Olivia and I had the chance to spend some extra time with a few of her friends this week and had a great time either by the pool or hanging out at Fairy Tale Town! Take Care Friends, you will be missed!

Video from Pool Side

Summer is here!!!! And Olivia is fealess and even more wild than ever! She takes to the water like a fish in the sea! She devotes most of her time to swimming in the water, putting her head under while I hold my breathe for her and then jumping face first, belly smacking in to the water all with a huge grin on her face! Keeping her mouth closed is still a far off concept! Go figure!!! Enjoy the video!!

Arizona, Here We Come!!!

Well, it is that time of year again...yes that means that this family is on the move...AGAIN! We are now headed to Tempe, Arizona. Jason will be working for a company (Sports Avenue) and will be working with Arizona State University (Director of Merchandising Concessions) for the next 9-12 months. We are moving on June 30 and driving to Tempe from Sacramento! My Mom will be joining us for the drive and we hope that it is uneventful but fun at the same time!!! Jason has secured a condo for us to live in once we arrive. There is a method to our madness and it is that we expect to move next summer to Ohio in the hopes of settling down for a few years...at least. Once we are in Ohio, Jason will begin to oversee multiple universities across the country! This has been an excited year for us and we have made lots of good friends...I hope the same for Tempe and then head back to Ohio to be close to friends and family! We especially excited about the additions to my side of the family...Baby Maddox was born in February and Baby Eddie was born in May! Olivia can not wait to play with them!!! While we are moving to Tempe at the end of the month, Olivia and I will be traveling to Ohio for the month of August and most of September!!!! We will be heading to the Wood County Fair and also up to Canada for a week vacation! Then working around the house and also in Columbus! We look forward to seeing all of those in Ohio and wish all of our California Friends good luck and we will miss you all!!!! PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH! Address Below.

Last Day of Preschool

This past Thursday was Olivia's last day at Preschool and she dressed in one of her favorite dresses and had a great day with her friends. She played games and painted and most of all had a great day!!! When she left she gave each of her friends a book for the summer and to say good bye! I know that we will miss all of her friends and their parents as we have enjoyed getting to know them while here in Sacramento! I know that Olivia will also miss Ms. Melissa and especially Ms. Karen!!! We can not thank her enough for her help and love and care for Olivia!!! We will miss you all!!!! Have a great summer and hope you all will keep in touch or at least check out our blog once and awhile!!!

Chinese!!!

Dispite getting older, Candice got a cake for her birthday that was made by Olivia, iced by Olivia, candles by Olivia, sung to by Olivia (multiple times) and eaten by Olivia! The best part is that we needed to put the "fire" on it! Happy Birthday!!!

My friend Candice flew out to Sacramento to visit us from Columbus this past weekend. We had tons of fun hanging out with her. Olivia had fun and has a liking to chop sticks (that have now become drum sticks at home) and to chinese food! Thanks for visiting Candice and happy birthday!!!

Swim Lessons

When the weather here in Sacramento got warm enough to use the pool, we were ready. Wings in hand, 3 kinds of sunscreen and our kitty cat towel in tow!!! Olivia got it but was alittle afraid but I reminded her that last year she was swimming all over the place and then she began hanging out by herself in the middle of the pool. A few weeks ago our friends, Mirah and Randy introduced her to pinching her nose and putting her face in the water- now that is a common occurance (with little choking, I might add). Now, this week and next, Olivia is in swim lessons at a California Fitness and she is loving it! She is pulling herself out of the pool , kicking and hopping around like a little bunny without wings. I have not seen any actually swimming (by herself) but I am hope ful that by the end of next week she will have tried. Here's to summer!

Burger Bites

Olivia has discovered cheeze burgers!!!!! Cheeze burgers the size of her head!!!!! Just wait til she discovers burritos the size of her head!!! Our little girl is growing up!!!
