Okay, I need some feedback here. I can't decide what to do with the slideshows on the right. I did them in a different format so that they would update as I added pictures to the albums in picasa, but that means they are either really small or a little cut off. What do you all think looks better?
Thanks everyone!

Meet and Greet
I anticipated my Labor Day to be a little boring, but with BJ's family in town, we had so much fun. BJ decided to hit a movie with his brothers, dad and sister in-law while my mother in-law and I took Olivia, Ethan and their cousin Kaylie to the Treehouse museum in Ogden. The girls had a lot of fun. I forgot to bring my wrap so I was hefting the carseat around the whole time. Haha! I guess I won't do that again! 
I just thought this was a really cute pic. This is actually the day after The Treehouse. They handed the kids eye patches when we left and I wanted a picture of the whole ensemble.
Preparing to work around her daddy, she got to dress up as a fireman. This was on a play firetruck just inside the entrance. Livi mostly stood around and watched everyone else play. It was extremely crowded.
Here's she is playing with a train set. There was a room where you could let the toddlers run for a bit with giant soft building blocks and these activity tables. There were some really cute kids in there, most of them around Olivia's age. All of them were fun to watch.
Playing the marimba with Grandma Wright. This music set up was her favorite place. We spent the majority of our time here. She had so much fun banging on the instruments. It was a lot of fun.
Playing the floor piano. They had things for all ages. There was evena velcro wall where they could arrange the notes on a treble clef. She had a hard time leaving this room.
We headed over to the craft corner where she got to make a pirate hat. It was a little big for her but she had a lot of fun decorating it. I even helped her write her name.
She was verrry tired by the time we were winding down to leave. All of this was during her regular nap time. I'm sure she didn't mind, but it sure makes for a grumpy girl at home! I had to snap this picture myself. I finally have one of me on here!
After The Treehouse and movies, we went to Chili's for dinner. BJ pushed Olivia in a cart around the parking lot while we waited to be seated. I tried my first ever meatless burger--the black bean burger from the guiltless menu. It was actually pretty good, and the best part was, there were no surprises to bite into (bones and stuff). However, it still lacked something. I wonder if you can replace regular beef patties with those... hmmm...
I tried several times to take pictures of the two girls together. They were being so cute, hugging each other all of the time. However, this was the only picture I could get of her and Kaylie because Kaylie wouldn't let me take anything of her. As soon as she saw my camera she turned and ran... you can see she is in the process in this picture. :)
After dinner, we went our separate ways and back to normal life. It was sad to see both of our families go, but it will be fun to see everyone again. Sorry, I only have pics of the kids to show for it. I really do need to be better.

Ethan's Blessing
This a week and a half ago, but better late than never.
We blessed Ethan last Sunday. It was so fun. Both of our families came... except David and Amy. Debbie and I had a little party the day before to see all of our cousins and show off our new babies. We had a lot of fun. I forgot my camera at that part, so no pics of that.
I really didn't take any of Ethan's blessing either, but I do have some of him before we left for church, as you can see. I was really kind of bummed that we didn't get a family shot that day. I guess I'm just really bad at initiating things like that. I need to be better. So it was an awesome weekend and we had so much fun. I'm so grateful to have a husband who holds the priesthood and gives such beautiful blessings by the spirit.
