Blessing Olivia

Dear Olivia's Blessing day was Sunday Nov. 6. Thanks to all our family who came near and far to be there to support us. The day was wonderful and lunch was delicious.

What can I say more about my beautiful Olivia? Except to say that I. AM. IN. LOVE!! She's the most perfect sweet girlie girl and I'm so happy to have her here. I've loved her forever and can't wait to be together for ever more. Welcome to our family sweet Miss O.














See her cute cute shoes? Auntie Sarah made those for her!! They're beautiful - thanks Sarah! Most of the Trexler side made it for her blessing and lunch, but we only got a picture with the Riley side. Sorry!
But it was a great day... We're so blessed!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween turned out really fun this year - thanks to everyone else. I'm still learning how to be a good mother - good thing I have one of my own who comes in and saves the day! Mom made Titan's costume this year, got Olivia hers and even provided the pumpkins to carve.
We started out at a Halloween carnival where the family picture turned out pretty good.

The best shot of our kiddies in their Halloween gettup.

Here's my little Lady Bug Olivia. She's so perfect. Cute as a bug I'd say!

Titan first practiced trick or treating at a trunk or treat we hit at the local grocery store. He didn't catch on to the concept til later that night, but liked eating all the treats!

Grandma Sue helped me out to make this a happy halloween for Titan who wanted to be a spider. After a quick trip to the DI, a borrowed sewing machine and a couple of swimmin noodles Mom whipped up 8 spidy legs and a way to attatch them to Titan. He loved it!

Jason was very very proud of his pumpkin this year. He didn't stop staring at it, taking pictures of it, talking about it, admiring it, loving it, ooohing and ahhhing over it.... It deserves it. Great job Jase!

Titan and I carved pumpkins together. He wanted a spider, and I did Frankie. We toasted the seeds, but T tried them out before...

We hit the best trick or treating around by accident. After Titan's "people" came to our door (and T got some treats out of his own bowl) we decided to throw our plans to the wind and join them. It was perfect! Titan caught on how it's supposed to work and most of all just liked being with the neighborhood kiddies. Only an hour out and a full bag later we were home again and all very happy.

Catching up...

Since last I posted, our #1 baby Titan turned 3 years old. I can't believe it. With Olivia just 11 days old I didn't have much planned. Until my mom made cupcakes and suggested a party with all the neighbor kids to help celebrate Titan. He loved it - being with all his "people". Titan is such a good boy and I love him very very much!!

As you can see Miss O is growing bigger. This was her first time in a dress for Sunday - I love it! She's so cute. Really. Cute.

I wanted to visit Grandma Great and introduce little Olivia to she before the cold weather and snow set in for months. Mom and Auntie Jenny invited us along, so Me, Titan and Olivia jumped in for her first trip to Canada. She crossed the border and 30 min. later turned 7 weeks old. Not bad, not bad! The week before Grammy had turned 83. Needless to say Grammy James loved her to bits. Here's our 4 generation photo: Lily, Susan Lynn, Julie Susan, Olivia Susan.

We had a great few days in Canada visiting aunties and cousies. Titan had so much fun playing with Lillie and Flaire dog. Thanks for the great trip guys!!
