Happy 8th Birthday Olivia!











For Olivia's birthday she wanted the whole family to go to a movie and dinner. So, everyone that could (Braden, Rachel, Ava, Jamie, Ryan, Gavin, Mimi, Papa, William, Eric, Amy, London and Savvy) all went to see Ice Age 3 in 3D. We all looked lovely in our glasses. Then we went to Livy's favorite place to eat in Salt Lake - Hires. We did this on the weekend when everyone was around so on her actual birthday we had a cake and presents with Mimi and Papa. She got a Wii, Guitar Hero, and a set of scriptures since she is getting baptized in a few weeks. When I put her to bed the night before her birthday she let me know that she would like a birthday banner. She is so funny. So, that night I was up for a while coloring :). I can't believe I have a child that is old enough to be baptized! I am really excited for her baptism and I can't believe what a young lady she is turning into!

More Good Times in Utah :)





Livy took dance classes two of the weeks we were in Utah and had such a great time! Courtney (Parker) Jacobsen was her teacher and she loved it!
Olivia decided one day that we all needed to wear our age. She put foam stickers on everyone that had their age on it. Savvy got hers right on her forehead! Lucky her.

































One Sunday afternoon the little girls were driving everyone crazy so Eric took them all to Liberty park and to This is The Place Monument. It was SO nice of Eric. The girls had a good time and everyone else was able to actually enjoy their Sunday afternoon!

Summer in Utah





One day we went down to Provo and hung out at Ryan and Jamie's. London, Ava and Livy had a good time dressing up. While we were down there we went and checked out Rachel and Braden's apartment. It was nice but a little small - especially with all of us in there. We decided not to take the babies - Savannah and Gavin - out of their carseats and they just looked so cute sitting next to each other.





















Another evening we had Eric's family (whoever was in town) over for some dinner and s'mores followed by fireworks. Jenn and Tyler came and then Aaron and the boys -Andrew, William and Matthew- came, along with Aaron's girlfriend Libby. We all had a great time and we all left smelling like campfire :).









Eric and Spencer celebrated their birthday together since they are only one day apart and Eric flew back on his birthday to Phoenix to work :( . Of course they both wanted different cakes so we had multiple cakes and a fabulous meal provided by Mimi.





























Savvy's Blessing
















We blessed Savannah at my parents home while we were in Utah. It was nice because most of the my family was in town (just Braden and Rachel missed it - they were on their honymoon). We did it in the home and it was really neat. Eric did a great job and Savannah was very good - she even let us get some good pictures of her!
