Kendra's Work Christmas Party

This past weekend Olivia and I went to my work Christmas party.  Unfortunately, Rob wasn't able to make it because he had to work.

Olivia did really good with Santa.  She couldn't stop staring at him.  

When I went up to go and get Olivia, Santa told me to "go and grab yourself a bite to eat and come and pick her up later".  He wanted to keep her because she was being so good.  Mrs. Claus had to tell Santa that he had a lineup of kids so that he would let her go.  It was so cute!

Olivia ready to have a bite to eat.

Mommy and Olivia.

Olivia and Mollie the Monkey

Olivia LOVES her Scentsy Buddy Mollie the Monkey!

Our Cute Little Dragon's First Halloween!

Olivia had a wonderful time on her first Halloween!

First Daddy brought her to my work!  Of course everyone just loved her!  

Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and got a BIG bag of goodies!
(All baby friendly goodies!)

She couldn't wait to get to her goodies!

Here she is posing like a dragon.  We tried to get her to growl or roar, but all she would do is blow raspberries everywhere.

She was tuckered right out at the end of the night.  We must let sleeping dragons lie.

The Rivalry Begins

So the rivalry between MSU and UofM begins for Olivia!

Here is Olivia and her Mommy wearing MSU attire!
I do think that she looks SUPER cute in Green and White!

Here is Olivia and her Daddy wearing the other school's colors!  OK!  So it is U of  M.

And the winner is... 

Unfortunately U of M beat MSU in Football.

There is always next year!

Olivia and her Pumpkin

Olivia LOVES her pumpkin that her Aunt Di and
Uncle Brooke (Olivia's Godfather) bought for her!

She is definitely one happy baby!

She is SO wickedly cute!

Olivia was curious about the leaf, but would not let go of her pumpkin!

I better post some pictures before my family disowns me.  

I am sorry for the long time without a post.  

My new business adventure with Scentsy has taken over any spare time I have right now after I put Olivia to bed.  

A big SORRY to all Olivia's fans!  :0)

Olivia hanging out with Great Aunt Judy (Hear No Evil), Grandma Bea (See No Evil) and Great Aunt Di (Speak No Evil).

My Smiling PRIDE and JOY!

Olivia LOVES her Dora book from Grammie even against her father's wishes!  

Olivia and Daddy at the River of Time.  She is hoping to go fishing sometime soon with Auntie Andrea so she was getting practice on sitting in a boat.

I am not sure why the quality of this picture isn't very good, but I just LOVE her in this picture.  We were visiting Grammie!

Livi at Grammie's playing with Aubrey's Cupcakes.  Olivia LOVED playing with them.

I really hope that Olivia loves to read!

Hopefully I will stay more on top of this blog, but I can't make any promises!  :0)

USS Edson

Robert, Olivia, My sister Andrea, My Mom, Rob's Mom and I all went to check out the destroyer ship that is parked in a local town.  Rob, his Mom, Olivia and I all went on board.  It was really neat to see.

Me, Rob, Olivia, and Rob's Mom on board.

Looking down at Andrea and my Mom from the location of the picture above.  They looked like the size of ants.

Me and Olivia in front of the destroyer.  Ignore the port-o-john in the background.

I should have taken the picture above like Andrea took this one because she used her head to block out the port-o-john.  :0)

Just Clowning Around

My Mom, sister Andrea, and I have done the Founder's Day Parade in a local town for the past 5 years.  This year we introduced the new addition to 

B-Bows Clowns with the introduction of Oopsie Daisy.

Here is Rob holding Oopsie Daisy with Aunt Andrea's clown wig on.  We didn't think she would wear a wig the whole parade so my Mom made her an adorable headband to match her outfit.

Here is Oopsie Daisy (Olivia) waiting for the parade to start!
She is already learning to pose like Grammie B-Bows (see next picture).

Adorable Oopsie Daisy!

This picture was taken in honor of my brother Paul.

My nephew Alex likes to connect stuff together to tow things around so when Andrea did this, to push the stroller and her skate bike at the same time, we thought immediately of him and had to take a picture.

Morning Naps

Olivia and Kadie love taking morning naps together.



The Paper Mama

Olivia! (July and August)

Here are some random pictures from the last month (or two)...  

I know!  I am running a little behind.  OOPS!

Olivia trying food for the first time.  She didn't like it then and she still won't eat food.  She only likes her bottle.  Grrr....

Grandpapa (My Dad) would have LOVED this dress!  Yellow was his favorite color.

Smiley Livi!

Poor Olivia!  Her Daddy thought it would be funny to put her pants on her head!  I don't think she was impressed.

Olivia swimming with her Daddy.  She went in a pool for the first time and loved it!  We were nervous that she wouldn't like it, but she enjoyed it.

Olivia really liked the air mattress.  Her Daddy pulled her around the pool in it.

She was getting a little chilly so we put the towel around her and I think she was about to fall asleep.  She was very comfortable.

Our little monkey's big blue eyes!

I can't believe how much she has grown.  She is truly the joy of our lives!
