Ollie Turns 2

It's amazing how fast time flies!

This precious baby, Ollie Pearl, was born 2 years ago.

This is us on the day she was born.

And us on her 1st birthday.

And us now.

She brings so much joy, love and laughs to my life!!!

I am definitely a proud aunt :)

Here is the pretty princess on her 2nd birthday.

She opened her presents with the most excitement I have ever seen out of a child.

She would say,

"WOW!" and

"Oh Gosh!"

Row's like, "whatev..."

Splash Time

Easter

We had a great 1st Easter. On Palm Sunday, our church had it's Easter egg hunt.

Row couldn't do much, but he did enjoy watching.

The little kids weren't as patient as the bigger kids :)

Lacey and Laura

Ollie

These pictures were taken on Easter Sunday.

I couldn't get a good picture of him, but here is his adorable outfit his Aunt Lynney got him.

SpRiNg BrEaK 2011

Mom, Lynsey, Leanne, Ollie, Row and I loaded up in my car and went to the beach.

Yes.... that's 4 adults and two children in my mid-sized SUV.

With this story, it was such a coincidence when a reporter interviewed us at the beach the next day and asked if gas prices had an effect on our trip.

Yes........ yes it did :)

And we made the paper!!

We stayed at my parents condo for 2 nights.

We went to the beach, pool and bay.

And of course, took lots of pictures!

We had a blast!!

I can't wait for another trip!
