Smile Olivia!

This afternoon Olivia and I went outside and she played with her sand table while I read a book. She put her sunglasses on and she looked so cute I had to take some pictures. I told her to smile and all I got was "cheese." I wish she would learn to smile without cheesing. Oh well. The pictures are cute anyway!!!

When she saw the pictures of herself she said, "I was cheesing". No kidding!

Birthday Party

Today we went to one of Olivia's classmate birthday party at her gymnastics place. Olivia had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline practically the entire time. Enjoy the pictures. I will post again tomorrow her Easter pictures.

And yes... we did get Olivia's haircut today.

Waiting for the parade to begin!

Olivia and packed up once again and went to my Mom's house this past Friday along with my nephews. We went because of my hometown's annual Heritage Festival. I love going mostly because of the food but I normally see people I went to school with or people I haven't seen in forever. They have carnival rides, carnival games, trade show and a parade. It is a lot of fun and I remember going every year growing up. Good times!!
Olivia only rode two rides. She rode the carousel and then the "bee" ride. She told me she didn't want to ride the "bees" but I made her and when the ride was over she said, "Mommy that was fun!" Mommy knows best.
I came home yesterday while she and my nephew Joel stayed. It is their Spring Break and mommy and daddy's break. Of course I miss her already but I am enjoying my time.

I can make thumbs!

Every Saturday Peter goes to the bakery to buy bread for the Sunday morning 8:30 communion service. So we all go to the bakery and once the bread was purchased Olivia had to hold the bread. So on the way home she keeps saying, "I can make thumbs.... I can make thumbs." We have no idea why she is saying this and don't look back at her. When we get home and settled Peter comes to me and tells me he knows now why she was saying "I can make thumbs." Check out the picture below.

I got a new job!!

I am very excited about my new job because it is at a high-end boutique here in Houston called Dimensions. I will be the bookkeeper. When I walked into the boutique for the interview I knew I was in trouble because the clothes are gorgeous. Of course I might be able to buy one thing every 4 or 5 months. I will get a discount but right now I am not sure how much.

The reason for leaving my current job (which I do enjoy) of course is money. I will be making more money but working less. My new boss did say that once I get the hang of things he will add more responsibilities like a some HR and to set up a new accounting program. Once I start the job I will be able to take Olivia to school everyday because the store doesn't open until 10:00 and I will probably have either one or two days off per week. It will take a little longer than my 3 minute commute but not much longer.

I am very excited and I will be staring on March 18th. Check out their new website. http://www.dimensions6100.com/

Olivia & Zoe

We spent Friday evening and Sunday evening with the Saksons this past weekend. Zoe and Olivia always have a great time together but will occasionally fight. Sherri and I said since we are not going to adopt anymore children Olivia and Zoe will be sisters. Trust me they fight like sisters sometimes but they are also very sweet with each other. They will hug and sometimes kiss when they see each other or leave each other.
