Grammie and Grandpa took the entire family to see Toy Story on Ice and the girls loved it!
They were totally hooked!
Especially Lilly. This is her first time as she did not go with us last year to Disney Princess on Ice.
The little green men were hysterical!
Thank you Grandpa!
Thank you Grammie!
The popcorn was a big hit! I just wish we hadn't forgotten her enzymes. Two hours later, we were reminded why she needs to take them - the food goes STRAIGHT through her, poor thing!
Uncle Matthew, Aunt Holly, and Cooper
A few more little green men...
Don't you just love this look of pure delight?! So sweet!
Spring also means that the Mighty Pumas are back in action! Olivia scored her first goal this year at the first game - and didn't score another one the rest of the season. Oh well - we were so proud and so was Olivia!
Watching the game with Nanny!
Such intense concentration...
Huddling!
Running through the tunnel - because that is why Olivia really plays soccer!
A trophy and a medal for a season well played!
Go Pumas!
My little soccer star after her first goal!
Lilly can't wait until she is a Puma - she likes being a spectator but would much rather play!
I love these girls!
Whose birthday is it? Olivia's!
I can't believe this, but my baby turned 5 years old on April 30th - where does the time go? I just can't believe I am the mother of a 5 year old - and such a wonderful 5 year old! Olivia is funny, kind, thoughtful, smart, and one of the best kids around (of course, I am biased, but I think it is true!) Just a little birthday update on the newly 5 year old:
Olivia weighs 42 lb and 8 oz and is in the 80th percentile in weight.
She is 43 inches tall and in the 70th percentile in height
Olivia can write her full name, knows her address, and her phone number. She knows all her colors, shapes, and can count to 20 as well as count backwards. She is starting to sound out words to learn to spell and learn how to print upper and lower case letters of the alphabet. She also can recite the months of the year, the days of the week and the seasons.
Her favorite color is blue (although it can change often). She would rather wear tshirts and underwear than anything else - the girl doesn't care for pants!
Olivia loves American Girl dolls, her stuff dog Sheppy, Transformers, superheroes of any kind, swimming, playing golf and soccer, and watching an eclectic mix of cartoons like Doc McStuffins, Calliou, and Sonic Underground
For her birthday this year we had a superhero themed birthday party and what a hit! My little tomboy would settle for nothing less!
Here she is wearing her Batman shirt to school and cheesing it for the camera!
Liv's birthday party was at Kids Place and all the kids dressed as their favorite superheroes. Olivia was Spiderman and Lilly was "Supergirl!" Here they are striking their superhero poses before the party!
So excited to be celebrating with Grammie and Grandpa!
A few pictures of the adorable decorations...
Yes, I know - those cupcakes are scary, particularly the evil one (whatever his name is) - of course, those were the ones that Olivia wanted, not the cute yellow, blue and red cupcakes with cupcake toppers that I picked out! Either way, the cupcakes were delicious!
Here are a few pictures of our other superheroes - this is Anna Claire, aka Batgirl!
A Spiderman imposter!
Thor (Lila Brooke) and Supergirl (Caroline)!
Wonderwoman and Kaitlyn the Great (aren't the homemade costumes fantastic? Bravo to their moms and a big apology if my idea of costumes created any stress - sorry!)
Olivia with Anderson and Lorelei
Sitting in her throne and blowing out her birthday candles... after several tries. Five candles is kinda rough for the old woman, huh?
Lilly aka the "Joker" - how appropriate! Clearly, the cupcakes were a hit!
Opening her birthday presents...
Her second American Girl doll - Rebecca - from Nanny and Papaw. Spoiled, maybe?
Playing the games and winning tokens with Grandpa...
Thank goodness for Abbey, who chased Lilly around the playground! We couldn't have done it without her!
Super girl or wild woman? Maybe a little of both!
Maybe the better name is Madwoman! Here she is playing with her friend Lola!
Grammie having a little cuddle time with Ollie - watch out Katie, in a couple of years he will be chasing these girls everywhere!
Lilly showing everyone who is the boss with Liv's new hulk fists!
Have you ever seen such an eclectic mix of toys for a 5 year old? Olivia received a monster truck, hulk fists, an American Girl doll, jewelry, and a knitting set to same a few items. I can't help but laugh - this mixture is SO my Olivia!
