Happy 4th of July!
Olivia sported a new look for school on Friday, July 3! She wanted her hair done like cousin Julia's - in braids! It was the first time we tried it with Olivia's hair - which is still pretty thin - and it turned out pretty good! She LOVED it!

She has her mother's voice....
Olivia LOVES to sing! Her favorite songs are ones that she knows from movies. Here she is singing in her pajamas one morning. She is so cute!

Vegas Vacation
Travis and I had a great time earlier this month on our little Vegas getaway. We met 15 of my students that graduated in May there for a graduation celebration. We had a great time!
Below is Travis with Antoine & Scott, just after we arrived.

The first night we were there, we went to go see Le Reve, and it was AWESOME!!!
Us at the show.
Us at the waterfall bar after the show.
The next day we went on a venture down the strip, we had lunch at Serendipity 3, and had an AMAZING shake! Yum!
Lib enjoying the shake!
This was the night of the Red Wings hockey final game. We watched the game in the Wynn sports book. I ended up leaving and going with a group to see Blue Man Group, but Travis stayed to watch the rest of the game with the other "die hards"!
At dinner that evening at Wolf Gang Puck's restaurant in the Venetian.
The whole group at dinner.
Later that evening at Club XS; Tanya, Joe, Me and Eugene.
The ladies having fun on the dance floor.
Us in the Venetian.
The final party, at Antoine's villa. Me, Uma & Tanya.
This is the whole group, students and spouses. We had a great time!

The late night gamblers! This was the final night in Vegas for most of us!
Our hotel - the Wynn - it was AMAZING!

Too Cute!
How is my baby this big!?!?! I just can't believe how big she is looking lately.
And she's been saying some rather funny things lately. Yesterday Travis had gone to help his dad hang doors in his new house, and Olivia said to me, "When my daddy comes back home, I'll be so happy...right now I'm sad." It was cute!
Later when we were out playing on her new swingset (pictures to be coming in the next week, after we finish the landscaping around it. She said "Mom, there's a snake on my castle" and I looked, and there was a caterpillar on it. I told her it was just a caterpillar, she said "a calapillar"? I said it to her a few more times hoping she'd catch the "T" but she didn't, she'd just repeat "calapillar"! Too cute!
She was looking exceptionally cute getting ready for school this morning - so I asked Travis to snap a few pictures of her. As you can see she was in a great mood too! So cute!!
I love these shorts, they came from Meris - my friend's daughter. And the t-shirt under her sweatshirt came from cousin Julia. We get so many cute hand-me-downs! We are lucky!!

A day at Comerica Park
On Sunday, we went to Comerica Park to watch the Tigers. They lost, but we still had a great time. Lucky for us, Olivia slept all the way there! 
Travis & Olivia heading to the park!
Olivia enjoyed showing off and playing on the steps. A lot of people were looking at her and commenting on how cute she was. We even had a couple next to us comment on how good she was and that their 16 year old wouldn't have sat as long as she did. She's such a great kid!
Olivia sat in the seats in front of us for a while and she thought that was pretty cool.
She had fun playing with her daddy and his hat.
Then we got ice cream cookie sandwiches and they were so good!
Olivia waiting in line for the carousel.
Every time we go, she wants to ride the carousel and every time she gets scared when it starts. She always begs for it to stop. But then when it's all over she says "That was FUN!" Good grief!
It was a fun day. And lucky for us, Olivia slept all the way home too!

Brownies
Last weekend Olivia and I made brownies together. She had fun mixing them, but had more fun eating the extra batter!

Happy Mother's Day!
Last week, Olivia's school had a Mother's Day brunch. I went and we had a good time. Olivia was very excited to have me there. Below is Olivia with the class pet, Mr. Sniffles - a rabbit. She really likes him and wanted her picture taken with him.
Below is Olivia and me having brunch. Each kid gave their mom a flower. The teacher had each kid tell her what their mom likes, and they attached what the child said to the tag. You never know what you're going to get from a 2 year old. Olivia did good, she said "My mommy likes her Travis". And I thought that it was so cute. I'm so glad that Olivia is growing up knowing that her mom and dad like each other. :)
