Easter 2011

The Ward family celebrated Easter 2011 in El Cajon.  Audrey and Olivia had a fun weekend and enjoyed spending time with their Grandma Kathie.  This morning they were very excited to open their Easter baskets.  This was just the beginning of the excitement for the day.  

Wasting time with cousin Izzy, Audrey and Olivia tried on thier new sunglasses.

Audrey and Izzy were sharing hugs!

Olivia was trying to steal the show, hanging out in her pajamas all morning.

After breakfast we went to Lake Murray for a picnic. Joe had so much fun today snuggling with his girls.

Olivia having fun in her dress.

Here is my semi blond daughter...

 Joe was walking Reservoir Dog style with the 3 girls, Izzy, Audrey and Olivia

There was so much room to run and have fun!

 Audrey and her cousin Izzy

All  of the girls changed out of their fancy dresses and put on play clothes to enjoy the afternoon.  

After our picnic lunch the Easter Bunny "hopped on by" while the girls were busy playing. He left plenty of eggs for the girls to hunt.

Audrey has so much fun!

Olivia did too!  :)

But Olivia was also trying to scoop up her eggs with a shovel.  SUPER cute

After the egg hunt we tried for a group photo with Grandma, this was the best of 25ish

Having fun in the sand!

No one wanted to look at the camera!

Olivia was on a sugar high!

Can you tell??  After this photo she tripped and fell :(

Good Times

The Ward family has been having fun this summer. Here are some pictures that we have taken on several different occasions.

Olivia was having a blast at Eagle Rock Rec Center.  She loves the swings!

We went to San Diego at the end of July to visit our friends who were out on vacation from Detroit.  Audrey was in a great mood that day and gave me this crazy smile.

We spent the morning at Scripps Aquarium in La Jolla, it was beautiful.

The three girls were never really in sync, but there is a picture (the best one) of all of them; Julia, Audrey and Olivia.

Joe and Olivia  take a minuite to pose for a picture.

 I think it was funny face day for Audrey.  ha!

The girls loves looking up into the big tank.

Julia likes looking cool for the camera

Another day, another adventure....BATH TIME!

It is Olivia's favorite time of the day!

Audrey usually has a great time too.  Unless it is time to wash her hair.  

Last night after bath time Olivia was posing inside the otttoman

Olivia is so proud of herself lately for finding her belly button.  It is the highlight of my night after a long day at work.

Play Time at Eagle Rock Rec Center

Yesterday I took the girls to the Thursday afternoon all ages playgroup at Eagle Rock Rec Center.  Audrey quickly informed me that she needed to swing. Surprise, surprise...as soon as 2 swings opened up my girls were game!

Audrey and Olivia have so much fun together on the swings!

Olivia reminds me of my brother here.  He has a similar baby picture somewhere in my moms photo books.

She was having so much fun!  Can you tell?

Olivia is my happy baby!  I love that she looks so different than her older sister!

Audrey & Ameile are great friends!  They ran away from mom and shared their snack!  So cute!  I had to use the zoom on this one!

After leaving the park mom needed to stop at the market for dinner.  Audrey has a complete breakdown at the check out stand the the cashier was scared. He quickly gave Audrey not one, but two balloons to calm her down.  But when Olivia began playing with them Audrey only screamed louder.  I think I may have been the first woman ever to leave Trader Joe's with 3 balloons!  This was Olivia's first experience with balloons and she loved every second of it!
