Weekly Highlights April 29-May 4

This week Livy became super affectionate!  And not just to her dad but she did just climb up on the couch one day and wanted to hug him multiple times. 

It was so adorable!  Her little hands are just the sweetest.  Sometimes she'll even pat your back! haha She loves to blow kisses and wave to a anyone that even smiles at her.

We went to Wheeler Farm with the Warner crew.  Olivia loved how her farm books came to life!  

She kept saying "Whooooa!" over and over again, it was so fun to see her reaction.  She loved the cows, pigs and sheep.  She kept saying "Oooo" for Moo! haha

Her and Adam are little buddies and I just love it!

I shared my May Love Notes, you can find them HERE!

I made a record of 3 cakes in one week!! Birthdays and Thank You cakes are so, so fun!

One of those birthdays happened to be my Dad's but from the look on Livy's face you'd think it was her birthday.  She loves candles and the Happy Birthday song.

I love the look on Olivia's and Emma's face in the picture above!  So much happiness!

We went to the zoo this week too!  It was Olivia's first time understanding a little bit more about the zoo.  It was SO cute to watch her growl, roar and shake with excitement in front of the lions!

She kept trying to feed all the animals her goldfish.  She's caring like that. haha

She loves aunt Brittany!!

And her cousins so much!  She loved seeing the owls here and howling to them like wolves. 

She has been so adventurous and independent lately.  

I love it, but it is exhausting and scary sometimes. 

We loved our time at the zoo and especially with Dallin.  He took a day off work for just fun things.  This is the first day off he's taken in a really long time.  It was much needed.

I had a girls night with my sweet friend Gabby.  We went to Orange Peel and it was delicious! 

Our sweet neighbor got baptized yesterday so I gave a little treat.  I love to use my own printables too! If you'd like this free printable you can go HERE!

This week was packed with lots of animals and not a lot of naps but Olivia totally loved it!

Weekly Highlight April 21-27

Life happens so fast and I just want to catch and enjoy all of it!  I use to do Monthly Highlights, but a LOT of things can happen in a month so I decided I'm going to try to do Weekly Highlights.

Easter was great.  Holidays with a little one are so much more fun!  They love everything! haha The Easter Bunny left Olivia some adorable little Easter toys and a few pairs of new shoes.  She thought it was so fun to put the toys in the shoes, just like the Easter Bunny did, and has been doing it all week!

The only thing that made her smile in this picture was having her Bunny and saying "Hop, hop, hop!"

She got a cute new Easter dress that she looked so darn cute in with her gold bow and gold moccasins!

On her second easter egg hunt Olivia learned to call to eggs (haha) and find them and then pick them up and put them in her basket.  

After Easter Dallin had a work trip for half of the week, but we still had a few fun things happen!

We went to Costco!  I'm on a mission to find pretty healthy and filling snacks because I'm a huge snack-er.  We had to repurchase a pack of Steak Strips! These things are delicious and everything you want in beef jerky.  Soft, flavorful and high quality!

We also tried the Dark Chocolate Nuggets with Coconut and Super Seeds.  They are so good!  An easy and better option for a treat!  I can't find them online but you can find them by the snack foods.

For mutual this week the YW and YM played Human Hungry Hippos!  It looked so cool and dangerous! haha Luckily no one got hurt.  If you'd like more mutual ideas let me know.  We've had several fun activities that I'd love to share.

We went to Gardner Village and found all the adorable fairies in the Woodland Fairy Festival!  Seriously our favorite time of year at Gardner Village.  The fairies will be there until June 15th so be sure to stop in.  We saw uncle Cody at work and we loved it!!

She LOVES Brittany and her family!

She also LOVES her grandma so, so much!

Olivia wants to be outside ALL. THE. TIME.  so one day we ate lunch outside.

She's been into curling up on my old desk mat and pretending she's asleep.  She's so darn cute!

THIS talk by Elder Hales is such a good one!  I also read THIS, this week and loved it.

Olivia loves getting into the fridge.  So when she found raspberries at Grandma's she just hung out there till they were gone.

Dallin and I went to the first ever Utah Dough Show and it was so much fun!  This was only a little under half of what we got to sample at the show today.

Olivia also got to ride with our sweet neighbor in her little toy car.  I felt like I was watching something that's going to happen in about 10 or 15 years, but in a real car. haha

We also made my favorite peanut butter brownie bites for a farewell.  I used the recipes for the brownie bite base and the peanut butter ganache you can find on this post HERE, but I used my all time favorite peanut butter frosting you can find on THIS post.  It was a busy and fun week!
