Camille, Kellen and Olivia headed for home this morning. I've had the most wonderful time with them here! It seemed like every day was filled with fun. We didn't do anything monumental. Just being together, doing the everyday things is just great for me!
They were pretty much insepreable while she was here. "Can I let Lizzy out?" and when she says out she means in. No wonder Lizzy gets depressed when they leave. She gets about half of Olivia's food while she is eating and lots and lots of doggie treats. Liv seemed to have come to a new understanding with Lizzy...she has been kind of rough with her (liked to ride on her and pull her feet out from under her) in the past, but this visit she was very gentle and sweet with her.
Saying goodbye is never easy. It's been so fun to have Candice spend more time over here too. Olivia has a way of wrapping herself around your heart and I think she's wrapped pretty tight around Cheweys. She told me today after Camille left that she has decided that she DOES want to have kids! Really? Can you imagine how beautiful her babies would be?
A good belly shot so we could compare how big the baby is now and when we see them again. Camille was pretty sick when they first got here...lots of throwing up! So she called her dr. and he got her a prescription that has seemed to help....just makes her tired.
She is at about 11 weeks now so I hope she will start feeling better soon. It's hard to watch her be so sick but she has a great attitude about it and is just so happy to finally be pregnant! We are so thrilled to see their little family growing.
We got this beach ball at the dollar store and Olivia couldn't get enough of it. Forget the movies and playland and the zoo. I want to stay here and play with my beach ball!

I operated...she is fine now.
We had a fun day at Wheeler Farm while Kate was here.

I had Bunko here last week and Camille and Candice were such a big help to me! We made tamales and an avacado salad that was pretty good. I don't know how the ladies felt about the tamales. Might be an acquired taste.. They were all nice about it anyway.

Camille and Candice substituted and it was fun to have them. Lots of laughing! The Bunko ladies are great. Very sweet with my girls.
Trying to not have double chins

We had pretty crappy weather while they were here, but Olivia didn't mind at all. She wanted to be outside playing whether it was raining or not!dress up
We went over to Grampa's and had a good visit with him. Olivia loved all of the fun things at his house and wanted to stay for pive more hours
Warren happened to be there when we stopped by. It was nice to visit with him. Camille found out she only lives about a mile away from him in AZ.
We went into Petsmart to look at the animals and saw the Koi fish were on sale so we picked out a pretty yellow and white one.
Olivia was pretty excited about it and named it Myra. Of course.
This was the last we saw of him. He might be kind of scared of the other fish that are about twice his size.
Kelley found the box of the girls old Barbies up in the Attic and got it down. Now that was fun! We played Barbies for hours. There was some old Barbie furniture too that just fit in the doll house.

This was my first Barbie (Midge) She is in pretty good shape (except for a few bite marks and missing toes) for her age.
The original Polly Pockets! Those hold a lot of memories...I think all the girls played with them.

Olivia did not like the Beauty and the Beast doll. She put it on the other side of the room and didn't want to play with it even when we took the mask off and he was the handsome prince.

We met Meg and Ryder at a bouncy place called Jumpin Jacks. It was a fun place for kids with lots of energy.
Wore me out just sitting there watching them.

Camille and I played this for a recital years ago. Kind of rusty but still so fun to play!
Liv drew a cat for Chewey. "Why does it have so many legs?" "So it can run paster!"

We had some fun playing hopscotch. That brought back a lot of great memories of playing this for hours with my girl friend Leslie LaPray. She lived right across the street and was my best friend when we were little girls. Hopscotch, jacks, monkey bars and roller skating. Those were good times.
We went to see "How to train your dragon" with Meg and Ryder. It was a cute show but super loud. Seriously why do they turn the volumn up so high??? I was deaf (more than usual) all evening after the show! I didn't realize Olivia was afraid of the dragons till we went to go to the new Shrek movie and she said she didn't want to go because there was scary dragons there.We met Holly and Jeffery and Hannah out at Chick- filet for lunch and had a good visit with her. Her kids are darling. When they were in the play place, Jefferey was very protective of Oliva. It was funny when Camille got them all a ice cream cone, the girl that worked there brought them all at once and when she tried to hand them to the kids, dumped them all over them.
Just a fun afternoon browsing around at Target

We went over to see the shop while Kelley was painting there...it's really looking good. They are working on getting one of the places ready for a nail shop to go in.
We went to El Primo taco that was just down the street and while we were waiting for our food it started raining really hard. Liv didn't mind. Caught the rain water in her mouth and found some good puddles to jump in!
Kellen got here thursday afternoon. It was great to have him here for a few days.
Kelley was trying to put together his Haiti pictures for a presentation for the Aaronic Priesthood commemoration. Kellen said he would help him and made a great program out of the pictures he had. He added more information and some great scriptures that really added a lot to it. Thanks so much Kellen!
