Shaving, Soccer, and More!

My mom got JJ a Spiderman shaving kit,
and he absolutely loves it!
He likes having you feel his 
smooth cheeks after he's done.
 Olivia was very curious about it!
 We signed JJ up for two different preschool clinics
at the Y.  We were originally signed up for basketball 
and baseball, but when we went to the first
basketball clinic, they told us that there
were not enough kids signed up so 
we switched to soccer instead.
We didn't take any pics at baseball, 
but we will next time!
Olivia had a blast running around in the field
and watching all of the kids!
 Trouble!
 JJ is always really excited about his things he 
makes at school!
The other day they made these little ladybug hats,
and he was so excited to wear it home,
but it ripped as soon he we got in the car
when I was trying to take his picture in it!
 JJ had fun swimming and playing
baseball at John's parents' house
over Memorial Day weekend:
 JJ and Olivia recently had an overnighter
at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
They had a lot of fun!
Fishy Sissy
This little boy loves baseball stuff and 
the color red!
 Our sweet little Olivia Rose
just had her 15 month check-up.
She weighs 27 lb and is 33 in long.
She's getting quite a little personality!
Olivia's been crossing her arms a lot lately!

Pretty Purple Flowers and More!

 John and the babies got me some
beautiful flowers for Mother's Day!
I always see this pretty flower that 
blooms in spring during walks in our
neighborhood.
I can't wait to plant and it
see the blooms grow next year!
 All the babies on Mother's Day:
I also got a new hydrangea!
This is going to be my third attempt
to get a hydrangea to grow in 
our yard.  I haven't had the best luck
with them, but hopefully
the third time will be a charm!
These are by far the most 
beautiful flowers ever!
Last year I planted this clematis around our mailbox.
I'm really happy with how it's
doing so far this year!
JJ and Olivia love to sing and dance!
 Dr. JJ has been taking care of 
his animals at Grandma's.
Olivia is getting to be such a big girl!
She wants to be big like her brother.
She always gets up on the step stool
and tries to brush her teeth 
and wash her hands at the sink.
 She loves helping!
Olivia is starting to say a lot.
She says a lot of people's names.
She says "thanks" when you give her something.
She says all done after meals.
She can repeat almost anything!
Last night after dinner she said
"soccer ball."
She loves saying "princess" when we
get out her castle.
 Olivia had an ear infection and 
was running a 101 temp for a few days 
last week, but is doing better now.
 She wants to ride a bike like JJ:
 They love doing chalk together:
 Olivia loves to play peek-a-boo,
be tickled, and chased!
 We celebrated Sadie's 1st birthday
over the weekend:
