Under the Big Top!

We had Olivia's 3 year old birthday party this past weekend! It was a circus themed party at such a fun place called Parties on the Move complete with "Whistler the Clown!" Olivia talked about her party for weeks prior to the big day! So, you can only imagine how excited she was when she woke up Saturday morning to discover it was the big day! She had so many sweet friends there to help her celebrate! They jumped their little hearts out, got fun balloons from the clown, and got their faces painted. It was a fabulous day!! Thank you to all our sweet friends and family who came to help celebrate such a special day!!!

Meeting Pappaw!!

Pappaw came to town last week to see the girls and meet Ella Grace for the first time! Olivia loved spending some time with him and playing his games.=) Pappaw is the only great-grandparent on my side of the family that my girls will get to know! I'm so thankful for every chance they get to spend with their great-grandparents. What a blessing it is to that they can help us shape and influence our children's lives!

School Celebration...

Olivia got to take a special treat to school on Monday to celebrate her birthday. She choose to take doughnuts with sprinkles instead of cookies.=) She was so excited to get to school with her treat and proud to tell her friends she was "tree" years old!! Precious!

She's 3 ALREADY!?!?!?!?!?

How can it be that my sweet baby girl is already 3 years old??!!! I can hardly believe it! What joy she has brought to our lives the past 3 years! We had such a fun day celebrating her life! She started the day out with nothing other than a pink doughnut, of course! It's her favorite!=) We took her to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and to the movies. She has been eager to see How to Tame Your Pet Dragon.....and she loved it! What a fun day it was!!

Sweet Little Artists in the Making....

Our sweet friend Katelyn came to play several days ago while her mommy went to the doctor. Katelyn is going to be a big sister in the fall so she got to experience first-hand what it's like to have a baby in the house when she came to play.=) They watched a movie, played dress-up, cooked up some yummy food in Olivia's kitchen, and painted. I think painting was their favorite part of the play-date......it entertained them for quite awhile!=) We look forward to having more play-dates over the next 6 months while Katelyn's mommy checks up on that sweet, growing baby!=)

Easter Morning...

Easter morning was a bit hectic at our house to say the least! It was our first Sunday back to church and trying to get everyone fed and dressed on top of enjoying what the Easter Bunny brought was enough to stress anyone out. However, we did make it to Sunday School and church....we were just 30 minutes late!=) ha

Olivia loved waking up to a basket full of goodies and was so sweet to help Ella Grace see what was in her basket too! Unfortunately, due to the chaos of getting out the door we have not one picture of the family dressed up for Easter Sunday! =( We will have to try again at a later date! However, we did get to accomplish the most important thing....worshipping and praising God for the resurection of His Son! Truly a special day to celebrate!

Easter Play Date!

Sweet love!

Ready to go to the party!=)

Olivia's favorite thing to do....JUMP!

Ella Grace and Brooks....chillin out, taking it all in! Won't be long until they are running around too!!

Today our sweet friend Henry(and especially his mommy!) was nice enough to invite us over for an Easter Party/Play Date at his house! There were 11 kiddos all together!! Despite how chaotic that may sound, it was really super fun. They jumped outside, had an Easter egg hunt, played in the backyard, and ate a yummy lunch!! The best part for me of course is getting to catch up with some of my favorite girlfriends in the midst of chasing kids!
Thank you Mrs.Brooke for having us over!! It was such a fun day!!!
