Recent Happenings At The Wolsey Household

My girls are just so much fun... most of the time. Thankfully I was able to snap a few photos of the girls in their high points... 

Like Olivia trying on daddys work boots... 



Ronald McDonald comes to mind with those GIANT shoes on my teeny little girl. She sure has a love for shoes and all things pretty.

 Olivia has turned the baby swing in the a Big girl swing... except this time around she took a liking to Evas binkie. Livie usually climbs into the swing on her own, pumps her legs to get her swinging and the spouts out "Wee... Wee..."
 With winter comes snow and with snow comes... SUPER CUTE HATS! What do you think... is she 100% Huggable or what?!

 We have been getting snow every few of days for a couple of weeks now and the snow is piling up. While Ryan was shoveling the drive way I bundled Olivia up and sent her out to help her Papa...
 She was doing great for a good long while until she grabbed the snow... and let out an ear curddling scream. Ryan rushed over to see what was wrong and she looked fine. She waddled over to Ryan with tears streaming down her face and Ryan still couldnt figure out what was wrong then she lifter her hands up to Ryan and her poor little fingers where bright red! Apparently Olivia was unaware that snow is really... REALLY cold.
 Our absurd amount of snow accumulation over the last couple of weeks... We have about a good 2 feet of snow in some places and luckily we are not in a hurry to use two of our cars...

Evelyn's 3 Month Pictures







My sweet little Evelyn is growing so fast and has started smiling, cooing, giggling, rolling over and grabbing on to things. She has such a sweet and cheerful disposition always smiling a big gummy smile.

Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas... Better Late Then Never... Right?!?!

I know... I know... I know. It is the middle of January and I am just NOW posting about Christmas. After the holidays I was ... burnt out ... to say the least. So catching up on the endless blog entries just didnt seem to rival the need for loafing around. Now that I am completely over loafing around catching up on my blog only seems natural. 


Christmas Eve was spent with the family and once the kiddos where in bed finishing up on last minute gifts and stocking stuffers followed by cuddling with the hubby filled the day. 

Matching felt flower clips for the girls...
...and a painting for the LivieBug

 Eva sporting her Christmas PJ's for her First Christmas
 Olivia helping mommy fold laundry ... yes she is wearing daddys (clean) socks on her arms...

Our Stockings... Who wants to guess what stocking is mine and what Ryan put in it?! 
 Christmas Morning!!! (Im thinking we need to upgrade to a bigger tree)
 Ry made Green pancakes for breakfast...
 & what did those green pancakes have on them you ask?! Red maple syrup of course!!
It was a delicious breakfast... best Christmas breakfast Ive ever had! 


 Olivia thought they were pretty darn good too!
 One of many gifts Santa brought me... a Bread Machine!!! Which has been used many MANY times! (Santa also brought me 2 beautiful papyrus scroll paintings that are remakes of those in the Pearl of Great Price, which you can see to the left of the picture.) 

 Ryan being a little over zealous about his new Shirt...



 Olivia helping her Daddy open more of his Christmas gifts... 


 Olivia got some super awesome quiet books ... 
 Eva got some super cute outfits...
 The girls also got blankets, which Olivia is a pretty big fan of as you can see...

They also were given some adorable ornaments from our neighbor!




After opening presents the girls went down for their MUCH needed naps and after Olivia opened her stocking and played with all of her new fun toys!



We then went to a friends house for our Christmas Dinner/Fiesta...
The two newbies of the group... Miss Eva and her friend Karly. 

Our Christmas was wonderful... best one we have had in awhile! It was such a blessing to have Ryan home for Thanksgiving, Christmas AND New Years. Thank you so much to all of our wonderful friends and family who helped make our Christmas a good one your gifts, cards and warm wishes were graciously received. Christmas of 2010 was the perfect way to end such a wonderful year!

Brandon & Rach Part Two...

While they were out here Rachael & I planned a double date and it we all had SUCH an awesome time. It was like we stepped back a few years to our newlywed phase! We decided to NOT tell the guys about our plans so when we picked up a massive pizza on our way to our destination the guys were definitely confused! We ended up at the newly remodeled and greatly added upon Bowling Alley. We played a couple games, were I to much surprise lost horribly... again. Bowling was followed by ... 




BUMPER CARS!!!! We had a BLAST... some more than others... ahem... RYAN. His super awesome driving skills definitely came in handy as he plowed through just about everyone. Me on the other hand had to get a running start but my time was mostly spent doing donuts.


 This is my favorite picture of Ryan... haha... 

We had SO much fun having Brandon & Rach out here... just what the doctor ordered! So lucky to have such wonderful friends in our lives!
