Halloween Jig

Olivia started dancing the moment we walked into the gym. She was so funny. Everyone was standing around watching her!

Halloween 2008

This year Olivia was a little Fairy. We thought she was just the cutest little thing ever! Pete and I took her to church for a party and she just ran all over the place. We were so tired when we got home we didn't even have time to eat her candy!! Don't worry we will get to it very soon!

The cutest little fairy ever!!

Jack the Pirate Skeleton is her favorite thing now. He dances and sings ZZ Top Sharp Dresses Man and several other tunes. She drags us into the room first thing in the morning! 8:00 am is not the time for dancing skeletons or ZZ Top!

Here is Olivia's jig at the Barn n Bunk. She loves music!! She stops and dances anytime she hears music!

Picking out a Pumpkin

Last weekend Pete and I took Olivia to The Barn n Bunk to pick out a pumpkin. She had such a blast running around. There was a guy playing the guitar and singing and she had so much fun dancing to the music.

Thomas the Train

Olivia went to see Thomas the train with her Dad, Grandma Jane and our friends Tony, Christin and Dean. They had such a good time. Pete said that it was sooo hot on the train. Maybe next time we will go when it is a little cooler!

Olivia was hot and tired. She was about to fall asleep in this picture.

Olivia's 19 month pictures

Here are Olivia's 19 month pictures! Isn't she the cutest? One of my favorites is the one with her boyfriend Dean! They are too cute together!

Ok, so we have been home from the beach for quite some time, but I just realized that I need to post some pictures on the Blog. Olivia had a blast at the beach. She loved every minute of it. She loved to run down the beach towards the ocean. A little scary, but way cute!

Olivia got a new laptop the other day. She had so much fun sending emails to all of her friends! Sometimes she does stuff that makes us laugh so hard. This was one of them. I am really proud of myself for actually having the video camera ready!

Olivia's Hat

Pete told Olivia that this was her hat! Well, she believed him and she wouldn't take it off! She kept looking at her self in mirror. These are so cute!

Isn't she cute???

Howdy!

Cincinnati Children's Museum

Yesterday we took Olivia to the Cincinnati Children's Museum. She had a blast! She ran all over the place. Here are a few pictures of her adventures!

She knows where the baby's eyes are! She kept jabbing it in the eye!

Livy showing her attitude!

Just in case you didn't know, we have put our house on the market. We hope to sell this house so we can build a much needed bigger house in Madison Township. Here is a link to the site... http://www.sibcycline.com/viewlisting.asp?mls=1126726&b=CIN&p=RESI&s=SFRD&m=1&sender=SearchResults&a=8118-Timberjack-Wy-West-Chester---West-OH-45069

Livy has been so good. She helps me "clean" the house before the people come to see it. I think I must spend 30 minutes cleaning up after her. We are lookin forward to this new chapter in our lives.

Our Family

I am new to this blogging stuff. I hope that we can keep in touch with our family and share pictures. Anyway here goes!!!!!!

Olivia's First Birthday!

It is hard to believe that just over a year ago our little girl arrived. I can't tell you rewarding yet challenging this year has been for all of us. We have watched our baby turn into this amazing little girl. We are so proud that she seems to have gotten the best traits of both of us. Pete seems to think that she got her "spirit" from me. Which is not always the best complement. HA! We are looking forward to her walking (more than the few steps she takes now), more words (she says Daddy, Christmas tree, and occasionally Momma), and so much more. We hope that you all will come here and take a peek at what is going on in our lives. Maybe we can keep in touch with more of you in 2008!
