Because sometimes we need to play with 2 strollers, an Etch-A-Sketch, a magnifying glass, Legos, and a Little People farm all at the same time....

One of our favorite adventures - the Children's Museum! Today we had a love/hate relationship with the live bee exhibit. Alivia couldn't get enough of it but was scared each time she got close.

While Daddy was gone to Germany, we went on our own adventure to Grandma and Papa's. We had a lot of fun visiting many, many family members!
Aunt Lexa gives us the royal treatment - purple fingernails and toenails!!
Great-Grandma gave us a special little chair she has had for many years. In typical two year old fashion, Alivia decided she was firmly against having her photo taken. To protest, when Grandma and Great-Grandma came near her for a picture, she picked the entire chair up and moved across the room.....and continued this about 5 times. Okay Liv, you win this battle!
Grandma took us to a special park and we played until your little body was exhausted.
We took a trip to see how Great-Aunt Cheryl's ankle was healing and were able to play with Great-Uncle Kenny, Anna, and Jesse. What a fun day!
All in all, it was a fabulous adventure!

A trip to the library and 1,000 readings of "Curious George And The Pizza" later, we are inspired to create our own pizza lunches.
A New Life For An Old Blog
Well, it's been nearly two and a half years since my last post and I'm not even going to apologize! Alivia was born and life got just a little bit crazy. Crazy in the most beautiful and wonderful way but crazy nonetheless. For her second birthday, Scott put together a slideshow of our favorite pictures of her second year. As we sat watching it loop through for what must have been the fourth time, we still couldn't believe how much Alivia had changed in one year. I began to feel that guilty feeling that all moms feel....I am letting the business of life (a full time job, a new home we moved into this year, making dinner, etc. etc.) get in the way and I am not putting all of the special memories into one spot.
So, that all ends now! I have a few friends who do picture a day blogs and I LOVE following them. I have even started following some of their friends - people I have never met but now I know when their child is sick or starred in the school play or they went out for a girl's night. These blogs have become my guilty pleasure and my five minutes of mindless internet surfing every few days. I have decided that they are just what I need to record all of the fun little parts of life with a little one in the house...while she is still little! I make no promises to update it everyday or even every week. I am going to forgive myself already for that and be realistic - this will probably end around late August! What I hope to do is have a special place Alivia can visit and see just how much we love each day with her!
I have the luxury of having my summers free to spend with Alivia and she is at a very fun age to explore the world around us. I have decided that Alivia and I will go on an "adventure" as she calls them each day this summer. Sometimes they are big, exciting, pack a big bag and bring a cooler outings and sometimes they are simply a trip to the grocery store. Each one is an opportunity for Alivia to learn a little something and for her to know that she has her momma's undivided attention. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride of "Adventures With Alivia!"
