Weekend in Michigan cont

Awe, she just loves to stand

We spent the night at Mema's the night before went to Michgian to break up the long drive. Liv loves to ride the tractor with Papa. They must of been on that tractor for an hour.

Olivia's Dance Program

Choo's visit

Olivia has been doing dance for several months now. At the end of every 6 week session the parents or grandparents can come in and watch. So my dad came down to see her. It was over Fall Break, unfortunately it was kind of a bummer because barely any kids were there. My dad came down to watch. We went to Olivia's favorite place to eat for breakfast: Chick Fil-A. I just love that top picture. Ava looks so cute in that hat. It is always nice to see my dad. I wished we lived closer. The very next day he and Michelle left for Australia.

Dancing Queen

Liv you are my dancing queen. We spend hours down in the basement being Olivia's audience. We found some cute mirrors back at IKEA and we put them on the wall. She loves to watch herself twirl. This is a great activity for the entire family. Ava loves to watch Liv dance and move all around. A lot of the times we are actually involved in her dance routine which she calls "The Red Cross".

Surprise

Ava is a complete "chow hound". The baby never gets full. She loves cheese. I usually feed her pancakes, blueberries and watermelon for breakfast. Oh, and I recently introduced her to the "goldfish" cracker which she loves. It is a great incentive for her to get into the crawling position.

Liv and I were thrilled back in October to see her sitting up when we went in and got her from her nap. We have found her like this around 4 times. The first time was so cute, she was just looking around at everything.

Well it has been forever since I last posted. I have been working on turning my blog into a "blog book". I compiled basically the last year of posts into a book and I just recently got it back and I love it! I worked very hard on it and I think it turned out great. So now I am going to try harder to put even more pictures on here and keep them in order because I love how the book turned out so much. I don't have time to scrapbook anymore, so the concept of being able to turn this blog into a photo book is a great invention for this gal. So, I am going to pretend like it's the month of October and get back into blogging. Hopefully one day I will be current again!

Jacob is 5

Jacob turned five last Sunday and a bunch of us went to the Headless Horseman festival to celebrate his birthday at Connor Prairie. Besides standing in line A LOT we had a great time. The weather was awesome. I was really apprehensive about the hayride and how Olivia would react to all the "scary stuff". She really liked it and had a blast. They had tons of activities for the kids. We definitely will go again next year. I am wearing a spider on my head here. Thanks Amy!

Jadyn, Max and Livie

We had pizza and cupcakes before we went into the festival.

Sisterly fun with some added drama

Olivia picked Ava's outfit out so they could match.

"Liv lets not be so rough. I don't think putting her on a lid and trying to slide her is the best option for Ava, do you"?

Fall Fun at Richey Woods

A few weeks back Christin and I took the kids to Richey Woods. It was a great day. The kids got to play many games, carve pumpkins and do some crafts. Olivia played more of a role in carving her pumpkin this year, which really excited her. Our pumpkin doesn't have a mouth, I didn't bring the best carving tools. The best thing about this program was that it didn't cost a cent! The very last picture is of Olivia and I at the Little Mermaid. What a cute program that Beef and Boards put on.
