Baby Pen

I love this little girl. She is my little buddy. She is so happy, and such a joy. I love how excited she gets when she sees me coming towards her to come pick her up. She flaps her littler arms and kicks her little legs. I know that she will forever be such a joy to be around, and make others happy. She also really loves her daddy. I think she just might be a daddy's girl. She can't control herself when dad comes home from work! She needs to see him right away!! She has become the best little eater, and fantastic sleeper!! The past 3 nights she has slept a straight 12 hours without waking up! Finally, we are getting some good sleep around here! It's been wonderful. We love our Baby Pen. 

Here she's wearing the cutest little dress that her Auntie Shanna made for her:

Fashionista

Livster has become known for her amazing outfit choices. But these days, with the current styles, really anything goes. She always wants to wear pink, and always wants to wear a skirt. Some days she really wants to wear a dress. But she never ever wants to wear pants. And the only pants she will wear are her leggings. And when she does wear leggings she always has to pull them up to her knees. She has also become very opinionated with her hairstyle. A few of the current favorites are a ponytail, pigtails, a bun, or 2 french braids. She keeps us laughing, and I'm so grateful for her strong and fun personality. 

Little Ballerina

Livy started her very first dance class this January. It's once a week for an hour each time. She absolutely LOVES it! They spend time stretching, and working on the different ballet positions, they do 'stop and go' dances to the music, they dance to princess music, and are working on their recital dances for next month. To say we're excited for the recital is an understatement. She is just going to shine. She loves to be in front of a crowd, she loves performing, and she definitely loves dancing. Not a day goes by that she doesn't spend time dancing. Livy also likes to wear skirts that have a good "twirl". The bigger and fuller the skirt the better. And whether to wear a skirt or not is not even a question. We love our little dancer. 

New Friends

We are so happy with our new neighborhood and ward. We have never seen such a faithful ward who are so willing to serve and help others. As our neighbors have been moving in there would be over 30 men who would show up to help move in. I have already have a few lunch dates with some of the girls and have loved getting to know them. Livy too has made some new friends, and we're so grateful to be in such a wonderful place. We know that we are here for a reason, and we cannot wait for the years to come and the friendships yet to make.

Boat Show

We were so excited to go check out the boat show this year, especially since we got to go see Grammy and Grandpa's new boat! Livy loved exploring all of the boats, especially the sparkly ones. She got to pick out a new pink life jacket for the summer. It's going to be a fun one!

 We grabbed some delicious lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, then went to the BYU Basketball. Livy loved sitting with Grammy and watching the dancers. Penny was a trooper during the game too.  We are so lucky to live so close to grandparents and get to do fun things with them!
