Circus

A couple weeks ago we went to the circus with our friend’s the Alexander’s. It was so much fun watching the kids faces in amazement at all the animals and different acts. Olivia and Daddy even got to ride an elephant! Olivia was so excited to ride but as soon as she got on she pretty much looked terrified until she got off and laughed and said “that was fun!” I think both of the kiddo’s favorite part was the motor cross act! It was pretty amazing watching these guys flying through the air on the motorcycles! I caught a cute video of Olivia watching it =)

Olivia LOVED cotton candy!

There’s Olivia and her little friend Owen!

This was kinda crazy…..you could buy a ticket to get your picture taken with this bear as they kept him entertained by feeding him a box of cereal. He’s just sitting there on his little wooden chair!

Matt and Olivia got front seats on the elephant ride!

There’s the guy’s and kiddo’s!

        

Here’s the video of Olivia watching the motor cross act. Whoa! =)

Valentine’s Day

We had a fun and low key Valentine’s Day! We made a heart cookie for Gags, Pops, GG, and Daddy! Then we drank some pink milk, read some sweet books, drew little hearts on Olivia’s cheeks, went to ballet, and for the grand finale, we went to chickfila for dinner! It was a perfectly sweet and simple day!

She wore her heart tutu especially for Valentine’s Day! I must say that at the end of each ballet class one student gets a prize for something.  Olivia got it for being such a good little listener and stretching her legs even though it was hurting =)

Playtime With Abby!

Libby’s Baby Shower

Yesterday, my friend Michele and I hosted a baby shower at my house for our wonderful friend Libby (Cami’s mama)! Unfortunately, poor Michele (who is also pregnant) got hit hard with the flu the night before so couldn’t make it to the actual shower! We sure did miss her!

Libby is having another baby girl in March and we are all so excited to meet her! Since she’s having another girl, and didn’t need much of anything besides diaper and wipes, what do then to throw her a Diaper and Wipes party!? It was a fun and laid back brunch/get together to celebrate baby girl #2.

Matt and I made these invitations for her shower!

Here’s some shower décor! We had fruit, bagels and cream chees, and a wonderful quiche that Michele made (her Mom brought it to us)!

I made homemade cupcakes! Yum!

We had a coffee, tea, and juice bar!

Here’s the guests for a group picture!

There’s me with the mama to be! Love you Libby!

Stone Age

Yesterday, we went with our cousin’s Rob and Lara to the rock climbing gym, Stone Age. We took Olivia with us to climb too! It was so much fun! Our arms are really sore today though!

Olivia looked so cute in her little climbing shoes and harness!

There’s Olivia watching everyone climbing!

There's Lara and Rob!

She’s so strong!

And there’s Mommy and Daddy!

Olivia's Ballet Buddies

First Dentist Appointment

Is it weird that I cried at Olivia’s first dentist appointment today??? I just couldn’t have been more proud of how sweet she was and how well she did! Matt and I smiled the entire time. I really think she enjoyed the experience and will be excited to go back for another cleaning in 6 months! We love her Dentist too. His daughters go to ballet with Olivia and they are a sweet family! Here’s a look at her appointment.

Look at her precious face! I told her she was going to get to sit in a really special chair because it moves, so her face was priceless when the hygienist started laying her chair back.

Each chair has it’s own little flat screen TV. They asked Olivia what she wanted to watch during her cleaning and she picked Happy Feet. She’s just laying there so sweet and calm.

Holding sooo still for her xray!

One last check from the dentist….

And then she got a prize bag! yay Olivia!!! Her teeth are perfect =)

The Little Gym

I’ve been looking for preschool’s for Olivia but because of her birth date she can’t actually start until the fall. So in the mean time, I took Olivia for a free trial class at The Little Gym and she absolutely loved it! She actually mouthed to me from inside the gym “I love this!” So I signed her up! It’s a great way for her to build muscles, confidence, learn some gymnastics, and make some friend’s. The class is structured very well and they do so many neat activities! I highly recommended it if anyone is looking for some some extra activities for your kids. Here’s just a glimpse of one of the things Olivia got to do on Friday. There’s not really any sound on the video because I was looking through the glass.

Look what she can do already! haha =)

Power Wheels and Randomness

A couple weeks ago we went over to Owen and Autumn’s house to let the kiddos ride their brand new power wheels together! Owen and Autumn got an awesome red mustang for Christmas! They had a blast riding around together. Owen even let Olivia drive his sweet mustang!

    Lol! Gotta love Nessie!

 

Here’s the randomness

Olivia was bored one day and decided to move her toys into the hallway

 

Olivia and Cami playing dress up! They're so cute!

Yay! Story time at the library started back up! Olivia was so excited to go see Pocco (the puppet at story time). We met Cami and her mama there too =)

There’s Olivia watching my Mom (Gagi) on TV! She’s the Jail and Prison Ministry director at our church Sagebrush. Her and her friend were on this channel talking about the ministry. To give you a quick overview, she goes to the jails and prisons multiple times a week and does Bible studies and mentors the women there. You should hear all the amazing stories. She also helps them once they get out. If you run into her you’ll have to ask her all about it! It’s pretty amazing! So proud of my mama!
