Our sweet Olivia Grace was born. I cannot even believe our baby girl is 5 years old now. She has such a friendly, outgoing spirit and is so helpful when someone needs something or is hurt or sick. She loves to make us laugh and has been since she was 6 months old!! She has an enormous appetite to learn and is constantly asking questions. The other day we were driving and the car was unusually quiet. I asked Liv what was wrong. She said, "Mama. I don't have any questions!" This came as quite the surprise for both of us!! We are so very proud of our sweet Olivia Grace. Happy Birthday to you!!

We went in for a routine prenatal visit on Olivia's 2nd birthday and ended up getting to meet our handsome Jackson Bradley. He is all we could have possibly wanted in a little boy. He is so adventurous!! He loves to explore, climb, throw, and collect!! He has always had the sweetest, most laidback disposition. For the first two years of his life he almost always had a smile on his face!! His favorite word is "cackabobo." We still aren't quite sure what that means but it makes him laugh so we'll keep it in the family vocab. It can be used in any context. For example, "Good night, Jackson. I sure love my sweet boy." "Good night, Mama. I sure love my cackabobo." Or, "Jackson what would you like to do today?" "I think we should go to cackabobo's house." Jackson, we love having you for our little boy!! Happy Birthday.

Jackson showing Gramma his "loot" from the pinata at their hero and princess birthday party. Jackson said his favorite part of the birthday was the pinata. :)
This was Jackson and Olivia doing their, "It's your birthday, shake your bootie" dance. It is so fun having them share a birthday! I guess this last one says it all. :)
