We're Out On A Limb
Our Little Family
- -KJ
- Kevin and I were set up my senior year of high school, shortly after he had returned home from his mission. I think true love began to blossom the night he took me to my Senior Prom! Just kidding! We had a great friendship that turned into a long distance relationship that turned into true love. We were married October 23, 1999 in the Las Vegas Temple. We waited 3 1/2 years before we had our handsome little devil, Spencer. He is a good little boy, but knows how to work it when he wants something. Miss Olivia Lauren came three years later, and is so much fun. She LOVES her big brother, and she is a party animal! Life couldn't get any better than this. I love my family!

You Should Write That Down!
- Jan 22, 2009: Olivia has a cold, and went into the kitchen to grab a big plastic bowl. She thinks she has to cough into the bowl everytime. I guess I should just be grateful she is trying to be prepared.
- 2008: Spencer has, for the last year or so, been under the assumption that he is a scientific genius. He knows how all things are and came to be. Just ask him anything, and he'll tell you.
- Oct 13, 2008: Olivia said she was "two of a half." Meaning 2 1/2 of course. It made me smile.
- July 7, 2008: Spencer said, "I mess it, YOU clean it!" Um, EXCUSE ME!!! No he didn't!
- June 25 2008: Spencer quoted a line from The Bee Movie, and had an accent just like Jerry Seinfeld. I was dying!!!
- June 2008: Can someone teach my child to just talk? She screams everything! ;)
- May 3008: One of my favorite things about Olivia lately is that she has an "east coast" accent". So funny. My fave is when she says, "Close the dooah (door)."
- April 14, 2008: Spencer blew his first bubble with gum!
- November 3, 2007: Spencer recited the ENTIRE Pledge of Alliegence! I was so pleased! I am glad to know he is paying attention in school. Also, Spencer split his head open AGAIN. He had to get three stitches.
- November 2, 2007: Olivia now says NO WAY! It was cute at first, but NOT anymore!!! I also love the way she says breakfast. She says "buckus."
- October 29, 2007: Spencer learned how to snap his fingers!
- October 17, 2007: Olivia learned how to do PERFECT sommersaults! It is so funny to watch her! She knows she is pretty impressive!
- October 13, 2007: Aunt Aleda gave Spencer a little guitar from Mexico. He was so excited, and the whole way to lunch he played songs in the car. Some of the words to one of his songs were, "You have your good intentions, but everything goes wrong." What!!! Is there a 40 year old trapped in a 4 year old body?
- October 10, 2007: We were driving down to Vegas and it was night time. Spencer was looking out the window and said, "Mom, I can see a caculation!" He meant a constilation. So cute!
- October 8, 2007: Olivia wore her first night gown. She loves it! Did I mention she is talking like crazy! She loves to say "All done!"
- October 5, 2007: Spencer heard me say Olivia, and I really pronounced the 'O'. He then told me her name wasn't O-livia, it was A-livia and that her name didn't start with an 'O'. He was shocked when I told him it in fact started with an 'O'. He asked me why we just decided that and that we should have decided that when we were at the hospital. Hee hee! I was dying!
- August 12, 2007: Olivia is literally repeating everything you say to her! I better be careful!
- August 5, 2007: I noticed that Spencer cut his own hair today. He did it while Kevin and I were in Vegas, and he was staying with Bree and Eric. He tried to blame it on Bree! What a turd!
- July 23, 2007: Olivia has learned to say "poo poo" today, and already thinks it is a funny word. It doesn't help that I laugh everytime she starts laughing! Also, Spencer said today that when he grows up he wants to be a pilot. I can't wait to hear what it will be next week!
- July 1, 2007: Spencer has noticed black people and started asking questions. I just let him know that everyone has a different color of skin but it doesn't make us different inside, and we are all Heavenly Fathers childern. He also noticed that a doctor he went and saw had absolutely NO hair. I was panicing the whole appointment that he would say something about it. Thankfully it wasn't until we got into the car!
- June 25, 2007: Olivia puts her sandals on and they were even on the right feet!
- May 30, 2007: Olivia learns to make a buck tooth fishy face. So funny! It is the best when she sucks in and makes a sucking noise! She can also make a crazy grunting noise.
- May 22, 2007: I caught Spencer and his friend Isaac mooning eachother in Isaac's clubhouse. Funny, but he got in a little trouble, kind of!
- May 17, 2007: Olivia knows a pretty good handful of words, but as of the last two weeks or so she has only been saying "daddy." Everyone and everything is daddy. Can you guess who her favorite is?
- May 10, 2007: Spencer started soccer
- May 7, 2007: Olivia gives high (and low) fives.
- May 1, 2007: I forgot to say that she points to her eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and tummy too!
- April 30, 2007: Olivia has been dancing and kissing! She can also go down the stairs now!!! Another thing that she has been doing for a while, that I love, is sitting on her bumper pad like a bench. She is like that everytime I go in to get her.
- April 15, 2007: Olivia learns how to fold her arms. I love it!
- April 10, 2007: This is gross, but has to be written! Spencer had diareha and he described it this way, "My bum popped and then there was dirty water." Nasty!
- April 8, 2007: Olivia eats kitty food! I actually heard her say "Mmmm!"
- April 4, 2007: Spencer learns how to wink ;)! Sooo cute!
- April 3, 2007: Olivia says "Uh oh!" Also, Spencer has a major freak out because I wouldn't watch him pee! When I finally gave in he didn't want me in the bathroom.
- March 31, 2007: Olivia learns to get off the couch, the right way!
- March 28, 2007: Olivia jumps
- March 25 & 26, 2007: I told Spencer to use his brain. He told me he didn't have one. The next day I made a wrong turn and said, "Oh no!" When he asked what was wrong I told him I wasn't using my brain. He said, "That happens to me sometimes too."
- March 24, 2007: Spencer gets EVERYTHING except his mattress taken out of his room for being so naughty!
- March 18, 2007: Olivia discovers her shadow!
- March 17, 2007: I told Spencer that we were going somewhere with Uncle Garrett and Aunt Nicole. He said "like on a cruise?" Too bad it was just to dinner!
- March 7, 2007: Olivia learns to drink out of a straw
- Feb. 12, 2007: Olivia learns to walk!

I think I need to head swap that more serious one of me! I liked it at first, but it seems weird without me smiling!!!
I think they are all really cute!
Good pictures. I like your hair in them!
Wow! Fancy! They turned out really nice.
Cute pics. I want to see the one with the thumbs up!!!! I have to compliment you on how good you are about getting pictures of your kids. I am not so good with the camera, remembering to use it. The kids pics are very cute.
very cute. i am hoping we can get our family pictures taken when we are in vegas this summer. we will see if it actually happens! olivia is looking more like kevin i think!
so how does kevin like his veneers? taylor would love to get some to replace his tiny ground down teeth one day. were they pretty pricey?
Curly hair! Cutey, I don't think I have ever seen that on you.
He loves his teeth, and he LOVES Cal Evans (the dentist who did them). He did his front four even though he only needed his front two. He just thought it would look better. They were pricy, but it seems it is about the same price everywhere you check. He had to get them done or he wouldn't have front teeth! Just hold off till Tay is makin' the bucks!
Stacey, these are the ones with the thumbs up! Hopefully they look good enough to be that! They just need to be cropped and have a little editing done. I didn't post our family one because we definately need some head swaps! You can see the final product when you come to my freakin' house and see them on the wall!!!!
Haha! We posted comments at the same time!
It has been a while since you have seen me! I do it curly a lot more now. I used a curling iron in the pictures, but I have really naturally curly hair, except on top. I am hoping one more baby will take care of that for me!
You guys are darling...I love Oli's outfit!
Those turned out so nice!You guys look really good. Olivia looks so grown up already....CRAZY!
Beautiful family and location. I wish Vegas was green!
I got my teeth done 4 years ago, as we all know, I really needed the help! A bridge, 2 crowns and 3 veneers totaled $7000. But, so worth it. I love my smile now! The guy that did mine is still in town if anyone wants his name.
Those are adorable. Your kids are so big.
Nonono, totally hot. Don't swap anything.
Nichole - give me his name.
You all know I posted these so you could tell me how hot I am am and how cute my family is!
How's that tooth Alli? Hee hee! You should go to Kev's dentist (or Nicholes)! My mom is making an appointment for your mom next week. She is trying to get her away from the Dentist Who Will Remain Nameless. Kev loved this guy so much he said he would even go down every six months to get a cleaning at his office!!! Kev HATES the dentist.
I hate the dentist too, because the Dentist Who Shall Remain Nameless (here to for called DWSRN) used to tell me "aw, its no big whoop, toughen up" and then yank teeth that didn't need to be yanked. Or the fun time where he pulled two molars out on the bottom right leaving me one to chew with and said "so chew on the other side"...ok sweet. Good advice Bishop...er...I mean...DWSRN.
I know, I am seriously considering selling Mike's car so I can eat solids again.
I likie the serious picture of you! You look hawt! And Spencer took a really good pic.!
Bread is easy enough to gum and chocolate just melts in your mouth. Slurpees, come on, you don't have to do anything!
Wow. You totally guessed my diet yo. Seriously. Sadly...
I think having dental issues is a new diet fad. A girl in my ward had to have her jaw bone cut and moved, she couldnt eat solids for 8 weeks, she lost 20 pounds!!!! Cal is great, I need to go back so my jaw stops popping out,that requires braces! Any one got a few grand they can give away!!Just kidding.
The pics are great,I just wanted to see the one you said Spencer had a thumbs up at the camera!;)
Very cute! We took our family pictures this past weekend when the Wyats were down. Hopefully they turn out as cute as your famlies.
I swear my mom is at the dentist every other week getting all her junk fixed! You would never know because her teeth are beautiful. Should I be surprised if she comes back with her jaw wired shut? Prolly not!
Alli, that is every womans diet! But cept it might include a Sonic Diet Coke instead!
WITH lime and extra ice!
My dentist was Dr. Golpa, with New Age Smile. He was on Rainbow and Sahara, but moved to the southwest. His ad's are everywhere, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have seen one! He really only works on "smile makeovers" now. Every dentist that has seen his work is very impressed.
Give up the name of the DWSRN!! I used to go to a mormon guy...total perv! He used to talk about my mom's boobs..."you must get those from your mom". Freaked me out!
This guy is totally not a perv. I love his guts, but his work has gotten sloppy. His son is working there now, so maybe things will get better!
I am going to check out your new smile when I see you at the reunion!
Liza, you gotta get that lime in there or you might get scurvey.
I know i'm really behind but I like your pictures a lot! I love the one of you and Kev lookin down!
amazing!
There was a certain mormon that went to school with us ('96) whose dad was a dentist. I know that he is a dentist now...wonder if that is him?
Did I ever tell you that I had Kent Wagner's brother, David, in my class when I was teaching at Centennial. Such a small world!
Cal Evans did my front two and I like them better than my original teeth! Seriously. And then he fixed two fillings that DWSRN did and fell apart. I love goin to Cal cause I seriouly have not ever felt a dang thing...He's such a pansy when it comes to pain. I'm sad though, cause my dental work is all done and going to the dentist in Vegas was my one good excuse to get out of Provo and have some fun in Vegas. Boo to that. I need a new excuse.
Nichole, good guess. Shhhhhhhh! I love that guy, but he just got too sloppy! Oh, I feel guilty!
How about we go because we still have butt loads of family there.
Well of course thats the best excuse. But making mandatory visits are always a nice way to have to leave Provo.
I'll take "Anywhere but Provo" for 200 Alex!!!
Maybe you could ask Veronica and Brock if you can start going to her doctors appointments. Those are monthly and mandatory! Tacky, but still an excuse!
That would be so funny! Can you imagine what the doctor would think? Hahahaha!
Sorry if I gave it away! You can delete my comment if you want!
WHAT!!? Where have I been?
We all knew who DWSRN was but I am now curious if that is who you were talking about that was a perv? Or was it that you just guessed who we were talking about?
She guessed who we were talking about. I don't know who the perv is buy I am curious too! Do tell Nichole! Welcome to the hen house!
no but three of us still are affiliated with that person...
My mom is working on that Ashley! Your mom has an appointment next week with Cal!
Alli, can he seriously google this crap! Oooh wee T'Shane, weez be in turrble!
I know KJ! Haha. Sweet.
Oh and Nichole, you've piqued my interest...spill it.
I guess I said too much in that last comment...my sister warned me that many people on these blogs are connected. I don't want to get anyone in trouble!
Kjersten should delete all of this post ;)
I googled the names, and I didn't see trash!
it takes a few days sometimes for the Google spiders to crawl your site. Either way, I deleted the names I posted.
I'm not worried. If someone read of figured it out, and it got back to the DWSRN, he might pick up his game!
I'm now related to who you are talking about but I am curious as to what the capital letters stand for.
Dentist Who Shall Remain Nameless
Shhhhhh Mel!!!!!
Talk about someone needing a new post ...GOSH!!!
Jeez, I know! This week has been crazy with my hubby out of town! I promise tomorrow! Crap, it is tomorrow. Ok, later today!
I'm curious as to when you sleep. I know you get up and go to the gym and most of your posts are late, or early in the morn. I cant function if I dont go to bed before 11:30. Is that cuz Im 30? How do you do it?
Kev is out of town so I was bored. I do usually get on after he goes to bed. I don't go to the gym until 10 ish and I am in a different time zone than you! Remember!
Honky Tonk Black Jack....New postings are being waited upon. Didn't you shave the midget's head. I don't believe it!!! It's like they say...HOw many bouncing babies can you get in a tire? DO IT!!! or I will make you do it like James Bailey used to force Jono to vacuum the room.
I did forget about the time difference. And I want to know what James did to Jono to vaccume! Maybe I can use it to get my kids to clean their rooms!
Stacey there was no real trick. Jono would go limp and James would pick Jono up and hold his hand to the vacuum and they would vacuum together. It was like watching a scene from "Weekend at Bernies"
