Olivia's Magazine Cover

This is the cover of a small catalog that Olivia got to be on. Her pictures are through out the entire magazine and I think she did a great job! I thought the cover pic was absolutely precious(just a proud mom's opinion)! We did this back in October, so she was about 5 1/2 months old.

11 Months!

She fell asleep the other night watching Mickey Mouse. So sweet!
Olivia's favorite thing to do is go through my purse and wallet and pull EVERYTHING out! She does it about 3 times everyday.
Sometimes it is just easier to let Olivia feed herself. She decided the bowl would make a perfect hat:)

Olivia is a very entertaining baby. She has gotten quite the personality and attitude lately. She has a total of 8 teeth, 4 top and 4 bottom. She hasn't had an ear infection in over a month, yeah! She is getting very close to walking. Just tonight, she took seven steps. But she is very stubborn about walking and will only do it when she wants to. She is still very loud! How did I get the two loudest kids in the world?? Olivia is awesome at going to sleep, just not staying asleep! She still gets up numerous times a night and I haven't had the energy to let her cry it out. Speak of the devil, she just woke up:) Why can't my children sleep through the night? I will forever be jealous of those people whose babies have slept through the night since they were 4 months old. Her new thing she started doing is sticking her hand in her mouth and gagging herself. She gags herself until she starts coughing. She thinks it's hilarious. We were feeding the missionaries the other night and she started gagging herself, and then all of the sudden she was throwing up! The missionaries were pretty disgusted by it! Ahhh, the joys of being a parent.

Disney On Ice

Micha took Maddy to Disney on Ice last week. Maddy loved it and came home quite wired on all the junk they ate. She told me her favorite part was the big crocodile that came out and Goofy falling down.

Dying Easter eggs

Marji, Jim, and the kids were in town for Easter weekend. We went to the zoo on Saturday, it was a perfect day and all the kids had a great time! We all went to church in Hot Springs and then had lunch at mom and dad's. We had a wonderful lunch(of course), and all ate way too much. Despite the awful weather, we still had a great time and the kids got to hunt eggs inside this year.

The Wonder Place

We went with JP and Brock to the Wonder Place. The kids had a great time and we ended up staying for about 2 hours.

Brock would not look at the camera, he was too into the sand.


Maddy concentrating on her finger painting.

Olivia's favorite was the water...of course!

Maddy's favorite this time was the Veterinarian section.
This is where Olivia usually ends up when I am trying to get ready. She loves sitting in the sink and getting into everything.
Gotta love the bath pics
It was so cute, the other day Olivia sat in the living room looking at books for like 30 minutes. She was so content just sitting there, but as soon as I got the camera to capture it, she stopped what she was doing.

The girls enjoying a Popsicle outside.

Olivia got a little fussy on the way to Austin so we gave her some cookies and she made a beautiful mess with them!
Isn't this just a lovely pic of Maddy.Too bad you can't hear the snoring we got to enjoy on the way to Austin.
