Happy 8th Birthday Olivia!

Can't believe my Olivia is 8 years old.  Such a joy she has been.  As you can see she has an electrifying smile.  She had plenty of help opening gifts from her little sisters.  She got some fun goodies, her main present is a trip to Chicago this upcoming weekend with my mom and Mandy to the American Girl store to get a doll.  She is so excited.  My mom got the kids moustaches and provided great laughs.  The kids loved wearing them.

Goodbye Bugsy

Emma's pet guinea pig Bugsy had to be put down this week due to a tumor that she had.  It was our first pet death and everyone did ok.  We buried her out at my dad's and had our first pet funeral.  I figure it's a rite of passage!  Anyway, she was a cute little bugger and will be missed....mostly. :)

No trip to Dundee is complete without Cabela's!!

Before we left Dundee we had to make a stop at Cabela's.  Kids loved seeing the animals in there and their aquarium was fun for them, too.  Cheap fun! :)

A night at Splash Universe

We took the kids to Dundee one night and spent the night at the Holiday Inn/Splash Universe waterpark.  Kids had a blast.  It was fun to watch how fast Abby jumped right in and never stopped going down the kiddie slide.  The kids had a blast.
