The 20's are a big deal at our house! Not the 1920's... But the numbers 21-25 really!
21: Trevor's Birthday is on the 21st!
22: There is a saying in my family about my great aunt or grandma's "Twenty-Two".
23: Trevor and I were married on the 23rd!
Then the 24th.... Oh how busy the 24th is at our house!
24: Olivia was born January 24th! Hyrum was born October 24th! My Birthday is September 24th! And I share a birthday with my mom so it is extra special!
25: Trevor and I are both 25 years old!
It is cool to say on the same day that Olivia turned 2, Hyrum turned 3 months old and Mom(Me) turned 25 and 4 months! Cool Huh!! :)
It was a busy week at our house the week of Olivia's 2nd birthday! We had a party the weekend before because both sets of her grandparents were going to be out of town on her actually birthday or just busy and not able to get together for a party. We invited all of her Grandparents and Great-Grandparents over for lunch, to open gifts and then some cupcakes after! She got a little confused we would tell her to go give "Grandma and Grandpa" a hug for a certain gift and she didn't know which person to go hug! She was super cute as I was hanging up a banner on the wall that said "Happy Birthday" that she started to sing the birthday song to herself. Over and Over. All Week Long!!! Silly Girl!

 |
| A couple days before the party she was very very sick... Coughing so much that she would throw up over and over. If anyone knows Livy, they know that she cannot sit still very long and so to see her laying on the floor by 6pm says a lot about how she felt! |
 |
| Trevor's awesome cousin and his wife let us borrow there Machine so we could do a few breathing treatments until she got better! |
 |
| This was the following morning after she was asleep on the floor! She still felt really sick and was very tired all day from coughing and throwing up so much! She threw up 7 times in less than 24 hours! |
Olivia took a few days to get feeling better and finally was down to only doing breathing treatments every night before bed for a couple more days! By the following weekend (her birthday) she was feeling great and was back to singing the birthday song to herself again! :) She got a puppy for her birthday... Not a real one but the type that we can turn the dang thing off when the barking gets annoying. Or pull out the batteries when you dont want to listen to it anymore! :)
The morning of her birthday we did our tradition that we have started. We dump 20 balloons on her in bed when she first wakes up! She was very surprised by them all but had a blast bouncing on them to rock her babies and bear. We still have a few balloons around the house and tomorrow will be a week after her birthday!

 |
| I think Hyrum might catch up to Livy soon! He is growing like a weed! |
 |
| Livy walking around with her bear she got for her birthday! It does not ever leave her side! She has to have it by her with everything she is doing! |
I hope you all have a great weekend and are safe in everything you do! Happy almost end of January!
