Ethan and Alexis' 2nd birthday party!

Our good friends kids turned 2 just 8 days after Olive turned 1! We actually were due with Olive on their birthday last year but she decided to come early! We got to go celebrate with them last weekend. Here is how we partied...2 year old style!
They have this awesome soccer ball that sprays water from all directions. Ethan, the birthday boy is cooling off!
Olive got a little curious and took me with her to explore!

After the first spray...she took off!
But then, after watching Ethan a little more, she decided to give it another try!

She loved it! Ethan spent most of his time getting a drink!


Olive, of course, loved roaming around in just her diaper!

Still getting a drink!
Then it was...
Michelle made the cutest Elmo cupcakes with red frosting. The kids were in heaven!

Olive wouldn't touch HER birthday cupcake 2 weeks ago but after a little hesitation she dug right into Elmo!
I held while she ate, she still was a mess! It was a blast!

Birthday boy eating it up!
Birthday girl on grandma's lap. Gotta love the face...especially the frosting covered nose!

Yummmm!
We made yummy pizzas before we headed outside!

Olive loves anything that makes a crinkle sound! She loved the pepperoni bag!

This is my favorite pic from the day! Olive getting a ride on Ethan and Lexi's new swing set they got for their birthday! Isn't that face just what life is all about? Oh how I love that girl! What a great time we had celebrating with our friends!

The Ohio State Fair!

Last Thursday we had an awesome time at The Ohio State Fair with our friends Meryn and Danny (they got us in for free! Sweet!) Olive wasn't feeling too great and it was HOT but we still had a great time!
Olive and Papa waiting for the pig races to start!
She started to get a little impatient....

But she sure loved to chew on the lemonade straw! This isn't a great pic but check out the sculptures behind us made from 2,000 lbs of butter!
This cup is as big as me!

Here is one tired girl trying to entertain herself!! We had a great time even though Olive was a little under the weather :( Thanks to our awesome friends! ;)
