on the farm

Olivia and I went down to the Pullman area ( a little over an hour away) to visit Brenna in her new home and her new baby sister! Kaylee is about 6 weeks old now though... so not exactly new, but still cute and tiny! They moved down there to be close to Joel's family and so he could work on the farm. It is SUCH a pretty area and a nice drive on a sunny day! Olivia had a wonderful time, I hope we do it again soon!

The gorgeous view out front their house!
Playing nicely on all of Brenna's fun toys!

They loved the water table.

Olivia liked this little shopping cart!

Sweet happy Kaylee!

It really was such a fun morning and the perfect amount of time! We got down there around 10 am and left a little after 1 pm. Kailub made us a nice lunch and after that we headed home! Olivia slept the whole way home and was so happy all day!

Sunday August 1st

Well this past Sunday after Julie's BIG birthday, we packed up the car with the 3 of us as well as Jenny and Nick and headed to the farm! There was a big celebration for Elizabeth graduating high school, as well as Kent being back from Afghanistan and Brook and Gunnar visiting Washington with baby Blake for the first time. There was probably a couple hundred people visiting so we got to see a lot of family. The weather was great and Olivia did awesome. She just played and played until she passed out while Diane was holding her. Then she was ready to go for the car ride home! Giggling and happily yelling all the way home. Too funny. Here are a ton of pictures in no particular order.

Happy birthday Jenny!

You are such a wonderful friend, sister-in-law and auntie to Olivia! We love you and hope you have a great day!

winner!!

I won another giveaway on a blog I read regularly. I won't post what it is because I was hoping to win it for Amanda! (It is pregnancy related) Anyway if you are reading this Amanda I have something coming in the mail hopefully soon to give you!!! Amanda is due in August with a baby (girl I think, but apparently her sister and I are the only 2 that think so). I am so excited to have another little playmate for Olivia soon!!! Amanda and Taylor are going to make great parents.

Here we are a couple years ago stressed out about nursing school. ha ha. This is what it feels like having a newborn sometimes too!

Next up is Jenny! :)
