happy birthday olivia!

I can't believe that she is four years old already!  She is still pretty small for her age, but she is growing up so fast. She is smart and a bit sassy, fiercely independent, creative and artistically talented, and she loves to make Tucker and Rylie laugh. We had a fun day on Saturday, when we invited her friends Aubrie and Kaiya to come play. They swam in the pool, made some fun foam crafts, and had jello parfaits. Then Lorene, Kaiya's mom, painted their faces, which they loved. By that time a storm had rolled in, though, and so the pictures got a little dark.  (You'll see a purple and pink kitty, an orange tiger, and a purple butterfly - and then you'll see Ironman.)


Then today, Father's Day, we had a family party when Dan got home. She opened her presents and we took her new bike for a test drive. 
She's actually pretty lucky, because we're going to have another family birthday party for her (and Grandma Beth, Grandpa Cary, Tyler, and Brittany who all have birthdays close) at the beach next week. I'll have lots of pics to post then. :)

Yah! a big girl bike! I don't think I should mention this even to E. She will be devistated that she wasn't there and that O won't be at her party. Don't tell, but she's getting a big girl bike too! We miss you!!!

Aw... I can't believe it's already been 4 years since you had her, Shell! wow.

She's such a doll, and her party sounds SO fun (and so manageable- you are smart to keep it small).
