Olympia turns ONE

Olympia turned ONE on Thursday the 31st. She decided this week it was time to walk. She has 7 teeth and one on the way. She is talking up a storm (even though it is mainly baby talk) but she can say,"What's that?, Momma, Dadda, Kiki (for Kinley), OOOhhhhhh'" and a few other things I can't think of. She is a great eater and loves bananas, pirate booty, cheese and yogurt. She is sleeping mainly through the night, but loves to sleep in like her daddy. She is currently in the 60% for weight and height, weighing in at 21.9 lbs. She likes to wrestle with her big sister, walk around the house, play with her toys and snuggle. She is the best snuggler!! And, she looks very similar to me when I was little.

This past year with Olympia Winn has been our best year yet and we can't imagine life without her sweet little heart. She brings joy to each of us every single day. Her smile lights up a room and her sweet voice melts anyones heart. We love you little one and can't wait to see how you grow and change. 

Arizona, Tahoe fun and Easter

I decided it was time to take the girls to Phoenix to see their cousins. The LaDuke's hadn't been able to meet Oly yet so it was definitely time. Addie had a full house of kiddos while we were there and we made sure to enjoy every minute of the beautiful weather. It was so much fun to see the kids together. And, it was my first flight with the girls on my own. Not something I want to do a lot of, but they were great and traveled well. Thanks Addie for showing us a great time. So fun to see you and your wonderful family!

We had a great day at Mt Rose skiing, then spent the night at the lake with friends. All the kids had so much fun.

Then it was Easter. Kins got to do four Easter egg hunts over the weekend. One open to the general public at a High School, (It was a little crazy with the amount of people, not sure if we will do that again) one at our house, one at Gigi and Grampy's and one at Baba and Deed's. That Easter Bunny was a busy one hiding all of those eggs. 

Oly not too sure of the huge crowd

Kauai and 11 Months Old

Back to Hawaii for our annual trip with Baba and Djedo. Of course it didn't disappoint. Lots of swimming (McKinley learned to swim on her own), playing, sunsets, beach time, Mai Tais (for adults) and family time. Thank you Baba and Dejdo for another wonderful year in paradise. We loved it!
Airplane ride over (Nik looks happy)

Love them!
Our baby is already 11 months old. She loves to climb on the trampoline and have her big sister bounce her. She is talkative, smiley and just about to walk. She says "Hi", "Momma", "Dadda", "What't that?" and many other ramblings that sound like full sentences. She loves to hum and sing as well. She is really into waving and she wants to do everything her big sis is doing.
