Olivia at 2 1/2 years...

It's an understatement to say Olivia has developed at break-neck speed these past 6 months! She is fully potty trained (although public restrooms still scare her), she speaks in full sentences, can say her ABC's, count to 10 (if she really wants to!), loves to sing and dance, is really into pretend play, has a few select toys she has to carry with her from room to room and in the car, loves to watch Disney Princess movies like Cinderella and The Little Mermaid (we finally moved on from the Lion King whew!), loves to snuggle in our big bed (which Max and I absolutely LOVE!), and if she could live at the park (or outside in general) she would!

We are truly amazed every day at her ability to retain information, her sweet heart, compassion, and the laugh that makes our world get brighter! Mommy and Daddy love you Olivia Grace!

Here are a few pics from the last two months...

End of Year Party

We truly enjoyed Olivia's new school this year! She was in the "Runners" class on Mondays and 

Wednesdays from 9-1 and it was great for us both.

Today we had her End of Year party and are gearing up for 

Summer Break YAY

 Dancing to one of her favorite songs she learned in Chapel.

Mother's Day 2013

This is my beautiful girl who makes me want to 

be the best person I can for her. She makes my life happier, more full,

more challenged, and more rewarding than 

anyone could have prepared me for.

Thank you Olivia for making my life so wonderful!

 Enjoying this beautiful day!

 Livi and her cousins squirting Uncle Trent with water guns!

Uh Oh! He's gonna get her! It was truly a beautiful day.

Preschool Art Show and Concert

 I know these all need to be rotated but I can't get them to rotate!!

So everyone...turn your head to the left and enjoy! 

 She was so stinkin' cute! She is right in the middle.

 She did a great job singing and doing the moves! 

Enjoy these videos ;)

Beauty and the Beast Pancake Breakfast

Olivia and I met our friends The Jomaa's 

for a fun morning of Disney characters and pancakes! 

The girls had such a great time and Olivia was enamored

with Belle!

 These actors are a part of the drama club at North

Forsyth High School. They were great with the kids!

What a great way to start our Saturday!
