olivia and toilets, savannah's black eye.

What the heck? I know that is what you are thinking. Olivia loves the toilet. She runs for the bathroom when she sees anyone near it. If I leave the door open. She finds her way in there and plays in the toilet. If the seat is down, which is usually is, she will flush it. (she also loves our garbage can. It is part of our cabinets. You pull out the garbage cans, that why there is a picture of that. I know why is she chewing? I don't know. I try to stop her. I have actually quit throwing away messing things in this can for this reason. She also loves to pull everything out.) She loves to unwrapped the toilet paper and take bites out of the toilet paper roll. Eric is wondering if she is getting enough fiber. Okay, back to the story. Friday afternoon, I was downstairs. The girls had made their way upstairs. Not a big deal. Until, I hear Savannah crying. SHe was repeating over and over, "Olivia hurt me. Olivia hurt me!" What?? How can your not yet one year old sister hurt you? Well, they were playing in the bathroom and Olivia was lifting the seat up and down and slammed the seat down on Savannah's head. It was pretty loud. And funny. I told eric. He started laughing. It was pretty funny. Savannah cried for quite some time. Her eye looks like she has bad 80's eye make up on. I tried to get a good picture of it, but it wasn't happening. I have now learned just to keep the bathroom doors closed.

say cheese!!

Danielle posed for a few pictures. What do you think? I think she is going to kill me!

love this girl!

We left our kids for the first time. I was hard, I am not going to lie. I think it helped that Danielle was going to be the one to watch them. Thanks Danielle!! I am so happy to have you for my sister. Thanks for being a mom to my kids while I was away. I appreciate your willingness to help me out. I had a great time! I am so lucky to have a great sister like you to help me out. Your turn is next!!!

ps. i know i already used this picture, but i couldn't find a cuter picture of just you. we need to work on that!

Happy Birthday to Danielle!

Okay, so her birthday was a week ago. I am late blogging but not celebrating. We had a great time celebrating with Danielle. This was her first birthday in Utah in 4 years. We were excited to spend her special day with her! We went to lunch with the utah sisters and all the kiddos! (We missed you nicole! It would have been so much more fun with you and your boys too!) We had a mini sorta surprise party at my parents the night of her bday! Thanks Danielle for turning 28 so we could have reason to spend more time together!!

Jacque

Okay, Jacque was just a little bugged with me for posting the picture of her in her Oktoberfest Costume. So I am making it up to her with some really cute pictures of her. I posted as many as I could find! Sorry Jacque! Please forgive me. I love you and think you are the greatest sister ever! Am I forgiven? I know you don't like this pictures, but I will take more and then post the really cute ones!

Oktoberfest at Porcupine Grill

So I don't know how many people know that Jacque is a server at Porcupine Grill. Well she is and October at Porcupine means it is Oktoberfest! Jacque gets to wear a cute outfit and serve a special menu (I have heard that you should stick the normal menu though!). Today we decided it was time to see Jacque and her cute outfit in action, but since we all have lots of kids and well not a lot of fun for lunch with the girls, we got take out. The salad was yummy and seeing Jacque in her outfit was fun!
