Olivia's Birthday Week!

Olivia's Birthday Week!

Olivia turned 4 on May 16th. She had a week long celebration. She started off with a trip to Build a Bear with her friend Arnav. Barbie took them to pick out new animals followed by Mcdonalds. She came home with Cleopatra that also sings a Happy Birthday song. She had her official Birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. She had a wonderful time with her cousins and friends running wild, playing games, eating cake and she even got to try out the new "ticket blaster". She needed a little support in the ticket blaster but did a great job and scooped up lots of tickets. We had a girls day on her birthday. We had lunch with our friend Barbie followed my manicures and pedicures. She loved getting her fingers and toes painted. Then we headed to Texas Roadhouse for dinner with Grandma, Andy the Armadillo, and Arnav. She sat on the saddle and everyone gave her a big Texas yee haw! She loved it. We spent the next day making cupcakes to take to her class and share with her school friends. So she had just one more celebration at school too! She had a wonderful Birthday week and sends her hugs to everyone who was a part of her celebration!

The last days of April and the beginning of May

The last of April brought more rain. We have been playing outside in between the rain drops as much as we can. We have been to the mall a few times shopping for spring and summer clothes and playing on the indoor playground while we are there. Olivia went to Ady's birthday party at Landon's Corner, she had so much fun. They had music, games, face painting and a balloon artist. We spent the night in Celina with Grandpa and Great Grandma. We went to Aunt Marty's for dinner and to hang out with cousin Lily. Olivia keeps asking when are we going back to GG's house. She always has fun with GG. Olivia thought she would start her month with a round of croup followed by a bilater ear infection. Hopefully she will be feeling better in time for her birthday weekend!

Easter 2011

Easter Weekend

Olivia loves the holidays! She had a busy Easter week. We colored about 4 dozen eggs and she still asked to color more.... She visited with the Easter Bunny and had her picture taken. She went to the New Albany Easter egg hunt with her cousin Emily and Grandma. She had so much fun. They bounced in the bounce house, spent lots of time with the fire men in the smoke house and the fire truck, watched the parrot from the zoo and played on a school bus. Then they had an egg hunt at Grandma's house. She had another hunt at home that night and loved getting her basket on Sunday morning. The weather has been warmer so in between rain and storms we have been outside playing. She mastered her 2 wheeler bike this week (with training wheels) and now I have to jog on our walks. It has been a busy but fun week.

April18th

Easter is almost here and Olivia has been to 2 eggs hunts so far. Tonight she went to Texas Roadhouse with her dad and Andy the Armidillo helped her at the egg hunt. She won a few kids meals as well as candy and a Dora frisbee. Tonight while we were playing "waitress and chef" she took my order and then made me some soup. She asked me if I was ready for my soup de jour and told me if so I need to let it cool a minute before I ate. Soup dejour consisted of bath water and red finger paint soap. It was a treat!

The first of April

April is here and we are still waiting on some nice weather. We have had a few days but have spent alot of time indoors. She started April with an Easter Egg hunt at the swimming pool. She was approved to participate with the 5 year olds (this was the youngest group) She did great though and was able to collect 17 eggs while swimming with her plastic bag. She decided to hit the deeper water though and her bag kept filling with water and pulling her under, now we know next year to bring a mesh bag. She turned her eggs in for prizes and had a great time. We also went to see the movie Hop. Her favorite part was the music where she danced in the aisles of the theater. Olivia notices the funniest things. We were driving downtown past the Wonder bakery and she says "whats that smell, it smells like sprinkle donuts" She notices and remembers everything!
