Olivia's laugh

I can never get the best part of her laugh on camera, but here is a little sample. Her daddy is the best at making her laugh, and it's so much fun!

Lake Anna

Last weekend we went to Lake Anna in Virginia to stay at a lake house with Jon's Uncle Brad and Aunt Joy and their family. We had a fantastic time playing in the lake, riding the jet skis, tubing, and just hanging out. Olivia liked the water which was as warm as a bathtub.

Jon and Dan swamped the canoe and unsuccessfully tried to paddle.

Getting ready to take a wild tubing ride with Uncle Brad driving. They flipped off many times!

Thanks Brad and Joy for inviting us!!

Giggle

Olivia laughed for the first time today. It was the cutest sound I have ever heard!! I LOVE being her mom!

The Eastern Shore

Jon and I have been wanting to head out to the eastern shore for awhile now, and last weekend, we took the opportunity. We booked a hotel with Jon's discount from work and took off Friday afternoon. We spent Friday evening walking the board walk in Ocean City, and then on Saturday, headed to Fenwick Island State Park in Delaware. Here are a few of the best pics of the trip.

Goodbye for now, Dear Grandma

My beautiful Grandma Bangerter passed away tonight. We were fortunate to see her less than two weeks ago. After we took this picture, I heard her proudly tell several people how she had three great-grandbabies with her at the same time. She loved her family, she loved the gospel and she loved my grandpa. I am sure she is rejoicing to be back in his presence. I love you Grandma Bangerter!

Up to her old tricks again...

Yesterday Olivia thew up on me and pooped on me at the same time. I guess I should be grateful, because that way I only had to change my clothes once. She's so darn cute, though, that I had to forgive her right away. With a face like this, wouldn't you?

In Utah, Olivia...

played with grandpas,

and grandmas.

Met family who loves her...(aunts and uncles)

(great grandparents)

(and cousins)

She sunbathed,

went swimming,



took a bath,
hiked to the top of a mountain


took a nap,
and was blessed.

It was quite the trip!
