Spring Break 2010

Olivia and I headed to S.C. to visit during our break. Our first stop was Columbia. We had a great time visiting our GaGa, GaGa Carter, cousins Hannah, Emilie, Annette, Aunt Jan, and Uncle Kirk!
Olivia had so much fun with Hannah. They played with their dolls and got to go to the park. Hannah isn't walking yet, but as soon as she is, these two will be all over the place. We can't wait to visit longer this summer!!




Sweet Cousins! Aunt Jan bought them matching outfits! They were so cute!!



Playing at the park!


One of Olivia's favorite things to do!

Hannah and Emilie!

Mommy, Livi, and GaGa!

Performing for her GaGa Carter. Olivia sat there and sang all of her songs! She was quite the performer! The cutest part was she kept calling GaGa C "Carter"! So sweet!

I LOVE this picture!!


After a few days in Columbia, we headed down to Beaufort! Olivia had a great time with her cousins Duncan and Grace. We didn't get enough pictures, but Pop got some good ones of the cousins when we all went out to dinner. Here a few of what we did while in Beaufort!

Olivia and I were so excited to finally get out on the water! Rain came in the night before, so it was chillier while we were out cruising. Pop got sandwiches and we had a cruise around Beaufort and a picnic on the boat. As you can see, Olivia was ready roll!


Showing mommy how to drive the boat!


Chillin with Pop Frank on the Miss Fripp!

Sitting with her cousin Grace on "My Time Out." Olivia was so sweet by taking a long nap inside while mommy got to get some sun (a little too much I might add, but I needed it!!). We had a great day relaxing on the boat! Nothing better than the fresh, salty air and sunshine to make you feel great!

Here are the girls getting ready to go to bed.....

Sweet angels......until they started jumping on the bed like little monkeys. Let's just say, they didn't end up sleeping together! I think we will have our hands full when these girls get older!!


Mom was able to come join us for a wedding for one of our friends. Olivia didn't take a nap all day and the wedding was at 2:30. I wasn't sure how she would do. She was great during the service, so that was a relief! She only made a sound when the music stopped by saying, "More!". It was too cute!!
Then once we got to the reception, we got a table next to the dance floor and this was where Olivia spent the rest of the night. Did I mention she never napped (except for 10 minutes in the car on the way to the ceremony)? This little girl was a DANCING QUEEN! She danced the entire night!! She finally slowed down about 8:30, so we headed home. Again, this makes me think that I am going to have my hands full! I sure did enjoy every minute with her though!!
Dancing with David!



Dancing with her GaGa! I will be signing her up for dance classes this summer!!
As you can see, we had a great time over Spring Break. Of course, it wasn't long enough and we didn't get to visit all of our friends. We can't wait for the summer so we can visit some more!! I know that we will have a great time no matter where we are or what we do! Olivia is such a joy and I am so thankful for her! The Lord has blessed me with this wonderful little girl. She is full of life and love! Each day with her brings more joy to my life!!

Easter 2010

After church on Easter Sunday. It was a great service and Olivia was able to join us for the last hymn. She LOVES music!


Let's see what the Easter Bunny brought!

Her goodies!

Mmmmm! She liked her first peep!

Olivia's 2nd Birthday!!

Here is the sweet birthday girl getting ready to head to her party!!

We had her party at the carousel at North Point! A few of Olivia's friends joined her to ride the carousel and have Chick-Fil-A and cake!
