Olivia's First Haircut

Okay, so I know that Olivia is 18 months old and should have had her first haircut by now. I also realize that she had a full on mullet going on. But I just couldn't cut her hair yet. I could put it in any ponytail/braid combo and it was adorable. But I finally came the realization that it was time.

Here is a picture of the back of her mullet just before we cut it off.

Olivia enjoying the attention and her sucker.The after pose.

Olivia with her cute little bob.

Addie wanted in on the action too and we cut 5 inches off of her hair. It was so long!

Random Addie Pictures

I have some of the most random pictures of Addie because she loves to pose for the camera. And some of these poses are a little crazy! She is usually balancing on one foot while trying to look cute for the camera. Here are a few. . .

This is Addie playing the Wii Fit. She likes doing the yoga poses and she's actually pretty good at it. It's hilarious to watch her balance like the tree.

Addis is obsessed with rollers right now. She thinks she looks so beautiful when her hair is curled and she asks for rollers every night.

And of course I had to throw in a picture of my sweet Olivia. She loves her food. What can I say? She takes after her mom! I want to eat my cake like that too.

Happy Birthday Olivia

My baby is 1. How does this happen? She has been so much fun that the time has flown by like crazy. I have enjoyed every second of my little Olivia. She is such a great baby who is fun with a little fiesty-ness. She's my kind of girl. And I love her beautiful blue eyes. My girls couldn't look more different from each other. I'll have to do another posts of all of her firsts throughout this last year. But I wanted to get a few pictures up. We had a fun party for Olivia yesterday - BBQ, cake and ice cream, a pinata, and 80 degree weather. Does it get any better than this? I don't think so.

Happy 6 Months Olivia!

I can't believe my sweet baby Olivia is already 6 months old. We have had so much fun with her and I'm trying to figure out what happened to my "little" baby. She can now roll over, giggle, eat cereal and loves to play with toys (especially her exersaucer). I thought I'd share this sweet video of her laughing. Don't mind Addie in the video wanting equal time. She is a great big sister and loves Olivia but she still wants ALL of the attention. :)

A Visit From Our Favorite Heather

Okay, so I hope I don't know any other Heather's who are going to send me hate mail but we did have a visit from our favorite Heather - just ask Addie. She told me the whole time we were driving to and from meeting Heather "Mom, Heather's my favorite!" And she is. We were so excited that she and Mike were so close to Erie and that she was willing to come and see us. So thanks Heather. It was so fun to see you. I'll still keep my fingers crossed that you might live close by us next year. We would love that!

And what's another post without a picture of Olivia and Addie. I bought this cute little outfit for Olivia when I was shopping with Heather. I think she looks so cute!

Last Saturday, Sister Beck came and spoke in Pittsburgh. I got to leave the girls with Nick and have a girls day out with some friends from the ward. Nick was so excited that he could stay home and that the University of Utah game was on TV. I came home to this picture and Addie now yelling Go Utes! I'm trying to train her back to Go Cougars! Thanks to Grandma CoCo, who didn't want to ruffle any feathers with Nick, she is fully stocked with Utah and BYU gear.

Random Pictures

I thought I'd post some more random pictures of our girls. They are so much fun and keep us laughing all the time.

Olivia still has her big blue eyes. Maybe I might end up with a blue eyed girl. Her hair is also so much lighter than Addie's was at this age. She is getting so strong and can roll from her back to front now. How is she getting so big already?!

Okay, so another scary picture of Addie. What can I say - she's a girl and she likes to pose. She got a new outfit (which she'll tell you is from Old Navy if you ask her) and she wanted a picture specifically for her Aunt Kristin. Sorry - Aunt Kristin is the favorite right now since she's coming to see us.Olivia experienced her first bath with her big sister. I'm not sure if she'll ever be the same. Addie has a blast - Olivia wasn't sure what to think. At least she didn't cry.

Addie was so excited to wear her cheerleading outfit. Some of our friends had us over for the BYU football game. She looked so cute.

Okay, so this is Addie's new obsession lately. She has to bring down all of her stuffed animals and line them up on the couch and asks me to take a picture. It honestly happens a couple times a day.And then she'll grab whatever she can to make a "train" across the floor in the front room. If you look closely, you can see the phone, wipes and even Olivia's toys make up the train. It is the weirdest thing but it makes her happy.

My Girls

Addie and Olivia have become so cute together. Olivia just lights up when Addie walks into the room. And Addie keeps us all entertained. Life is a party to her. It's all about having fun. I thought I'd post some pictures of both of them. Olivia is just getting too big too fast.

This is my sweet little Olivia just a few weeks ago.

This is Olivia just a few days ago. She is getting so chunky and so smiley. We just love her cute personality. We even get quite a few giggles from her already.Addie loves to sit and entertain Olivia. Olivia is already braving the bumbo chair. After a little while in it though her neck starts to get a little tired and she starts doing the roll on deodorant dance.
I tried to take pictures of the two of them wearing the same outfits (courtesy of Aunt Sheri) but decided it wasn't a good idea after Addie dropped Olivia on our front steps. Oops!
This couch is a much safer place to set them side by side. :)

Addie has become quite the fashion designer lately. Every day when I go in to get her from her nap/quiet time, I'm always curious to see what she's going to be wearing. I was a little nervous when I saw this the other day - it is the skirt to her Sleeping Beauty dress up but she had it hiked up with the sleeping beauty high heels. Am I in trouble or what?!

Our Sweet Little Olivia

We have been so busy since having Olivia that sometimes I forget that I have two kids. Even though she doesn't look like it in this picture, she is such a good content baby that she doesn't help to remind me that she's here either.

She has become so smiley recently and really recognizes her sister Addie. Although I don't know who wouldn't recognize the girl that is literally in your face 24/7 (it really is cute). But she seems to love every second of it. And I love that Addie is happy to be a big sister. She is a great helper.
