Apple Orchard and Happenings

We had an exciting weekend last weekend. We went to Spicers Apple Orchard! Olivia and Emma both had a blast. They really have a lot for the kids to do there. (although almost every single thing cost extra money!) Olivia really liked watching all the kids, and Emma enjoyed being a kid and getting dirty! We picked raspberries (which Olivia LOVES) and apples. Also ate HOT donuts and fresh cider! YUM! Will definetely go back at least 1 more time this season! As you can see Olivia is nearly 2.5 feet tall already!

Oh yeah and by the way....I pretty much have a WALKER on the loose!! Yes, she is WALKING soo much now! She can walk from one end of the living room to the other and back. She is still quite wobbly and gets ahead of herself but shes getting there. I cant believe my baby is already walking... SO EXCITING! She also got her 6th tooth this week. She has developed such a sweet little personality and is just soo much fun. I love every minute with her.

11 Months Old

I cant believe that I am writing a post named 11 months old already!?!?! Didnt I just start this blog??? We have been really busy around here the past month. We are finally starting to fall into a routine of daycare and school now that we are all healthy! She is really liking daycare and it is so good for her to be around other kids. She weighs about 20 pounds now. She is SOO close to walking all the time. She just takes off (more so at home than anywhere else) and will walk halfway across the living room before stopping or falling down. She is also turned into quite the climber...anything she can climb on, she does, or at least attempts it. Olivia says a few words. "hi", "day-day"= baby, "gog"=dog. She loves dogs. And babies. She has a total of 5 teeth now and is ready to cut a 6th one anyday now! Olivia is just so much fun these days, I love spending time with her! I really cant believe we are closing in on her 1st birthday already.....time goes soo fast! Here are some pics I took today...

And I had to throw in one I snapped of Emma....she is loving Kindergarten!

Linzy's BBQ

Today our family held a bbq in honor of my cousin Linzy, who passed away suddenly earlier this year. We all miss her very much. The bbq turned out SOO nicely, due to a lot of hard work between many family and friends. Everyone had a good time and was able to remember what a great young woman Linzy was. We also were able to raise money for our Relay for Life team- Linzy's Ladies. Since the American Cancer Society was a cause that was close to Linzy's heart, we have created a team in her honor to keep her hard work going. We will continue to take donations until the walk, October 3, 2009 @ Fowlerville High School. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather. Linzy would have been so very proud of everyone's hard work in making this event a success and to see all of the people who love and miss her. Here are a few pictures from today:
