Family and Preggo Pictures

My good friend Theresa Pannell is a great photographer.  She loves taking pictures and is pretty stinkin' good at it.  One day she would like to be a photographer full time, but for now she is enjoying being a wonderful Mom to her 2 boys.  She asked if she could take some family pictures of us and some of my preggo belly to help build her portfolio and for fun, so of course we said YES!  Here they are!  Enjoy!

Pumpkin Heads

I found a picture of a little girl wearing a cute pumpkin hat on facebook.  So I naturally sent it over to my mom and asked her if she thought she could make it.  Not only did she make it.  She did it in about 3 days and made improvements to the lacking design.  My mom is one awesome crocheter! 

 

Our little sleep Monster

 So Chris walked into the kid's bedroom around 10pm to take the potty.  The normal night time routine to ensure that everybody is clean and dry in the morning.  Well I heard a loud gasp and a "What the??!!"  in a voice that was way to panicky for my comfort and then laughing and Chris calling me to come check out what was going on.

Sleeping under Josh's Crib!  WHAT?!?!

Fast asleep.

Olivia's First Day of "School"

Olivia started Mom's Morning Out yesterday.  She loves it!  We call it her school.  It is just one day a week to give me a little bit of a break with number 3 on the way.  I took full advantage of only have one kids and went grocery shopping.  Holy cow it is so much easier with just one bug in tow! 

Olivia was pretty excited about what is going on.  I just can't believe how big she is getting! 

She is excited!

Jessie wanted to go to school too but she had to stay home. 

Showing off her new backpack and a perfect example of why we need a new camera.

Checking out the new room.

Saying bye to Mom...more annoyed that we had to go through this process. 

Showing off her artwork to Daddy!

The glue wasn't quite dry...oh no!

Behind

So obviously I have been a little behind with updates since Olivia's birthday post actually happened in September and her birthday is in July.  Life has been pretty busy this summer and spending time at the computer is not one of my favorites, so I apologize.  Hopefully I will be back in the blogger world on a more regular basis, but no guarantees especially since I am 36 weeks now and we are in the middle of buying a house.  But I will do what I can. 

Olivia turns three!

Happy 3rd Birthday Bug!  Olivia is three!  I can't believe it!  It is amazing to think that she is already three, but at the same time kind of weird that she is only three because it is hard to picture life without her.  We had a great birthday celebration.  Gigi (Chris' Mom) came in from NH!  Grandpa Tony couldn't make it but hopefully we will see him for Christmas.

Olivia is obsessed with Toy Story 2!  Loves it!  So we had a Jessie theme Cowgirl party.  Chili, cornbread and strawberry shortcake...yummy!  It was just family and a couple close friends, which was great.  We had such a blast.  My Mom and Dad came out early and we went to the Northville 4th of July Parade.  People kept shouting "Happy Birthday America, " so naturally Olivia thought the parade was for her birthday party.

Chris took a couple days off while his Mom was in town and we went to the Henry Ford Museum.  It was a great time.  It is always sad to see Gigi go, but we love it when she visits.  Of course before she left we went out to sushi...Olivia's Traditional Birthday Dinner.  Yes, her birthday dinner.  The kid (actually both of them) L.O.V.E.S sushi.  This year she requested it.  She is pretty proficient with the chopstick too! 


Happy Birthday Liv!  We love you!
