Pumpkin Patch!

Today we went to Tweites's Pumpkin Patch. The weather was beautiful! Last year we were in big coats and hats......so this year was nice! Olivia had a lot of fun running around and picking out her pumpkins. Here are some pictures from our trip!
A little taller this year!
Chris and Olivia climed the big castle!
Peeking out of the castle.
Where this little monster belongs :)
Running through the corn maze.
Riding the purple horsey
Mining for pretty rocks.
I found one! She had so much fun doing this!
All of her pretty rocks she found in the mine!
Going down the big slide!
Pumpkin patch! She wanted to pick every one of them! She also wanted to ride in the wagon with the pumpkins.
Helping push all of her big pumpkins!
Taking the hayride back with all of her pumpkins. Her favorite was her "little" one that she had to carry all around herself :)
Having a snack after all of her hard playing and pumpkin picking. She insisted on getting popcorn!

Lots of updates!

The blog has been updated with lots of new pics! They wouldn't all fit onto one page of the blog so make sure once you get to the bottom of the blog to hit "older posts" to view all of the new pics! Enjoy!......because it took me ALL NIGHT to do :)

Olivia's 2nd Birthday Party!

Thank you to everyone for making Olivia's birthday party so much fun! She loved every minute of it and had so much fun playing with her cousins and friends! Our living room looks like a tornado because of all her new fun toys.......and we have to play with ALL OF THEM at the same time :) Olivia is very lucky to have such great family and friends!
This years party theme was Dora....her absolute favorite cartoon right now :)
She loved her Dora balloon and it was just her size! Giving Dora a hug!
Silly birthday girl!

This was her favorite present....Jack-in-the-box! Everyone else liked it too!
Dora cupcakes! They took a long time to make but turned out cute. What was I thinking!

She blew out her candle all by herself this year! What a big girl!
Again she enjoyed Dora's chocolate hair, chocolate chip eyes, and fruit rollup mouth......and not the actual cake :)
Yum!
