Bald Snow White

AKA Olivia

We went Trick - 0r - Treating at the hospital to see Grandma

She knew that there was something good under the wrapper, if only she could have got it open!

Sunny San Diego

This last weekend we went to San Diego for Chris' brother's wedding. The wedding was in the San Diego temple. The temple was very beautiful and the bride and groom seemed very happy. The reception was at Cari's parent's house. They have a beautiful home and they did a great job with the reception. Chris's whole family (now at 21 people) were able to make it down to for the wedding, so it was fun having everyone together. While in San Diego, we also took the opportunity to go to the beach to enjoy the nice weather. It was a fun weekend and we wish Darren and Cari the best.

Baby Grant

Congratulation Dave, Liz, Blake and Sydney,
and welcome Baby Grant!
What a cute Family. We love you!

Blake and Syd were just so excited for their new
baby brother they could hardly keep their hands off him.
Definitely a proud big brother and sister.

And of course the rest of us were excited to have a new little one around. Olivia still isn't sure what to think but it won't be long before she too, can't keep her hands off him!

The Sunshine State!

This last week I got to go to Florida with Mommy and Daddy. Daddy had some work there so he used some skymiles and got mommy and me a ticket to go with him. We went to Orlando. Mommy tells me Mickey Mouse lives there, but we didn't get to see Mickey this time. Mommy said maybe next time, when I'm older, we can go see Mickey and all his friends.

We did go to beach one day but the weather wasn't very good. A storm was coming in so it was really windy. It was fun to see the big waves though and hang out on the pier.

My favorite part of the trip was playing in the big pool. The pool had a big octopus that sprayed water everywhere. While Daddy worked, Mommy and
I got to catch some rays and relax in the pool. I know, it's a rough life.

I really liked drinking the pool water. It was very salty and very tasty!

I also got to see an alligator for the first time. At the hotel they had a pool with baby alligators in it. In this picture the alligators are on the rock to right of me.

One night I was bored, so I decided to crawl into a drawer and hang out. When mommy saw me she thought it was pretty funny so she took a picture.

The trip was a lot of fun but I'm glad to be home now.

I ♥ NYC

Olivia and I were able to go to the big city of New York. We had a great time. Olivia had a lot to take in from the moment we arrived and I think she enjoyed her time in the Big Apple.

Here she is checking out the busy streets and all those tall buildings!

Olivia's first time on the Subway.

great time we missed Daddy

Walking the streets of the city









Poor Olivia was exhausted so
we took a break at Bryant Park -
(hoping to spot a celebrity during fashion week-- which we didn't.) Although I did see all kinds of interesting people.

Shopping at H & M .... that was
my favorite part!!

A big thanks to Curtis for Sharing his toys, books and food! He was such a good sport with little miss Olivia in his shadow every waking moment!

And a HUGE thanks to Nicole for all her hospitality and willingness to have us all week!! We had a great time with you both. Thanks for everything you do!
