So What's New???

Daddy's second Father's Day! We love this picture!

Such a ham! "Cheese!"

Playing Daddy's PlayStation

Olivia is a climber. Up and Down ... up and down ... up and down. But loves mommy's new picture!

Reading with Grandpa, but briefly distracted by Daddy. Imagine that!

Loves to play on Nana's fridge now!

We have had a few Hat Day's this week. Loves her hat.
She can say "hat", too.

She sleeps in her big girl bed now!!!

We are enjoying every step of being parents ... to the temper tandrums that we try hard not to laugh at to hearing her try to mimic our every word. She is our little doll. I'm not quite sure what I did before God gave us Olivia.

Her new words are apple and walk. Speaking of walking, she's taken eight steps at the most now. Totally capable, but unwilling at this point.

We hope that everyone has a good weekend. Tell those who mean the most to you that you love them!

Going to Granny's

Sunday was a beautiful day! We decided to go visit Granny.
She made this blanket herself ... even sewed in various family member's names, dates of birth and cute pictures on it! You know how I love sentimental things ...

Granny and I took a stroll in the backyard.

Our sleeping beauty ...


Liv and Daddy in Granny's pool!!

"I ruff you!!!" See you next time!
(Granny's toy dog from when she was a little girl.)

This is Olivia's newest word. "Baff"
Among the others are: mama, daddy, uh-oh, duck, cup, eat, baby, thank you, uh-oh spaghetti-oh, twinkle-twinkle, hey, bye-bye, hello, Mmmmm ... and a lot more jibber-jabber. We think she is going to be quite the chatter box!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

From Easter to now, life has gone by in an instant for us. A big, fun, crazy instant. So I thought, because I know the thrill of anticipation has been killing you all, I'd update. I promise we will try to do better this time.

Olivia's turns 11 months old just in time for Easter! Yay!

We started trying to drink out a big girl cup. Didn't like it too much at first.

Olivia loves big girl food! Mine!


Standing up. Daddy caught this on camera! She is almost walking now!


Turned One!! Had a fun birthday party!

Took her first beach trip for Mother's Day. Little Diva.

Casey let her "swim" in our bathtub. Yes, this was supervised. And she DEFINITELY loves the water.

Loves Daddy


See ... told you she loves the water!


Celebrated Aunt Lala's birthday! Leslie and Olivia were supposed to share a birthday. God had other plans.
Loves her Papa and Lala. They are funny.


The Girls. Good lookin' huh?


Melissa And Casey


We took a beach trip for Leslie's birthday. We talked about selling all of our personal belongings, making a plan on moving the ENTIRE family with us, and braiding hair and doing jet ski rentals to make a living. ;)

More to come ...
