Olive the painter

Olive comes home from school almost everyday with a new project that she has created. She also likes to paint, color and build at home. Today she worked with a new medium -- watercolors!

Fun and messy!

Afternoon showers

It's Monsoon season in Northern Arizona and what could be more fun then going outside and jumping in some puddles?

By the way, this is blogpost #200 since we started this crazy journey back in April 2007.

Climber girl

Olive loves a trip to the playground and lately has really enjoyed climbing. She really loves the 'climbing wall'. Mom and Dad are learning not to freak out while Olive climbs around like a little monkey.

4th of July Weekend

We had a busy 4th of July weekend that included 2 parades, watching a hot dog eating competition, and lots of bouncing in a bounce house.
