Lately...

I really don't have anything exciting to say, but I know it is time for some kind of update. I read blogs and people have such interesting, witty, and funny things to say and post about. What can I say, my life is kind of routine-good-but not too many exciting things have happened lately. I did kill a big old black widow on our sidewalk the other night. It tried to cross at exactly the wrong time. It was big and ugly!
Oh yeah, I got a calling at church. That is something new to report. I am the Miamaid advisor, which seems to be really fun. The girls are all so sweet and the ladies I work with are great too!

Like I said, the kids and I are into a good routine, hitting the library and playgroup every week along with the two days of preschool for Olivia. She is quite the character. She has her hairdo destroyed moments after I fix it, and I documented this in pictures the other day. She loves to color and sing and dance around. She mostly pretends to be one of the Disney princesses. She like to help me clean and sing "whistle while you work." William is eating rice cereal and veggies and sitting up. He is also very interested in toys and eating his toes. Olivia is very into the letters of the alphabet lately and the other day at lunch she was biting her sandwich parts into different letters. She started by saying, "look mom, a J for Jolisa" then proceeded to make an L and a roller skate along with a few letters in between. I took a few pictures, which led to her wanting pictures of her letters taken every time she eats ANYTHING she can make a letter out of. Will has starting eating solid foods and is much more into it than Olivia was at this age. He also likes to eat his toes.


Here is Olivia moments after I fixed her hair. It is very secure I might add, hair spray and all. In about five minutes she will have rolled all over the floor, raked pillows and blankets over her head and then wonder why her hair is in her face and try to rip the ponytails out.

Don't ya just love sleeping babies? I could just eat him up he's so darn sweet!

He sits and plays with toys all the time now. He hasn't quite rolled over yet though.


Olivia bit this piece of cheese into a roller skate. And then started working on letters.



Here is Livvy with her "J for Jolisa"



So there is the latest! You are now officially up to date with us.

Such cute pics! Congrats on the new calling. Now you'll know all of the best babysitters. That is so funny that Olivia was doing that the other day. Connor was biting his PB&J sandwich yesterday into letters too! That just goes to show how advanced she is:) William is getting so big.
