Toes in the sand....

After 20+ hours in the car we made it to Florida at about 2p.m. on Saturday.  Ahhhh.....what a beautiful site.  The kids could not WAIT to get their bathing suits on and RUN out to the beach!!
SO cute and fun to watch their excitement.
Blake is a beach lover...Liv prefers to stick to the pool (takes after her mama).  The sand kind of grosses her out.  She would RUN out there...and then RUN - at full speed - right back up to the steps to the pool.  lol.
 
Ahhhh.....sun and fun!!

Back at it....

I have been catching some flack (ah hem...Tony)....so here you go! Ha, no really...I need to get back in the swing of posting daily, but have been caught up in the daily grind and haven't had a chance to be on here much.  I will work on it...promise. 

I NEED to anywho....because this 3rd baby is going to be here (less than 8 weeks) and I need to start documenting.  Not fair to the 3rd if Blake and Liv have post upon post and then the 3rd one is neglected :(.

Work has been crazy busy....impending maternity leave, lots of summer programs to plan for, promotion (yay me)....so my blog-at-work time is next to nil right now.

I have lots of pictures to blog from our trip to Florida this month, so I will get on that soon...but need to upload them first.

For now, I will leave you with a couple instagram pics that I can pull from my phone!!

These are from the way to Florida.  We drove...20+ hours, a 4 year old, a 2 year old, a 30+ week preggers mama, a dad with road rage....it was a joy.  J/K....it actually wasn't bad at all...and I would totally do it again this weekend if we could!!

This is liv's signature look.  EVERY pair of glasses....EVERY time.  Never fails.  She rocks it I guess.
 
This was Blake at the 9.5 hour mark....I feel his pain....

Olivia's Field Trip to the Children's Museum


 Last week Liv's class went to the Childrens Museum for a field trip!  She loved it of course.  Highlights were riding the bus to get there, playing in the water, running from exhibit to exhibit.  She was just a ball of energy (per usual).

I got to go...and Ryan even stopped in for a bit.  It's fun to see her interact with her friends.  She sure is a social little thing!!

Sick babies....

I have had two sick little babies in my house for a few days now.
Poor Liv started with a fever on Friday night and has been in the dumps ever since.
Cough, runny nose, fussy, etc.

Poor Blake started coming down with the same crud on Sunday night.
His wasn't quite as bad, but overall - he is a sick pup too.
Still in good spirits though!


 
The whole fam has been hit...Ryan starting on Saturday and me on Monday.
Here's hoping that it is GONE tomorrow!!

Christmas Angel

Here are a couple of pictures of Olivia before we went to visit Santa this year.  She was all proud and excited, but by the time we reached to the front of the line she chickened right out and didn't want anything to do with jolly old St. Nick!
 She is STILL talking about Santa every day though (yes, on January 24)...she is obsesses and always wants to know where he is. 
 
She says "where's Santa?"
I say "North Pole"
She says "why?"
I say "making toys"
she says, "Oh...babies" (her favorite toy is a baby doll)
We have this exact same conversation EVERY SINGLE DAY! haha

Hopefully next year she can actually TELL Santa what she wants.  This year Blake relayed the message for her (so cute).

Birthday Cake!

These pictures are SO old...from back on December 14th at the kids b-day party.  BUT, alas, here they are!
 
Blake was SO excited about his Madagascar cake...Liv was just excited about cake in general :)

Cousin Addy, Liv, and Blake



 Digging in!


 Little Liv is always the best eater of the bunch.  Never have to worry about her getting enough :)

Growing, growing, growing....

Olivia Kay is 2 years and 1 month old today.

First off, I can’t believe that my baby girl is 2.  It seems like just yesterday we were bring the sweet little pink bundle home from the hospital.  Today she is EVERY bit a two year old.

She is in to everything.  I do not remember these “terrible two’s” with Blake.  He was always a pretty well behaved toddler.  Liv is another story.  She is a spit-fire, and you cannot turn your head for one minute.

For example…on Saturday I was upstairs and Ryan and the kids were downstairs.  In a matter of no time at all, she climbed on the kitchen island, put the drain in the bar sink, turned on the water, and started flooding the kitchen.  It is always something with her!

She isn’t ALWAYS bad…she can be the sweetest, cuddly, loveable little thing around.  It makes it hard to be mad at her because she is so darn cute.

She still isn’t potty trained, but we are getting closer I think.  It is probably more my fault than hers…I need to take the time and really focus on it for a few days.

She also isn’t sleeping through the night…again, probably my fault.  I have tried to go with the cry-it-out method…but I have such a hard time.  I can’t lay there and sleep while she is crying…so it is quicker and easier for me to just get up, go in there, and sooth her.  I am working on it though…

Her vocabulary is growing like crazy.  She talks and talks.

She was in the 25th percentile for weight and 65th percentile for height at her 2 year well visit.  She did much better at the doctor this time…maybe her fears are starting to fade. 

She is OBSESSED with all thing “baby” (real and dolls).

Her hair is getting so long!  She is in 24 month and 2T clothing.

She will eat anything that you put in front of her…and she would eat all day long if we let her!

We just LOVE this little beauty beyond words…but I will admit, this is a HARD age.




~Love you Livi Kay!!~

Birthday Party...(way late)

Blake turned 4 on Dec. 13 and Liv turned 2 on Dec. 15 (b/c December isn't crazy enough as it is...I decided to have a couple kids then), so we had a family b-day party on the 14th!
 
It was just immediate family in attendance.  My parents, Ryan's parent, Ryan's grandparents, Ryan's sister Dani and fiance Chris.  Ryan's bother, SIL Arlee, and cousin Addy.  That still makes for a crazy/loud party!
 
Of course Blake wanted his favorite food..tacos, so tacos it was.  He originally wanted to serve cereal, but I told him that probably wasn't appropriate for a dinner party.

We never have a problem getting Olivia to eat.  Blake has always giving us a struggle.  If it is edible she WILL eat it.

Present time!!  We have been on present overload for the past 3-4 weeks.  B-day and Christmas = chaos!

Sweet Livi-kay

SOO many gifts!
 
Giant Mr. Potato Head was a big hit!

Seriously, people?!

These pictures make me giggle...because it looks like Livi is just so disgusted!
 
Her "school" has a web-site and her teachers post pictures of them throughout the day/week.  I love that they do that.  Typically Liv looks like she is having a blast and I know that she just loves it at school.  She is very social.
 
Here are some pictures that her teacher posted of the class playing outside.  Liv looks LESS than thrilled with the snow! haha
 She cant move...reminds me of A Christmas Story...
 Sledding....this is going a bit better...
 Nope....back to being s sad snow statue...lol.
 poor baby girl....so sad.
 And now, she lost a glove...
 Mama doesn't like that....
 Glove is back, and so is the scowl...

Ohhhh Liv....she is just too sassy for her own good.

Lately....

Just a few Instagram (galgo1ae) pictures from my phone lately....
 
Look at how long Olivia's hair is getting!  It looks so cute in pig-tails.  I really should get her a haircut....but I cannot bring myself to cut it off!!

Pretty Liv after waking up from a loooong nap on New Years Day.  She didn't stay up until the ball dropped the night before, but she did stay up way past her bedtime!

What I'm reading now....it's a oldie....but I haven't read it yet.  I am just starting..and honestly an not that into it yet.  I have so much stuff going on that reading is falling on my priority list each night!

Liv at her 2 year well visit.  I can't believe my baby is 2!  She still has a ridiculous fear of doctors (stemming from her issues/surgery when she was a baby I believe)...but she is getting better.  She is healthy and weighted in at just over 25lbs (35th percentile) and measured in the 65th percentile for her height.  Just perfect :).
 The day after Christmas Ryan and I traveled to Detroit for the Little Ceasers Pizza Bowl.  I had to work prior to the game...and we won!  Yay CMU.  The roads were CRAZY bad on the way down when I snapped this.  Luckily we drove the truck and had 4WD.

My angel babies sleeping snug in their beds....I could watch them sleep forever!!

I think that I will do my first pregnancy post (#3) tomorrow!
