few- to see more go to www.letsmakeamemoryphotography.blogspot.com.

Today we took the tracks down to Salt Lake City to go see the new City Creek Center- Korver and Olivia loved it! What was so nice about The Center is there is tons of shopping, but you dont have to walk so far to the other side:) There is the Cheesecake factory there too:)  and H&M, and Disney, and pretty much a ton of stores:) After we were done shopping we got back on the tracks to go to the KSL building cause Kasi won some tickets, and as we were getting off- we had to carry two strollers off Olivia thought we were going to leave her on- it was the saddest thing. I had to hurry and get Korver off so the doors wouldnt close and so Olivia was left there at the top of the stairs thinking we forgot about her... poor girl. On the plus side I got some new earings:) 

New stuff in our life:

Olivia and Korver:

growing so much! anytime Olivia falls asleep for a nap and Korver doesn't he wants to play with her so he will go and yank her hair and laugh while he does it. - Free Haircuts From Korver

Korver played with bubbles for the first time yesterday- we have blown them before but it was the first time he really got into it- he went CRAZY! bouncing off the walls:)

Korver loves:

pulling hair

shoes

getting into my wallet

putting coins in his piggy bank

wrestling his sister

playing cars

loves taking all the cushions off the couch

loves screaming:)

Is a MOMMA'S BOY big time!

Olivia:

is too grown up for her age, anytime she is playing with other kids she tells me k mom go away- with a "your not cool mom" attitude!

She definitly has an attitude

loves to play with whatever Korver is playing with

still loves singing and dancing and talking on my phone to anyone- and then her phone to every disney princess

loves Dora

favorite color pink

loves her hair done- curled

still trys to steal Korver's bottle

We love them!

Our anniversary is this weekend and we are going to VEGAS! YAY! Im so excited to get away:) My mom and dad, and Melanie have offered to watch the kids. Thanks!

Our Bowling Team

This past weekend we got to hang out with Steph and Jon before they moved to Minnesota! So sad they moved! Going to miss them so much. We went bowling - Mike was working- at Provo Beach Resort. It was lots of fun:) So we went bowling, had a big water war, played kickball and then played sardines:) I am planning on going and visiting them sometime... sooner than later hopefully:)
