Playdate With Olivia

so this last week i went and visited anna and olivia and olivia grandma was there as well! it was nice to see everyone again and anna looks wonderful! olivia has gotten soooo big! she is now 9 months and 22lbs now and let me tell u she is a chunker. she is such a mommies girl to. me and anna went to go change her diaper and i picked her up to take her to her room and the only way i could get the little booger to let me hold her was to let her look at the pictures on my camera. i didn't mind and i wasn't affended in the least i mean she doesn't see me very often and i don't blame her! a picture below is a painting that rick did for anna for mothers day. the girl has huge feet wearing a size 4 or 5 at 9 months. she has such long legs to!
hers is anna and olivia playing. she is such a ham to. she would be playing with a book, banging on a toy or throwing a ball around and ever few mins she would turn around and look at me to just make sure i was still watching her, it was adorable!!

this is olivia and grandma. grandma is soooo doting towards Miss Olivia. she is deff wrapped around her finger for sure!

olivia is sooo cute. she has the curliest hair and its very light now with a redish tint and her eyes are soooo blue! im sure she will thank daddy for those later in life. the girl definitely knows what a camera is cause every time i would call olivia to look at the camera she would stop, look and perk up a bit lol anna says she takes a pick of her everyday to send to daddy so I'm sure thats why =)

i really enjoyed my visit with anna and olivia and hope to go see them soon. i have an open invitation at anytime which is really nice!!

“Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it .”

we play a lot of board games with the twins. and as much as playing Chutes and Ladders 3 times in a row can get me popping advil like pez i know that the kids enjoy it and its a good chance to teach them all about loosing with grace. my kids are not perfect and loosing can get to them at times however i try to remember that they are 4 and only human. what person doesn't like to win ya know however we try and explain this, if you win then that means that someone else has to loose. in these cases its usually me or daddy, sissy or bubby. so whoever wins we make sure to tell them "good job" and whoever looses we make sure to tell them "good job" cause in either case everyone tried there best which deserves a job well done!
just a thought
