She Cooks AND Mows the Lawn!

Olivia loves to cook. We are (carefully) letting her try out all sorts of recipes. She loves her little kitchen apron!

She also gets right out there to mow with her daddy - even in a purple princess dress and red sparkle shoes!

Her Outfits Just Get Better and Better...

Without any help from us, Olivia continues to amaze us with her amazing fashion styles. Her ability to match fabrics and pattens is uncanny, covering nearly all colors of the rainbow in each outfit. She knows just how to accessorize with hats, flowers, rain boots, or leg warmers. We're a little worried about when she starts to ask for make up!

Every Little Girl's Right of Passage...Cutting Her Own Hair

So, one night around 10pm, Olivia showed up in the living room and looked at us and said "I just cut my bangs" as though it was nothing. I did the same thing as a child, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't 3! This picture hardly shows the real damage, but we pulled clumps out!  It was hard to be mad at this cute little thing...

Needless to say, we soon ventured to the neighborhood salon (Fantastic Sam's) to see Wendy, Olivia's favorite! Wendy will always wash Olivia's hair (so cute) and treats her like a princess.



Olivia sits in the chair and drives the whole time. Olivia makes the visit really fun for her.

She is sure to style, full blow dry and everything!

And this is the result! A beautiful little Romana haircut.

And the same question each time...can I have a lollipop now? Olivia loves getting her haircut, but luckily she has not tried to do her own again since!

Opa's Visit

Opa came to visiti us in June. We had a great time going to baseball games, golfing (Opa and Daddy), and tie dying on Father's Day. The girls had a great time speding time with their Opa.

We spent a lot of time at the pool... perfect for the hot days!

Opa went to do his tie dye shirt and told us "I don't want it to be too bright." This is what he ended up with! Ha - perfect and bright! We hope he's wearing it all over El Paso!

Of course, the real treat was having MissChief here with us. We all love her and apparently, she loves Daisy's bed and laying in the sun!

Our little O...Getting So Big!

How We're Staying on Cool...

Apparently, water makes this family turn ghost-like! Olivia showed no mercy on her dad!
