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.

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!

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 :(

Happy Saint Patrick's Day from Olivia

Yes I am sure you can see that I have still not fixed my good camera. So please excuse these pictures that were captures with my phone this month.

It was a beautiful afternoon at the Huntington Gardens, breath taking!

Having fun making duck soup.

It was a very cute mess!

Cheese!  And then we cleaned up!

Looking cute for school with my sisters hat.

Lily and Audrey had fun in the kitchen on a Saturday night!

Mommy I found your red acrylic paint...

What a big girl...and check out my shoes!!  Olivia loves the sparkles on her kicks!

Breakfast with Mickey at the Patterson J Kincaid LA showroom.  We are going to Kill it!  LOL!I have been working on this collaboration at work for the past 3 months.  This event was the kick off for LA market.  Here I am with Jane, Mickey, Carter and Cara.

Bailey got a new crate this week...Audrey thinks it is the perfect play house!

March already?

Has it really been over a month since my last post?  I am trying to promise myself that I will continue to keep up this blog as the girls get older.  My camera charger stopped charging about a month ago and I have been to busy with life to take it in. Maybe I will put it on the list for Saturday.  Here are some fun pictures from the past few weeks that I snapped on my phone.

 Joe and Olivia are getting some cuddle time in.  She is most likely trying to hide from the dog.  We love Bailey but her puppy attitude get to be a bit much for the girls.

 Bailey is looking cute and growing up fast.  This was her 4th week at puppy school.

 She just wants treats!

 Olivia and Audrey got a treat after haircuts a few weeks ago!

 Olivia showing off her new do!

 I move chocolate!

 Smiling for the camera!  Gummy bears and nerds are her favorite toppings!

Gotta love this girl!

Welcome Bailey

Joe and I decided that it was time to get Audrey the dog that she has been asking for.  Last Friday I left work early drove down to Temecula to pick out a dog for the family.

This little fur ball is going to grow up to be over 120 pounds.  Bailey is a  Saint Bernard puppy who was born on November 1, 2010.  She was the calmest pup of the litter.  Bailey was perfect on the 2 1/2hour dive home, she did not leave the front seat once.  

Bailey was super shy when she came home.  She crawled up next to the couch to protect herself for the first few days.  I bet she will be bummed when she is too big for her safe spot from the girls.

The girls were so excited on Saturday morning , they were both up before 7am!

Olivia and Audrey smothered the puppy with toys, while she was trying to get in a nap.

Look at the girls smiling!  They are so in love, all 3 of them!

 Audrey had fun celebrating the new year!

 Olivia was a big help cleaning up after our new year's eve party

My girls chilling and enjoying the holiday.

Christmas 2010

The girls are growing up so fast...Olivia is looking like a big girl now filling her crib while she sleeps.  When I walk into her room in the morning she always greets us with a heart filled "hhhi" along with a sheepish grin.
Christmas was so much fun this year. We spend the holiday in San Diego with Grandma Kathie, Aunt Jen and Gabby.

Christmas Eve Olivia was all dressed up in a new red number.  This was a recent gift from one of Audrey's friends who could no longer fit into it.
