A star is Born

I think these pretty much speak for themselves. This was Olivia's first dance recital. Unfortunately Grammy couldn't be there, but thank you Mr. Kodak for inventing the camera!

The "Tanicle" Gardens

Grammy got to keep Olivia while Mommy and Daddy went to the beach with friends. Since we had a beautiful weather day, we decided to visit the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Enjoying the swing



Stop and smell the azaleas



Prettier than all the flowers



Uh... come back!




Sunglasses - check. Purse - check. Fairy wand - check. I'm ready to go!



And a special treat afterwards



P.S. Hope you enjoy the new decor.

Guess Who?

E A S T E R !

Aren't they lovely?

The two girls in my life.

It's been a while

Photos of Olivia have been scarce lately because the kids had a break-in and amongst the stolen items were their cameras. Their homeowner's insurance paid the claim but the kids are shopping carefully to replace things.

However, Grammy visited this weekend and here are some new photos of Olivia.

Opening the gardening set from Grammy. Now she can plant her own veggies!

Getting ready to watch the Wizard of Oz, her new favorite movie. She saw a live production last week and Mommy bought her the movie. Already she's traveling to Oz with her little dog and singing about being over the rainbow.

Everyone need a pair of special slippers to travel the yellow brick road, don't they?

Princess jammies and sheets make nighttime special.

Sharing a hug with Grammy before she left for home. After this photo was taken, Olivia donned her tiara and heavy coat for a shopping trip with Daddy who said the folks at Home Depot are always quite taken with Olivia's wardrobe.

More photos

I think they're pretty self-explanatory.

Is it Christmas already?

It must be. Olivia is with Santa!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Olivia goes to the dentist

A few photos from Olivia's first trip to the dentist.

I wish my dentist had a spiffy table like that and a Princess wall.

School days

Isn't she adorable?

Happy Halloween

A pumpkin!

But she ran off and left Mommy to do all the work.

And what an awesome jack-o-lantern she made too.

Not sure about this pose but it's darned cute.



What an adorable kitty cat.

Kitty cat says, "OH MY GOSH! Look at all this candy!"

Mommy says, "OH MY GOSH! Imagine the sugar high!"

Backyard fun

Head first down the slide

Just hanging around

Something's funny

Camping

Helping Daddy break sticks for the campfire.

Relaxing in her new camping chair.

This and that

All dressed up to watch a movie on the computer. LOVE the earrings!

Future rockstars? Olivia and her friend Bella.

Pooped Olivia. Pooped Daddy.

Three Years Old!

It's hard to believe just three years ago we were celebrating Miss Olivia's arrival. Now we're celebrating her third birthday. Just look how much fun she had.

Her very cool birthday hat and dress.

And the only thing that trumps a cool birthday hat is a fabu tiara!

With her Tickle Monster mittens and book.

At school with her new backpack.

Yay! It's party time!

Posing with Mommy.

And with Daddy.

Look what Mommy made for the party at school!

Partying with her friends at school.

Okay... if I mash this pedal will it go? Or should I honk the horn first?

Looks like she got it all figured out.
