It's Been Crazy!

LONG POST... Well A LOT of Pictures! 
Life got a little crazy the begining of this month. On the 7th Tyler's mission president's wife called me to tell me that Tyler had broken his foot! They told us not to worry.
On the 9th I got a call from Tyler to discuss what was going on with his foot and to talk through some options. I was so surprised to hear his voice when I answered my phone. But after that call a lot went down! Not even an hour later I got a call from his mission president telling me he would be flying home, not like in a week like Saturday (this was Thursday). So I was in charge of contacting family and getting things ready for him to come home to live with Tay, Olivia and I in Cedar. 
So here has been what's been going on at our house. 

Saturday, February 11th at the St. George airport waiting for Tyler's airplane to come in.
Riley eating his airport treats!
Tayce always making funny faces!
Mom and Olivia waiting for the plane! 

HERE HE COMES!
Wouldn't take the wheelchair. Told them he wanted to walk in. Here he is crutching home!
First time meeting Olivia!
Riley caught up while he was gone! He is for sure be the tallest!
Family picture with no Tayce, who knows where he hid during pictures! WELCOME HOME TYLER!
Tired Tyler and Olivia!
First time holding his niece! So CUTE.
Keith and Chelsea were there as well as Kimmy. We only had a short amount of time to get things ready, but we got signs and balloons and went to dinner and had a good chat. When we got back to our apartment Shayla and Bryan had put up more balloons for him. It's weird having him back, but it's good. He has changed a lot in a good way and I am proud of how hard he worked!
Olivia is into holding onto things and Sunday the 12th she decided Daddy's lip was good to hold onto.
Just hanging on.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Hanging out with Uncle Tyler!
Doing her poses for the camera! She is the best Valentines I could ever ask for!
Well on Valentines I took Tyler to get some things at Walmart and it was CRAZY. We are not frequent Walmart goers, but for clothes that are affordable it works. Well lets just say the card isle was super funny full of grown men surrounding the Valentines cards! When we were leaving the parking lot was a little insane and we were waiting to turn to leave and a big truck backed up into my beautiful car. It was a little scary, but no one got hurt. It is now all fixed and pretty, thank goodness for insurance!
Taking a nap with Dad.
Tyler got a cast on which made life a bit easier and safer for his foot. He will be in it for 4 weeks then they will re x-ray it and evaluate. If all is healed up he will go in a walking cast for another 4 weeks and then he should be back to normal. :)
Reading scriptures!
Had to show you that chubby! Got to hang out with a new good friend and she and her husband got to meet Olivia and they took some pictures for us! So good to see you guys!
SPIDERMAN!
Someone is getting SO big!
Is loving to hold on and pull things to her mouth. She loves licking and chewing and sucking on anything!
Love that face.
Watching basketball with Uncle Tyler. She loves sitting with Tyler and hanging out.
There they are watching the Heat or something like that.
This baby girl is a happy girl, especially in the morning! She loves to talk to you and smile and even laugh a little. She truly is my sunshine!
She loves her play mat. Aunt Brenda and her girls gave her this and she loves it. Thank you so much family!
Sorry about the red eyes. But look at that cute smile. Jeni and Shayla came over and she loves these girls. They can always get her to smile!

Went on a walk today. It was a good walk. We love going on walks whenever we can. It is nice to get out of the house, but to be away from the hacking sick people that hang out everywhere! 

Well folks life is good. It is a bit crazy and crowded, but it is good. Tyler is doing well. He is getting ready to make some school decisions and things. Olivia is doing great. Needing her oxygen less and less and becoming more and more active. She has some big appointments coming up to check her development and her heart and things to make sure all is well and then we just wait and watch our miracle! Thanks for your love and support! Have a great weekend!

It's a shame that you guys have struggled getting babies here, because she is SO GORGEOUS! I can hardly wait to see Alice and Graydin and see how beautiful they are too!
