Dear Olivia,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>

It's time to play blog-catch-up for about a year and a half. <br />
<br />
As a time-reference, these are all pre-Disney experiences of your life. Because Disney World probably changed all of our lives in a small way (not to be dramatic), but more to come on that later!<br />
<br />
These are more your everyday, quarky things, the reasons I love being your mom...<br />

We wanted to tell you how much fun we had with you while you came over!<br />

Olivia USUALLY NEVER does puzzles. <br />
Only with Alaina, and only when we're blizzarded inside.<br />
<br />

Kind of fun to cozy up in jammies.<br />
<br />

Alaina and Paige were built-in babysitters and Simon loved the attention.<br />
<br />

<br />
This photo was triggered by a selfie which was sent from Cancun from YOUR parents on the beach-to which Olivia yelled-"No Fair!" (Just because it's like a blizzardy 15 degrees here.)<br />
<br />
Sooo...some of the cousins opted for swimwear, sunglasses, and moon sand to stage a beach. <br />
We pretended like we were at the beach and I think Olivia really thought she was at a beach.<br />
<br />

Cate knew she wasn't at the beach, but couldn't have been happier...<br />
she LOVES being with her cousins.<br />

And Alaina picked the bottle caps candy, with the wax tops you bite off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't know they still made those.</div>
<br />
Then we saw your uncle Matt and Olivia goes "That guy looks JUST like Uncle Mark!"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We are so thankful we got to have you for a few days! <br />
Next time we'll get your parents to take us on a trip with them...Oh yeah, it will be Florida! <br />
It will be more like nana and papa taking us all on a trip with them...With the whole V family, can't wait:)<br />

Dear Olivia,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has been my favorite age for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6 has been great because you're developing that silly humor and growing in Christ at the same time.</div>

Practice:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You decided you would demonstrate a Cambodian dance to your homeschool group. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The presentation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, you showed the group where Cambodia is on the globe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then...no dance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Mom, you dance."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
umm, no. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dear Olivia,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Your favorite question to ask people is "What do you want to be when you grow up?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(Even if we're already grown-ups).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You love making sick people feel better and talking about birthday parties. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which means when you grow up, you'll either be a doctor or a party-planner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We spent Thanksgiving with your cousins...we missed Alaina because she was sick:( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was a play, performance, lots of singing and giggling, in matching jammies from nana and papa.</div>

According to you, the baby is a boy and his name will be Ramone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ramone is the name of the cat on a cartoon, Peg Plus Cat, which we never watch.</div>

This has been our favorite summer with you! The next blog will be about that.<br />
<br />
Today I am writing your thoughts on life, because if I don't, I will forget.<br />
<br />
On Mother's Day (After giving me a card and I unwrap your gift and we hug):<br />
Daddy: "Who's the best mommy in the world??"<br />
You: "Aunt Kathy?"<br />
<br />
On naming things:<br />
Frog's name=Kermis<br />
Pet rock=Aaron<br />
Olivia, what's your doll's name?<br />
Salad-a (Familiar word plus your own ending).<br />
Piano-dy<br />
<br />
On strawberry shortcake Underwear:<br />
"mom, they match than the movie"<br />
<br />
On wedgies:<br />
"why do my undies keep going up?"<br />
<br />
On bridges:<br />
"mom there's a bridge. is this a bridge? now are we on a bridge? are there cars under the bridge? mom? mom? mom? mooooooooom? is this another bridge?" <br />
(REPEAT from Altoona to West Des Moines.)<br />
<br />
On losing Snoop:<br />
"oh no. My dog is lost and gone forever. I guess we will have to get another dog. Probably a purple poodle this time." <br />
(We found him so you will have to wait on your purple poodle.)<br />
<br />
On black baby boys:<br />
"mom, could we trade Cate? I want a boy instead."<br />
"No, we can't trade babies."<br />
"then can we go to heaven to get a boy? I want a black one."<br />
<br />
On being black:<br />
"I'm not black, but I'm tannish."<br />
<br />

<br />
I am writing to you both on Olivia's blog because I know baby V is very dear to Olivia's heart. <br />
<br />
On February 6, mommy and daddy found out we would be having another baby to love. First we told Olivia. Olivia wanted to know if it could be a boy. Also, could he be black?<br />
<br />
Mommy felt very sick for awhile, but then I didn't feel sick anymore. So we went to the doctor for an ultrasound. Cate sat on my legs while we watched. Then, the room became very quiet. Our ultrasound tech stammered for words and Cate looked up at me with her big eyes, then rested her head in my lap. Olivia quickly forgot what we were watching and listening for, and started asking the tech questions. "Are you the doctor?"<br />
<br />
Olivia, for weeks it seemed you forgot all about the baby in mommy's tummy.<br />
<br />
Until today.<br />
<br />
"Mommy, can I have a baby brother?"<br />
You have a baby sister instead.<br />
"Do boys cost too much money?"<br />
We just have the girls God gave us.<br />
"Where did the baby go from your tummy?"<br />
Well sometimes babies go straight to heaven instead of being born.<br />
"Did the baby died?"<br />
Olivia, when you were a baby you grew bigger. This baby didn't get bigger, but the little baby went to heaven.<br />
"Oh. I want to go there too."<br />
<br />
Olivia and Cate, there is nothing I want more for you than to have Christ be the Lord of your lives. Dad and I pray this salvation and eternal peace for you every day. <br />
<br />
Then, when we get to heaven, we can all meet this little black brother of yours;)<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
mom<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Go under water</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things you do:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Tell kids they're your friends, before you know their names.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Chase kids, whether they like it or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(One day you chased a little girl and she turned around and said "Don't chase me ever. You're not my friend." I didn't want to take sides, but I wanted to step in and tell her she's missing out on a very consistent and predictable friend.)</div>

Dear Olivia,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The following is a collection of your greatest hits:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To the tune of Mickey Mouse clubhouse Hot Dog song: "Hot god, hot god, hot diggity god." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not your typical worship song;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To the tune of In Christ Alone: "I don't want my magic wand to break."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, oooooh my soul, worship His Holy Name!" This is the song you sang at the library as loudly as you could, right before you had a huge temper tantrum, screaming your head off and making me chase you down the hallway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The following is an example of things you say:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
me: "what is that letter, Olivia?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you: "it's a, um, a diddy"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
that means you have no clue what it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
me: "ok Olivia, how do you say 'shoes' in spanish?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you [confidently]: Shoozeeta!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
wearing bow: "I be Paige!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
wearing cute dress: "I Alaina!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"will we see uncle Markus?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"I go school when I bigger?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"yep, you'll go to school when you're bigger."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"ok, I bigger!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you: "mommy, can I say you stink?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
me: "no Olivia, it's not nice to tell ppl they stink, it could hurt their feelings."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you: "ok, mommy. I won't say you stink like stinky poop."*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
*just to clear up any uncertainty of odors, and to protect mommy's insecurity, there was a trash can of diapers behind you;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Aunt Amber and you started these conversations initially, with pink vs. red nail polish debates.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
amber: "it's pink." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you: "no it's red."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
amber: "pink."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you: "it's pink."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
amber: "no, red."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(repeat, repeat, repeat)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then you turned this into a daily conversation piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
you: "mommy, you da boy gabba gabba."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
me: "no, YOU da boy gabba gabba."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(repeat, repeat, repeat)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is what we do while other kids are doing pre-school.</div>

<br />
I'm not sure where to start so let's start with your senses. Your mom told me your senses are strangely strong. Your taste buds are acutely aware. Your ears could hear a silent dog whistle. Your nose KNOWS. And you don't forget anything. Ever. ;)<br />
<br />
Our conversation as I'm making orange chicken, a risky new recipe:<br />
Alaina: Something stinks.<br />
Alaina: What stinks?<br />
Alaina: It's smelling up the whole house.<br />
Alaina: I'm breathing through my mouth since I can't breath through my nose.<br />
So you can imagine my surprise when you wanted seconds! I considered that a victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
We also went to storytime at the library today. In 4 miles you asked 4 times, "are we there yet?" Then you and Olivia set your mats RIGHT next to each other and were buddies the whole time.<br />
<br />

Dear Olivia,<br />
<br />
There's not much of anything sadder than seeing my sweet "big girl" sick on her birthday. Especially when we've talked this day up for a very long time.<br />
<br />
<br />
me: "olivia, when's your birthday?"<br />
you: "after christmas!"<br />
So when christmas was over, your birthday could not come soon enough!<br />
<br />
Today at the doctor, you got your finger poked, they used an old fashioned Bugs Bunny bandaid that looked expired, and swabbed your nose boogers to test for influenza. To reward you and torture me, they gave you a sucker which always gets at least 3 objects sticky and there is never a place to throw away the stick.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, you have not been able to help with Cate in any way, and the two of you have only been able to look at each other from a distance. <br />
<br />
To make things worse, you were sick on Christmas too.<br />
<br />
To make things better, I think of Psalm 103...<br />
Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.<br />
<br />
One day kind of recently, mommy woke up and realized her heart was selfish and needed to be fixed. <br />
That's because I saw how kind and helpful all our family has been to us. We love 'em all!<br />
<br />
Anyway, we'll try a birthday re-do after you're better!<br />
<br />
love,<br />
mom<br />

Dear Olivia,<br />
<br />
Sunday night I had a class at the hospital, so I left instructions for dad to take you to church for dress-up night. When I came home, you had bigger muscles than me, my eye-liner on your cheeks, and the cutest Urlacher I've ever seen.<br />
<br />

<br />
Friday dad went to the men's retreat so we had a day together at the orchard with our church friends. <br />
<br />
You were in a good mood MOST of the day, except when you got bit by the billy goat, fell off a block of wood, tripped on a crack, slipped on the bridge, and thought the tractors were too noisy. <br />
<br />
We also went down a slide that was fast enough to induce labor so we only did that once. <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
mom<br />

Ever since you've fallen off your bike (twice), you've been too scared to ride. So I got a purple helmet to help with that. Now you look professional, but still too scared to actually peddle. We're working on that!</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Your dad and I went on a vacation to San Diego while you stayed with your aunt Amber. We are so thankful for aunt Amber taking you (and Snoop!) for almost a week...I don't think you missed us any more than Snoop did. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We had such a fun time, it's hard to expain how quiet it seemed without having a two-year-old repeating "poopy" all day. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Our hotel swimming pool. Would have been fun to swim in, except we got sunburns at the beach and were so scalded we didn't really want to swim. So we played checkers by the pool and people-watched.</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The outdoor Allison Krauss concert was at our hotel next to the pool, but we didn't want to pay $200 to go. So we went to the pool, hid in the bushes and took pictures of Krauss during the concert. Security found us in the bushes and asked if we wanted to go to the concert. Then he gave us 2 free tickets. Olivia, someday you will read this and think what nerdy, frugal parents you have. At least we're happy nerds!</span></div>

<br />
<br />
This may sound like a lame excuse since you don't know what a jump drive is, but mommy's jump drive has been broken for months so I haven't blogged since before your birthday. It's never as fun to blog without photos so I'll use some from the archive.
<br />
<br />
Your frequently used words:<br />
Poopy
<br />
OK?
<br />
Kenny
<br />
<br />
You got in trouble a couple weeks ago for saying "poopy" too much. This is because you said "poopy" when you didn't poop maybe 40 times, maybe more, but not less than 40 times. "Poopy" has been used as a ploy to get out of mealtime, get attention, bored, or when you toot. That's why a minimum of 2 minutes on the potty chair is required for "poopy" follow-through.
<br />
<br />
I can't stay mad at you for long because you are such a tender-hearted little person and anytime someone gets an ouchie, you ask, "OK? OK? You OK?" until we say we're ok. It's hard to believe that you ever hit/clawed/punched other kids, and I'm so glad that phase is over!
<br />
<br />
The last couple of weeks you have been saying "Kenny" very persistently.
"Kenny. Kenny! Kenny?".
We don't watch Southpark, so I really didn't know which Kenny you were referring to. Finally you combined two of your favorite words, "Poopy Kenny?" And I realized you were asking for candy after a poop. Of course Kenny means candy!
<br />
<br />
Which means when mommy has a baby in November, if it's a boy we won't name him Kenny! This was very exciting news for all of us, and now you're announcing to family and friends, "Baby mommy tummy."
I hope we're ready for all this newborn stuff again. As your aunt Melanie says, "you never feel ready!"<br />

I haven't blogged for a long time. Maybe it's because I've been picking up your plastic fruits and vegetables, cleaning up poop that ALMOST made it to your new potty, disinfecting toothbrushes you leave around the house...and just being entertained by you in general.<br />
<br />
To sum up 2011, it was one of the happiest years of mommy's life because I got to spend most of it with YOU. Work=overrated! We also got to move closer to family! We love love love our church and as soon as you stop hitting the other kids, I'm sure they will love you too:) <br />
<br />
I haven't been around enough kids to know if all toddlers ramble off every word they know and turn it into a sentence...but conversations with you are very interesting.<br />
<br />
"Nana papa mama dada nana mama papa mama dada cookie NO"<br />
possibly means: "mom and dad won't give me a cookie, but nana and papa would if they were here."<br />
<br />
We got lots of fuzzy pictures from Christmas so we don't have a super good representation of the family. Your cousin Paige got a camera that is nicer than ours (plus hers is pink), so it's probably time for an upgrade! Oh well, here's what we got from fall/winter 2011:)<br />

<br />
Last night as I put you down, you repeated everything I said. <br />
Me: "night night livey"<br />
You: "night night livey"<br />
Me: "luv you"<br />
You: "loo oo"<br />
Me: "see ya later"<br />
You: "BOO."<br />
<br />
Little did we know, as you'd been silently sucking your fingers, observing, and letting us do most of the talking for 2 years...now you're my chatty bug. <br />
Your vocabulary continues to surprise us all...<br />
Now you love to talk about your toothbrush, and talk to your toothbrush.<br />
You tell yourself, "no, no, no" when you are super-tempted to do something naughty.<br />
"Ah go??" = where did everybody go?<br />
"kooky"=cookie<br />
Aunt Amber is "Ammoh," not to be confused with red, fuzzy "Emmo."<br />
At halloween, you said thank you ("shay shoe") for the first time.<br />

I love that you and your cousins are hawkeye fans and you have no idea who Ferentz is, or how overpaid he is. I also love that you can giggle non-stop with your cousins, no matter who wins or loses. <br />
