House of Bounce!

On Sunday we had Addison's 3rd Birthday party at the "House of Bounce." We had never been there before but it was so much fun! The whole building is full of inflatable toys to bounce and play in. Olivia was even able to walk on the bouncey toys pretty well! Here are some pictures of the fun time we had! Happy Birthday Addio!

Bouncin' around....

They had an inflatable area for little kids...no adults allowed! We weren't sure how Olivia would do but she didn't even care that we weren't right there with her...she's a big girl now you know :) She ran around and had a great time all by herself!

Look...I found a ball! Who can I throw this at!

You caught me trying to run away!

Addison gave all of the girls Princess crowns and Liv loved hers!

The 3 ladies after a hard day of bouncing! Addison 3, Ellie 2, and Liv almost the big 1! Thanks for a good time! We will have to go again soon!

My first ride!

On Saturday we went up to the cities for our friend Ellie's 2nd Birthday party. We had so much fun! Before we headed home we went to the Mall of America......shocking I know :) with Amanda and Addison. Olivia got to ride the Merry-Go-Round! She loved it! We will have to go on it every time we go now I'm sure!

Trying to decide which animal we wanted to ride!

We picked the zebra!

It actually went really fast!

Addison and Amanda!

Getting so tired.....but kept on waving to everyone!

11 months old!!! One month to go before the big 1!

One month to go before Miss Olivia turns the big 1! We can't believe how fast our little peanut has grown! Here are some pictures of her at 11 months old.....

A night at the park with my friends!

There is a new park in our neighborhood down at the new school and we go there almost every night. It is so nice!!!! And there are no woodchips to eat....an added bonus! Tonight Olivia's friends Addison and Aubrey met us there for some fun! The girls had a good time! We will have to do it again before it snows!

On our way in our wagon....that I have now learned to climb out of the seatbelt!

When we got there we gave Addison a ride too!

Olivia and Addio swinging on the fun new swings!

Swinging away!

I love the park!

Check out my teeth!

Trip to IL

Last weekend we went down to IL to visit and for Kade's Birthday. We had a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone! Last time we went down Olivia wasn't even crawling and this time she was running around!

Olivia's turn!

How cute are these two!

All the "kids" :)

Look at me!

Olivia is such a climber so it doesn't surprise me that we were in her room today and she just hopped on her lamb all by herself! She loves riding on him but usually we have to put her on it. Such a big girl she is getting to be! She won't even sit in the cart anymore at the store without trying to climb out. She has to "walk all by herself" ....and pull everything off of the shelves!

Teeth!

Check out my teeth! I have 2 teeth now on the bottom that are about half way up. You can see them if you look real close! We will try and get a better picture of them. I also have one on the top that just came through and another on the way! It makes eating so much easier and now we can hear her "crunch" when she chews.

BEEP BEEP!

Addison let Olivia borrow her pink car since she is too big for it now and Olivia LOVES IT! We drive all around now and when we take her out she crys because she wants to get back in! Thanks for sharing with us Addio!

Chris was pushing her up the driveway and letting her fall back down and she was bouncing up and down and screaming.....she thought this was the funnest thing ever! I guess we know she will like rides at the fair!

Walking!!!

Olivia is starting to become a pro with her walking at 10 months! She's a little wobbly at times but does really well! Next week she will probably be running! She is growing up too fast! Here are a couple of videos we got of her skills!

No we aren't bribing her with a book to walk for us :)

How can you not laugh and smile at this walking! It is too funny!
