We're already in the middle of January but Happy New Year! And Merry Christmas, Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Halloween.We can't find our camera. We think it might be in a hotel in Cedar City or something. Or under a bed, or in a backpack. The point is we can't find it. So I am going to try to upload some pictures from my phone.
Thanksgiving and Christmas were wonderful. Olivia got a wiggle car for Christmas and LOVES it. We did the sand dunes and went to St. George for the Stevenson family reunion. All fun, of course.
We finally took down all the wallpaper in our house and painted our kitchen and 2 bedrooms. We lost a big beautiful walnut tree in our backyard during the "wind-pocalypse" we had here in Ogden. We are so sad it's gone. We also lost many shingles off our roof and were out of power for 4 days. We stayed at our parents' houses and when we came home it was 40 degrees inside!!! It made us realize how much we depend on electricity and remember how grateful we are for family.
Olivia had her 2nd birthday! She is getting so big and talking up a storm. She can sing her ABC's, count to 10, jump, run, climb, recognizes letters A-K, loves her stuffed dog and wearing shoes and hats, knows Jesus and President Monson when shown a picture, loves books and the movie Up, can pray by herself and loves to be thrown into the love-sac. She is so cute and we love her so much.
This was a hike in St. George called The Crack. Olivia and David started going through and it was so narrow that David got stuck. Olivia was quite a ways ahead and was crying because she couldn't get up the next set of rocks and she was scared. David had to inch his way up so that I could go under him and help Olivia. This is after I caught up with her.
