What I love...some things never change. I have this same picture of when Livi was just a few months old. Sunday morning is a great time to spend with daddy!
It's been a while since I've updated. Saturday was nice and rainy here in Vegas. Considering the amount of rainfall I'm sure we maxed our yearly rainfall totals. Really??? I don't know...it rained a lot! Anywho...we all attempted a trip to the store, we thought it could do Livi some good to get out of the house. She was a trooper and held on as long as she could. She picked out a really cute pink camo hat that I'll have to adjust the size a bit but it'll work. On the way back to the car she threw up a bit (thank goodness for all the rain:)). Later in the evening we went to the McMillan's house and even made ice cream. 
Livi stayed on the couch most of the time, but did get excited to watch Todd and Ben play Hullabaloo. She even joined for a little while. The most fun of the evening was to watch Aaron play with the boys. He was in absolute heaven. The boys are 7 and 2 and very much boy boys, if you know what I mean. Keeping in mind that it was pretty cool out, the 3 boys decided to play with the ice that was left over in the ice cream maker. Ben, the younger of the two, didn't care for it much, considering it was salty, it was too cold for his liking and quickly came to mama to warm up his hands. Todd, the oldest did what older boys do and tried different experiments like throwing it, or licking it, or my favorite, sticking it down the little one's diapers!!! Ben didn't like it. Aaron, I think I mentioned before, was in HEAVEN! Everything Todd did Aaron relished and did more. He would not stop SUCKING on the salty ice and then started throwing the ice, then put 1 and 1 together and would put the ice in his mouth, run to the grass and spit it out. None of the boys were wearing shoes, and Ben was actually in only his diaper at this point. Aaron, on one of his passes slipped and fell flat on his stomach. He started to "cry" (most of you know, Aaron doesn't "cry" when he gets hurt as much as he whimpers). He picked his face up off the concrete patio, looked inside at all of us adults giving him pouty lips, looked down at what/where he was laying stuck out his tongue and...yep! You guessed it...he started licking the salt water off of the cement! Yes Bill and I are so proud. Our daughter was reading at age 3 and our 2 year old son licks water up off the ground. It was great! I will never stop smiling when I think of that moment in time.
Unfortunately the evening ended on a sour note...let's just say our friend could've not cleaned the bathroom before we came, because we ended up sanitizing it before we left! Poor Livi.
Sunday was a nice day, besides the "postlude" of breakfast on the floor. (When your little girl has breakfast cravings of Top Ramen and chips and salsa, it's hard not to give in, but man do we need to invest in a good carpet cleaner.) Sorry about the graphics. You mom's can appreciate it I'm sure. :) Livi's Sunday School teacher came over after church and read a Curious George book to her and a couple other friends stopped by to give Bill and I certificates for a night on the town. Livi was very excited when an agent from Bill's office showed up with dinner from "the restaurant with the big horses" (P.F. Changs)

Thank you Sister Whitbeck for helping Olivia feel so carefree!

Hello Family,
I'm so glad you had somewhat of a normal weekend and some fun with your friends. Hopefully, Olivia can overcome the nausea and keep those chips down to gain some weight! I love and miss all of you and can't wait for our next trip to see you.
Much Love,
Grandma Susie
We had a great time with you guys on Saturday. Glad it was a good night for Aaron. One of these times Olivia will be feeling better and it will be fun for her, too. By the way, I think my boys were asleep that night before their heads hit the pillow.
