OLIVIA IS 3!

Well Olivia's 3rd birthday has come and went. We celebrated with just family on Sunday the 19th. As usual, she was spoiled and got way too many items, but is appreciative of them all. On her actual birthday Olivia celebrated with her friends at Jackie's during the day. I had a night class so she went to the pool with Andy for a bit and they went out to eat together. Mommy also arranged for a scavenger hunt for Olivia to find one more gift on her actual birthday. My little princess needed a gift just from Mommy and it just so happens that Sleeping Beauty just came out on DVD. It's hard to believe she is 3!

Queen for the day!

She was great at giving huge hugs to everyone after opening their gifts. Even Robert got a hug!

Fun with Boys!

Last Saturday, September 27th was Titus' 3rd birthday. Olivia and I had planned on hitting the movies in Three Rivers before her horse riding class and invited her cousins to join us. Elizabeth brought Titus and baby James and the five of us enjoyed "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A Veggie Tales film." It was quite cute and a great pick for the kids first time to the theater.

Andy had been telling Olivia all summer long that we could camp out some night in her play house. Well, Andy and Olivia dug a fire pit. We ate outside and made smores over the fire, but the two of them ended up camping out on the living room floor. Of course Olivia now wants to do this daily, but is accepting to the fact that she has to sleep in her own bed. Please excuse my husband's filthy pillow that he didn't put a pillowcase on.

After the movies and Olivia's horse class we headed up to Kzoo to see our old neighbors the Skultety's. Olivia has been missing Zsolt. It's been quite a while since we've last seen them, so I was surprised at how well the two played together. They were like an old married couple. Olivia told Zsolt what to do and he obliged.

This was in an attempt to give goodbye hugs and kisses. They were falling for each other a little too hard if you ask me.Posted by Picasa
