Stacie!

Jordan was sick earlier this week, so Stacie was kind enough to step in as babysitter for a day.  Liv had a blast!  They played outside and inside, read books, and watched some Signing Time together at Liv's request (she's on a sports kick lately, so that's the one she's been wanting to watch).  After Stacie left, Liv kept talking about her and said, "Stacie!"  We were glad she had such a fun time.  Even yesterday when we let Liv watch Anastasia she was talking about Stacie (because her name sounds like Anastasia).

Stacie and I also went to Zumba that night (Thursday) with Stephanie, too.  It is so fun that we can all carpool together.  We had such a great time, and besides possibly offending a few people on accident, really enjoyed ourselves.  We had Spencer and Stacie over tonight for dinner and tried a new recipe for Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps.  It was so yummy!  Tyler did a great job with this one, as usual.  Stacie brought some delicious cupcakes that Liv just loved!  It was a good thing, because Liv thought Stacie had told her she wasn't allowed to eat her rice the way she wanted to and was giving some pretty dirty looks.  The cupcake smoothed it over, and by the end of the night, Stacie was back on Liv's good side.  We are so glad they came over!  It was fun to talk with them, and I love it when we find out other couples have the same "discussions" we do :)

 Liv was very happy about this

 She went for the frosting first, as you can see from her face

Within minutes of this picture, she had inhaled the whole thing
