Olivia's debut concert!

We were at Andre's work for an event and they had ROCKAROAKE where you can sing with a live band and back-up singers. Olivia thought it was time for her to make her stage debut, so she signed up to sing Taylor Swift's "Picture to Burn". She had so much fun! The quality of the video isn't the best because we used our phone. What do you think? Do we have a future diva on our hands?

Summer Recap!

Yet another summer has flown by and we can't believe it's September already! We know we haven't posted anything since July 4th, so for everyone who keeps reminding us to update our blog, here's a quick summary of our summer adventures:

It was hot, we drove a lot, we had lots of
fun!

Well, what do you expect? We've been busy! Between Olivia's second ballet recital, Andre's 20 year high school reunion in Kennewick, a great week in Montana, a quick drive up to Whistler for Crankworx, and some Spokane trips squeezed in here and there, it's a wonder we had time to listen to Olivia sing all her favorite Taylor Swift songs word for word, notice Nathan's three new teeth and realize he weighs more at nine months than Olivia did at two years, enjoy watching Olivia put "princess" crowns on her little brother and exclaim "AWW! BABY GIRL!" to him, and have the whole family crack up when Nathan belly laughs at Olivia's antics!

We've posted pictures of Summer 2009 in the "Our Recent Pictures" link!

4TH of July Pics

We had a fantastic Fourth of July. We went to the celebration at the park behind our house, then just hung out at home and set off fireworks with our friends and neighbor. Here are two pictures from that day. Nathan had so much fun celebrating his first July 4TH! Nathan's first 4TH of July

Olivia's Dance Recital June 20Th 2009

Olivia had her dance recital last Saturday. Here are some pictures! I haven't had a chance to check if the video turned out yet, but I will post it if it turned out ok. She had so much fun and LOVES the stage. She did a tap number to "Stepping out with my baby". Strike a pose!
Waiting to go onstage.

Tap, tap, TAP!

I hope I'm doing this right...

Dancing her little heart away...Isn't she adorable?

She was so excited that Daddy got her flowers!

With mommy.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!
