Happy Birthday, Olivia!

Happy 4th Birthday, Olivia!  She woke up to balloons in her room

followed by an Olaf cupcake for breakfast.

She opened a few presents before we got ready for church:

After church, we went to Red Robin for lunch, where she had the biggest piece of cake I've ever seen!  We came home, changed clothes, and went to the pool.  That's where we spent the rest of the day.

We love this little girl so incredibly much!  We are so proud of the sweet, kind, smart, and funny girl that she is!

Soccer Shots

Today was the last session of Olivia's soccer class.  She really had fun with it, but she wants to take the next session off because "it makes her legs tired".  Haha!

Mother's Day

We had such a nice family day on Mother's Day.  We started the day at church, followed by a picnic and walk around Children's Lake.  It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed a relaxing day together.

Olivia even practiced her photography skills:

It was a great day, even though you can't tell it in our only family photo, haha!

I'm so blessed, to say the least....

Paulus Farm Market

My friend Chelsi has taken a teaching substitute job for the remainder of the school year.  Since Olivia and Liam love being together so much, I volunteered to watch Liam and Ellie one day a week.  (They go to daycare the other days.)  Today, I took the kids to Paulus Farm Market, where we met up with Vanessa, Mason, and Gage.

Exercise

Olivia likes doing exercise videos with me.  Let me tell you... she is a tough coach! She yells at me when I take a quick break or when I'm not doing exactly what the video is doing. After I finished today, she wanted me to record her making her own exercise video.  My phone died before she was finished, but here's what she did:

Knoebels Amusement Park

Jon, Olivia, and I went to opening day at Knoebels Amusement Park this weekend.  It's about 1 1/2 hours north of us, and it was completely worth the trip!  It is and has been America's largest free admission park for 87 years.  You just pay per ride, with no admission or parking fee.  We were there for 5 hours and never slowed down.  Olivia had SOOOO much fun, as did Jon and I.  We can't wait to go back!

It was a PERFECT family day!!!
