Morning of the Permanent Marker...

On Saturday morning Olivia found a permanent marker. She used it mostly on herself, then on the kitchen chair and the floor as well. She has an arm full as you can see in the pictures and then down her leg all the way to the bottom of her heel. Punkie is lucky she wasn't around or she would have been coloured too! We finally found the marker she had used in the doggie dish. The night before this Livie got a hold of our only set of car keys. John and I looked for about ½ and hour while asking Olivia to please find them for us. She helped us look but mostly just kept saying "don't know". Finally I heard a drawer in the bathroom close and out came Liv with our keys...I guess she remembered where she put them. Or she was having fun watching us look for them and decided the game was over. Here are her little mischievous grins the morning of the marker.

Goin' Fishin'

We got to ride around the farm in the fishing boat!

(Just helping Grandpa get it ready for the first outing of the season.)

Livie's Fashion Show

Here is Olivia's very own fashion design. A bathing suit over a nightgown...BEAUTIFUL!

Hot Stuff

Here's one of our little super stars enjoying the hot sun.

Beach Day

On Monday Amber had her very first game of T-Ball. She was so excited to go play. There were tons of kids there including her friend Andrea which was a nice surprise. They got to play on the same team. She did really well! She ran after every single ball that came in her direction, and figured out how to run those bases fast. It was lots of fun to watch. Of course I didn't bring my camera, so hopefully next Monday I will have some pictures. Anyway, enjoy the pictures of the kids playing outside today..it was hot! The car said it was 33° outside at 5:00! Amber spent over 3 hours in her new pool.

On Friday, we had to take Liv for her 18 month shots. What fun! Olivia definitely remembered her last visit because as soon as Dr. Lee walked in...fun time was over! Poor Dr. Lee didn't even have to look at Olivia to make her scream, and when she finally gave her the shots...the lollipop was not good enough for Olivia to make nice. Amber was thrilled to see her little sis getting some pokes since she was in the clear. Doc says Liv is toooo skinny. I pretty much expected it since Amber went through the same thing at this age. We had to feed Amber fatty foods...well not junk foods...healthy, fatty foods. So...same deal with Liv. We have to get some weight on her before her next appointment or it's off to a Dietitian for her. She grew in height...just not weight...well I think she might have gained 1 pound at the most. So..teeny little Livie has got to eat, eat, eat and that's not always an easy task.

Sorry I have no new pictures to show...but Amber is very excited about a pool that's going up in the back yard tomorrow...so I'm sure we'll have some pictures from her "Beach Day" at home. I can only imagine what Liv will be up to in the new pool. Olivia thinks she is a BIG KID. Nothing stops her when she has her mind set on something. On the playground she climbs absolutely everything. It's terribly frightening. Sometimes I don't know how her little legs climb those BIG KID ladders. But she is one determined little girl...I'm sure she will be swimming like a fish in no time. Check for new pictures soon. (Check out the new quote from Amber)

Fun at the Farm

Sleeping in the swing again. It looks likes John is holding Olivia there...but she had just woken up from her nap...and wasn't quite ready to wake up because she plopped herself down on John and was snoring in seconds.

Just trying on some monstrous shoes...she was actually able to walk in them.

Here you can see Amber is just teaching Olivia how to drive. They start young on the farm! Olivia's got quite a serious driving face....she must be concentrating really hard.

Good Times

Let me take the photos mom!

Liv's ready to cut the grass

Amber's brand new skipping rope all the way from Paris, France! Thank - you Uncle Shane and Auntie Kim!! Amber is very curious to know how you knew that she needed a skipping rope. What a perfect gift!
