Monday..August 23..Olivia's First Day of School

Olivia started 1st grade yesterday. Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I was taking her for her first day of preschool. Every year I shed a few tears as I am reminded of her getting older and moving forward to the next phase. This year was no different especially since she will be gone full-time. But she was more than ready and was excited to be in class with a couple of her good friends and to have Mr. Beining as her teacher.

Olivia's first soccer game

So Olivia is playing her first season of soccer this fall and Curt is the assistant coach for her team. Saturday was her first game and of course....it was pouring down rain! But the girls enjoyed themselves anyway and played really well. Neither Curt nor I have ever played soccer so we are all kind've learning the game together!

Olivia lost her 1st tooth...on May 1st!

Celebrating Ava!

May 10, 2010...Happy Birthday Ava!!

Today Ava turned 4 years old. It's hard to believe that she is not a toddler anymore. She has been waiting for weeks for her big day to arrive..especially since Olivia's birthday. Ava still loves piggies..so that was the theme of the day. She was the big star and loved every minute of it.

The Woods

The girls have been enjoying outings to the woods with Curt. They love to dig for worms and also have been put to work by their dad picking up sticks.

Celebrating Olivia!!

Sweet Olivia...how the years have gone by. You are such a fiesty, smart and witty young lady with a big heart and a lot of personality! You have brought so much spunk and fun to our family and we love you so much!
