Happy Birthday Olivia!

OK, I am WAY behind on blogging! But with so much gardening being done, so much summer fun with the children to soak in and enjoy, who has time for blogging? But I will update you all on the most important event that has happened in the past few weeks!

Olivia turned 2! As Olivia has taken to telling everyone, "Me be 2." So cute!

These photos were taken on her real birthday after my 56 mile ride to Ogunquit. I was exhausted, but not too tired to party with the birthday girl and eat a little cake!



Olivia is such a little ray of sunshine. She is a sweet, kind and loving little girl. She loves her dolls, or "people" as she still likes to call them. She adores her brother and loves to do whatever it is that he is doing. Olivia loves to read and do puzzles. She can count to 20, say her ABC's and even recognizes a few letters. She's pretty darn amazing in my book and amazes me with something new every day! I've said it before, but I'll say it again; my children have a talent for taking my breath away!

Olivia has taken to calling me sweetie and honey, as that is how I affectionately refer to her. At night, after I read stories and I am snuggling both kiddos into dreamland, she will wrap her arms around my neck and say, "Snuggle you, OK sweetie?" It melts my heart.

Wow, I love this little girl!

Last Saturday we had Olivia's birthday party. I was planning on warmer weather for water balloons and squirt guns, but the kids enjoyed themselves anyway!

Was it Olivia's birthday party, or Cameron's?

Kendall with a smile on her face :)

Damien and Nate provide the entertainment.

Everyone gets in on present opening action!

Paw Paw using Cole as a shield. Nice!

Olivia was so excited for her birthday cupcake!

Braydon and Maria are good buddies!

And now a game I am calling "What Are They Thinking/Saying?" The following photos are labeled 1, 2 and 3. Leave a comment with what you think the following people are thinking or saying. Feel free to chime in and tell us what you were really thinking or saying if the photo is of you (or make something up, because that's more fun!)

I still have more blogging to do, but I couldn't let more time pass without a birthday post for my beautiful baby girl. Thank you all for sharing her special day with us!
