We've had beautiful weather and we've been working outside a lot! I'll update with pictures of the house in a couple of weeks and all of our landscaping progress. But, what you really come here for are pictures of Miss Olivia - here they are.
Early in April, we had some great sunshine and we took the opportunity to spend some time outside in the yard. Olivia got this slide for her birthday last year, and hardly used it. It sits outside the window of our kitchen table. She had been looking at it saying "slide, slide" - so we went out and she LOVED it!
Olivia has also really taken to exploring her yard!
She loves to hang out down by the pool and playing with all the rocks - she likes to try to find the ones that don't belong!
A few weeks later - you can see the weather continued to improve. Spring jacket replaced the winter jacket and the cap replaced the winter hat!
Olivia finding a rock that doesn't belong with all the other rocks!
The dogs were waiting for Travis to throw their ball to them. They're great with Olivia in the yard - although they move quick - they don't seem to get too close where they might knock her over - but they do LOVE to be close to her!
Enjoying our relaxing chairs and some goldfish!
My cousin Emma had her first prom - and she looked beautiful!
Below, she reminds me a lot of my friend Jamie - back when we were younger! 
This looks like a nice family dinner - it wasn't! It was the feeding of the workers! We had the family over and they helped with our landscaping! My mom and Aunt Marcy were the master gardeners - while Kate, Travis & I were the master planners. Kurt and Poppi got the job of watching the kids. After one child got kicked in the head by her mother, and another got knocked down by a dog - everyone was okay and we enjoyed New York Strips that Travis cooked on the grill. You can't ask someone to work hard and then give them hamburgers! Dinner was great and dessert was overwhelming! We didn't "assign" dessert to anyone - so everyone brought something - because our family loves sweets! We ended up inviting the neighbors over to help us put a dent in it!
The girls playing after their bath!
Kate & Jimmy
As you can see - Olivia really enjoys playing with Julia!
This was earlier tonight. Liv's hair was crazy because she had swim lessons - and we had to blow dry it. She likes hanging out in the "bat cave" (the area between the love seat and the chair) but so does Rusty! Sometimes they share the cave. 
This is where I asked for a smile! :)
Olivia loves Rusty! She loves to hug and kiss him!
And this is after Rusty left the bat cave - he'd had enough lovin'!
