Straight to Summer

I am so glad that the random cold fronts have stopped, and the warm weather has arrived for us to enjoy! Olivia had Splash Day at school last week. Then on Saturday, Olivia played in her pool while Callie napped and Ethan and I enjoyed some crawfish in the backyard. After the girls' naps, we went back outside, this time with Callie. Ethan decided to jump in too!

In between these two fun water days, I met up with the ladies in my family for a belated Mother's Day luncheon at La Madeleine.

Olivia went straight to the babies.

We shared Splash Day with the two-year old class.

Enjoying a push popsicle!

Olivia loves mini fruit tarts from La Madeleine!

These girls have completely different looking hair!

Callie continues to sit well on her own.

Had to have matching suits!


I'm glad we could have some fun water time as a family. 
Our neighbors had a pool built 4 years ago, and they are hardly ever in it!
We like to keep things simple :o)

It's not quite Memorial Day, but Happy Summer!

April & May 2013

I apologize for not updating the blog regularly lately! But, we certainly have not had a shortage of pictures documenting our every day, crazy lives. Here are just a few.

Happy Birthday, Olivia!

On March 18th, Olivia Mei turned 3 years old! We didn't put on a big party this year. We just had three small, separate celebrations, ha! Ethan and I are very blessed to have such a happy and healthy girl and for her to be a big sister to Callie.
 
 
Callie's 4 month picture I forgot to post. She will already be 5 months this Sunday!
 

As Ethan says, "Two China dolls!"

This was the look on Olivia's face when she heard Taylor Swift playing over the speakers. Have I mentioned that she is in love with Taylor?!?
Smallcakes sells cupcakes, and also has a great play area and crafts for the kids. They had fun activities all week during Spring Break.
 
We came back to Smallcakes that same week to meet up with another sweet friend.

Callie says "Yea, I know I'm cute"

All smiles. This is one of my most favorite hand-me-down outfits from Olivia.

All month long, Olivia has been saying, "It's so hard to wait for my birthday."

We've always had photos done for Olivia's birthday, but being so busy with Callie made me forget to schedule some to be taken by our photographer. This was Sunday afternoon, in the morning on the way out the door to church, Olivia was twirling on the tile floor and tripped over her own sandals. Needless to say, a bloody busted lip did not keep her from the celebrations.


1st celebration: dinner at Chuy's!

 


Bitty Baby! She's named her "Little"


Aunt Faye stopped by

2nd celebration: Chick Fil A dinner at home!

Olivia is always so gentle and sweet with Callie.

3rd celebration: Mommy visits school. Olivia was the "show and tell" helper that day.

Just gotta say how cute it is to see small people eating their lunches at a small table, on small chairs.

Mommy brought a cookie cake to share with her friends.

She has remnants of the cookie cake on her face.
