Easter 2009






Our weekend has been filled with easter egg hunts...by the time we got to the big one today...these girls were EXPERTS! Plus, today, they got candy...so Olivia took control and split it "appropriately!"






Are these dresses not the sweetest thing? My sister passed them down after her girls wore them in a wedding when they were the same ages. We were all in white today to celebrate Easter. We are so grateful for each other and for our Savior!!

Back to SC!

Well, we made our journey across the country to see my family...just Olivia, Gabi and me...oh, fun, fun! 8 hours traveling with 2 children 3 and under! It was all worth it because the girls had a total blast with their cousins.

Gabi learned everyone's names so quickly and all the older cousins took control and basically made my life EASY! The girls just loved them and Olivia and her cousin Emily just kept hugging eachother...it was precious!




Olivia's favorite food is now grits. She asks for it for every meal then Granny taught her to say..."I love grits, I'm just a southern girl!" I'm just happy to find something she will eat!

80 and Sunny!!

Okay, okay...who doesn't love 80 degrees and sunny in April? We had fun today taking a long walk in between conference sessions and then laying out and jumping on the tramp with the sprinklers on!

The girls had a blast! I think I may have gotten some sun on this pasty white skin!






Our new name for Olivia is "The Gabi Whisperer." Honestly, she can get Gabi to do anything she wants. For example, Gabi refuses to get dressed....Olivia pulls her aside and has a little talk with her...next thing you know, she is asking to get dressed. HILARIOUS! Hey...you need Gabi to eat her veggies??? Just call in the reinforcements..."OLIVIA....."

...Now if we could only find and "Olivia Whisperer" we'd be all set!
