Olivia's 5th Birthday

Olivia had two friends over to celebrate her 5th birthday this year, we went down to the fun factory and made and dressed a duck, a giraffe and a unicorn, then we went home and got pampered by Dayton and Danni for the afternoon while we munched on goodies and watched princess movies, it was a great day.

First Day of Kindergarden

Olivia started Kindergarden this year, she loves her teacher's and has made so many friends already. The first couple days were a bit rocky, there were so many new experiences but now she's got lots of stories for us every day about what she's done and who she's met.

Family Pictures 2011

Our friend Michelle took our family pictures this year, she did a fantastic job, we had so much fun and she got some great shots of us, we're so thankful to have such talented friends!!!

First Visit to Calaway Park

As a family we've never been to Calaway, we weren't sure if the kids would be able to get on the rides being so young, but when I won some tickets on the radio we figured we had to check it out. We had SO much fun, Cy and I got to ride a bunch of the rides too and it brought us back to being kids and going to Calaway ourselves.

Waiting for our car









Carter chaufering us thru the park









hahaha, Olivia riding the mini "Ocean Motion"












Riding the bouncy buggies









Riding the train that goes around the back of the park, this was one of carters favorite rides









My drama girl pouting cause she wanted to sit in a different seat LOL









To make liv happy we gave her our camera so she could take some shots of our train ride, she got a couple really good ones, and a bunch that are of grass and clouds and the people in front of us LOL.









Love this self shot that liv took of her and carter.

My son the Dog

I really enjoy it when the kids get along and play together but I'm not so sure if this was playing together or Olivia taking control LOL.

Swim Time

This was the first time we pulled the pool out this summer, the kids just love playing and swimming and hanging out all day in it.

Cooling themselves with their hats.
