Swimmin' Buddies

This is only the beginning of many many summer's these two bathing beauties will be swimmin' buddies! Baby Vanessa and her Mom and Dad came swimming with us this weekend at the Hot Springs Pool. Olivia had a total blast playing in her floating car and splashing and kicking in the pool. Vanessa handled a really quick dip and then a little nap on the lawn! Can't wait for all the fun summer's to come. P.s. Annie, still waiting to hear about that pool party!

Isn't Nessa CUTE?

Shop time

Nope, not that kind of SHOP, this is working with Dad in the garage type of shop! Olivia LOVES to help her Dad in whatever he is doing, she is right under his toes at any given moment and just completely adores him! (I think he's pretty cool too!) These two are a great team.

Johnny recently got me a new Dirt Bike ( :D ) and brought home some sweet new gloves to match. Olivia totally took to the gloves and here she is rocking them and nothing else! (Here is the most decent of all the pics)

She ran around the house all wild like, giggling and laughing at her new outfit! She's so funny, she cracks me up all day long!

Fun For The Whole Fam

Aww The Bubble Generator, one of the best things ever invented. Blowing your own bubbles is now completely over-rated. I've been wanting to get one of these things for a long time, why? you ask. Well: 1.Blowing bubbles yourself is a mess (especially with a bunch of kids fighting over them) 2. The old "light-headed" factor and 3. You can only get a few really great bubbles before you have to re-dip and blow. The bubble machine keeps everybody entertained for an endless amount of time, millions of bubbles in minutes! Here's a video of my two nieces (Alexa and Ashlyn), Olivia and the dogs...Like I said it's fun for the WHOLE Fam!

Swim Day

Mistie and I got together for a swim day with our kiddos + Mistie's nephew little gavin who is a hoot by-the-way. I didn't get any pics of Gavin but Olivia sure did think he was funny when he'd dive under water then pop up out of nowhere, she loved it. Even though the pool was kind of lame-o (until the awesome pool by us opens up we had to go elsewhere) the girls had a blast in the water. Olivia especially loved snack time, splashing/kicking/jumping in the water, and saying Hi continuously to everybody around us! Here is Olivia and Avery before their dip:

Livi also loved to say "HI" to Avery...lots of times :) She's so cute!

"Hiiiieeee"

Yes...We're Back!

We've been home from Hawaii for a week and I haven't even checked my e-mail. I've enjoyed not occupying too much of my time blogging--it sure gets addicting and I've actually gotten out of the habit while away on vacation! I'm sure as life settles back into the norm I'll pick right back up where I left off! :)
Hawaii was soo awesome, and beautiful, and amazing and sunny! Here are some of the pics from our trip:


Sorry about the sideways pics.

Aloha from O'ahu!

Hello Peeps and visitors to my site...Just wanted to write in and say that we are still loving every minute of this Paradise thing! We've been here a week and still have 4 crazy days to enjoy this amazing place. We've done it ALL in the past week and just plan on chilling out at the beach and relaxing the remainder of the time we are here. Hope everyone is great and we'll be posting some sweet pics soon! Bye-for-now PEACE

Goodbye For Now...

I am getting a bit anxious and nervous knowing that in ONE day we'll be leaving Olivia for almost TWO weeks. *tear* I am going to miss this little stinker ROYALY!! She has been too cute for words (hense the pictures) and she makes me laugh everyday. She is getting the sweetest, most adorable and biggest personality you've ever seen. We are really going to miss Olivia while we are gone on our trip, but I think once we get to paradise i'll be okay! ; ) Thank you Mom, Tami and Annie for taking care of Olivia while we're gone and for loving her like we do!

Wish we could pack you in our suit case too, Livi!

LOVE YOU

Let Them Play!

Play day at the Milla's: you've got to loves water toys! These are some of Olivia's cousin's, they came over for a party in the sun! Olivia loved it~she thought she was soo big and loved to copy all the kids. Look how cute they are:

Bathing Beauties: Alexa, Ashlyn, Annalee and Olivia

Annalee and Alexa drinking it up! Life's a party :)

Sassy Blue

We got our pics taken from this awesome girl, Sara Boulter. It was a lot of fun working with Sara, she did a fantastic job and was really easy to work with! Olivia did the usual "not impressed" look most of the time even while I put her pants on my head and did some crazy dances to try to make her smile! She did however have an absolute blast collecting rocks, waving "hello" to passersby and running away from the backdrops we put her in front of! I love her.
Wanna see a tiny sneak peak??

It's A Bike? It's A Motorcycle? It's A Motorized Bicycle?

Johnny and his Dad are going to start selling these awesome kits. This is Johnny's beach cruiser, he found this kit where you can mount a tiny motor and a tiny gas tank and other necessary parts to make your bike motorized! It's wicked! It is SO fun to ride and makes those hard to pedal hills a BREEZE. ha ha You can pedal like a regular bike or use the engine. They also make Hybrid electric ones.If you already have a bike to mount it on you can just buy engine and parts, if not you can buy the whole shebang: bike with engine, and they have all sorts of styles and types. Check out this LINK Find a bike you love and Johnny can get it for you! He is going to start selling these locally! Let me know if you want one, and we can start a bicycle gang! :)

Reunited....And It Feels So Good!

This last weekend we got together with some close friends, that we hardly get to see anymore, it was awesome! Thanks for the killer BBQ Abbie and Trevor :)

Us Chillin' and looking at some funny old pictures

And Our Men: Sean, Johnny, Cj and Trev (getting snuggly).

HAWAII...Here We Come!

It's true we're going to Hawaii. Funny story is that we're supposed to be going to Canada for Johnny's High School Reunion. While investigating plane tickets we found that flying to Hawaii was $100 bucks cheaper than Canada? Weird. Okay so let's see, 100 dollas less...Hawaii, Middle of Alberta...Canada, Hawaii, Canada, Hawaii, Canada...HAWAII here we come. We're staying for a glorious 11 days! We'll miss all of you especially little Olivia.
