Our Baby is Eleven!

Her 1st Birthday!



Olivia Katherine celebrated her 11th Birthday on October 28th! I can't help but remember the day she was born...it was so peaceful!! My epidural actually worked so I was able to deliver her without making strange animal sounds! She was a healthy 9 lbs. 13 oz. - 21 and 3/4 inches long. What made the experience so wonderful was the fact that my doctor left almost immediately after she was born due to an emergency c-section she had to perform. It seemed like all of the hospital staff went with her because we were left alone in our room, just me, Rance and our new little girl, for several hours. Liv hadn't even been cleaned up or weighed but she was beautiful and we just enjoyed this quiet opportunity to be with her, fresh from Heavenly Father.


Liv had her best friends over last night for a sleep-over after we went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat. They talked Rance and me into playing Murder in the Dark with them. We had a great time. Granny Jordan made her cake!

Kaley, Liv, Megan & Leah!


A glimpse into Kaley & Olivia's future?

I had a photo shoot on her actual birthday...she tagged along so I got this shot.

It's a tradition for her to have sushi on her birthday so Rance & I made a special delivery to school and had lunch with her!

All dressed up in her birthday presents from Mom & Dad!
