Stuck

Liev is suddenly all over the place and climbing in and out of everything- not sure I'm ready for this stage yet! Anyway, he was so proud of himself when he got inside the chair all by himself.

Then he tried getting out and he was a little stuck.


Out. And Happy!

Love this little monkey man!

Not too big for the sink

Grammie's new house has awesome big sinks in the kitchen. Big enough for this boy to bathe in still!


Rease's Art Book

Rease loves to color and draw. She just recently told us that she wants to be an artist when she grows up - I believe it. She made this book of all the artwork she had been working on - she stapled it together and everything by herself. I sat down with her and she showed me all her pictures and told me what everything was. Enjoy!

Twilight Premiere

Us girls at the office are crazy about Twilight. Every time a new movie comes out, we seem to get free tickets from somewhere to see the movie together. This year a pediatric office rented a theatre and invited our office to the premiere showing of Breaking Dawn Part I. We made a night out of it and had dinner together before the movie. We had a fun time being together - thanks Dr. Peterson for the tickets!

Daddy's fingers

So Rease has inherited a few things from her daddy.

1) Her height - she is very very tall for her age just like Josh.

2) Her chubby fingers. Josh has pretty short but stocky fingers and I'm afraid Rease is stuck with the same fingers. I found her one day after she'd been in my room for a while and she was busily trying to get something off her finger. When I asked her what she was doing she held up her hand...

Yep. My wedding ring stuck on her middle finger.
I never realized that my 4 year old has the same size fingers as I do - that definitely comes from Josh's side of the family!

Family Pictures 2011

We had family pictures taken a few weeks ago and just got the prints back this week. We were going for a vintage/40's style this time. Our photographer Kim of Red Door Photography is fabulous and did such a great job with our family. We would recommend her to anyone and are so happy with our pictures! Here are some of our favorites:

JJ Cole

Our favorite sale came back to town - JJ Cole in Logan was sold last year to a company in Chicago, but they brought their warehouse sale back to Utah this year! Kilee, Hayley and I made the trip up to Logan so we could be there and get some cute baby stuff. The sale started at 9:00 but we wanted to be there early to be first in line. Hayley and I got there about 6:30 and braved the cold. This is me waiting in line - I am under the blanket trying to keep warm.

It was worth waiting in the cold though because we were first in line and got everything we wanted once the doors opened. Hayley got stuff to furnish her baby room and I got a new diaper bag and baby bedding.
We had a fun time at our favorite sale!

Stake Volleyball

I played on our stake volleyball team this year. We had 2 teams from our stake and this is the team I played on. We had some really good players and mostly we had fun playing together. This was at our regional games.

Josh brought the kids to watch...
Rease and Rhen got ahold of the camera while the games were going on and had some fun...


Our team went on to win the whole regional tournament! Yep, we are #1! We got these sweet shirts for winning.

I haven't played volleyball since college, so it was fun to get back into it!

9 months

Liev is 9 months old and becoming very active these days. He started crawling about 2 weeks ago and now is all over the place in no time. All of a sudden I have to keep my house clean and little parts and pieces of everything off the floor. I love babies at this age, but he is my fastest crawler yet. The girls were in the "sit stationary and play with toys" stage for much longer than Liev was. I was hoping for that, but he learned to get up and go earlier than I expected. I sure love this sweet little boy!





Liev saw Dr. Erickson this week and he said that everything about this boy is perfect. He's healthy, happy and growing just the way he should be. Here are his stats:

Weight: 19.6 lbs - 34%

Height: 28.7 inches - 67%

Head: 18.3 inches - 82%

Liev is my sweet, lovable boy! Please stay this way forever!

The Good Award

The coveted award at Preschool is "The Good Award." Rease talks about who's going to get the Good Award almost every day. She has been lucky enough to get it twice this year so far. I asked her what the requirements are to get the good award and she told me:

1) Be a good friend to the others in class

2) Share

3) Make a new friend

4) Be kind

Her Preschool is so good about teaching good things to the kids and I was so happy to hear that the good award goes to kids that are friends with the other kids and that are kind. Rease has really been working on this because she always wants to get the good award.



These are the 2 Good Awards she has received. So cute and nice! Thanks for being a good girl Rease!
