My Big Girl




So yesterday my baby girl turned 2! I don't think I've accepted the fact that she is growing up quite yet. From a chubby little newborn in the NICU to a fun loving 2 year old. She is a 2 year old in every sense of the word. She's in to everything, throwing tantrums daily, and fighting to be independent. We had such a fun birthday party for her last night. We had pizza and a Abby Caddaby cake. I'm always amazed at how loved she is. We have the best family and friends in the world and I know she is so appreciative of everyone who came to celebrate her big day with her.



Grandma & Grandpa Sells gave her a trampoline just her size. She was nervous at first but loves it now.

Cruisin' in the pink Jeep. Cody wouldn't leave Toys R Us without this Jeep. She is still learning how to use it but she loves cruisin' around.

HAPPY JULY 4TH!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th this year! It is becoming one of my favorite holidays. I'm not sure why I like it so much. Maybe it's the mass amount of BBQ food I get to eat, or the nice hot weather, or the fireworks. Either way I love it more every year and this year was no acception. We went to the Kaysville parade on Friday afternoon with my BFF Kacy Jo and her family. I thought Olivia would be a little more interested then she was. She was too worried about where Hadley was the whole time. She did like the horses but that's the only time she showed real excitement. That evening we went to a BBQ at my mother-in-laws house. It was so much fun and I enjoyed stuffing my face. I get such a kick out of watching Olivia run around after her cousins. She's still the youngest so they are all nice enough to help her act like an older kid. We watched the Davis firework show that night. They were beautiful. Olivia didn't really care about them either. She watched a few go up and said, "PINK!" Then she was jumping on Uncle Nic the whole time. What a fun weekend!









Olivia kept kissing and hugging Hadley but the camera man was not fast enough to capture it.
Olivia loved doing sparklers but she scared everyone a few times. She wasn't sure what end she was suppose to grab.
