Proud to be an American!!!

This years fourth of July celebration was a little different from the rest, This year we had some good friends over for a special celebration. a celebrations of the freedom of our country and a person that I actually know personally. His Name is Kaleb Harris and he just returned from Afghanistan on Memorial weekend. He has become a special person in my life whom I had a lot of respect for , He is not only a soldier that has served our country but he is the father to my dear sweet Isabella.

This is a quilt that I made for him (with some help from my Pink Pickle. THANKS Pickle) for that service to our country. Thank you Kaleb for risking your life for all of us here enjoying the cushy life.

This is the back of the quilt and the label!

Kaleb and his mom!

Me, Kaleb and the Sweet B!!

Kaleb and his whole Family came over, I think he was a little surprised. Not sure he saw that one coming.

On the watermelon cake was a great big ant! It was way cute!

Sweet B enjoying her cake and strawberry's and cream! I'm very thankful to Kaleb for sharing the time he has with his daughter with Me and our Family! We don't get to see much of her these day's but I'm very thankful for any time we get with her.

Future Fabriholic!!

I'm thinking that my sweet little Olivia is going to take after her mom! YAY ME!!!
She really enjoys fabric, she enjoys laying on all the quilts tops that I spread out on the floor, Every time some one comes over to bring me there quilt to quilt for them she has to try it out and lay down on it. It's way to funny and cute.!!!

She is mimicking me by laying out the blocks

Sorting her fabric squares!!

"What do you think mom? Does this one match?"

Toy Story!!!

Olivia discovered this Jessi doll that was Taylor's a couple of weeks ago, since then she has not let Jessi out of her site. She absolutely LOVES her. If she loses her for some strange reason she walks around the house with her little hand held up suggesting were is she mumbling something that I don't really understand, but I know what she wants and she don't give up until she finds her. She even takes her to bed with her and has her in her clutches until morning when I pick her up out of her bed in the morning Jessi is in her hands. When i but her in the car seat Jessi is in her hands, she won't lose contact with her not even for a second to let me put the seat belt on.

See this is just after waking up!!

I did not notice that When I took these pics that the doll was in them also! What cute little girls!!! I Love My Little O and MY B!!! Look at the smile on her face looking at that doll.

She Holds her very close to her body.

Here she got distracted for a split second, when I went to pick her up she grabbed her from me like a dog taking back its food you just took. not quite that vicious but you get the picture.

She feeds her everything she eat and then some, she is quite the little mommy! She even gets wipes out though out the day and cleans her face and hands off. But She does have a clothe body and has a talker box in her and can not be washed, I'm going to have to try to clean her some how some day when I can get her away from her for a day.LOL Ya right!!

She sits with her she dances with her, if you ask her wee Jessi is she holds her up and gets the biggest smile on her face. I have never seen a baby this small like a toy this much.

And LOOK at Jessi she is Happier than ever she has Olivia for her best friend, and she don't seem to mind that she is dirtier than dirt!!

Photo shoot with a "B"

So yesterday, I was home most of the day with a sick kid, after taking my Mom to the Hospital I came home and ran around the house all day with very little to show for my effort. But I did get One thing done that i have been meaning to do, I made Taylor's Teacher This picture I found HERE. Hers was cuter than mine but I just used what i had around the house. Including used crayons.

I Thought that my tree out back of my house looked so pretty so I took a few more pics. We planted this tree for my oldest daughter Ashley when Taylor was born because we planted one for him to take a pic by each year to show how he grows, I wish we would have lived here when Ashley was born so we could have done the same for her. Course that Idea did not come until much later in my life.

Since I don't have much more room in my yard i think this might have to become Olivia's tree, it will have just had a head start On baby O!! I do have pics of Ashley by the tree out in front of my house and wow how that tree has grown since we moved here i will have to post about that later when I get my older pics switched to digital.

This one I was laying down on the ground to take the pic and when I got back up I discovered I had been laying down next to a SNAKE!!! EEEEKKKK ya that was exciting. NOT!!!!

The Cutest !!

Olivia had her bath and sat down to watch her show, not even ten minutes later I come in and she is fast asleep.

Today I was taking a show and Olivia came in with this on, I did not put it on her. She put in on all by her self.

She is a pretty independent little girl, she even puts on her own pants socks and shoes. One day she came out of her room with a complete out fit for me to put on her complete with a top a skirt and a pair of sox. She is too too funny!!

16?.....Already!!!!

16 months that is, one of my friends is learning to be a photographer so we got to be her model, these are my shots of her, not very good I know! I defiantly needs lots of help and practice. But I did catch some good expressions of her. She is mommy's little sweet heart.

I think this one is a super sweet look on her face!

She was getting tired, her eyes started to droop she sat in the same place for a very long time oh and I found out she really likes barbies .

She would not put those dolls down.

LOL!!!!

What a beautiful Baby girl! And she is mine!!! I can't believe God would give such beautiful children to me. I'm a pretty Lucky Lady!!!!

Spring Break 2010

We took a trip to southern UT, we found some good trails to take the ranger on, Olivia loved to ride in the ranger, she was not afraid at all.

This reminded me of our days going to moab, picking our line to go up with out rolling the vehicle, here I rolled back and caught some air!! WAA- HOO!!!! Scary!

Here are my two little hams!

The kids were trying to get the bunny's to come to them, they actually got really close to them! Olivia is not afraid of anything, she reminds me of her big sister.

This is one of our camp spots, we had a few we ended up in Salina it was pretty fun there we stayed in a park called butch cassidy!

The Butch Cassidy park had a bird aviary, it was really neat!!

Taylor preferred to ride the bike with dad!!!

This was so funny, I leaned out of the trailer with the camera and said hey Olivia look over here, she leans towards Taylor and Hams it up!! What a cutie! I took a lot more pics but it would take all night to upload. You can check them out on my facebook.
