Easter

We had a wonderful Easter here in Utah. We woke up and Olivia had a great time looking for Easter eggs that we hid around the house. She is so smart and very observant! After breakfast we headed to church and heard a fantastic sermon! We just love our church! Brian and Tory from across the street also attended with their families! Afterwards they were kind enough to include us in their Easter plans. The weather was nice and sunny and Olivia loved playing outside with all the other kids. They had an Easter egg hunt and Olivia came in a close third with the most eggs collected! All in all we had a wonderful time!

Montana

We were able to go up to Montana and visit for a few days! We got to see so many family and friends, but missed many of you! We will be back though and promise to get to see the rest of you! Here are some pics from our trip. Olivia and Sawyer gained 1/2 lb to a pound while we were there! It must have been all the great food! We had such a great time and can't wait to get back

The Guenthner's Come to Visit!

Grandpa Tim & Grandma Patsy came to Utah to meet Sawyer and play with Olivia. It was so nice to have them down at our house for the weekend. Olivia enjoyed them as playmates and kept them very busy reading, drinking "tea", doing puzzles and playing. We even got to go to a children's museum where Olivia got to play with all the hands on activities. The museum that day was having activities and experiments with chocolate! We all enjoyed ourselves. Here are some pics of their visit!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day! We are hopefully going to have a Happy let's sleep all St. Patrick's Day! Some of us decided it would be fun to be up all night, other's thought it would be fun to wake up at 5:00 a.m. and then there were some of us who had to go to work all day today! Other then no sleep around here we are doing pretty good. Here are some pics I got of the kids this morning in their green outfits! Let's just say they are not ready for pics of them together! The leprechaun I got from my Mom when she came to the hospital to see me after Sawyer was born. When I was in third grade and had my appendix out at the beginning of March all I asked for was a leprechaun . I figured I could get at least one wish out of him to make all my pain go away! I did receive a leprechaun pin but no he didn't take any pain away! Have a GREAT GREEN DAY!

First Bath

Now that I have had a few minutes to actually get all our photos uploaded on to the computer I can share them with you! Here is some pics from Sawyer's first bath. It was a big event in our house! We had a photographer, videographer, Olivia holder, baby and two nervous parents all in the same bathroom! Luckily it is a big open bathroom! Anyway Sawyer did great! He wasn't a fan at first but once it was done he was so relaxed and content! Olivia wasn't a fan at all! She kept saying "Ut OH" and holding her hand over her mouth crying ohey,ohey,ohey! She hates it when Sawyer cries and did not like seeing his belly button! In the end it was a great event that is very well recorded and resulted in one very good smelling baby!

Sawyer David Guenthner

On Friday we welcomed our newest addition to our family! Sawyer David was born at 1:59 a.m. He weighed in at 6 lbs 15 oz 19.5 inches long. He was a little earlier than expected but is doing well. On Friday, I had a migraine that wouldn't go away. I finally called David home from work and we talked to the doctor. He told us to go ahead and head up to the hospital to get checked out. We all figured I would be home shortly. Olivia went and stayed at the wonderful neighbors house! After being there for a few hours and finding out that I had no pre-eclampsia, they did tell me that I was having regular contractions. The contractions were 2 mins apart, getting stronger, and I was dilated to 5 cm. They decided that it was time to admit me and we were on the way to having our little boy. The rest is history! Olivia is doing great and really enjoying having Grandpa Steve & Grandma Sue here! She gets diapers and does a great job of shoving the binky into Sawyer's mouth. She also has learned to ssshhhhhhhhh him whenever he is busy making noise! Hope you enjoy the pics and I promise to keep the blog updated as much as possible

Getting Ready

We have been busy getting things ready for the new baby to arrive! We have gone through closets trying everything on to see what fits and what doesn't, going to play group, and just playing around the house! But we haven't forgotten to take a few pics of Olivia! Here is some of the pictures we have captured over the last few weeks!

Our last Snow Day!

I thought I had posted some of these pictures but I guess it didn't work! A few weeks ago we had a huge snow day! David got home a little early from work so we all headed outside. Olivia loved the snow and discovered that it is a great snack! Her and David made a big snowman and shoveled the drive way! It was the first time David got to see & play with Olivia in the snow. They had so much fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We were able to spend the whole day together as a family! We had a fabulous breakfast, went to a basketball game, hung out with our fantastic neighbors and put together a puzzle & got spoiled rotten by our families! It was a wonderful surprise when we got home and had two packages at the door! Grandma's you got to love them! Olivia loved everything! As well did David & I! We hope you all too had a wonderful day!

The first few weeks of February!

We haven't been up to much the past few weeks! David has been busy working, I am trying to survive these last few months of being pregnant and Olivia is growing like a weed! She says a few more words, understands almost everything you say, and can reach anything on the counters! She loves books and can recognize animals and their sounds. Most of all she is full of energy even when she is supposed to be sleeping and is keeping us busy! We love her so much and can't believe how fast she is growing up! Here are some pics of the last few weeks!
