Our little Olivia Kate turned 5 today! I can still remember in detail that day five years ago when she came into this world and into our family. It was such a surreal feeling realizing that Brad and I were now parents. We were now totally responsible for the little munchkin we were holding in our arms. Little did we realize that gone were the days of sleeping in, of jumping in the car and going anywhere on a whim and gone were the diaper free days. BUT, we wouldn't change any of it! We are grateful for Olivia and her sisters... But, since this day is all about Olivia, so is this post.

Olivia is a five year old that talks like she's 16. Sometimes she ACTS like she's 16 too. She really likes to know WHY everything happens and HOW it happens. She loves playing with her Tagen and her friends, loves preschool, loves to draw, loves to sing and loves to push my buttons. She LOVES anything dealing with princesses and ponies and rainbows. She's my "need to know" child... meaning she thinks she needs to know everything going on around her. She's creative, imaginative, dramatic, funny and smart. She has a memory that never forgets ANYTHING. She proved that by telling us what we had for lunch LAST general conference.... in October. She has an innate sense of direction. She's determined, persistent, passionate and focused. When she has her mind set on something, there is very little that will deter her. Her qualities will take her far in life and we are excited to see where she ends up. But for now, we will enjoy her being five and watching her learn new things each day. She's excited to start kindergarten in the fall and I know she will excel in that environment. We are so grateful to have her in our family. She is a joy and a blessing in our lives.
Happy Happy Birthday
Princess Olivia!
We Love You!

Fun post to see the progression of this sweet girl! Brittney walked up to the computer while I was reading below the current picture of Olivia and said, "Mom, who's that? She looks like you." Hmmm...that was fun!
