Memories that warm up my brain

Dear Olivia,

 Here are 2 years of photos and quotes you have blessed us with.  10 years old has been my favorite age for you so far, and I love watching you blossom into a lovely lady.  Some of these quotes were probably closer to when you were 7 and you have too many quotes for me to write down.  I love your sense of humor.

The skirt you made with grandma

"I love grandma's voice, it warms me up and warms up my brain."

"That just made my day.  In a good way."

I have no photos of this, but you and Cate made a dandelion ice pack in the freezer.  

Super creative!

First day of 4th grade.  You love Ms. Yepsen

 "If I had a weiner dog, I would name it Charlie.  Or Linda."

"Cate you need to share."

"Well, you didn't."

"Well that doesn't make it right."

"There's a fly in here.  If only I was a frog."

"Look mom, it's dripless.  I made up that word I think."

I used to tell you people had babies after they got married.  

One day your mind was really going...

"If horses can't get married, how can they have babies?  And what about penguins?  I've never seen them walk around in a wedding dress..."

"That playdough doesn't taste too bad."

"Olivia, did you eat playdough?"

"There must have been some on my lips or something.

"Olivia are you hungry?"

"If I was gonna eat a giant pickle I would be hungry."

The day of your baptism.  

Such a blessing to me to hear your the story of how your walk with the Lord began.

"I'm so hungry I could eat a cow if it was made out of pickles."

"We did a parachute at church today."
mom: "I loved parachutes when I was a kid."

"They must have been black and white then."

If I can find the baby picture of you with the purple background, I'll need to insert it HERE.  

You saw this photo and said, "Where was I?  A purple place?"

I love you!
mom
