Baby Doll

 Last week I dressed Olivia in several of my dresses that I wore as a baby.
 
 
 
 
 On a side note, Olivia had to go to the doctor last Wednesday. She was exactly 30 days old and weighed 9lbs 2oz...which means that at one month old she weighed one ounce LESS than Owen did the day that he was born.

Shootin' Hoops

 Jeff set up the basketball hoop for the boys several days ago and we've had some nice weather lately and spent a few afternoons out shootin' hoops.

Breast Friends...

 Owen is fascinated when I feed Olivia and wonders what goes on under my Nursing Cover. He recently used his chore money to buy his very own Storm Trooper and he does a great job of making sure he's receiving all the nourishment he needs...

3 Men & A Baby

Ready for Bed...

After his shower last night Kamden came out dressed like this:

Olivia Goes To Church...

Olivia's first time going to Church was Sunday, March 9th
She even survived High Priest Group with Daddy during the 3rd hour.
I'm sure she's not the only one who slept through most of it :)

Date Night

Before Olivia was born I took each of the boys on a date. We went during the first week of February and Ethan chose bowling followed by frozen yogurt.
  Then Owen and I spent a morning at Wahooz where he played video games and won prizes. Then we had lunch before going to Kindergarten Orientation. He was a bit confused by this and thought he was starting "real school" right then and hated going to Preschool after that. He has since dropped out of Preschool.
Kamden also chose Wahooz and won some prizes before we went and had frozen yogurt.
I'm one lucky girl to have so many handsome dates, and they even open doors and (mostly) remember their manners.

One Month

 Olivia is
ONE MONTH OLD TODAY!
I know everyone says this, but it went by so fast.
She is already growing and getting so big, and she has outgrown her smallest, tiniest clothes.
She has been so content and calm, a great eater and a wonderful sleeper.
Last night she slept from 11:30 all the way to 7am!
I feel like a new woman after getting a full nights' sleep.
She sure is sweet and such a blessing to our family, we're so thankful to have her in our home.
 

Top O' The Mornin'...Happy Saint Patty's Day!

 Our four lucky charms were visited by some Leprechauns last night. They were surprised to find a new T-Shirt, sunglasses, and flip flops. Olivia got purple glasses with rhinestones, but they are still a bit big and she isn't terribly fond of them quite yet. 

Sunday Stroll

 Yesterday was such a beautiful day, we are really looking forward to the warmer weather and summer break is only 11 weeks away! 
We took advantage of the sunshine and went on a walk. Olivia loves her stroller and being outside, she fell right asleep. The boys played at the park and ran around like animals that had been caged for months and were finally free!

Pizza My Heart

Kamden's Primary teacher brought us dinner last week and she had asked him what we liked and he didn't hesitate when he replied,
"PIZZA!"
He insisted that it should be cheese pizza and she was so kind to bring us this huge cheese pizza, breadsticks, and another yummy pizza. Kamden was in HEAVEN and we so appreciate all of the kindness that has been shown to us, especially as we have welcomed Olivia into our home.

Robots & Wacky Hair

 Kamden's class spent some time gathering items that they could build robots out of and I was able to go in and help the morning that they put their robots together.
It was so fun to watch Kamden get excited about building a robot and how he used his imagination to decide what he was going to use. It all came together and he ended up with a pretty amazing robot, as well as about 4 or 5 extra things that he put together for the robot. That was "Read Week" at the school and each day was a different dress up theme, and that day was Wacky Hair Day. Kamden knew just how he wanted his hair that morning, so we made sure it was sticking up all over.
I really love this kid and his enthusiasm for life.

Miss Olivia's Photo Shoot

   My amazing sister-in-law, Charly, was so kind and did a photo shoot for Miss Olivia on March 8th. The photos turned out so sweet and I'm so glad to have them.
Thanks Charly! 
 I love her little smile in this one:
