Happy Father's Day...

We love you, we love you, we love you!!!

Did we grow...?

First day of 1st grade...

Last day of 1st grade...

Bring it on Summer!!!!

Happy 7th Birthday Punky!

Olivia had a birthday! And she turned 7!

This year she asked that if we could go camping on her birthday...and since we won't have that opportunity for too much longer this summer (I think 7 months prego is my camping limit) we thought we'd better!

And it was so worth it.

We had a great time with family and friends....

and the campsite had really nice bathrooms! Yahoo!

I say it every time a birthday rolls around,

I can't believe how old she is....

Would you please, please stop growing!

(She always says NO!)

Olivia is nothing short of AMAZING.

I count my blessings everyday that she is my daughter.

Love you more, most, infinity, moon and back Livi-lou...I win.

An adventure of our own....

While Dad and Livi were off riding the red rocks of southern Utah (see post below), Abbi and I had our own little adventure at BooBoo and Grandpa's house! A little pool time, some shopping, baking, movies, and much more....

We had a great time, getting spoiled by the very best people I know!

Grandpa and great-grams were also in on all the fun but apparently I was a total lame-wad with the camera and didn't manage to get a picture with either of them. Lame.

(I have some awesome pictures of Abbi playing in the pool with BooBoo, my mom, but per mother's request I left the bathing suit pictures off the bloggity-blog. I think my mom is the cutest thing around so I was very, very, very tempted to break my promise and post them anyway....but I did promise. And I guess I'd better keep it.... She didn't say anything about facebook, however......)

A Very Special Adventure...

Miss Livi-lou got a very, very, very special gift for her birthday this year. Her daddy took her to Moab, Utah to go jeeping! (DuVall's only been dreaming of taking his kids to his "motherland" to go jeeping since....well, forever!) They had an amazing trip and Livi absolutely loved her first jeeping experience and, even more so, her special one-on-one time with her dad. What a blessed little girl!

Here are some highlights...

Plane ride to Utah

Let the jeeping begin...

Grandad's grave in Blanding...

A quick visit with great-grandma in Provo...

She just turned 96!

Coming home...

Abbi and I were sure glad to have them back home but we're so glad they had such a wonderful experience!
