My sweet baby is growing up

My little girls is growing up and there is nothing I can do to keep her at this age. Olivia just had her 10th birthday and I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I still remember when we found out I was pregnant with her and being so excited and happy, that just the thought of having her would bring me to tears.

Olivia is such a joy to have around, she is so full of life and energy and so sweet to everyone, that is the one trait I admire most in her, is her ability to love those around her. She is the oldest and my right hand, I expect a lot of her and she is almost always willing to help out. How lucky are Halle and Addison to have such a wonderful big sister, all the knowledge she will be able to pass down.
We are so happy to be your parents and there isn't enough words that can explain just how proud you make us everyday and how much we love you. I hope that we will always be friends and talk about everything. I love being your mom and can't wait to see what the future has in stored for you, your future is bright and full of possibilities. Keep smiling and being your sweet self and there is nothing that can slow down.

Thank you for being part of our family we truly are so blessed to able to share this life with you. We love you so so much!!!

Lagoon


We decided to get season passes to Lagoon. We figured the kids were a little older and they would really enjoy it this year. Jeff stayed with Olivia, Cade and The Coopers and The Johnston's, they bought season passes too. And I hung out with Halle and Addison. We had a great time!




This has to be my favorite picture of all time. Halle wanted to go in the House of Terror.



This is all the kids on Water Snake Rapids, the adults just watched, we didn't feel like getting wet and with such a big group the kids were fine.


Addison loves to help out.
