Did i say busy???

This would be Olivia trying to feed herself. She usually gets beside herself and starts rubbing it in her hair!

Her 12month check up...the dr said she is VERY healthy. She is 31inches, 22 lbs, and in the 75th% for both!

She was VERY over me taking her picture. We have been trying to teach her to feed herself.

This would be Ben and the Mover moving our new piano up our stairs...and Aaron watching.


We got a new piano. This is my christmas present from Ben. We got it early, because we found a REALLY good deal on craistlist that we couldn't pass up. The new piano becoming Olivia's playstation... She loved playing with that roll of film. I found it in our luggage. It was left over from Ben's mission...hahaha.... not used....so she loves chewing on it and throwing it around the house.

We painted....Neverminds the mess. Olivia will find any pile of clean clothing and make sure she throws every piece on the floor.

I love our living room now. I love this color. it makes a WORLD of a difference.

Our new "ride". As from the last post, we have been very busy. We had Olivia's First Birthday, Ben's Birthday, Halloween, My car accident, our wedding anniversary, and looking for a new car all in about 3 weeks time. This is what we found. IT IS WONDERFUL!!!!! it is a 2007 Jeep Commander. Leather, 4x4, Hemi engine, Navigation, DVD system, power everything, back up camera, sun roofs...yes i said sun roofs. there is one at the front of the car, just like others that opens, and there are 2 smaller ones in the back seat. they don't open but they do make the backseat a lot roomier.... there is even a 3rd row seat as well. it is a great car for us right now. we love it and it is the nicest car we have ever had. i love the auto start on the key chain. now the car is heated up by the time i get in it and they have heated seats too!!! needless to say, we have been busy this last month and are DEFINATELY looking forward to the holidays...

Busy Busy...

This happened on Monday on the way to the Gym.... we are ok...but the car is a total loss. That is why we have been looking for a new car.
Olivia getting ready for church. she is playing with my hair clips already.

She LOVED the cake!!

She is good at hugs.

My little girl turned one this month!! she is getting so big. not walking just yet, but standing up and thinking about it.

She is so much fun at work. she loves hanging on me.

at the pumpkin patch....daddy thought this would be a good pic...and it was!

just hanging out in the stroller at the patch.

Our latest family pic. we have been meaning to get to the studio...but ben has been gone in fresno for the last 4 weeks. he is finally home and it is nice. this month for sure! We have been on the hunt for a car. we didn't even have time to celebrate our anniversary. we have been married for 3 years now! It is great to share everything with my best friend, lover and husband! i love you benjamin!
