Memorial day

We had a really nice afternoon with Kailub. Joel, and Brenna today! The guys both had the day off so it was really nice to all get together! I think the last time we did that was in December! Olivia was *so* interested in Brenna- it was so cute! She kept bending over to look at Brenna's face! Here they both are....

Playing so nicely together...

Us with our girls.

Both of them standing at the table. Olivia isn't really that much bigger than Brenna- she is just standing up straighter in this picture!

They both did great and Olivia finally napped right before they left so she got in a couple good hours of playtime with Brenna. She was so tired we ended up having to wake her up from her nap at 530 just so she wouldn't sleep too much into her bedtime! Happy memorial day everyone... I am back to work tomorrow so I probably won't be updating too much- although I will try my hardest to get Olivia's monthly update in! I can't believe she is almost 8 months....

Olivia recently

Here are some recent pictures of Olivia. She is just growing up so fast now! She crawls all over QUICKLY. She is also pulling herself up to stand on everything she can, and does that very quickly too! She got what I think is her first cold this week. I got congested a few days ago and she started getting a runny nose about one day after me. John has it now too! I am already feeling a lot less congested now though so I am hoping she clears up soon! She doesn't really seem to be bothered much by it though- still sleeping all night!

Uh-oh... standing in the dishwasher!
Such a pretty girl!

Laughing at Martini through the door.

She is also napping much better now, tends to nap at least an hour (sometimes 3!) I hear her waking up now so I better go!

30th birthday weekend

Some pictures of John's actual 30th birthday. Olivia dressed up in a pretty party dress for the occasion. We had dinner over at Dad and Sandy's house and I decorated a pre-made cake.

hanging out

Olivia is wondering what is so funny!

John got this shotgun from his grandpa- it was his hunting gun and now it is John's. John was *very* excited!

It was a fun weekend that went by very fast! It was nice to have Harry and Audrey here Saturday as well to help celebrate!

Hapy 30th birthay John!

Saturday May 22 was John's 30th birthday. I didn't have time to post pictures until today of over the years but here are a bunch! These aren't in any sort of order. Pictures of Vashon, Ballard, Spokane, weddings, trips, camping, fishing, and John becoming a daddy. I couldn't ask for a better husband or daddy to Olivia! We love you John!
