Amen or Awww Man?

It has been a little over a month since the last update. Boy, how time flies! Olivia and Jen went to Florida for 4th of July week while poor Brian had to stay behind and do school work. Olivia took her first trip to the beach and loved it! I thought she would be scared of the water but wasn't. She was more interested in the water than playing in the sand.

Recently, Olivia started saying a phrase which we thought was "Amen". We thought this was so cute and figured she learned it at school since she is going to a private Christian-based school. Well, yesterday we actually figured out what she was really saying! For those of you familiar with Dora the Explorer, there is a fox on there named Swiper who tries to steal things. If he is not successful he says "Awww Man!". That is what she was saying....Still funny as heck but I guess she won't be saying a prayer anytime soon!

Olivia is just turning 18 months. I can't believe our little baby has turned into a walking, talking toddler with an occasional attitude...I think she needs a sibling but Brian says NO for now...I will keep working on him!

Here are some recent pics!

Actually caught her smiling while in the car in Florida.

So cute!
