January 2010 Happy New Year!

Olivia received a gift card for Christmas from Build-A-Bear!

We had never been before, what a fun place!

Olivia chose a monkey...now time to fill her up!

Next, monkey needs a heart!

Bath time!

Ahh, new friends!

Miss Monkey has adjusted very well to her new home and

Olivia is making sure she feels very welcome!

Olivia loves when Nana and Grandpa send her books,

she is so happy to have a 2nd Fancy Nancy book!

December

We had so much fun experiencing Christmas this year,

Olivia is such a gift from God, we are so very thankful every day!

Olivia was pretty good about the tree, she loved rearrangeing the ornaments, thank goodness most of them are wood and metal :)

Say cheese! Nana and Granpa!

Looking at the lights with cousin Ava!

November

Silly Olivia! She loves to make us laugh!

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and Olivia loved it!

She loves to help Daddy, sometimes Olivia needs to tell him how to do things the right way ;)

Daily outings and happenings...

We had some family fun on a cool day at the park in Elgin

Olivia loves getting mail, she got some cool shoes from Grandma & Granpa!

Olivia thinks it the most fun when we fill the bird feeder!

October

Pumpkins Pumpkins Pumpkins! I love Fall!!!

Here is Olivia at Whole Foods

We had fun at Sweetberry Farms in Marble Falls, TX

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit! Olivia just loves being with them and we took them on a car ride around downtown, we got to see Sandra Bullocks 2 restaurants!

September

We went to see Auntie Annie and Uncle Rudy again! Olivia loves going to Bedford!

She loves the car ride!

On night Daddy just had to have an old-fashion milk shake so we went to some burger joint downtown. Olivia liked being out so late!

We went to our Aunt Lupe and Uncle Henry's 50th wedding anniversay party, Olivia loved the music and danced with her cousins.

Olivia loved playing with her cousins until she ran out of gas!

We went to see our great friends in West Texas!

What a view!

Olivia had so much fun! She really love being outside exploring with her new friends!

Family

Olivia is having fun exploring the outdoors she is so happy to be outside!

(I wish it were cooler)

Olivia loves to feed the ducks at the lake, they actually know us!

They'll come right to us if we pass by them! It is so funny!

(I guess it's because we always feed them)

Anthony went to Seattle to visit Pierre and Alisa!

He had so much fun, but we missed him!

I think she likes Neil Diamond

I was watching Neil Diamond on TV a few weeks ago and I think Olivia liked him! :)

Fun in the Sun!

Olivia loves to scribble and paint Mommy's face with her new "markers"

Olivia went to her first birthday party and had so much fun in the sprinkler park!

Olivia was so excited to visit Auntie Annie and Uncle Rudy in Dallas! She helped carry her own stuff! (we had a birthday part first that's why she is dressed for the beach)

Olivia loved the aquarium in Dallas! So did we!

And of course we had a blast hanging at Auntie Annie's house! Uncle Rudy blew up this pool just for Olivia! She loved it! It even had a blowhole!!

We had such a good time, here we are in the Garza Garden.
(sorry I wasn't prepared for a family photo...no make-up and I'm just a mess!)
