Strawberry Pick'n and the farm...

My Mom's Club took a trip to Warbington Farms today. We had fun until the meltdowns and overheating started!!! But here are a few pics from before the craziness!

Olivia and I on the wagon ride out to feed the cows. 

 I must say...this was the best part of the day!

 Ms. Amanda and Emily joined us and the girls loved seeing the cows!

 What farm visit would be complete without a little bouncy house fun?!?!?

 Story time..do you think the girls listened to it??

 Emily would have but Olivia pulled her away to plot their escape!

 On the run!

 Feeding the goats...see the red face and sweat? Breakdown coming...

After getting into a little trouble...calm enough for a little picnic with her friend.

All in all it was fun...nap time here we come!

Memorial Day 2013

Olivia's Poppa worked very hard on a special project memorial for the Atlanta History Center for the past couple of years. This Memorial Day was the dedication and ceremony for this project. 

Max, Olivia, Mimi, and I went downtown to support Poppa and observe this amazing service!

 Shy? Now? Of course she is!

 It was a beautiful (but warm) day downtown! 

 Love her in this dress!

 Poppa introducing the keynote speaker Lt. Col. Lester.

 You can tell by her face...she is VERY proud of her Poppa!

Olivia at 2 1/2 years...

It's an understatement to say Olivia has developed at break-neck speed these past 6 months! She is fully potty trained (although public restrooms still scare her), she speaks in full sentences, can say her ABC's, count to 10 (if she really wants to!), loves to sing and dance, is really into pretend play, has a few select toys she has to carry with her from room to room and in the car, loves to watch Disney Princess movies like Cinderella and The Little Mermaid (we finally moved on from the Lion King whew!), loves to snuggle in our big bed (which Max and I absolutely LOVE!), and if she could live at the park (or outside in general) she would!

We are truly amazed every day at her ability to retain information, her sweet heart, compassion, and the laugh that makes our world get brighter! Mommy and Daddy love you Olivia Grace!

Here are a few pics from the last two months...
