Baseball!

Liv got a purple bat and some whiffle balls so last night we went out and played some baseball. She had a lot of fun but you better watch out when this crazy girl is swinging the bat!

Pitching to Daddy.

Learning how to swing.

Look out!

Peyton hanging out and watching all the action :)

Peyton 4 months! and Big sister Liv!

I can't believe that Peyton is already 4 months old! And every time I look at Olivia....she just looks so big! Here are some new pictures of the girls!

She rolls over both ways now! What a big girl!

She is always eating her hands now and grabs everything to put in her mouth!

Happy girls!

Getting so big!

All smiles!

Livy Lu!

She's something else :)

Can not believe how big she is getting!

Peyton is catching up to her big sister at 25 inches long! 75th percentile!

She brought the foot stool in, jumps on it, and says....take my picure here mommy! What a goof!

Peyton loves to stand up and has since she was 2 months old.....just like her big sister did when she was a baby!

Such a strong girl!

On Sunday night, Amanda and Neil had us over for dinner. The girls had so much fun running around, squealing, and being silly! Olivia slept good that night! Thanks again for the awesome dinner! It was so good!

double trouble!

Twins Game!

On Saturday....the day I turned 29 +1....we went to the Twins game for my birthday! It was so much fun and Chris got us front row tickets so we were right off of first base! Even though my favorite man wasn't playing :( they still won and in extra innings so it was a really good game!!! The only game they won that weekend too so at least we went to the right one! Next up....the Britney concert with Amanda and Bethany....my present from Chris! So excited!

Chris and I in our front row seats!!!

We even got put up on the big jumbo tron screen after the twins won!

Vickie and Matt were at the game too so we met up with them after to go to the casino and lose all of our money :)

Vickie and I :)

Illinois Trip...

A couple of weekends ago we went to Illinios for Karen and Franks 35th anniversary party and Karter's baptism. It was a busy and fun weekend with everyone! Liv had so much fun playing with all of the kids out at the cabin and at Kim and Nates house!

The girls and Grandpa!

The girls and Grandma!

Grandma and Grandpa and the babes!

Peyton kept wanting to hold Karter's hand....it was so cute! She is really into grabbing and holding everything right now!

My mom got them matching outfits....they were too cute :)

Karter was a little sleepy :)

Great Granny :)

Peyton and Great Granny at Erin's confirmation party :) She loves her!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope you all had a great Mother's day!

Me and my girls :)

Me and Peyton bug :)

Me and Livy Lu :)

My present! A sit and stand stroller! Now the girls can ride in style! Liv made Chris push her all around the house in it while she ate her snack because her and her awesome head band (so she could be like mommy she told me) thought she was pretty cool :)

Sitting up like a big girl!

Crazy Liv :)

Peyton's Baptism

Last Sunday we had Peyton baptized at our church. It was a great day....minus the snow! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us! It was really nice to have everyone there with us!

Little miss all ready to go!

The girls looking pretty in their dresses. These two were quite the pair this weekend :)

Peyton in her pretty baptism gown that Grandma Stenzel made....the same dress Olivia wore for her baptism. Thanks again for doing some minor button adjustments the night before Karen!

Liv and Matt.

Peyton fell asleep right before we started......and slept the entire time :)

Liv doing the sign of the cross on Peyton's head.

Peyton loves bath time so the water didn't even phase her.....on she slept :)

Lighting of the candle.

Peyton's godparents....Auntie Kim and Uncle Nate!

Us with Grandpa and Grandma Volden

Us with Auntie Vickie and Matt

Us with Grandpa and Grandma Stenzel

The awesome cake Auntie Vickie made for Peyton. It tasted great too!

Peyton and Andrea. If there's ever a baby around....this is the person to look for because she always has them and will steal them away from you :) Her and my mom that is....I don't know who's worse :)
