Santaquin Adventure and more...

Tayce started his 2nd semester of grad school and at the beginning of the semester he has to go up to UVU and meet with his professors and classmates (he's doing an online program). In September he left me in the hospital with Olivia and it was SO hard to have him gone (thankfully my mom came and rescued me that time). This time Olivia and I went with him, so we didn't have to stay home alone. So this is our adventure, Olivia's first overnight trip!

We got to my mom's house on Thursday and Olivia got to meet Grandpa and Great Grandma Juber. We didn't get any pictures, next time maybe Olivia will be happier.
On Friday we got to go spend the day with Grandma Jo while Tayce was at school. Oh what fun! It was amazing to be able to spend time with my Grandma with out so many distraction it made my day and really actually my year to be able to do so. Love you Grandma Jo!

Olivia cuddling with Grandma Jo. So cute!

Part of the morning we put together mock chicken legs for my mom and Uncle Kevin's birthday party. Here is Grandma Jo and Grandpa Roy working on them!

Aunt Laura loves babies, but my baby the most :) She came by and got to feed the little girly and loved hanging out with Auntie Laura.
On Saturday we hung out with Grandma Nae and Riley for the day, I got my hair done and Olivia met some more people that were so excited to see her. We got to go to Tayce's brothers house in Payson and spend some time there with some of our nieces. (I've got funny stories about Olivia and Riley, but the pictures are on my mom's camera so it will have to wait until I get them.)

My bestest friend Tiffany came to see Olivia and it was the GREATEST! I wish we could have spent more time together, but I am so glad she got to come and hold Olivia and see me for a minute. She is a blessing from heaven she is. Miss and love you all the time Tiff!

This is Syrie, Tiff, Olivia, me and Seryn (sorry the picture is blurry my mom is in photography class this semester so she's working on it :) Love you mom). Seryn is 2 months older then Olivia and just a bit bigger ;)

Olivia doing a little peak smile.

On Sunday we all went to church (except Tay he was at school). Olivia was being happy naked, it's a new thing for her. As long as she is in a blanket she likes to be naked if she is not covered after a minute of being naked she gets a bit grumpy.

Monday was great because Tay didn't have to go to school so we got to be with him. Here is Tay and Olivia cuddling Monday morning.

Olivia is really trying to figure out how sucking her thumb works, she's got sucking on her hand, wrist and arm works. She fell asleep holding her thumb and sucking on her hand.

Happy birthday mom! Mom and Olivia cuddling.

We got home from our adventure safe, which is good because it started to be stormy up that way. It was SO good to be home, Olivia started to be cranky and I needed to be home. It was good to see so much family and have Olivia be able to go with us.

November 18th the day after we got home from the hospital.

2 months later January 18th, look at the change!

This is labor day weekend when Tayce was at school.

This was this last weekend when Tay was at school. WOW! Good work Olivia!

Fun times! I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom. Every day Olivia gets cuter and more fun. She makes my heart melt and I feel so privileged to be her mother. What a blessing to be able to have a child, I will forever be grateful for this miracle in my life. LOVE YOU OLIVIA!
If you are an avid reader of the blog, look forward to pictures and stories of Olivia and Riley and Olivia's first lunch date with her buddy Weston! :) Have a great weekend!
