For Memorial weekend we went up to the cabin. My grandparents just got done adding a new addition on to to cabin so we all went up to see it. A bunch of my cousins were there too. It was so much fun. I stole some pics from my cousin whitneys blog. Thanks whit!

The finished cabin. I wish I had a before picture because it looks totally different.

Livvy and Quinton in the tub. Lately evertime I pull out the camera livvy pulls that cheesy face.

While we were there we went to visit Mesa Falls. It has been a really long time since I have been there. I forgot how pretty it is.

Softball

My cousin and her husband started a softball team this year and since we live in Idaho Falls now they asked us to play. We are so excited. We had our first game on Monday and we won! It was a lot of fun. I played catcher and I couldn't walk for 2 days because my legs were so sore. I guess thats what I get for never working out! Mike played short stop and he did awesome. We are so excited for the rest of the season. Thanks Bran and Whit!

For Easter We were in Burley. Mikes cousin came home from his mission so we went down to see him. We stayed in this awsome place. It was an old abandonded collage that someone bought and is in the process of renevating. So we stayed in a building that used to be dorms. I have to admit I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be so nice! So we had a wonderful Easter and it was so much fun to get together with all of Mikes cousins.

All of us in our new easter clothes.

A Very Bad Day and A New Tooth

As some of you may know, we have been staying at my parents house for the last couple weeks because we had to be out of our apartment by the 1st of April and we aren't able to move into our house until next week. Anyway, Livvy has been super fussy while we have been here. She is won't eat and she is very hard to get to sleep. So the other day she had been having a really bad day and I hadn't been able to do anything except sit and hold her. I finally got her down for a nap so I checked on caden who was playing nicely and watching cartoons. So I decided to take a quick shower. When I got out I checked on him again and he had complete torn apart my brothers toy airplane. I felt so bad my brother has had this thing since he was 10 years old. So then I got Caden some new toys and told him please be good for a few minuites and I went o blowdry my hair. I had been out of the room for maybe 5 min when I really felt like I should go check on him again. I found him dumping his 10th bottle of fingernail polish all over the carpet, new couches, rug and coffee table. I was absolutly sick! My dad came home and we scrubbed all day and most of it actually came out but there is still a big pink spot that wouldn't come out. Thankfully my parents were very understanding. From now on I will keep fingernail polish out of reach!
That night I discovered what was wrong with Olivia she got her first tooth!

Our New Pets

Mike and I have been wanting to get Caden and Livvy a pet for a long time now but we didn't know what to get them because we can't have animals in our apartment. So the other day we were at a flea market and found these little tiny turtles. The were so cute. They are about the size of an oreo cookie. So we decided to get one for Caden and another for Olivia. We found an old fish tank and bought some turtle food and put them in their new home and they seemed very happy. So the next day we were in Idaho Falls and decided to stop at petco and make sure we were doing everything right. Anyway, come to find out we needed to spend around $300 in equipment to give them everything they need. We didn't know what to do we only paid $20 for both the stupid turtles. And on top of everything else the man told us turtles that small are illeagal in the United States! In the end we bought a new tank and some other things but only spent $100 Hopefully they don't die!

Our New Home

YES!!! We finally found a house! We don't get to move in for a little over a month but we are very excited. I honestly didn't think we were ever going to find something that was going to work but the way it happened I know it must have been fate. We were out with our realtor (who is my aunt) and my cousin Whitney was with us and she happened to mention her friend that was thinking about selling her house and we were in the neighborhood so we decided to go take a look. As soon as I looked at the house I new it was the one. It has everything I wanted in a house and more! She is super super clean and moving into it will be like moving into a bran new house. The neighborhood is really cute. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs with an unfinished basement. And the laundry room is upstairs (which is apparently not very common because its the one out of all the houses we looked at.) So after showing our parents we felt sure it was the one so we made an offer and they accepted! I am very excited about owning our dream home but I am a little sad about leaving Rexburg. I know that sounds silly because it is only 30 min away. But you have to realize that I am a big time homebody. And I don't know anyone that lives in Idaho Falls exept my cousins. But I'm sure I will make friends and get used to it. But I am so excited about our new adventure and I know its the right thing to do and I can't wait to see what the future brings!

Livvy's Milestones

I just wanted to do a post on how fast livvy is growing up it makes me so sad! Everyone keeps telling me she looks more like a toddler than a baby now.

Some of the things she has accomplished in the last few months are:

Sitting up on her own

Waving hi and bye

Can pick up little cherios and put them in her mouth

Screams at her brother when he takes her toys

Only wakes up once during the night (this is much better than her usual 6 or 7!)

I can put a little ponytail on the top of her head

I know that babies grow up, but does it have to be so fast!
