A Pony Ride

Olivia's first pony ride!  We went to the Legends game on Friday night and they provide free pony rides for the kids.  Olivia was completely enthralled with the ponies, but when offered to pet one, she shied away.  Before the night was over, though, she conquered her shyness and ended up riding on the back of one.  It was adorable!

Getting Ready for Football Season...

A toy box full of expensive toys and what does she want to do?  Dig through the trash and play with an empty Diet Coke box.  This box provided over an hour of entertainment!  Who would have thought?

Rocking Chair

She still loves to rock in her rocking chair...

Not A Tomboy Yet...

Olivia loves putting on her lipstick, wearing her bracelet, and getting her purse ready for a night out!  Is she going to be girly or what?

Olivia At 16 Months

I love this picture! She looks so sweet and innocent...

A Bookworm

Isn't that toddler body so svelte!  Olivia has recently discovery the joy of reading and there is nothing that she likes to do better than to sit in your lap with a picture book.  She points to the pictures and you tell her what it is.  Sometimes I quiz her and I am surprised at how quickly she learns.  Her favorite pictures?  Dogs and cats!

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gorant

Kristen and Sam were married on July 5, 2008 and it was a BEAUTIFUL wedding.  They were married at St. Peter Catholic Church (which is where we were married) and the reception was at Keeneland.  The wedding had a very distinct Kentucky theme.  The band, though, was from Ohio and is an Ohio State favorite -- Shuckin' Bubba.  I must say, I have never heard a band that played "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Bringing Sexy Back," "Ice, Ice, Baby" and "Jump Around" all in the same set.  They were incredible!
