Hi Everyone! Sorry that it has been awhile since I updated our blog. It has been a bit busy the past couple of weeks. No excuses though:) Well -at last- Shellee has moved in with us! My parents finally got their health issues straightened out enough to take 10 days and devote it to helping Shellee get moved (and spending time with Olivia). Now that they are back in Utah, they start on more doctor's appointments. They stayed for a few days to help Shellee get on her feet. All she needs is employment now.
Speaking of employment...Aaron had a couple of interviews last week for employment for after he graduates in May. It was so exciting. The first glimpse of what it will be like when he has a good job and a steady income! Hooray! I'm so proud of all his hard work in school...looks like it really is going to pay off (everyone said it would and they were right)! Aaron arrived home safely from Mississippi last Sunday also. Quite the experience helping cut up the fallen trees for two days. Jason - hope you heal up okay!!!
Olivia got spoiled rotten while my parents were here. I can't even take her to the store now without her throwing a fit when I put her in the cart. She wants to be down and wandering around wherever she pleases. But I really can't complain because she has been absolutely wonderful the past few weeks about sleeping through the night! It's so great to wake up on my own before Olivia...makes the day start out a little nicer.
Okay, I could go on and on...there are lots of pictures this go around! Quick explanation on a few of them and then I'll go-- Last Sunday the Lunt family came down for dinner, visit with my family and to see Justin (he got back from New Orleans last Sunday). They also wanted to wait for Aaron and Jason to get back from Mississippi. We got lots of pics while they were here.

Also, once again...leave me comments! It's exciting to see who actually reads this thing.



Our newest roommate - Shellee Johnson the magnificent!!

Before my parents left Utah, my dad took this picture of the load they hauled to Georgia.

My GQ man getting ready for his interviews...wit-woo! Love that hat.

Cute guy giving his daughter kisses! Gotta love it!

Olivia saying "Cheese" with Daddy.

This one and the next four pics are for my mom...Olivia in her new Sunday clothes.

She loves the word "cheese!"

Struttin' her stuff!

Posing just perfectly!

Daddy caught us off gaurd...getting Olivia ready for that "photo shoot!"

Braden already loves video games...such a guy thing!

Bella and Savannah got my dad to let them give him a "makeover."

Olivia's best friend, Madison!

Bella gave herself a makeover and wanted a photoshoot.

My mom showing Olivia how to call her on the phone for when she's back in Utah...jk!

Justin sported a new hair-do when he got back from New Orleans...for sanitary purposes he had shaved his hair very short. Cheril didn't care for it much:)

Savannah crowned me a princess!

Braden is giving his lungs a break and letting the fan blow his pinwheel...it goes much faster that way:)

Looks like Justin got crowned a princess too.

Madison wanted some of that makeover that Savannah was handing out.

Bella thought the bubbles actually tasted good...yuck!

Cute picture of two cute girls!

Madison was glad to have her Daddy home and Braden just loves the guys!!!

Olivia got to babysit!
Last night we had the opportunity to watch baby Jacob for a few hours. Olivia loved it as you can see below.
Also, here are some updates in our lives:
My parents are planning to leave Utah tomorrow afternoon with Shellee and all of her things. This means that we will no longer have an extra bedroom and bathroom. Olivia will be so excited to see Shellee! We all will for that matter:)
Aaron and Jason will be leaving Georgia on Friday to travel to Hattiesburg, Mississippi. That will be around the same time that Justin will be leaving the New Orleans area to come back to Georgia.
Next week, Aaron will also begin the grueling (but so exciting for us) task of hunting for employment for after he graduates in April.
Love, Shayleen

Olivia checking in on baby Jacob....yep, he's fine!

She's either telling him a story or showing him how to play with those toys dangling above his head...whichever it is, he's listening very intently!

Tickle, tickle!

Kiss, Kiss!

She is ready for her new cousins to come!!
