A Week With Olivia's Cousins

Olivia's cousins, John Michael and Isabelle, came to visit us for a week! What fun we had. They actually spent the night with Nana and Papa but we got to see them everyday. We took lots of field trips too! We went to Shatto Milk Dairy Farm, Wonderscope, Deanna Rose Farmstead, Olivia's house to jump on the trampoline and lots of eating and ice cream trips. Isabelle really likes watching over Olivia.

Nana bought the girls matching outfits! Isabelle loves dressing alike!!!
Matching Outfits!! Olivia has to do whatever Isabelle does!
I talked my dad into taking a bike ride with me and the three kids....well we made it half way before Olivia was finished...so we had to call Nana to come to the rescue...that led to all three kids catching a ride in the van home. That left my dad and I to ride our bikes back.
We spent one afternoon at Deana Rose Farmstead. Olivia always enjoys a trip there! Isabelle is teaching Olivia how to milk a cow. Papaw she might be ready when we come see you...but then again she might need more practice!All the kids look forward to riding the trackers at the farm. It's a big hit. Maybe next summer Olivia will actually be able to pedal by her self on these.After being at the farmstead and a trip to Dairy Queen...we all ended up in our backyard for more playtime!
Papa took a break in the afternoon to rest with Olivia...Doesn't look real comfortable but they did both sleep!
The last night with the cousins here we took them to the Leawood City Fire Station. They were having an open house. We got to tour all the buildings, 911 dispatch, fire trucks, police dogs, police station, we got to practice finding evidence at a crime screen and more. The kids had a blast. Olivia is determined to keep up with Isabelle and John Michael!

What a great week we had. Thanks for coming Belle and JM!!! We'll see you again in a couple of weeks when we celebrates Belle's birthday!!!!

We have a very busy and hectic week!!! Please pray along with us to stay healthy. We have been exposed to some sickness over the weekend and we are all hoping that it doesn't hit our house. We need to stay healthy this week!!!

Big Girl Bed

Olivia now has a Big Girl Bed!!! She is pretty excited about it. She has never asked to go back to the baby bed nor does she get out of the Big Girl Bed except for the very first nap she took in the big girl bed I found her sleeping in a chair in her room. When she wakes up she just stays there and yells for us to come get her. Today I went to check on her about the time she should be waking up from her nap...and I found her sitting there playing with animals. She is so cute.

She is on a new medicine that we started last night...now I don't know if it was because of the medicine or the bed or what but she slept last night from 8:30-9:20!!!!! That is huge for a little girl and mom that hasn't slept through the night in a LONG time!!
