Happy 1st Birthday Olivia!!!

Miss Olivia turned ONE today! Our big girl! To celebrate we went to... Red Robin!! Dave had to work tonight, so we decided to have a birthday lunch. Olivia tried some ice cream, but was not so sure at first...

"Ok, one bite"

"MMMMMMMmmmmmm!!!!!!!"

There is the smile we usually see :)

It is so fun to see them becoming friends!

Olivia started the weekend off really sick Saturday. We decided to go ahead with her family birthday party Sunday, even though Olivia was not feeling so great. With it being a party, Livvy still did not see it reason enough to smile. She did although really enjoy her cupcakes, (2 actually)! We so appreciate our family celebrating with us, and are thankful they came even with a sick little girl!

MORE SNOW PICTURES!!!

I had to post some more pictures.. as soon as Noah and Dave went outside, Olivia stood and screamed at the door. I thought as soon as I got her all bundled up, she would be ready to go back inside, but she was all for the snow! She wasn't quite sure she wanted to touch it. Since it is supposed to be spring, I had already put away most of their winter clothes, and had to scramble for some warm clothes!

Noah named his snowman "Livvy the snowman"

We even got some sledding in!!!

What the weather?!?!?

Last Saturday April 12th, we had 80 degree weather! Dave got out the pool, and made a water slide, it was a quick decision, so Noah felt there was no time to change into his swim shorts. We had a wonderful day out in the sun.....

Fast forward April 18th, and here it is SNOWING!!!! Noah is not trying to hurt his sister, just trying to hold his sister for a picture! As I am posting this, Dave and Noah are going out to build a snowman! What crazy weather we are having....

It's been awhile!

Since Livvy has been walking for nearly a month, I figured it was time to post a few pictures!! Now that she has gotten the walking thing dow,n she is working on her climbing, and will climb on anything that has a step, or a ledge. She can climb one of our baby gates, and get about half way up, and can almost climb onto the couch. I'm not looking forward to her figuring out how to climb out of her crib

Since it was a beautiful day outside today, Noah wanted to go play, I asked him to bring me a hat.. this is what he brought me!

ME TOO!

Olivia enjoys reading many books these days, which I am glad for, but really wants to read them ALL OF THE TIME!

I am really terrible at taking pictures, and I never seem to get a good picture of my kids smiling, but they do smile and are happy kids!!!

Happy Easter

At least we got them all sitting together....

Carefully dying some eggs with Nana, Jarren and Janna

Saturday was spent at the Friedrich's for some egg dying and an Easter egg hunt with LOTS of great candy!!! Noah decided to look for only the big eggs, while Olivia decided not to look for eggs this year. Sunday we were with the Cross' with ANOTHER egg hunt and MORE great candy!!! Noah kept collecting the eggs and putting them in his basket saying "these eggs are for Easter." All of my pictures from Sunday with the kid's in their Easter outfits are blurry as I forgot to turn on the flash :(

Our Little Lady

Olivia is loving a pair of pretend safety goggles of Noah's. She walks around the house with them on. Of course when I finally got the camera out to take her picture with them on, she could hardly keep them on. Olivia has this new expression that she does all the time. We're not quite sure what this expression means, but she thinks she is hillarious when she does it, so does it often. (yes that is Noah in just his underwear, this is how you will find him most days at home...potty training!!!!)

At the Cabin

This last weekend we went to our cabin on Camano Island with family to celebrate Dave's birthday. Noah had a great time "cooking" in the pretend kitchen, while Olivia enjoyed eating all of the food Noah made. The weather cooperated enough for us to make it out to the beach a few times.
