Swimming for the first time!

We took Tori swimming for the first time at Jake's family pool. We love the Olesens! Kathy wasn't there though, we missed her. We swam for about an hour. Tori loved it! She loves the water. We stayed in the warm hot tub while Jason, Jake and Oscar swam in the pool that wasn't exactly hot.

Chillin' in the floaty!

With daddy!

...and mommy!

All done! Snuggling in a warm towel!

Golden Gate Bridge

As we flew into the Oakland Airport we saw the Golden Gate Bridge just peeking out of the fog. It was so beautiful! Luckily the day we went out we sould see the bridge! Here are some pics of the fun. The Olesens look great, but ours is a little wind blown, oh well!

Cousins!

We went to San Francisco after Jason completed his internship at Turn About. We stayed for a whole week! It was fabulous to see Lora, Jake and the kids! Wow did I miss them! Oh what fun we would have if we lived closer! Well, the visit was fabulous and the kids loved Tori...love at first sight! They were all over her. Oscar always said "Auntie Kendra,Tori is so cute!" and every morning Livy ran to the front room and asked for Jason, Keni and Tori! It was awesome! I was afraid that Livy wouldn't remember us, but she did!

The first encounter! Tori and Livy loved each other!

A big smile at the Golden Gate Bridge!

Livy and Tori were inseperable at the pool. Livy wanted to be with Tori all the time!

Matching outfits! Yep...there were 4, but this is the only one we ot pictures in! You try getting Livy sit let alone look at the camera!

Livy was always concerned about Tori's bink...what a good helper!

Oscar always wanted to hold Tori...we let him twice with a very watchful eye.

I let Livy play with Tori after her morning naps in the playpen. They bothed loved looking at each other and they smiled a lot!

I know..I know..here's some more pics..sorry for the delay!

This is her cute outfit from Sunday...most of the pictures came out blurry...oh well, these will hve to do! This is one of the very few outfits I actually picked out for her! I love the blue and brown!

Tori hates Tummy Time, but I found this surfboard and she seems to like it better. But her real motivation, Michael Phleps and Nastia Liukin.... :) She is watching the Olympics! Boy is she sneaky!

Go Cougars!!!! BYU Pride!

I bought this outfit too! Hmmm...blue...I think there is a pattern. I love her in blue!

Tori is just relaxing with her new friend Giraffie! She loves that blanket and we can get her to giggle...or at least try. Her giggle sometimes sounds like a fake cough, but it sure is cute!!!!

Tori's first Olympics and more!

I am trying not to let Tori watch TV until she is at least 18 months old...well, we try, but she is good at moving that cute little head of hers trying to see the TV...she is watching the woman's gymnastics...
