Olivia Turns 2 with Abby Cadabby

Olivia turned 2 and the day was absolutely perfect! We decided to celebrate the day with Abby Cadabby to help host and a big castle bouncy house. Thankfully, it was a lot warmer than the day she was actually born. We had many friends and family come and help us celebrate the special birthday girl. We are so very blessed.

The birthday girl.

We had to include 2 of Olivia's favorite things:bubbles and balloons! She was beside herself!

Abby Cadabby cake.

Olivia is some kind of daddy's girl. They are two peas in a pod.

She LOVED the bouncy house. Can you tell???

Ring around the rosie with Cole (her boyfriend).

Birthday hugs given with lots of love!

Well...someone skipped the cake and went straight for the candy. Surprise, surprise!

My two loves. Soon, I'll have three! My cup runneth over!

35 Weeks

We are finally on the official countdown of baby Ford joining our family. I am 35 weeks and hoping that he is going to come 2 weeks early just as Olivia did. I am becoming quite uncomfortable and it is getting harder to carry and take care of Olivia with a basketball of a belly. I am really trying to savor this time being pregnant and spending quality one on one time with Olivia. I know the time will pass so quickly and we will have 2 toddlers in the house before we can even blink our eyes. For now I am just wishing this back and feet pain away.

Some Favorite Things

Well, well well...it finally happened. Olivia is getting out of her big girl bed on her own. We gave her a cute little painted step stool for her birthday to put at the end of her bed. It had been there for a good week without her really acknowledging it. Well, around the end of nap time yesterday I hear "moommmmy, come heeerre" which is not very unusual. I open the door to find an empty bed but what you see below. Olivia just a rockin away in her rocking chair. She looked at me and said "mommy, I wake up" with a BIG smile. I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear and take a quick picture. She is just growing up way too fast!

 As you know, Olivia LOVES balloons. She had lots of balloons at her birthday party and of course, wanted to sleep with them. She looks like she could float away at any minute.

Last night they got a ride in the grocery cart.

Her birthday party was the day before her actual birthday so on her birthday we let her choose what she wanted for supper and then had cake and ice cream and of course, we sang to her again and had candles. It was so funny because the whole time Hays and I sang to her she also sang...to herself.

Before I know it she'll be blowing 18 candles out.
