Cute Words!

I have a lot of catching up to do. We've been to Disneyland, Nevada with family, Easter, and the Temple devotional on Easter. Before my catch-up blogs I wanted to document a few cute things that Ollie has said the last couple of days.


Luke was playing with the kids last night while I was getting dinner ready. He told them they need to use their imaginations more. Oliver started thinking about it, grabbed some toys and said "Dad, look what I imaginationed!" I thought it was so cute!


We spent Wednesday through Saturday in Logandale, Nevada with all of my family. The kids had so much fun playing with all of their cousins. Oliver and his cousin Tyler have always had a lot of fun together. Anyway, on Monday I asked the kids if they wanted to play with their cousins (of course I meant Gracie and Ellie because they live around the corner). Oliver was so excited and screamed, "Yeah, I want to play with Tyler! Let's call him Mom". I told him that Tyler lives to far (Orem) and that I was sure Jill wouldn't be able to drive him here. He said, "Oh please Mom, lets just say a prayer that they can come". Of course we said a prayer but also discussed that Heavenly Father can't "make" Jill come here but we hope that he helped her have a desire to come here!

I think that there is nothing sweeter than a little child suggesting to pray for the simple things that they want. I'm thankful for Oliver's frequent reminders to stop and pray. When he can't find a toy, wants a friend to come over, and even when Luke's in California and we can't get a hold of him so Oliver can talk to him, he always suggests a prayer. I could certainly use the reminder to pray more frequently in my life. He's such a sweet boy!

Birthday Fun!

We had several days of birthday fun. On Saturday we had a friend birthday party. We played basketball with marshmallows, colored hulk pictures, opened lots of presents, and ate pink cake with green frosting (Ollie's choice). On Monday we had FHE/birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa Adams house. Of course there was great food, great presents, and a great lesson for FHE. On Tuesday Ollie was the "star of the day" at preschool so he got to take a snack. We made cupcakes with green frosting and a hulk ring on the top (thanks for finding those mom). That afternoon we went swimming. It was a lot of fun.


Cute kids swimming. Love the goggles that are squishing his eye!


Oliver got a new bow and arrow and guns (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Oliver, Tyson and Jana). Notice they are all together on his waste. I made him a tepee for his birthday.

Oliver loves his new puzzle. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Adams

This is Mrs. Christy, Oliver's preschool teacher. Thanks for making it a special day for Oliver.

Along with the tepee, I made Oliver some cowboy and Indian outfits. He did not take this Indian outfit off for 3 days straight (aside from church). He had a great birthday and really enjoyed his hulk party. Cute little kids!

My Baby Boy is 4!

My little Ollie has been such a blessing to our family. He is a little angel. Oliver was born on St. Patrick's Day shortly after 1:00 a.m. He was 3 weeks early weighing 8 lbs 6 oz. I'll never forget the first night we brought him home he actually slept so well that night but we were up all night with Sabree who had the croupe for the first time. It was scary! Luckily, Ollie didn't get it. He has always been our good sleeper and has always had an "easy going" personality. His smile, beautiful eyes and long eye lashes would melt anyone's heart. He is such a good boy and has always melted my heart. I feel so lucky to be his mom. I love you Oliver!

That's right! Green pancakes!

Too Long

It's been a long time since I have posted. Oliver broke our camera and it's not as fun to post without pictures. That's my excuse anyway!

We have moved. We live in Fillmore now! It has been so nice. Bart and Lorna (Luke's brother and his wife) live around the corner from us so our backyards touch. All of our kids are the same ages and love playing together so it has been really convenient. We opened part of the fence so the kids could just go between the yards to play. It's really nice. We love being so close to them.

Other than the move, not much is new. Hopefully we're getting a camera in the next week or so and I promise I'll post more!

Flash Back!

Okay it hasn't been that long since these pictures were taken but I haven't posted as frequently as I would like to so I need to catch up.

Oliver loves this Spider Man puzzle. It is pretty big and actually really tricky to put together. After it was done he kept posing by the puzzle and trying to do the same position. He's such a fun little kids. He always makes me laugh!

This is our little one throwing a fit. I'm not sure you can completely tell what she is doing but she always covers her mouth or her eyes with her hands when she cries. She was fake crying and covering her mouth while standing against the wall. SO SAD!!!
Grandma and Grandpa Adams had a special day with Sabree and Gracie (cousin - 5 yrs old) over the holidays. We dropped them off at the mushroom farm (Grandpa's work) and he took the girls home. We had Ellie come to our house and have a special day at our house.

The older girls loading up and excited to spend time with their Grandparents. Sabree still talks about their sleepover and outing all the time. They got to watch a movie (Horton Hears a Who)and have popcorn and then read lots of books. The next day they got up and went up North with Grandma. First they went to a quick doctors appointment with Grandma then went to lunch. After having pizza they got to go to a movie theater and watch Marley and Me and eat lots of popcorn. They felt so special and had such a great time. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa. We feel so lucky to live so close and have you as Grandparents!!!

This girl ALWAYS has bed head! The thing that makes this picture so funny is the red eye that goes so well with the hairdo! She is such a doll!

Moving Again!!!

It's true, we're moving again! I starting packing on Monday and finished yesterday. I decided I should probably starting a packing company because I have become quite efficient! It comes with lots of practice! I could not have been as efficient if it wasn't for all the help that I had with the kids. Thank you Mom, Jenell and Lorna. It would have been so much harder without your hours of service. I really appreciate you guys!

For those of you who don't already know, we are moving to Fillmore. It is about 10 minutes North of Kanosh. We are excited to be in the "big city" with family and friends. Luckily it is not too far from Kanosh so we will still get to have our Kanosh friends too. We have really made some great friends and appreciate all of them!

9 Years!!!

Here's the post that I should have done on January 4th. It was our 9 year anniversary. I'm so grateful to be married to Luke for time and all eternity. He is really, such a good husband. He has always treated me with such love and respect. I really feel spoiled. He never hesitates to let me have a girls night out, he never questions my decisions (or spending!!!), he still always opens my door for me, he will drop anything he's doing if I need his help, he's a great listener, he's a worthy Priesthood holder, he's a great dad, he works hard...the list is endless. Our wedding day (after getting ready, I'll tell the story at the end) was flawless. We were so happy and so in love. The greatest part is that I love Luke even more now. He is my best friend. I know that he will always be there for me! I love you Luke!

I think I pulled a muscle in my back after picking Luke up that day. It didn't help that it was FREEZING! Notice his socks...he forgot to bring black socks with him. You can see his socks several pictures from that day. Funny kid!

I'm not going to tell you what I was saying!!!

This was after the luncheon. My sister Jill decorated the car. She did an awesome job. We were still cleaning out confetti in the car right before we sold it a year later.

Okay, so the getting ready story...I had made a hair appointment with an awesome hair stylist about 3 months in advance and had forgotten about the appointment until someone called to remind me the day before the wedding. I didn't get the message until about 10:00 p.m. and I had booked another hair stylist to do my hair at about 6:00 a.m. It was too late at night to call and cancel the 6:00 appointment with this other lady, plus I thought she would be fine. So, I went to the appointment that morning. I had asked her to do a simple up do with some curls. Seems like no big deal but by about 7:00 she was no where near done. She had failed several attempts to put my hair up. Finally she had it all pinned in place but was still working frantically while time kept passing. It was about 7:30 when she dropped the curling iron and burned my face. At this point I was already worried after watching my moms horrified face for the past hour and a half and now I had a burn on my face, on my wedding day! I got up to go look at my hair and it was awful. Half my hair was flat and the other half poofy. Half the curls were kinky and half would have been flat after an hour. I gathered my things and was going to quickly shower and do my own hair until I remembered the other appointment that started at 8:00. I rushed over and as I walked through the door Darcy's (the stylist) jaw dropped and she says, "What have you done to your hair?" Of course, the tears started flowing and she got to work. She did the best she could with the mess she had to work and the very limited time she had to fix it. I'm so glad I had that appointment though, I left happy!
