I sense something in the wind.

While in Canada, Oliver wanted to be outside like every second. He loved the sandbox and trampoline. I've decided.. once we get our farm.. in addition to a sandbox, I want to make an outdoor mudpie station. It'll just be a small long wood table top (like a bench size) with a tap that is hooked up to a rain water barrel and some shelves or boxes with tin pie pans, cups, and other fun "cooking" tools. I think it would be pretty fun.. 

Anyways big dreams to the side, here are some cutesy photos of oliver playing. He is wearing the outfit I picked out for his 2 year photos which I will be posting in the next post. Sorry not sorry double outfit posts.  

 His usual water cooking fun on the deck.

If you miss me like I miss you.

Here are the birthday party pictures for oliver and chad! Chad's party was Star Wars themed and Oliver's was fish. He loves fish. 

Love this picture, look at olivers little face looking at chad. precious 

Having the time of my life.

Oliver is officially two years old! I had big plans to take some legit photos of him for his two year photos but got a little busy and it didn't happen before his birthday. But it still is going to happen... soon. I will wait to do a little post all about him and how smart and cute he is then... so for now, just look at this super cute ones instead..

This is oliver when he is being "bucket head". Bucket head is a popular game he likes to play where he puts a bucket on his head. He has a variety of buckets he uses to be bucket head. This is one that happens to let him see while wearing it. Something I appreciate.

Just chad being cool.

For chad and olivers birthdays we drove up to Canada to spend it with family. It was a really fun trip and we even turned it into a two day drive on the way up and stayed in Duluth for the night. We got in pretty late but in the morning we walked around by the water a little. Until Oliver had a giant break down involving him going limp on the ground crying and ultra wiggly when you pick him up. We eventually got him back to the car where he calmed down then fell asleep for 3 hours. Which was wonderful.

And here is Oliver with his patient grandma right after, and a little bit during, some rain playing outside in puddles.

Got a secret can you keep it.

Here is Baby Meredith. 

Oliver calls her baby so her full name has become Baby Meredith. We like her, she's real cute. 

Knocking on a Door.

Here are some pictures from Kasey and Andre's wedding from a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun and it was great seeing Oliver hang out with everyone. Him and Lexie started off a little rough but by the end they enjoyed playing together. It was cute. Really, when I think about it, Lexie is the only other kid he's ever actually played with. :(  #antisocialparentsproblems. 

SO going a little backwards because the photos loaded from back to front, here are pictures from the reception and after the reception and some of oliver and lexie outside playing. 

Oliver fell asleep before the reception even started. It was cute. 

Now after the reception.. 

 Rebel.

 Prem was a big hit with both lexie and oliver. When we got home oliver actually was all cute and affectionate towards kitty for a couple days. Thats over now though.

 And... here are photos from the wedding in Minnie.

Oliver loved Barbara's cane and went for a little walk with it.
