One little monkey jumping in her bed...



Now that Olivia is able to stand up against things, this is usually how I find her in the mornings and she wakes up from her naps. She doesn't cry when she wakes up so I usually know she is up because I can hear her gabbering and jumping through the monitor. And she thinks she is pretty neat as she is jumping!!!


We had a BBQ the other day with a couple of friends. We always say we are going to have one so it was nice that we actually did. One of our friends, Kaylee, made an AMAZING dessert. It was a strawberry pound cake trifle and it was so good!! In case you don't know what that is, I found a picture online, doesn't it look delicious?? And hers actually looked BETTER than this! We decided that Kaylee was permanently in charge of dessert.

This is Olivia and Abby, our friends Casey and Mallory's little girl. These two are destined to be friends!! Abby is four months younger than Livie but puts Livie to shame in the size department. Abby might be a chunky monkey but she is a dang CUTE chunky monkey. You can say one word to that little girl and she is all smiles and giggles. So I had a ton of pictures of Abby looking ever so cute with big smiles and my daughter just staring at me. Not one smile. Oh well.


She might not smile for me but I can still get pictures of those pretty eyes!!!

Little Beggers

Now that Olivia is able to get herself around, we now have TWO little beggers every time we eat...
but how can you resist such an adorable face??Well, not too much has been going on at our little house. School is out so that is great but poor Casey is taking summer school. It is only one class two days a week so it shouldn't be too bad but it's still school...in the summer...not fun. Olivia is is going and going and going these days. She still crawls around like a goof ball but now she does it incredibly fast!! She is also pulling herself up on EVERYTHING, I don't think it will be too much longer until she is walking. Crazy, crazy. Casey is playing softball again this year but we haven't been able to go to any of his games yet. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks we will be able to go!!
Happy Livie with her Daddy before church

Olivia now thinks my toothbrush is her toy (but what isn't her toy?). She likes to help me brush my teeth in the morning and then go around sucking on my toothbrush. Oh well!
