Labor Day

On Labor Day we decided to hit the pool for a little cool down and some time in the sun. Since we were having a BBQ at our house that evening, we didn't want to be out too long. So it was perfect.

Olsen's friend came back from Brazil. You can't separate the two!

Best Buds. Seriously, it will be funny if the graduate together and we have this picture.

Alexandria

So I took a million pictures of Alexandria today. She was just so cute sitting there I couldn't help myself. Whoever invent the Bambo chair for infants is my hero. Baby loves sitting in there and I can get some work done while she watches me. So helpful.

This is how Alexandria helps me while I clean the kitchen.....
Now these are just cute pictures of her


I love her feet in this picture.
Gabriella needed to come show some love to her baby sister.

Funny Faces

My kids make me laugh. The other day the kids were sitting on the couch and started making funny faces. Had to take pictures.




Alexandria smiling for the camera again. Daddy is holding her and that alway makes her happy.

Alexandria Smiling

Finally!! I got a picture of Alexandria smiling. She has the cutest smile, but she would never smile for the camera. Till today. So enjoy these cute pictures of my baby girl. :)

Party at Utah

Okay, real quick because I'm way tired, but here are some pictures of my weekend in Utah. It was so fun to see family and to show off my pretty little girl. Seriously, I think I only held her when she was hungry. Many aunts, uncles and cousins couldn't get enough of her.

Friday night at Amalie's we celebrated mother and Dad's 50th, Christian and MayLynn's 25 and the wedding of Alison and Adam.

The three brides...... :)

Today was Gabriella's first day of school.

The best part of the morning was Olsen giving counsel to Gabriella on the drive to school:

"Sister, be a good girl and no crying, ok?"

And then she replied, "Ok."

And she didn't.

Some vid clips of Gabriella

While Olsen would yell out "Superman", Gabriella would call out her own versions.

Gabriella loves you
