Motorcycles!

Owen loves motorcycles and last saturday
he finally got to ride one with his
Grandpa and Grandma Smith!

Oh my how he loved it! He is still talking about it!

Liberty Park

We had the opportunity to hang out with one

of my favorite little girls in the world!
MABEL!
Oh how we miss her around here!
Owen asks to go see May-May about once a week and this past week
we got to meet up with her and my sister in law Tausha
at Liberty Park!
I took my niece Rachel with me
because her and Mabel were/are
best friends and hung out all the time
when I was Mabel and Bryces Nanny :)

Music Class!

My fabulous neighbor has put together
a music class on Thursdays.
The first time we went Owen pretty much stayed
right by me and wouldn't really participate.
However... the second time we went he
LOVED it and participated in most
everything!
I'm sure it helped that his cousins
Adam and Ashley were with him.
They all had a blast!

Happy 3 month birthday Livvy!

I can't believe how fast 3 months has gone!
My little Livvy turned 3 months on Friday the 19th of August!
At 3 months she is

• Wears size 1 diapers
• Wakes up at 2am to eat and then right back to sleep until 5:30ish to eat and then wakes up for the day around 8:30-9:00am
• She refuses to take a bottle
• Rolling from tummy to back
• Smiling all the time!
• Eating about every 3 hours during the day
• Eating her fists is her favorite thing to do (which she gags herself with)
• Loves watching Owen play
• Is a good girl in the car
• Likes to nap in her swing
• and on her 3 month birthday was the first time I got a real laugh out of her! :)
• She also LOVES her bath

We are so in love with our little Livvy!

Livvy's first time Swimming!

We took Livvy (and Owen) to the
Legacy Center in Lehi
to go swimming for the first time!
In the pictures it looks like Livvy wasn't sure about it
but she LOVED it!
She was so calm the whole time and just
seem so relaxed!
We took her on July 30 which meant she was about
2 months and a half months old :)

I love this little swim suit
it has a hat that matches too :0)

I think a little girl is very loved by
her big brother and her Daddy! :0)

Happy 4th of July!

We started out the 4th of July
weekend with Livvy's blessing on
the morning of the 3rd of July
(That will be a post all on its own!)
Then we went to Trent's parents for
a BBQ and street fireworks!

Livvy with her glow stick! :)

Owen waving his glow stick!
He didn't like the fireworks all that much.
The loud ones really scared him and
he cried a little and clung onto
me for dear life.

We left Trent's parents at about 11 pm and
this is what happens to little boys
that stay up late!
(Isn't he so cute?!?!)
Notice he fell asleep with
his glow sticks :)

Then the next morning (4th of July)
Trent let me sleep in while the kids
"helped" him make breakfast!

It's hard work "helping" Daddy make breakfast!

Our little Chef in training!
:)

Then that afternoon we met my family
up Squaw Peak for a canyon picnic!

Jack Jack :)

Grilling and hanging out with the family!

Owen running away thinking
He was so funny...
Mommy and Daddy did not
agree with his thinking!

It is such hard work being beautiful
that Livvy needed some beauty rest while at
the BBQ :)

My beautiful Niece Addy!

Jack, Addy and Owen loved rock climbing!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July
Weekend!

Livvy's Blessing Day!

We blessed our beautiful baby girl,
Livvy Darlene Smith
on
July 3, 2011
in the Lehi 25th ward!

My sister Marci made Livvy's beautiful blessing dress and bonnet.
The blessing Livvy got from her Daddy was beautiful,
I will let him post about his experience on her blessing day when he has it written.

Aunt Kohleen and Livvy!

Cousin Scarlet and Livvy!
(Cute little side story here... After Livvy's blessing of which she was one of five babies being blessed in our ward, which has to be some kind of record! Anyway... I got bombarded with little girls :) Scarlet, Rosie, Addy, Ayla and Bessie all needed turns looking, loving and holding Livvy during sacrament meeting. Super cute! :) )

Grandma Dawn and Livvy!

An awesome four generation picture!
Livvy and her Mommy with My Mom and My Mom's Mom!

I feel so blessed to be able to have this picture...
I remember when I was a little girl and then a young woman praying that
my Grandma would live long enough to see me married,
that day came a little over three years ago!
Then I prayed she would be able to see me become a
Mommy and that happened a little over two years ago.
Then I prayed that maybe she could stick around until
I had a little girl and that happened just six weeks ago.
Now my Grandma is showing everyone up by being 95,
still driving and in fairly good health.
I love being about to see my Grandma love my kids,
even if they don't remember her
I will remember her loving my kids
and I can tell them how much their
Grandma Julie Loved them!

Trent and his Grandpa Tyler and Livvy!

It was a great day and I was so touched by
how many people came to bless our little Livvy!
She is one lucky girl to be born into a family that loves
and needs her so much!

We Love you Livvy and are so glad you chose our family!
