Glen Oak Park

On Monday, Olivia and I went to the park to play with some of her friends. There were a lot of things to climb on and some slides...she had a blast!


Still likes to wear other people's shoes!

We got Olivia a new bike for outside--it is now complete with Dora stickers;)

Olivia's 1st Haircut!

Olivia and I went for her first haircut today! She was a little timid, but overall--she did okay for her first time. She even got a certificate to go with a lock of her hair:) Before pictures while on the potty!



AFTER!! :)

A little traumatized afterwards

Tara was very patient and did a nice job with Olivia

Father's Day

We spent Father's Day in Peoria this year. It was a low-key day, but we all had a good time! Olivia and I are very thankful for Tim and she did a great job saying, "Happy Father's Day!" Adding the ingredients for waffles



Hanging out:)


Olivia still likes to get inside things! This is her standing inside the car wash bucket she made for Tim at Deb's house.

And now she's inside Tim's outdoor keepsake box we got him!

More breakfast stuff....out of order?!?!

Playing Gator Golf--she got that sucker for going on the potty!

Outside chores with daddy

And now she's inside the sink!

I think it's too big!





Just Hanging Out

Swimming/Movie Date

Well, we have had a great start to summer! Yesterday, Olivia and I went with some friends to the pool. She LOVED it! I think she must have gone down the kiddie water slide about 20 times in a row!! She hasn't yet grasped the concept of waiting in line for her turn, but luckily the others kids just let her push her way through to the front:)

Today, we had a movie date---went to see Toy Story 3. She had seen one of the other Toy Story's when we went for our MN visit, so she was looking forward to Buzz and Woody. It's a long movie for kids, but she handled it like a champ!

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures to share from these great adventures, but I'm sure we will be able to capture some fun times in the coming weeks!

This and That/Early Father's Day

Olivia--stylish as usual--in her pajamas, sweatshirt, and tigger socks! Tim and Olivia helping to make pancakes for Papa--we celebrated Father's Day with him a weekend early.




It was crazy day at Debbie's house--so we tried our best with her hair:)

Arizona Trip

Tim and I went out to Arizona last Sunday for a week. It was hot, hot, hot, but we had a great time, and I definitely enjoyed some relaxation:) I was fascinated by all of the cactuses (or cacti??)




Trying to be funny--I actually pricked myself on this one!! :)
