March of Dimes March for Babies

Olivia with the mascot. A "cat-ish" sort of animal.

Olivia and I walked at Buffalo Park on Saturday. We didn't raise money this year, but we still walked with our Stroller Strides group. We lead the pre-walk warm up and then walked 4miles in the WIND!! Crazy!

Rock Wall!!!






Olivia finally got to try climbing the walk wall this week at the Aquaplex. She was so excited but wasn't quite sure about the gear she had to strap on. She tried though and enjoyed swinging on the rope more than anything.

Playtime


Lila, Maggie and Olivia were all playing in the cottage last night and I snapped this picture.They sure love playing together!




Bike riding is more fun in warm weather! We went to Ron and Libby's for a few days so Rob could do some projects for them. Olivia and I got to enjoy the warm weather and the mall!!

Coloring Easter Eggs



I tried to make some cute flower hairclips for Olivia's Easter basket.
Easter Eggs!!


Yesterday, Olivia and I stayed in all day and colored eggs, baked cookies and did crafts. It was nice after being so busy with all kinds of activities lately. Notice Olivia's eye. A few nights ago, she woke up screaming saying she hit it on the wall. We can't figure out exactly what she did, but her bed is FULL of pillows and blankets since then so it can't happen again!

Happy Easter!!

Virtual Shopping on Etsy


I love Etsy. Everything is handmade, a lot by stay home moms. I love this cute spring outfit and these hairclips are too cute!

Matilda Jane


Thanks to Aubrey, I've discovered a new clothing line to drool over. It's www.matildajane.com and this is my favorite outfit. Now I just need to sew it! I will make something like this for Liv, mark my words!!

Pre-Level 1 Swimming Lesson

Sitting next to her teacher



Olivia had her first "real" swimming lesson (not a parent-tot class) tonite. She was a little apprehensive about getting in the "deep" water with her teacher but I think she'll do ok. She practiced blowing bubbles in the baby pool after her lesson. I can't say enough good things about the Aquaplex! The pool and the instructors are great!

Favorite DVD


Here Comes Peter Cottontail is Olivia's favorite DVD right now. We got it from the library and she loves to sing the song. It's almost Easter!!! Yay!!

Birthday Party Weekend!


As usual, Tami's cakes were great!


Alex

Liv and Kendall in the bounce house. So much fun!
Happy Birthday Sydney!
This past weekend we went to Isaac's birthday party and Sydney's. Olivia had a great time at both. These are from Syd's Dora party on Sunday.
