Reese at 1 year old! Isn't he cute!

I took all of these photos myself with the help and supplies of Deb Mark (Elise's mother-in-law) She has a studio in her basement so I took Reese and my camera to her home. Reese did the rest by smiling and being so cute!

Happy 3rd Birthday Olivia!

Our little Olivia is 3! Can't believe we have a 3 year old.

We had a Dora party! She got a sandbox and her words were "I love my sandbox."

Cute little birthday girl!

Mommy made Dora cupcakes for the party!

Olivia helped make the cupcakes by eating the melted chocolate!

She LOVED it!

Biscuits and Eggs...

Reese LOVES his bitter biscuits!

We introduced him to them yesterday &

got this response below...

We also died Easter eggs for FHE last night!

Olivia wanted to do it all by herself.

She wants to do EVERYTHING all by herself these days!

Kenzie's PARTY!

We went down to Delta for MaKenzie's 1st Birthday!

The kids had lots of fun and the balloons were a big hit.

Thanks for the fun!

SWIMMING LESSONS!

Olivia loved her 6 week swimming class we took. She learned to kick her kickers and paddle her paddlers and learned that she HATES to go under the water!

Happy little man!

Fish KISSES!

Mommy has been wearing her glasses to go get tested for Lasix!

We found out today that she will never be a canidate for Lasix!

Hopefully one day Olivia will be!

So I've heard many people say that you can print your blog and use it as a scrapbook....now all I need to do is figure out how??? If anyone out there could help...that would be FANTASTIC! Then the other thing is... I need to actually keep up on my blogging! Here is to a new year of keeping up with the blog!

Better late than never!

Christmas Love!

Christmas morning...

This is Reese's dad & Reese!

Aren't they CUTE!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We carved a pumpkin and Livi wanted a happy face!

This is our DORA and BOOTS!
Aren't they cute!
No, it's not a wig...that's her hair.
A hair straightener and black hair spray!

Getting Bigger!

3 Months old & Super Cute!










Candid photo...I wish it really was this easy to get her to use the potty!
Any ideas on potty training...it's not going so well in our house.

I love Reese's face in this photo...he's thinking "what am I doing with these two?"

Monday Night Football!

Here's our Raider fans...

enjoying the game...

Our happy little man watching football

with daddy all decked out in

his Raider gear...

This is how Olivia feels about

Monday Night Football...

Reese is Here!

Happy Big Sister!

Olivia came in to see him and said "I hold the baby," and reached out her arms. She's going to be a big helper.

Our HANDSOME little guy Reese Benjamin Cloward!

Zoo Fun...

My mom's work party was at Hogle Zoo! Livi loved playing on the playground, seeing the animals, and just running as much as she could!

Her favorite thing was probably the train ride in which she grinned the entire time. We have that one on video.

After running around all night, I didn't think she would sit still long enough for the lady to paint her face. She just sat there and watched the lady make her face "pretty." She likes "pretty's!"

She looked so CUTE! She just wanted to sit and look at herself. I don't think she quite figured out that it was her for a good 1/2 hour. We got her to "roar" a couple times.

Can you tell it's a BOY!!!

Olivia wants to announce that she is

going to have a little

BROTHER!

AHHHHH! I'm going to be a BIG SISTER!!!

Olivia is so excited to announce that she is going to be a big sister in July!!!

From the ... town of bedrock!

We were the Flintstones!

Do you see the resemblance to Fred, Wilma and Pebbles?!

Yes, those are golf balls around my neck. They made for an

excellent rock necklace!

Our CUTE Pebbles!

False Alarm...

So, we should get back on the blog and let everyone know who doesn't already, that I miscarried or according to the nurse, may have not even been pregnant because I miscarried so early. So Olivia is sad to say that she will not be getting a new baby brother or sister as soon as we thought, but God knows what is best and will bless us in time!

Shoe Fettish!

Olivia's new FAVORITE thing is shoes! She loves them. All shapes and sizes. I had to take this picture of her after I realized she had put on 4 different shoes. Mommy helped her put the pink one on, but the other 3 were all done by her. She LOVES to have shoes on her hands and crawl around with them. Shoes...Shoes...Shoes! They can be her shoes, mommy's shoes, or even daddy's! Olivia LOVES shoes! This could get expensive for us in her later years.

Livi's new glasses!

So a new challenge has begun in our household. We thought that this new challenge would be keeping the glasses on the 14 month Olivia's face. Oh were we wrong...


Don't get us wrong, sometimes she does not care for the glasses and we find them on the floor rather than on her face...and we have had to put them back on her face sometimes near 50 times a day...but the new challenge is getting her to look through them!





She has already learned that if she tips her head down, she can look over the glasses. Now the new challenge is trying to teach her to keep her chin up! Grandpa Kelly and Grandma Lorie think Olivia looks like a spitting image of Great-Grandma Dani when she looks over her glasses!
So what do you think?!
