Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Rob spent his birthday with 4 pretty ladies this year! (I'm including myself!)

Maggie and Lila

Olivia is telling a story...

Messy babies eating mostaccioli and edamame.

Lila and Maggie are leaving soon for Albuquerque. Their family is moving. They played with us last week while mom and dad showed the house. They've been all playing together almost every day. It's going to be really hard to say goodbye. Their house already sold, so it won't be long now. We now have a great reason to visit Albuquerque in addition to Uncle James Schreiber.

Stroller Strides New Location!!

The Stroller Strides class that we attend opened a new location this week at Bushmaster Park. There was a great raffle and I made a Just Liv Lovey. This is the sweet baby, named Dahlia, who won it.
Raffle prizes. I won a cool water bottle.

Liv and Michaela

I got Elisabeth to come and she ended up winning a grand prize of a free Melissa Dunstan photography session!

Doing our warm-up

Just Liv "Fancy"

Olivia has been into "fancy" things lately. The fluffier, twirlier, prettier the better. I decided to try layering this tulle slip under a Just Liv dress. It was a big hit. I have had requests for them already! I think it will just be a seperate skirt type slip that can go under any of my creations, making them instantly "fancy."

Garage Sale Finds

Modeling her new toys

Olivia's princess "loot"

These are from last week when Olivia and I went garage saleing. One of my MOMS Club friends was having a "princess" sale. Her daughter had outgrown all of her princess stuff. I also picked up this Kelty jogger for $10. I now know that it doesn't have a sun shade, but I still think it was an amazing deal.

Movies On the Square

Looking at the moon
watching the dancers

dancing

A few weeks ago, we went downtown to Movies on the Square. We ran into our old friend Bob and visited with him for a while. He used to live next to us and Ron and Libby when we first moved here. There were belly dancers and lots of music before the movie, which Olivia really enjoyed. The Goonies was showing, but we left just after it started because it was getting dark and cold and Liv was ready for bed.

Olivia the Gardener

Mmmm, cucumber is her favorite
Here's our "budget" seeds from Wal Mart

These were taken a few weeks ago, but I'm behind on posting. Olivia and I wanted to start a garden and plant some flowers so we gave it our best try. We'll see what grows....
