Fluffy is gone

It saddens me to say that this morning we found "fluffy" dead. I can't believe how emotional I am about this and the kids are little wrecks. Right when I think the crying is done someone starts up and then before I know it everyone is crying. We had her for 2 1/2 years and she was our first pet. today will have lots of tears. so sad. . . .

Our pet "fluffy"

I just found these pictures today of fluffy (our pet bunny). The kids talked me into letting fluffy come in the house awhile back, which was fun since fluffy mostly sits there and Brett and the kids can pet her. However after 5 minutes I was done and fluffy was back outside. They were trying to teach her to get on the couch by using a pillow, and then Brett was trying to get on the couch by using fluffy as a step stool. I love our fluffy bunny but I love her even more hopping around our back yard and it it safer for her out there!!!

Brett mastering the stairs

We took the baby gates down and Brett is flying up and down the stairs. It makes me nervous still so I try to be around him and remind him to "turn around" when he comes down. I love at the end of this video his "super cheesy smile". He's doing that lately where he closes his eyes and smiles really big, it's hilarious!!!

Cabin and Snow

We went up to the cabin with our friends and had a great time. There was hardly any snow when we got there but the night before we left a storm came in and dumped snow. It was so pretty and the kids had a ball. Olivia when she saw the snow said,"Did santa bring me some presents?" A great trip away!!!

Hangin' in the basket

I love that Livi Lou and Brett and starting to play together. Olivia just loves playing with him and making him laugh. Brett thinks EVERYTHING Olivia does is hilarious and so he is constantly laughing which makes me smile!!! I took these pic's a couple weeks ago (pre - Livi haircut) they were watching t.v in the clothes basket and cracking up at eachother.

Olivia had quite the day today. First we went to the hospital to get her cast taken off. Everything looked great but they fitted her with a temp cast that she can take on and off. Her skin was so dry and itchy but she was glad to have it off. As I'm typing this she is in the bathtub soaking and playing. The only annoying thing was bathing her and making sure it didn't get wet. Other than that she never complained, in fact she figured out pretty early on that it is hard and can be used as a weapon against the older kids, nice.

After the Dr. we went to get her hair trimmed. However when we got there she was insisting on getting it shorter like the girls so we did. It is adorable and I love it!!!

This afternoon she had a birthday party with some little friends and had a great time.

Olivia's haircut

When I took Olivia in for a haircut she said she wanted it shorter like her 2 sisters. So Kelli took off about 6 inches of her blonde beautiful hair. She looks adorable and I'm so glad we cut it.

Olivia's party

Olivia finished the day with her birthday party. Isn't her hair just so cute!!! I made her a pink cake and she then added some little pet shops on it, VOILA!!! Her and her friends jumped on the tramp filled with balloons, played on the swing set and had alot of fun. It was a beautiful day today so we were able to have the party outside. Olivia is such a sweet girl and I'm glad she had a fantastic birthday!!!
