Olivia liked riding, even all alone.

Dancing with Daddy

Weekend fun

The girls at a harvest festival.

One of the highlights for Olivia--"heeses!"

Friday night Olivia face planted in some gravel at our neighborhood community center harvest festival. She handled it like a champ. These pictures are from Sunday night and her face is healing quickly.

After a her first taste of cotton candy...

Campus Visit

Olivia and I met Bill at school last Tuesday. She fell asleep on the way and I want to draw attention to the pearl necklace she's wearing. She wanted to wear it to meet Daddy. Note: it came off the second we pulled on to campus.
At Biola University. The library is straight ahead and Talbot School of Theology is on our right.

We ate a nice lunch of chicken quesadilla and hamburger and fries. We all shared a Frosty on our way out of town.

She talks on the phone a lot, and especially likes to talk to Holly. This translation is: We went to the beach where there was water. It was cold (shiver.) The beach, the beach. Then she moves on to tell Holly about her pool and heads toward the back door where it is.

Dancing is a large part of our lives.

Olivia insisted that Belle wear socks. And Belle had no where to run.

Belle is a Chargers fan.

Olivia is very much into girly things. She loves to put on makeup and do nails. Here she is helping Tifiny with her toenails.

New leggings.

Legs on display.

Her favorite spot in the mall play area.

Visit with Grammy & Pops Sprouse

They came in for the weekend and we had a nice visit! They were very busy with their grand kids. Out for Thai Sunday night. Pumpkin patch.

Unsure about this goat. (I don't blame her)

Olivia and me.

Pumpkin and straw. Regular country girl.

She begged to do this jumpy-obstacle course. Tifiny and I took her through it and laughed the whole time! We kept falling and tripping.

Olivia and Belle.

Pops and Grammy.

A lone rider.

Wanting to do more rides. One carney called her a "fun-monster." Weird.

At the David Crowder concert. Look closely, there's hair enough for a bow!!!

Olivia and I took a trip to Bakersfield, CA to visit my sister's friend Allison. We had a great time! Olivia loves to text--

Allison and Olivia

Beach two Fridays ago.
She loves her baby doll.

And her Uncle Ecky.

Theo is really warming up to Olivia. He almost jumped in with her.

Belle is almost 6 months old. She's growing so fast and it's great to be here to experience it!

Last Saturday, Olivia and I went to Long Beach to explore. It was a little cold so we didn't swim, but for the record, she was completely soaked and sandy by the time we left. If there's a will, there's a way.

Long Beach was eerily deserted. Maybe some sort of chemical spill we didn't know about?

She's into talking on the phone. She can hold a conversation for several minutes now. Daddy's on the other line here. She was telling him about the wa wa.
