Danielle, Krissy, Derek and Meg Visit

We had another wonderful weekend with family!  It is always so fun to have visitors, but so sad to say our goodbyes.  We love you all and are so thankful for the time we get to spend together.

 

 

 

 

 

Please read to me!

If you sit down at our house Ike will go grab a book and run over and sit by you.  Luckily everyone likes to read to him.

 

Ryan, Lindsay and Jace Visit

We just spent a wonderful four days with Ryan, Lindsay and Jace.  We appreciated them coming all this way to see us and meet Olivia.  We love you guys and miss you already!

 

Uncle Ryan is a pro!

 

The boys playing at PlayStation park. 

 

The boys wanting to go outside.  We were usually not as excited about it as they were because it is stilllll hot here!

 

Jace LOVES babies and likes to give Olivia lots of kisses and hugs.  Lucky for him he will have his very own baby brother in less than three months.

 

Uncle Ryan read his fair share of books while he was here.  Ike was sleeping during this picture or else he would have been front and center.

October

October is off to a great start.  My friend Jayme came for a weekend to visit and it was so nice seeing her and getting some girl time.  We went and had a pedicure (something we used to do all the time in Colorado) and ate at a Japanese Hibachi restaurant (my first experience at one).  Thank you for a wonderful visit, Jayme!

 



On Monday night the Garmany family brought us a meal and spent a few hours visiting.  I wish I had taken a picture and that they could have stayed longer.  Ike loved playing with Sam and Ben!  Thank you for the meal and company!  We miss seeing all of you!


Denny and I celebrated 8 years of marriage on the 9th.  Denny brought home Mexican food and we put together Ike's new bike and let him ride it around the house.  Anniversaries aren't very exciting with a new baby, but we loved spending it with our babies!

 

 

I have been trying to catch Olivia smiling on camera for a couple weeks now.  It seems to be more difficult than one would think, but I did finally get two this morning.

 

 

 

With a new baby in the house of course she demands a lot of attention and last night she was fussing so Denny was walking around with her and Ike decided he needed some of Daddy-o attention too.  It feels like yesterday that we were bouncing around with Ike in the evenings while he fussed.  It feels like he turned into a two year old over night!

(Olivia also loves to be held like this and falls asleep just like Ike would.)

 

2012

On our own

Ike, Olivia and I survived our first week without Grammie.  The week just flew by and we hardly left the house.  It will be nice when Olivia is a bit older and we can be a little more adventurous, but for now I am just enjoying all my down time with my babies.  We tell Ike all the time he is our "big boy" now, but I still think of him as my baby!

 

Grammie gave Ike some cool dude sunglasses before she left.

 

Ike can even talk Grandpa into reading a few books to him.

 

Now that it is just the three of us Ike spends a lot of time looking at his books while I feed Olivia.

 

When Ike heads upstairs and isn't making a peep he most likely went up there to get a binky out of his crib, and he is hiding so I don't take it away from him.

 

Here is Olivia happily laying on the floor.  She will only do this for a minute before she decides it isn't as fun as being held.
