Baby Stenzel!

Olivia is going to be a ......
She is very excited and every time we ask her what I am going to have she always says "brother." We'll find out if she is right at the end of January since we didn't find out again what it will be. We like to drive you all crazy with not knowing because that is more fun :) Here are some pictures from my big ultrasound last week.....

Hi everyone! I can't wait to meet you!

Como Zoo

Yesterday we went to the Como Zoo in the cities. It got really hot but we had a lot of fun! Olivia loved seeing all of the animals....especially the monkeys and she really LOVED going on the rides! She even went on rides all by herself for the first time! She thought she was a pretty big girl after that :) Here are some pictures of our day.....
She loved seeing the ducks so much when we first got there that she didn't want to go and see anything else!
One of the small moments she was actually in the stroller. Everything is "I wanna walk" these days and "Olivia do it!"
Funny monkey!
He came down right by the window and Olivia chased him back and forth.
They had a new polar bear exhibit.
Tiger cooling off in the water.
The Lions were tired :)
Liv pointing to the giraffes.
Riding her own giraffe.
First ride of the day! The train....which she is in love with these days.
Liv and I sat in the back of the caboose.
Riding the tea cups with daddy......or as she calls them.....the "pea pups" :)
Mid-ride break for some juice!
I think this was her favorite ride! I don't know how many times she even rode it!
We finally got her to ride in the front of the car and drive!
As she rode by, she would yell "Hi Dad, Hi Mom!"
She went on this ride many times as well and this was her first actual ride all by herself!
Right before we left we all rode on the big carousel. All of the horses were hand carved and huge. You got a really long ride so Olivia loved it! I think she fell asleep in her stroller about 5 min. after we left here on the way to the car :)

22 Months Old!

22 months old and dare we say it.....almost 2! It seems like we were just throwing her 1st birthday party and now we are already starting to plan her next one! We have been talking about how she will be turning 2 and went to the party store yesterday to see what she would like to have for her decorations..........she keeps telling us she wants care bears and then changes her mind to Dora. Those are her 2 favorites. Stay tuned to see who wins :) In the mean time........here are some pictures of the little miss at 22 months......
