Birthday season is upon us. It seems like once we hit July - we have a party every weekend for all of Olive's little friends. The firetruck was a pretty big hit with the kiddies. Buster especially loved it. That kid is obsessed with anything that has wheels or an engine!

Olive Update
In a few weeks our little baby is going to start her new school. I know I say this all the time - but I honestly can't believe how fast time is moving! She is going to be 5 in a few months and by the time I blink again - she will be 15. I am truly amazed at what a sweet, kind, and lovely child she is. I'm crossing my fingers that we will bypass the "crazy teenage years". Only time will tell….
UPDATE
- Lost her first tooth. We thought it was because she hit it on her bathtub, but her new tooth is
almost in!
- Has another tooth that is wiggly. This one is located right near the one she lost!
- Had an epic meltdown last week. Literally had never, ever, ever seen her in such a state. I'm not sure if it was because it was her last day of kindergarten, she was hungry, or she just couldn't calm herself down. Whatever the case - I hope we don't have to experience anything like that again! (for the record - she totally bounced back after we hugged it out)
- Loves her new room but says she really wished "the playroom was attached like our old house".
- Her favorite song is 'Fight Song' by Rachel Platten.
- Has moved on from little kid books to big kid books. Currently we are reading 'The Tail of Emily Windsnap'. We do a chapter a night and she LOVES it.
- Can swim from the shallow end to the deep end of the pool.
- Still loves to draw and sometimes I'm AMAZED at how good she is.
- Has added french toast and plums to her food intake.
- No longer wants to be a marine biologist. She wants to be a vet now so she can "take care of very important animals".
- Has the cutest bunch of freckles on her nose and cheeks.
- Her favorite colors are blue, pink, and red.

DIY - Ikea Bookshelf
Andrew's birthday is quickly approaching and I wanted to get him a beautiful custom bookshelf for our bedroom. Unfortunately his standards are pretty high - and we haven't been able to find one that we both like. Having one custom made is also problematic because it can be very expensive. And what if we don't like the finished product?!?!
Today I was researching online and an ikea hackers website popped up with a really cool looking low bookcase that is easy to make! Click here to see how.
I showed Andrew and he agreed it would be fun to try and do this together. I promise to post lots of pictures of us attempting to make this!
Auntie Karrie Comes to Visit
Two weeks ago my sister came down to visit us. We were going to have a small dinner party at our house with some friends, but the rain put a damper on our BBQing plans. Instead - we went out to dinner and had a fun Los Angeles adventure. It's apparent that my sister LOVES my husband.

Peek-a-boo
A few weeks ago Buster and I checked out Peekaboo Playland right around the corner from our house. It's an indoor playground that's right near Olive's new school. I figure Buster and I can go some mornings after dropping her off. While we there - we ran into Harper and Holdyn!

Pool Party!
A few weeks ago we had a BBQ/Pool party at the new house. The weather was perfect and the kids loved getting in the water. We couldn't get Olive out - she was in the pool all day!
