Fall Family Fun Day!

Today James, Olivia, and I went to Lyman Orchards and did some great stuff.

We walked through the sunflower maze, we picked apples, we went for a hayride, and we enjoyed being outside on such a perfect fall day.

Meet Tyler Owen Greco

Friday night we celebrated Emily's birthday. Everyone also got to meet the newest addition to Kelly and Corey's family. Tyler Owen Greco~ They waited a long time for him, but just looking at him-I would say it was worth the wait. Cute!!!!!

Matt looks a little nervous at the idea of having one of these someday.

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!!

Not a dog lover

I find this so funny. My sister is not a dog lover but for some reason Presley just loves her. Every time she comes over she follows her and sits with her no matter where she is. This day she got extra cozy and decided to take a snooze. Zzzzzz........ I love you Auntie Colleen! Woof Woof!

Quinn Reese Schmidt

Quinn Reese Schmidt was born August 10th ,2009.

On one of our visits Olivia got to hold him, and ever since,

she can't stop talking about "baby Quinn".

Congratulations Willis, Megan, and big brother Logan!

What a trooper!

Friday Sept 11th Olivia underwent her 4th and final surgery for awhile.

She had a lip revision and tubes in her ears. This surgery was outpatient and we were home by mid-afternoon. She did fantastic!!! She was a real trooper and one of the bravest 2 year olds the doctor had ever witnessed. She didn't cry once going into the OR and actually sat up on the table looking at everyone and breathing into the mask until she fell asleep. Maybe this means she will be a doctor some day. Wouldn't that be great? By that night she was playing, eating, and enjoyed a mock slumber party on the living room floor with her daddy. Cute!

Made With Love

Trying to keep Olivia busy, we decided to make a special project to celebrate Grandparents day.

She decorated foam frames with different shapes and we snapped some shots of

her holding up my homemade sign. Signed, sealed and delivered. They were a hit!

Who doesn't love a homemade gift made with love?

Good Morning

This morning we woke up to the neighborhood dogs barking and this unusual sound that I knew I had heard before but was to sleepy to recognize. I pulled up Olivia's shade and this is what we saw~ It was so close we could say good morning to the people in the basket. I ran and grabbed the camera and captured it as it was descending beyond the trees. What a beautiful sight to wake up to!
