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!

oh i love it! Coke is a fave too! And about the twins.. you know heavenly father is sure handing our twins like its candy.. i can name a couple who are pregnant with twins.. you might be one of the lucky girls under the big pinyata of twins!
Borrow mine for 24 hours, and then if you still want twins...you can totally handle it! It gets easier, but I would not wish the 1st 6 months on anyone!
Lunch soon? Maybe we could meet closer to you next time.
I want twins too, but if I say it around Brody, he tells me we aren't having any more after this one! Haha.
That means we just have to have one at a time a few times and then on our last pregnancy have twins. Cuz Brody would certainly say he was going in to get "clipped." :o)
please please have twins! oh please.
You are a saint with that food storage project!!! I hope I can get 1/4 has good as you with that!!!!
ha ha Ryan seriously thinks we are having twins without a doubt! But that would be much better if you did instead of us and he would still be so happy. I am sad you weren't in vegas with us on our short trip! I think I was constantly super full the entire time... Ha I guess that is what you do on vacation!
Mel, last time we had lunch I kinda reconsidered on the twins (even though yours were being so good). Your stories were scaring me. The idea of them when they are older is what I love. Boy and girl seems ideal.
Lunch sounds good to me. I don't care where we meet. Wednesdays are still my best day.
Thanks for motivating me to save more and stock up. So far, I am impressed with my savings!
