Twins Game!!

This morning Jesse called a little after 7:00 and said his boss gave him 4 tickets for the noon game today. He was very excited. He called my brother and he said that he would need to take Evan with so he arranged for him to pick up Olivia early from school. She was soooo excited. She has been begging to go to a game since the beginning of the season.
It was chilly, but Jesse said the kids did pretty well.

Great Seats...Behind Home Plate!!

Attempts at getting a good picture of the two of them:



Finally Ronn took over for a "keeper"


Olivia and Evan


Olivia loves Cotton Candy and the last game we took her to we promised her she could have some. We looked EVERYWHERE at the stadium and they were SOLD OUT!! Our friend Steve even took his electric scooter around the stadium looking for it for her, but couldn't find it. Finally she got her cotton candy!!


Olivia's favorite Player is Danny Valencia :0)

Cubbies Graduation!!

Olivia has officially completed her first year of Awanas. Tonight was her Cubbies Graduation. It was very cute. They sang a few songs which included "Going on a Bear Hunt" and "Jesus Loves Me." They also had a little graduation ceremony where she even got a hat and a little Cubbies Bear for her vest. Olivia loved Cubbies this year. She still remembers her very first bible verse: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son"












Picture with her Grandmas :)

She is pretty bummed that Cubbies is over until September, but is very excited to be in Sparks next year. I do keep telling her that this is one step closer to summer vacation, which means one step closer to being home with mom for three months :)

Teeth!!

A couple of weeks ago, Charlie finally got his first two teeth. Charlie was late at getting them, but not as late as Olivia. Olivia was 11 months old when she got her first tooth. Charlie was almost 10 months!!


Thanks to my neighbor Dina, I finally have a picture where you can see them :)

Easter Fun!!

The past couple of days have been filled with lots of family time. Thursday night we went to Jesse's parents house for an egg hunt. Olivia had a blast and Charlie just wasn't sure what to think of all of the commotion.






Then on Saturday night we went to my mom's house for another egg hunt and we celebrated my nephew Holden's first birthday.
I was so happy that everyone made it...even Reed and Grandma Jo.




Finally Easter...Olivia woke up a couple of times during the night asking if I thought the Easter Bunny had come yet. Then this morning she tried telling me that when she woke up in the middle of the night she caught the Easter Bunny in the basement hiding the eggs ;). It was cute!! After our own little egg hunt, we went to church. It was very nice to be at church with both of my parents, my grandma Metzger and my brother's family. After church, we headed up to Jesse's Grandma's house for a wonderful Easter dinner and some great family time. It was a little bittersweet. Jesse's grandma will be moving to an apartment soon.
It was our last holiday at the farm.
We all had a great time and all of the Great Grandchildren were together. Olivia had tons of fun!!






Grandma Joan's








Happy Easter!!

Water Park

This past weekend, we enjoyed some more family time at the Baxter Holiday Inn Water Park. We had tons of fun. Our friend Troy (Charlie's Godfather) let us tag along with him and his daughter Talia for the weekend. We had such a great time swimming and hanging out.
