Waiting for Daddy to Come Home

Some more lost pictures from warmer days. We liked to sit outside under the tree waiting for daddy to come home from work. Olivia was always much more excited by the grass & birds than any toys I brought out.

Happy to be outside!









Yay!! ( mom was picking grass and tossing it up in the air.)









YAY, Daddies Home !!!!

Cooking 101

Some older pictures of Olivia from when we pulled out some noise making kitchen utensils. Gimli seemed like a very helpful soux chef. And Liv really enjoyed making lots of noise with the wooden spoon on the metal bowl.

BAM!!!









This is WAY better than cooking









Hmmm, what's this for?









Here's the deal, I take the pictures, you cook!

Far Away Friends

Our old neighbours were in town this weekend so we had a chance to get together tonight. It was so great to see them, we do miss them dearly (it's cause they're just as crazy as us!) and Carrie, I know you'll kill me for putting up the picture of you, but tough nanners!

Steve & Cy playing X-box, surprise surprise!










Grace & Olivia playing









Grace Smiling for the camera, and Jackson is checking out the game that the boys are playing.









Carrie in all her glory, I think she was saying don't post that picture!!!









Carrie and I being silly and trying to figure out how all those people do the shots by themselves!

Butterfield Acres

We went to Butterfield Acres way back in May for our niece Danni's birthday. And Auntie Renee just found the pictures we thought we'd lost...YAY!!! So here is Olivia when she was only 4 months old, I can't believe how much she's changed!

Liv hanging out in a hammock at the park









A closeup of liv in the hammock, WOW does she look so little!












The girls, Danni, Dayton & Liv being silly.

A Jumble of photos

We take so many photos of Olivia that I'm just going to do another purge here instead of a million separate posts.

Stopping to smell the flowers.










Daddy's Little Girl, how cute!!!









Uh oh, do I hear daddy coming, tell him I wasn't touching ANYTHING!









I'm not touching your x-box, I promise!









Mmmmm Noodles!









Woo Hoo Rice!!!









Help me I'm stuck in a box!









Still stuck in a box but this is kinda fun!

New Mittens!!!

Olivia got her new set of mittens and a hat for winter, and of course because we're parents we had to try them on and torture her. But she aparently likes them, and the photos made us laugh so much we had to share them.

A Visit with Friends

Last week we went over to Amy & Jacquelyn's house to play. Jen and Jasper were there too, the girls met at Pre-natal Yoga last winter and it's been nice to see how the kids are growing and that they can play together now.

Laundry Day

Olivia loves laundry day, she's a very good helper! She likes to sit in the laundry basket to help compact the wrinkles into the clothes and then she'll pull all the clothes out and shake them around to take out all the wrinkles. She's like my own little iron!

We're at the 9 Month Mark

Our crazy little monkey is 9 months old. And as you can tell in these pictures, she's rather mobile and doesn't like being tied down, it was a fight to get these pictures LOL!

Flower Child

Olivia really likes to touch and feel everything, and she's always trying to get at the flowers on the table, so we let her pick one out and play for a bit, she twirled it around like a baton (dad says light sabre) and just sat there content with it, if only she was always so content with simple things!

Our Little Cheerleader

So Cy is rather terrified about this, but Olivia seems to be a bit of a cheerleader. She got hold of two shopping bags and decided she'd cheer us on while we made dinner. She was yelling and waving those bags around like she was at a football game. We had a good laugh about it.

A Visit with Family

This past week we went out to Airdrie to visit my sister and the girls. They spend the summer up at their cabin in Saskatchewan so it was really nice to see how much the girls had grown over the summer, and for them to see how much Olivia had grown and changed too.

Renee & Olivia














Dayton & Olivia










Danni & Olivia

She's not crawling yet.....

But I couldn't help but stage this photo, cause she's SO darn close, we have to show her how to be on her knees, prop them up and such, she stays there for a bit, rocks back and forth then plops down onto her tummy. It looks so weird seeing her in this picture, growing up so quickly, it's sad, but happy too!

More Bathtime Fun

Olivia and daddy love playing in the bath. It gives Cy another chance to torture his kid. Here she's been dubbed bucket head by daddy. The one picture looks like she's workin it !!

Liv's Very Own Wii Mote

With one of the games Cy ordered they sent him a mini Wii Mote key chain.....Olivia sized! So of course we couldn't help but show it to her, the look on her face was priceless!! I'm already scared, she's gonna be just like daddy, loving the video games, someone help me!
