Do what?

Here are some pictures of the kids taken on Easter. Sorry they are so dark, but my scanner at work won't lighten them up. Olivia was so pretty in her pink satin dress and Cooper looked like such a little man all dolled up.

Funny Story time:
Olivia went with me and Nana to Keisha's baby shower on Sunday. As I was hauling Keisha's HUGE present out the car, Olivia annouces to her "Look Keisha! You have a car seat!" I was mortified! Yeap, she blurted out what we had gotten her for her shower. What a bugger! And just this morning Olivia tells me she wants a "Dora smoking thing" for when she smokes. So I ask when she started smoking and she replies "Yesterday!" Do what? I think I'm going to have to have a talk with all the smokers (*look in Poppy's and Gamma's directions*) on that!

We're off to see Sesame Street Live tonight at the Civic Center and Olivia is super excited! We got some really awesome seats so I know she's going to have a ball!

Good child

Olivia can be so funny sometimes. The other day while we were home watching Dora, Olivia flops down on my lap and tells me that she isn't going to be bad anymore.
Me: You're not?
Olivia: Nope, I'm a good child.
Me: Yes you are.
Olivia: Mommy, Dora and Boots needs to be a good child too.
Me: Yes they do.
Olivia: Me a good child?
Me: Yes Boo Boo, you're a great child.

She had me in stiches! And then later when she was watching something on tv (Rugrats I think?), there were some kids fussing and yelling and Olivia comes over to me and tells me that they needed to learn to be good children too! How cute! My only speculation is that Miss Judy at the daycare told Olivia to stop being mean one day and be a good child. And in true Olivia fashion, she held on the information and brought it up at a later time. She's just too much sometimes!

On another note, Cooper has three teeth now! Two on bottom and one on top. My little man is growing so fast I can't believe it! He's almost mastered sitting up on his own and is now working on getting up on his knees. He may crawl soon after all!

Birthday pics!!!!

As I promised, here are a few pictures of Olivia's birthday pary! I ended up making the Dora cake and it turned out really well. It ain't professional and I almost ran out of icing on the stupid thing! But Olivia loved it so it was all worth the 2 hours it took me to ice it! Yikes! Anyways, she had a ball playing and got tons of clothes and toys that she really didn't need. She's not spoiled one bit you understand?

Happy Easter!

I know it's a day late, but Happy Easter to everyone!!! I'm attaching a few miscellaneous pictures of the kids. I should have some Easter pictures to post in a few days. The first picture is of Olivia at the zoo. She was terrified of the tiger. See how she has her head hanging down and avoiding eye contact? I guess she does pay attention when I watch the Crocodile Hunter! Ha!

The second picture is of my little man, Coopey as Olivia calls him now. He's getting so big and I can't believe he's already 7 1/2 months old! Wow! The sailor outfit was a little snug on him, but he was a good sport and cheesed for the camera a few times. He's such a good baby. The last picture is one of Livvie in her pink polka dot dress. She loves this dress! Olivia is getting so prissy these days, she always wants to wear a dress. When I snapped this picture, she was getting ready to go over to her Gamma's house to spend the day. She's such a stinker.

Married with Children

I promise to have pictures of Olivia's birthday party up by next week!

Funny story time!

I had to stay home with the kids yesterday because my van was leaking god knows what from god knows where and Al had to play handyman. So, I played my little heart out all day with Olivia and Cooper. Well, Olivia and I were in the living room watching....you guessed it....Dora! The following coversation almost sent me to the floor laughing.

Olivia: Mommy
Me: Yes Olivia
Olivia: Mommy, are you married?
Me: Do what?
Olivia: Are you married?
Me: Yes Olivia, I'm married to your Daddy
Olivia (with straight face): Oh, ok.
A few mintues pass.........
Olivia: Mommy, can I get married?
Me: Yes Olivia, when you're 25 years old
Olivia: When I get bigger?
Me: Yes Olivia
Olivia: Did you have babies crawl out your tummy?
Me: Not exactly but that describes it well.
Olivia: Can I have a baby when I get bigger?
Me: Where in the world is this coming from? Yes, you can have a baby when you're married and 25 years old.
Olivia: Ok, thank you Mommy.

Off she went focusing back on Dora and I was left there thinking "what in the world was that all about!" This is like the second time she's asked me about being married, but not in so much detail. I have no idea where Olivia Grace comes up with half the stuff that comes out of her mouth! But she definitely keeps her mommy on her toes.

Gold Digger

No, I'm not talking about Kayne West! Quick funny story Nana told me last night -

Olivia was over at Nana's house yesterday, completely zoned in on her Dora video of course. She had already been to the potty and decided she didn't need to wear her pants anymore. Olivia hates pants - she promptly removes her shoes and pants the second she hits the door. There have been times where I have tripped over her because of this! Socks come in a very close third, by the way. Back to the story - so Nana is sitting on the couch when she notices that Olivia has her hand down the back of her panties. Nana (the ever wise ole sarcastic one) asked her what she was doing. She said Olivia turned around and just as grown as she could, said "Digging for gold Nana" and turned around to finish watching her video.

How funny is that! That's what Nana gets for always asking Boo Boo if she's digging for gold when she sees her picking her nose or scratching her bottom. I swear Olivia *absorbs* every single thing that comes out of your mouth and holds it until the perfect time to use it against you! Just the other day she told us that her Poppy "beat the crap" out of her. OH MY! Now don't get me wrong, I love my child, but if you know my dad, you would know he couldn't hurt a fly. I sure hope she grows out of this stage before she starts school or DSS might be visiting my house quite a bit!

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Happy Birthday to Olivia!
Happy Birthday to Olivia!
Happy Birthday to Olivia, Happy Birthday to you!

Wow, I can't believe Olivia Grace is turning three today. It seems like just yesterday when she was being born. The first thing she did after she was born was poke her lip out like she was pouting. I have tons of pictures of her like that! If you ever thought a newborn baby couldn't pout, Olivia can prove you wrong! I thought maybe she was disappointed that I was her mommy or something! Ha!

She is getting so big and learning so much every day. I tell everyone that Olivia is three going on 16. She sure acts like it sometimes. First thing she found this morning was her present from me and her Daddy. So much for surprising her tonight! We're having Nana, Poppy, Gamma and Papa over for pizza and cupcakes to celebrate her birthday. And then on Saturday she's having the Grand Dora Party that she absolutely can't wait for. When I woke her up this morning singing Happy Birthday, she told me that she wanted to wait for her birthday until Saturday. Cute!

I love this age that Olivia is now - she's more like a little person than a baby. She's so much fun! And my little Cooper is 7 months old now - I feel so old today!
