August 8th, 2013!! Time sure flies when you don't have internet!

I have been wanting to post on our blog for a while now but...
A: We do not have internet at our house
B: We cannot get internet at our house because our place is not set up with cables to receive internet
C: We could go to Trevor's parents house and use their internet but we are too lazy to do that
D: We bum off our neighbors internet which is sketchy and something doesn't work for days at a time
E: I know I should have stopped at B

The point of the story is we don't have internet! We have tried many options to get internet but I am not going to pay an arm and a leg to have Verizon internet that is easy to go over your data plan! We hope to get internet again once we move out of the current place we are living but it is looking like we wont be moving till May next year ish! Well unless our Landlord's want us out before then so their kids can live here during the Holiday's... which is very possible!

Ok, enough rambling! I will just update about what is going on in our lives as of lately!

Trevor:
* Still working for his dad's company still driving propane truck... It is starting to pick up and get more busy but wont get crazy till the end of September or later!
* Scheduled to take 2 classes from NPC this semester which starts in about a week and a half! He is taking Biology and Chemistry! One class is from 6-9pm Monday and Wednesday in Showlow and the other is from 6-9pm Tuesday and Thursday in Holbrook! He will be very busy this semester during the week at nights with driving to class!
* He is training to do the Sweet-Triathalon on August 31st! He is really excited and loves how great he feels after the Tri! This will be his 3rd Triathalon (or 4th.. I cant remember) and I can't even say how proud I am of how hard he works and how much he loves it!
* Spends every available minute he has trying to get Olivia laughing. He sure loves being a daddy and he is very good at it too!
* He tries so hard to be available to help Kim around the house and makes sure she is not doing too much to hurt herself! He was a big help as we just re organized our house trying to make it more Livy proof and livable!

Kim:
* Is busy trying to keep up on a house with Livy's toys everywhere and laundry that always seems to be over flowing the basket!
* She is due October 24th. Every time she goes to the doctor, he always says the baby is growing to size he should be! Our little man is not as active as livy was when Kim was pregnant with her, so Kim has to take time every night to lay down and make sure he is still moving so she knows he is still alive.
* We are trying to figure out sleeping arrangements for when our little guy gets here! Olivia loves her sleep and does not like sharing a room so she will have to get use to having someone else in her room when time comes.
* Has been trying to start a new thing personally. Kim is having a hard time with self confidence lately and personal worth, so she has been trying to do things that make her happy and know she has done something she is proud of herself for! It has been a long road but she is making some progress!

Olivia:
* Olivia weighed 24 pounds and measured 34 and a half inches at her last doctors appointment in July.
* She is 18 and a half months! She is growing up so fast and thinks that she can do everything adults can do!
* Her new favorite thing to do with her mom is to stand behind her on the couch, wrap her arms around her neck and see if her mom will stand up. She will hold on the her mom's neck and dangle like that until mom sits back down. Laughing the whole time.
* She has started hitting and throwing tantrums if she doesn't get her way. She is slowly learning that tantrums are not the way to get what you want.. and the hitting has almost completely stopped. (Hopefully... crossing my fingers)
* She goes to nursery and loves every minute of it. She does not even turn around to say bye when we take her in. She will just run into the room and start playing.
* Is learning so many new words. We can understand most of what she is saying... but then every once in a while she will get mad at you and tell you why by using hand gestures and you cannot understand any of the ramble. She loves telling stories and talking to us in the car... sometimes we are able to talk back to her if we understand!
* She knows Kim's phone is the way to talk to her daddy. She will pick up kim's phone and hand it to kim and say "daddy?" Once Trevor is on speaker, she will tell him a story and then walk away when she is done. Most of the time Trevor just starts laughing cuz he cannot understand her or he will try to get her to talk to him again. So funny to listen too!

There is a lot going on in our lives lately and we are pretty busy most days! We sure do love our little family and can not wait to meet our Little Boy coming around 11 weeks away. Hope you are having a great August and that school is going great for those that started already! Happy Thursday!

We went to Huntington Beach this summer with Kim's family and Trevor found this awesome Star fish at some cool tide pools! He was very proud!

At the tide pools... Russell Family July 2013!

Kim and Livy waiting for the 4th of July parade at Huntington Beach!

Kim and Livy at Newport beach with Trevor's family at the end of May!

Trevor went golfing during the summer and Livy and I road along for fun! She found a nice shady spot and I could not resist taking a picture! She is such an adorable rag muffin!

One night while in Huntington Beach  Livy fell asleep like this and we thought it was funny that both her and "baby" where positioned the same!

They were talking about something... I couldn't resist not taking a picture of this father daughter moment! They have the best relationship!
