He's home!!! After a long 8 months Josh is finally home.  Olivia was so cute when he got off the airplane, she ran right up to him and coudn't stop hugging him.  It was so cute and such a tender moment.  Life is finally back to normal for a few weeks until Levi arrives.

Olivia turns 2!!

I can't believe my little girl is two. Time has really flown by especially the last year with all of the changes we have been through. She is such a big girl. She has a lot of sas but we love her. She is putting sentences together and learning to go potty like a big girl. We miss Daddy so much but he was able to Skype for her whole birthday party. She choose princess's when we were shopping for party supplies. No surprise to me because she is obsessed with Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Ariel, and Tangled.

Josh and I are so thankful for the wonderful spirit Olivia has brought into our lives and continues to bring. We love her so much!

Christmas

Okay so I am way late posting. We had an amazing Christmas minus Josh. We were so fortunate to be home with family. Olivia was a little shy at first when she saw all of her gifts but warmed up very quickly. I think she is really getting the hang of opening presents. I loved watching her expressions everytime she opened a new gift. Josh did a great job and got me my camera of my dreams. Now I just have to learn all the functions.

Time is flying by!

It has been so nice being back in Utah during the holidays. Olivia has loved it here. She is attached to my Dad's side at all times. She really loves all the decorations and Christmas lights that are all around. She is going to be sad when every house we drive by is not lit up or has Santa out front. She is so full of life I just love this little girl. We are excited for Christmas because I know she is going to be so much fun in the morning. We are missing Josh a lot lately but we have been sending him lots of packages filled with love. Olivia loves talking to Daddy on Skype, she especially loves dancing for him. We are so blessed to be around family during this season. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Halloween 2011

It's been a long time since our last post, but a lot has happened and we have been so busy. Olivia and I are in Utah now for a couple months to help the time pass while Josh is gone. It has been so nice to have all the extra help, especially because I have been feeling so crappy. Oh ya and we have one big announcement Olivia is going to be a BIG SISTER. We are excited, and our new addition is due June 4th. Olivia was Cinderella this year, or in her words Cindereellllllelllllla. She loved wearing her princess costume and she especially loved Trick or Treating with her cousins. She was so polite and always said "Thank you" at the door. She also loved looking at all the pumkins and decorations at the porches. I think we have far past exceeded candy overload, but we do have some good memories. We missed Daddy so much but we look forward to next year's Halloween.

Goodbye Daddy!!

Olivia and I spent every minute we could with Josh before he left, even if it meant hanging out in the garage while he fixed the cars. We miss him so much, but we are so thankful for modern technology, and Skype.

Our Trip to Disney World

We wanted to have one last big trip before Josh deployed, and since we are so close to Florida off to Disney World we went. Josh's brother and his wife flew from Utah to met us there. It was such a great trip. The weather was perfect, the lines were short and Olivia LOVED it. It was so wonderful to see her face light up when she saw princesses, the castle, Mickey, Minnie, parades, fireworks and so on. She loved the rides and was not scared or nervous of anything. She truly made our trip worth it. We loved spending quality time with Josh before he left. On the way down we spent a night at St. Augustine. This was such a cute little beach town. It was so fun having Jordan and Chari with us. Josh and I were able to go on so many rides together, and we just loved having the extra company. Now that Josh is away Olivia and I will cherish the memories and wait for his return back.
