This N That

A couple of weeks ago my brother in law called and asked if I would take his daughter out to lunch. He is working on getting his masters degree and had a few reports to write up. I took Mia and Whitney to the rainbow slide park. Here are a few pictures of them having fun.

Olivia's 1st birthday was on Tuesday. We did a Winnie the Pooh theme. Olivia is always growling and my sister calls her growly bear. I thought it would be cute to have a Winnie the Pooh party. Russ decorated her cake. He always does a great job.

This is one of the only shots I was able to get of Olivia opening her presents without 5 other little kids standing in the way.

Didn't Russ do a good job! I think it is adorable

She wouldn't touch it

Olivia wouldn't smash her cake no matter what we did. She was getting upset with everyone watching her I guess. We had another cake that was an ice cream cake. The second we got that cake out Olivia wanted it. I gave her a slice and she loved it. We always have said that Olivia seems to have grown up tastes. She didn't want to settle for the boring plain cake. Even with the cake she did want to eat she was pretty clean.

Olivia enjoying the good cake:

We went to the zoo on Wednesday. We seem to go to the zoo often but my girls seem to enjoy it, and I like seeing the monkeys.

I liked this shot.

Olivia cracks me up. You ask her to smile at you and this is what you get:

It was pretty warm and so an ice cream cone sounded just right. We all got an ice cream cone except we didn't get one for Olivia. When Olivia saw that we all had an ice cream cone but her she had a fit. My mom ate hers down and then gave Olivia hers. I thought these shots were great of the mess that was made.


Olivia trying to share her ice cream. Yum!

When we got home from the zoo we were all pretty hot. We decided to set up Olivia's swimming pool. Whitney got in right away but Olivia wouldn't have anything to do with the ice cold water. Luckily our neighbors have a hot water tap hooked up in their backyard. As soon as we put the hot water in Olivia wanted to jump right in.

I think Whitneys eyes just light up in this picture:
