Our Pretty Ballerina

We FINALLY got Olivia into her tutu (it was a Christmas gift from Aunt Jennifer). She loved it, even though the face doesn't really show it! :)

Doing a twirl with daddy

21 Weeks!

We had an ultrasound yesterday. The baby looked great! Olivia got to watch and could tell it was a baby when we saw some of the 3D pictures.

I'm starting to show:) Not feeling too much movement yet, if any, but the doctors say it should be anytime. This is me at 21 weeks.

Trip to the Zoo!

We are having wonderful weather this weekend in Peoria, so we took Olivia to the zoo today. She had a great time and saw a lot of animals!

The new Africa exhibit that opened last year

I think she may have like the statues better than the animals!

Fun at the Park

Olivia made herself at home in Jaxon & Kylie's playhouse. They all had a lot of fun playing together. Aunt Jacqueline & Kylie

Pretty Kylie!

Don't ask me how both of them got in this swing!! :)

Something caught their attention:)

Mall of America (or as the natives call it--the MOA)!!

We were able to go to the Mall of America on one of the days we were in MN. The kids all had a blast riding the rides and we even got a bit of shopping in.
Greg took the kiddies on the Azul train ride (from Dora)

Mom and Olivia on the Carousel

The kids had a lovely tea party back at the house--what a way to finish the day!

Happy Easter!

We got to decorate eggs with Jaxon and Kylie this year:) This is Jax and Olivia showing off their eggs.

Being very careful

Olivia did a great job scooping out the eggs when they were finished

Finding eggs....

Spring Break!

We have been spending our spring break in Minnesota with Greg, Bria, Jaxon, & Kylie. It has been a blast. We've gone to the park, the Mall of America, dyed easter eggs, and will be having an egg hunt before we leave. What a wonderful trip it's been so far--with great weather! We'll be posting pictures soon:)

A Bravo Moment
