Seasons Greetings

Seasons Greetings to you all. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for checking out our website!


Here are some of the unused poses from our photo shoot. As you can see, sitting still for pictures is a huge chore for Olivia!




















We pray for Peace & Goodwill for all this Holiday Season.

We pray that Christ be kept in Christmas & not a winter holiday.

Most of all we pray that this year & the New Year, God will bless you & your families with Happiness, Health, Joy, Peace, Wealth & Love!

OUTRAGEOUS OLIVIA!

Olivia has become very active since learing to walk in late June. She is always doing something that either cracks us up or freaks us out!
These pictures are from summer & fall 2007.

(Left) This picture was taken at the Pflugerville parade. You can't tell from the picture but she got up on the chair and was standing to watch the parade.

(Left) Starting early on her math skills. Her new favorite toy is a calculator.

(Left) Olivia climbs all over our friend's dog, Bear. Bless his heart he just lays there at takes it. He's so good with kids!
(Left) Olivia discovered my cowboy hat and would not take it off. She's watching Barney with her cowboy hat on.

(Left) Playing peek-a-boo behind the lamp stand.


(Left) Playing in her play room. Olivia loves to climb up on the chair and "rocky-rock"






(Left) Olivia loves hats. As you can see she will make a hat out of anything. These are her pajama bottoms that she put on her head.


(Left) Again with the hats. Olivia found Daddy's hat and had to wear it around the house.




(Below) "Too Cool for my Shades!"





(Left & Below) We went to the Metro Park in Pflugerville with the Mom's Club. Olivia had a blast climbing the playscapes and going down the slides.


(Below) Olivia constantly tries to climb the cat tree to the right. She had just lost her footing and plopped to the ground.
(Left) Olivia loves to help fold laundry. I use the word "help" very loosely!







(Left, Below & Right) Apparantly the fridge is good fun. Olivia loves to sit on the ledge and pull every bottle out of the shelves on the door. Yes, we've had to put a lock on the fridge!












(Below) All the cupboards have safety locks except the rubber container cupboard. This cupboard is quite a source of entertainment!


(Left) This is supposed to be a push toy for toddlers to walk behind. Olivia has figured out how to sit on the toy and then push herself backward.


(Left) "Gotta Go, Gotta Go! Things to see places to be!"

(Left & Below) Spaghetti is one of Olivia's favorite meals. We strategically plan this for bath night!

(Below) Olivia finds the one of the cat food dishes and decided to give it a try.












(Left and Below) What a difference a year makes.


(Below) Bear gets soooo spoiled when we dog-sit. Olivia just loved sharing her food with him and Bear was much obliged!

(Left) Bear just loves Olivia! Or is he just finding a rogue piece of food that landed on her???

(Left) Olivia would play with Bear's food dish for hours. She thought it was pretty funny to sit in the bowl. Yes, she does have a diaper on but it's hidden by the dog dish.


(Left) At the Watermelon Thump in Luling, TX. This watermelon went for over $1500 at the auction.

(Left) Straws make for good chewing.

(Below) Here Olivia is actually using the walker properly!

(Left) Crawling around chasing a ball.
(Left) So darn cute!

Olivia visits Santa Claus

Olivia visited Santa. As you can tell, she was not thrilled with sitting on this big, strangers lap. We managed to click one picture between the tears!
