March and April Updates


Hello there.

So much has happened since my last post, but I will try to keep this short and sweet since I know the majority of you just want to look at my pictures.

On March 1st Oliver was chewing away on his Valentine's gift from mama, an elk antler.  I decided to get down and check it out and Oliver wasn't so happy.  Needless to say, we made a trip to the emergency room and I got my first, and hopefully only, suture.  Oliver now only gets to chew on his special antler after I go to sleep for the night.

The weather is finally getting nicer around here and we have been doing lots of fun things outside.  We went on our first bike ride, have been taking multiple wagon rides, backpack walks, and some jogging stroller rides.   I got a water play pirate ship for Easter and love to play with it as often as I can.  We have also been blowing bubbles and playing t-ball with the set Grandma Susie got me for Christmas.

Grandpa Steve made a visit a couple of weeks ago and stayed with us.  We had so much fun, I was very sad when he went back to Iowa.  We went to Roswell and stayed with Aunt Shelley and family for Aunt Lisette's 40th birthday and Easter.  I had so much fun dying and hunting Easter eggs with my cousins Finley, Harper, Teddy, and Leo.  We also had tons of fun playing with all the bubbles Grandma Susie got us for Easter, thank you, Grandma Susie! Mama and I actually got to jump on the trampoline this time - every other visit we have made has been rainy weather.

My Dad came for a visit and we went to the Zoo.  We had so much fun looking at all of the animals and swinging on the swings in the play area.  We also went to the hair salon - I now have a big boy haircut!

Here are some pictures and videos over the past couple of months:

Happy Birthday to me!

Greetings all!  February was a great month!

Grandpa came to visit and we traveled to Atlanta for my cousin, Finley's, 5th birthday.  She had a pony party at the dance studio and we had so much fun dancing and running around.  I loved playing with all of my cousins!

Grandpa stayed with us all week and we had a safari themed birthday party for me on the 22nd, I turned 2! We enjoyed pizza and snacks and played pin the nose on the lion.  I got tons of great presents, but my balloons were my favorite.  I sang "Happy Birthday To You" and all of my Atlanta family came to celebrate, with the exception of Uncle Matt.  My cake was actually cupcakes with safari animals and palm trees!  I loved making a wish and blowing out my candle.  After the party was over we went to the hotel and swam in the pool.  It was such a fun filled day!  Thank you to all for sending me gifts and making the drive to celebrate my special day!

Enjoy the pictures and videos!
