And then there were 5!

(In August) Here we are, enjoying a day at the beach! My sister Emily lives 3 hours away from gorgeous North Topsail Beach, NC. We couldn't stay away any longer, we planned a beach vacation and loved swimming in the Atlantic!


Izzy had soooo much fun with her cousin Catriona. They were instant BFF's!

Gorgeous!


Izzy and Tristan loved making pools in the sand to catch tiny silver fish as the tide would come in. See it in her hand?

Livi loved the fact she could walk in the sand, not crawl!

Izzy had a blast in the ocean with cousins Tristan (5), Preston (16), Catriona (12)

And of course, making mermaid tails! For all you Mom's of Barbie lovers, Izzy was "Merliah" all week singing "queen of waaa-aa-a-aves"

Nothing like sand and ocean water to keep you happy in the summertime!

How cute is Livi? p.s. behind her is a shot of the condo's we stayed in. It is sooo worth it be directly on the beach, especially to check on a napping baby :)


Livi started walking on July 23-that makes her a 10 month old walker! She is trying to make up the 3 year age gap between her and Izzy. She's doing a great job of it! She's a sweetie, and I have to remind myself all the time what a good baby she is, she's not going to be our baby for very much longer!
I snuck a waterskiing trip into my early pregnancy. It was so exciting to coast across the water. I wish I could do it more often!

I had a fun visit with extended family at a reunion this summer for my Dad's side of the family. Again, hiding a 12 week baby bump here. So sneaky!

The Kunz family gathered together at Grandma's House for fun together and Izzy kept a close eye on Grandpa Kunz's icecream churning skills!


Izzy with her only girl-Kunz-cousins: Amanda (17) Anne (10) Allison (9) (minus Catriona-who she visited with lots at the beach!)


Aaron & Adam turned 31 in August. Officially in their 30's! Aaron is in full swing Ute Football Season-getting the girls into it as well. (Notice the shiny "official ute gear" sticker on Izzy's shirt-she refused to throw it away after buying the shirt)

(In September) Izzy's first day of 2nd year preschool at Children's Discovery Preschool. She goes MWF mornings and she absolutely LOVES it.
Olivia Claire turned 1 in September, wow, already! She's a walking, laughing, sleeping, yelling, babbling, crying, eating, napping, sharing, pooping, teething, cuddling, destroying champion 1 year old!

Theee only photo of her looking at the camera on her birthday.

(In October) Halloween 2010.
Aaron made a scary mummy. Not the most rain-friendly costume, but original!

Family photo, look how happy we all look!

My little unicorn, halloween-season nose and all. Love this girl!

Izzy got to wear her costume to violin group lesson.

Total Kodak moment, beautiful fall day-great for a pony ride!
Izzy's a "mommy-unicorn." Livi was her baby (that hadn't grown wings yet)

And last of all...

In case you haven't heard, we are adding another to our family. March 20, 2011 is our due date for our baby boy. This pregnancy has been a piece of cake thus far, no nausea and I hid my belly until 18 weeks!

Izzy's 4th Birthday Party!!!!
Tons of fun!
12 friends, water balloons, swim suits, cupcakes, water slide,
pizza, candles, presents,balloons, prizes,
streamers, and great memories!













4th of July weekend. Aaron's family in IDAHO had a family
party for the weekend. Aaron had to work over the weekend,
so Adam and I drove Izzy and Livi up to good ol' Parma, ID.
We had a great time, lots of great time with cousins,
aunts, uncles, and of course, Grandma & Grandpa Pony!










My oh-so-theraputic Girls Getaway trip to Las Vegas with Sarah & Kailee. Lots of Rest, Relaxation, Un-interrupted Conversation, Pool-time, deep sleep, pedicures, massages, restaurants, shopping, all in just 3 days!








Here's a Mimi-montage!


This is pretty typical when Mimi and Livi are in the same room.
I think this is what is making Livi so close to walking!
She wants to get away from that puppy!

A good representation of the two attitudes towards Mimi.
Izzy = IN LOVE and Livi = not-so-much!



Aaron and I have really been living up the good life this summer!!!
We have been doing something fun almost every weekend.
This summer we feel like we're really doing things we want to do
and have wanted to do for a long time!
It's going by fast and we're trying to enjoy every minute of it!

Diamond Rio Concert!!

"I start walkin' your way, you start walkin' mine,
we meet in the middle, 'neath that ol Georgia Pine!!"
Us amidst Salt Lake's finest wranglers, perms, mullets, and whole-lotta hee-haw.
