Family Pictures

On Saturday we had family pictures with my whole family. It was so much fun! Plus I can't remember the last time we had family pictures. I know that it was before I met David! We had Eric Richards do them. He is awesome!He totally captured Liv's attitude that day!
She was being a little bit of a stinker! But even the grouchy face pictures I absolutely love!

I love how beautiful blue her eyes are! What a gorgeous girl!

Livie Our little family. I'm so glad that we were able to get pictures done before Amy and Derek leave. Thanks Amy for getting it all set up! We are going to miss you guys so much!

Livie's First Day of Dance!

This was Livie's first day of dance class. She did so awesome! At the beginning of class we sat down in a circle to stretch. For each stretch, we count to eight. She LOVED the counting! She was the only one that would count.
We did lots of fun things. Livie is learning how to march, slide, hop, and gallop. We even learned a few dances like "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "Ya Know What." She really enjoyed singing. We were able to get out the mats and do summer saults. At the end of class, the girls were given free time. Livie chose to walk on the pink tape line, back and forth, for an entire song! It was really cute!

The end of class came too soon, but Livie was thrilled to receive her blue glitter star sticker. When we went to our bag to change our shoes, Livie threw a huge fit! She did not want to take her ballets off! We had such a great lesson and can't wait for next week!

Mommy and Me

Today was Livie's first day of our Mommy and me dance class. I had her outfit all ready to go last night; leo, ballet shoes, and I even made her a tutu. When she woke up this morning, something did not seem right. I felt her head with my hand and she was burning up! I took her temperature and it was 103.6! So unfortunately, we were unable to go to her class. She has been sick all day. I've never seen her lay around all day! Poor little thing! I really hope that she feels better tomorrow! I will take pictures of her actual first day of dance next week.

A Birthday Full of Chocolate!

We always love any opportunity to whip out the chocolate fountain! On this occasion, it was Katie's birthday. Instead of a cake, she wanted the chocolate fountain. The kids loved it! Maybe a little too much!
Amy, Allee, and Derek enjoying chocolate dipped everything! We are sure going to miss them when they move!
Happy Big 21 Katie! We would be happy to celebrate your birthday again, just like this!

Erick and Courtney's Wedding

Livie was one of five flower girls. Four 1 1/2 year olds and one 4 year old makes for a rather interesting wedding party! Especially since there were no bridesmaids or groomsmen! But despite the extremely long isle (this picture doesn't show the whole thing!) and lack of practice or supervision, Livie did amazing! She was the only one to actually throw petals and make it down the isle!
Liv absolutely loves water! She was by this little "river" for the long pause between the short ceremony and the luncheon. Yes, it did lead to trouble! We had to take her inside to keep her from picking up the large rocks and throwing them in!
My assignment for this wedding was invitations and flower girl dresses. These weren't to hard to make, just time consuming (especially since I had to make 5!) Dave was taking pictures and I thought he got some of all the girls, however, he only took ones of Liv, so sorry, her dress is the only one you get to see. I'll try to get some from the photographer of the other girls and post so you can see the other dresses.

My little angel! She is so beautiful and such a sport! It was a rough day for such a small person! And of course the ceremony was at noon, right at nap time! But we were able to get this one smile picture!

This video is of Livie dancing. She was so amazed that music was coming out of a rock! Of course as soon as I get out the camera she stops dancing. I was able to catch just a snip of what she was doing. Turn down the volume so you don't have to hear my voice!

Four Amazing Years!

Today is our 4th anniversary! I can't believe it has been 4 years! I am so grateful that I get to spend eternity with my best friend. We have been through so many things in the few years we have been married. I am looking forward to the many things to come! Thanks Love for being you and so totally amazing! I love you!
