Olivia's 1 Year Pictures

I finally took Olivia's 1 Year Old pictures. I am going to post several times so that I can fit in lots of pictures for the grandparents to see. :) I am not a photographer but I thought some of these turned out decent...next time I'll take help with me.

Update

I thought that I should update everyone. We did take Olivia to the ENT and the doctor put her on a different antibiotic. After discussing her situation with him, we felt very comfortable with our decision. We are praying that this is the end of it all but we also know that fall/winter brings lots of allergies and congestion. Olivia is such a happy baby. She always smiles, laughs, plays, and just enjoys everything that is going on around her. She is such a joy to our whole family. My favorite thing is to watch how the boys take care of her. In their eyes, she can do no wrong.
Also, we took Josiah to the ENT. We were concerned about his hearing because he talks so loud and doesn't seem to hear us at times. The verdict: He is just loud and he just doesn't listen. He cracks us up!

On another note, I know that I still have not made the blog private. I'm holding out hope that my mystery reader will come clean. SO, to my mystery reader, if you are from Pompano Beach or anywhere close to Pompano Beach (Daytona will even work!!!), will you please email me at: ikejoe@hotmail.com. :) I'm glad you read...if you are a good person!!!

I always make them get close. They don't usually put their cheeks together.

I think this picture is sweet.

Ha ha! Jay ended up on the phone with both of his parents (his parents were in different places) at the same time. I had to snag a picture.

Haircuts

Today I took the boys to get haircuts. The place that we go to had a lot of fun things going on. They had $5 hair cuts and cute kid activities. They had face-painting, balloon animals, train rides, and lots of other things.

Here are Isaac and Josiah showing off their balloons and paintings. Isaac had a dolphin on his arm and Josiah had a bear on his cheek. Isaac got a sword and Josiah got a dragon balloon (the wings popped before we got home).

Josiah told the lady he wanted a bear on his cheek and she did a double take. When he says "bear", it sounds like "beer". ha ha

Ike wanted a dolphin nose, too.

Olivia slept until 10:00 so she did not join us. She had some fun daddy time. :)


Tonight we were invited to dinner with the Hammrick's. Mr. Hammrick is on staff with Jay and they really have a great time together. We had a wonderful evening with them and 6 of their 7 kids (their oldest was away for the weekend). I love being around large families because it is always so laid back and lots of stuff going on. As we were leaving, their youngest fell down and busted his little head open. He was okay and back in bed (with glue instead of stitches) before our kids were even in bed! :) God has surrounded us with so many wonderful families/friends.
