4th of July



We have been partying since Thursday night, too bad the weather in the big O didn't want to cooperate. We had planned to spend the whole weekend in the pool, but it ended up raining the whole time instead. So on Friday we took Olivia to see Elmo at the Children's Museum. One of O's favorite things to do is play on the slide. She had so much fun playing in Grover's play gym as well as going to all the different stations that were teaching her how the human body works. Later that night, we also sat in the rain to watch the fireworks from the stadium across the street.
On Saturday, we woke up to more rain, so we decided to go to chuckie cheese's. We tried to teach her how to play skee ball, but Olivia had her own rules in mind. The one thing she definitely did not enjoy at Chuckie Cheese's was the singing and dancing animals. Other than that, she did enjoy running around playing all the games with mom and dad. To cap off the afternoon fun we went next door to toysrus and bought Olivia her first pink bike, thanks Grandma Sellers, she loves it already!
After a short nap we headed to our friend's parents house for a BBQ and some fireworks. We had lots of fun and the food was super yummy too. O had fun playing with the other kids and chasing their little dog around.
We then went to the Ameristar casino to watch the awesome fireworks show. O was pretty tired so we came home and did a few of our own fireworks. Brad got these awesome fireworks that shot up into the sky so we had our own personal show in our own front yard! O liked the show but didn't really care for the sparklers.
Hopefully next year there will be blue skys and we'll get a tan too!

Olivia's 1st Hair Cut



So we finally did it, Olivia got her hair cut. It was such a bittersweet experience. It was so sad to see all her baby hair in a baggie, but it needed to be done. O did really well, she just sat and watched a movie the whole time. I think Brad and I had a harder time with it than she did. Now she looks like a little girl not a baby any more.
