Playing with dolls.....

You use bigger words that I do...

You are playing with your princess dolls and I hear: "Here's the cake for the celebration."

Dropped the cake so you said "frustration."

-----------------------------------------------------

Later, you got sad and you said to me, "say, poor Olivia."

Then, a little while later, "they are being rude again" speaking of how Mozart and Maggie were actually being quiet outside.

You make me laugh,
mommy

Right from the start you were a thief you stole my heart

Sunday afternoon we brought pizza down to Nan and Pap's house. You love playing outside and sitting in the "white chairs" outside on the porch. You get very sad when it is time to leave. But we will be back tomorrow!

 After going to Nan and Paps house Monday morning- so mommy could get a haircut - we took our nice, long naps. After dinner we went to the park to play. The weather this week is GORGEOUS! A little boy hit you for absolutely no reason. You were upset and said "He hit me." I told you to use your words and say "Don't touch me." You did..... daddy said that's why you'll be getting a black belt in karate....

Then we stopped at Target to get a couple last minute items for our trip!! 5 days! Tonight - hopefully- is Snow White movie night. I'm excited for this one!!

lots of love,
mommy

Days are long.... and fun.

Saturday morning was spent at camp! You love to play with your cousin Ben. You ran around, kicked a beach ball and played on the golf cart.

 After nap we headed over to Dutch Wonderland. We had a wonderful afternoon riding rides. You got to meet Merlin at his restaurant. We also got to watch the special 50th Birthday Party show with Duke and Princess Brooke!

After nap, this afternoon, we are going over to Nan and Pap's for dinner. You love playing with Nan and Paps- especially outside. You love to swing and push you baby around in her stroller.

Loves,
mommy

Disney Movie Night: Finding Nemo

Tonight we watched "Finding Nemo" and wore our scuba gear! For dinner we had octopus hot dogs and fish mac n cheese. We made paper plate fish and had ocean jello with swedish fish for dessert.

I guess this makes me a soccer mom....

Disney Movie Night: The Incredibles

Our countdown reads 11 days and tonight was The Incredibles! We ate BBQ HERO sandwiches, GAMMA green beans, and POWER pineapples. For dessert we had JACKJACK jello. Then we dressed up like SUPERHEROES! to watch the movie. You really liked this movie- and clapped when it was over!

mommy

Hershey Park Happy!

Tuesday morning we did our usual Gymboree and Library fun. Daddy got home early so we went to Hershey Park!

Riding rides took a little more bravery from you this time around due to that unfortunate event at  Dutch Wonderland last week and mommy going against her gut to let you get on the Whip.... (they stopped the ride for you, we left the park and mommy was in tears) but it turned out to be a wonderful evening. We got to do quite a lot in the few hours we were there!

Today we are going to play with Nan, a little preDisney shopping, then lunch with Miss Shanda, Miss Randi, Jessyn and Joselyn!

xoxo,
mommy

Disney Movie Night: Aladdin

For our second Disney Movie Night we watched Aladdin!

For dinner we had soup and SANDwiches. Outside, we made some sand art- just putting glue on construction paper and using our hands to add sand. For dessert we had "Genie Juice" which was just a slushie with blue gatorade. And of course, you can't watch Aladdin without your Abu hats! 

Disney Movie Night: Lady and the Tramp

So- for the final 2 week countdown we are doing Disney Movie Family Nights- if we are home.
Last night was our first one and it was Lady and the Tramp.

For dinner we ate Spaghetti and Meatballs, we made a Spaghetti and Meatball plate with yarn and pompoms, we made puppy hats and ate graham cracker "dog bones" for dessert!

Quotes by O- part 1

july 18:
O walked over and stepped on a little bug while we were waiting to get her prescription. I asked her why she killed the bug and her reply was: "He was rude."

july 17:
O: Mommy and Daddy! (looking at a wedding picture)
Me: That's the day mommy and daddy got married!
O: You have to wear costumes?
Me: When people get married they dressup in wedding dresses and tuxedos.
O: That looks like fun!

july 16:
O: I'm so so soooooo so so so so sooooooooooo hungry.
Me: So you're a little hungry, huh?
O: No, I am BIG hungry!

It's been awhile.... summer 2013!

Guess I am not very good at keeping this thing up to date. Summer has been a lot of fun so far. Somedays I wish it wasn't- it makes it THAT much harder to go back to work.

We went to Myrtle Beach June 29- July 6. Aunt Kara, Aunt Kimmy, Aunt KiiKii, Uncle Kenny, Uncle Alex and Mr. Dakota came too. We had lots of fun sitting in the sand, playing in the ocean and swimming in the pool. Your favorite was definitely the sand. You played with your Mickey set and made pools for them. We also want to WonderWorks, Margaritaville, Dicks Last Resort, and mini golfing. The drive was long but you had Aunt KiiKii to sit next to.

We got a season pass to Dutch Wonderland. You love Princess Brooke and Dukie (Duke). Your favorite ride is the Panda and you love the slides at the water part.

 

 

 

Mommy ran her 1st 5K with Daddy and some of your aunts and uncles in June. Maybe someday soon you'll do the kids fun runs.

We also have been going to Gymboree classes. You have pretended to go grocery shopping, play baseball and played with dinosaurs! It's been awesome to watch your enjoyment.

You started soccer in June too. I can't decide if you like it or not. Maybe the hot weather makes it hard to play the whole 30 minutes. However, you look super cute in you pink striped socks!

I took you to the doctors on Thursday. You were running 103.6 temperature and kept saying "My mouth hurts. " You weren't eating at all, well it turns out you got strep.  Another round of antibiotics for you. Thank goodness you are taking your medicine with no problems this time around.

12 days until Disney World! We start our family movie nights tonight! I can't wait!
All my love,
mommy
