 So I haven't updated about Liv for awhile. She is in 9th grade & doing great in school. Her teachers love her & she is getting straight A's. She is AWESOME! She likes choir & actually has her first concert tomorrow.

 

She is dancing on Team Desire at Inspire Dance Studio & loves it. She goes on Mondays, Tuesdays, & Thursdays for about 2 hours each time (She likes to skip out on Thursdays, which is ballet, quite a bit though ;))

 

She is the best sister to the little ones. She loves to snuggle her baby sis & loves to get kisses & hugs from Tater. She is a big help with them too!

It seriously melts my heart. Because she is a lot older than them I was worried they would annoy her, but she couldn't love them more. It is so sweet to watch her with them <3

 

Her best friend lately is Josie. She still hangs out with Bella too.

 

Her favorite things to do are listen to music, being on her phone of course ;), hanging out with her friends, dancing, instagram, taking selfies ;)

 

She recently got to go to Zion's National Park with her mom & Shawn. She didn't care for hiking, but liked the scenery & shops around town ;)

 

She likes tribal prints, flannel shirts, comfy hoodies, & MC Hammer style pants that are from my younger days ;) I think they call them joggers these days? Idk, I'm kinda old now! ;)

 

Her most favorite recent song (changes daily ;)) is "All About That Bass" by Megan Trainor. She likes to listen to Pandora a lot too. I have to say I like her taste in music better than her dad's. Except his old school stuff :)

 

Favorite foods & snacks (also changing daily ;)): yogurt & granola, bananas, asian chicken salad, goolash, tater tot casserole.

 

Her fave TV shows are "The Voice" & "Supernatural" & "Pretty Little Liars"

 

She gets along a lot better with her mom these days & spends time with her about every other weekend & some other days too occassionally. She enjoys going over there & spending time with her stepsister Caitlyn too. They have gotten a lot closer over the years.

 

Liv is an EXCELLENT baker (brownies are her specialty), & helps out with dinner a lot too.

 

She loves to go get ice cream. We like to walk to the gas station on the corner of Harrison & 24th & giggle about our favorite hippie dude that works there.

 

She still helps me like a little personal assistant & I appreciate her SO much. She helps with dinner, with the dishes, with the little ones, helps when we are loadin up our life in the 4runner to go wherever we are going for the day ;)

 

We love you Liv!

You are as BEAUTIFUL on the INSIDE as you are on the OUTSIDE!
