Bobby Graduated!!

Bobby graduated from MSU on Friday!! Woo hoo!!!

5K

Olivia and I went to Bella Vista to see Charlie and Tanya run a 5K, and to let Bobby study for finals (without distractions). It was Charlie's first 5K, and he did great - we were so proud of him!! Olivia got into cheering for everyone as they ran to the finish line.
We had a great time hanging out, and Olivia loves playing with her cousins! I couldn't resist posting at least one of these cute pictures. Tanya, just let me know if you would like copies! ;)

Easter Dress

If there was a 'best dressed' award for Easter, I think Olivia would have won!! Unfortunately, when we got home from church around 6 PM, Olivia was tired and hungry...so she was quite wiggly.

Standing Up!!

Olivia learned how to push herself into a sitting position. It was only about another day later that she started pulling herself up...and hasn't stopped since. She is now all over the place!!

Buddha belly

We often joke about Olivia's 'Buddha belly' and rub it for luck!
She is actually a little skinny bean, but if you catch her right after a big meal she can be quite round!

Walk at Nana's

Olivia and I spent a weekend in Nevada a few weeks ago in order to let Bobby study. We went on a nice walk one afternoon with Nana.

Bouncy Seat

One day last month Olivia started climbing into her bouncy seat. She was so persistent about trying to get into it that I finally buckled her into it. I expected it to last 5 minutes tops, but she ended up staying in it for about an hour! She bounced herself, played a little bit and even sang to herself.
Eventually she started sucking her thumb, so I put her down for a nap. It was a peaceful afternoon!!
