Fun in the Sun

Family Fun in Virginia

We enjoyed a great weekend in Williamsburg with all our family. This was the 1st time all 12 of us have been together & we were very excited. Olivia met her cousins Ayden & Ashley & enjoyed playing with them. She's so thankful there is another girl!!!! Grandma & Grandpa spoiled her & she loved every minute of it. Everyone's been saying she looks more & more like Grandpa- well, it has been confirmed for sure! They could pass as twins- just too (two rather!!) cute!

Ayden & Ashley helped me change Olivia's diaper & Ayden says, "OH, she really is a girl!" It was so cute! He then backed away & told me to let him know when I was done! Love the things kids say!

It was so good to all be together, play with all the kids, & enjoy some family fun. Miss you all & hope to see you soon.

All the family fun can be found in our July pics. (click underlined link)

6 months old!

I can hardly believe Olivia is 6 months old already- time flies! She is growing so fast & doing so well. We are blessed with a sweet baby girl! She is very happy & lots of fun. She's trying her best to learn to crawl & has 2 budding teeth working their way through. She weighed in right at 17 pounds (75%) and is 27.5 inches long (97%). She's going to be tall! She is such a joy & we are so blessed!

We're also celebrating the birth of Eva Claire today! Jaime & I have been friends since preschool & are very excited about our girls growing up together. They're exactly 6 months apart.


Happy BIRTHday Eva & Happy 1/2 birthday Olivia!

Olivia & Great Grandma

We had a great visit with Great Grandma! We picked her up from the airport & she was all smiles when she met Olivia! They hung out in their PJs in the morning & watched baseball together at night! We had a great visit with her & we're so glad she had some special time with Olivia. We miss her already & can't wait for her next visit. We've loaded her up with pictures to show off all her great grandkids to her friends at Shell Point- she is so proud!

Grandma Plume arrives

She arrives today from Fla....posting pictures when we get a chance...

Play Date!

So blessed to have so many friends for Olivia to grow up with. We had a Garner c/o '97 play date & I am not sure who had more fun- the babies or the mommies! We did get a group photo of the class of 2028! Big brother Cayden (left- will be c/o 2027), Jenson, Blake, Olivia, & little brother Linden will all follow in the class of 2028- crazy huh! A few other friends couldn't make it, but we are looking forward to the entire group getting together again soon. We all grew up together & now we get to see our kids grow up together- lots of fun!

Blake & Olivia have a special bond- they are the only girls until Eva joins in very soon! But most of all they are both trying VERY hard to grow some hair! How did these boys get all the hair???!

July 4th

We had a great July 4th weekend! We celebrated for 3 days! We spent Friday night with our small group building & decorating our trailer for the 4th parade, had a pool party, & enjoyed some great treats & fellowship. Saturday we were part of the Cleveland 4th parade promoting VBS. Our covered wagon float won 2nd place overall! The kids threw candy, the adults passed out VBS flyers wrapped in Silly Bands, & Amber & I strolled the babies in our decorated strollers- lots of fun! I saw lots of WV students & teachers which always makes me smile! We went home & rested up for a Shrimp Boil cookout & back to Cleveland for fireworks with our group.

Olivia loved the fireworks! Her eyes got VERY big when they first started going off, but she watched in amazement. We tried to capture her face, but the pictures just didn't do it justice. She was a trooper & stayed up past bedtime & was a happy girl! As soon as we got in the car she was out! Sunday we had some friends over for a cookout & Olivia & Luke enjoyed some bonding time. Luke was having so much fun he didn't want to go home. He cried & Olivia decided to help him out & tuned up too- it was cute! We are in for it with these 2 growing up as buddies!

Her 1st 4th of July was lots of fun! Thanks for a great weekend!

Happy 4th of July!
