So, we celebrated 2 birthdays this spring/early summer. Olivia turned 2 on May 1 and Jude turned 4 on June 1. We had a combination party--Super-hero-themed! This was my first attempt at a "fondant" cake. It did taste good...however, it's appearance says something else :) It is supposed to be a SuperMan "S".
Olivia received her first costume for her birthday and was thrilled to be wonderwoman.. Check out her toes. She curls them & clenches her fists when she's really excited. She was also posing with Grandma Schoppet for a picture :)
We went to a resort in Branson called Stillwaters in early June with the Zeller family and had a spectacular time. Okay, it was a bit hectic with 9 kids under 7 and 10 adults....who have strong opinions :) But we had a fun time overall! Jude swam on his own quite a bit without waterwings and Livs went down the waterslide!
Olivia has really been using her words... speaking very clearly in full sentences.. It's just nuts the things she comes up with! The girl does NOT sleep..wakes up at 5:00am almost every morning and sometimes takes a 2 hour nap, but most of the time it's 1 hour. And bedtime isn't until 8pm or after....She's a go-getter & full of energy!
We had our friend Josie over the other day and the kids just ADORE her!
These two are best of friends....MOST of the time! They play so well together and fight so well together :) It's quite amusing and sometimes exhausting.
Jude is starting "soccer" this fall. Not sure how this will all go. I think he will learn to run fast and kick the ball... you know, the basics. He was thrilled for his first practice tonight! Time goes by so quickly, especially when I get to spend it with these two!!!!
