4 Years and Counting...

So yesterday was our 4 year anniversary.  What have we been up to for the past 4 years? Hmm... well, a lot of working for the first 2 then one and a half babies for the other 2.  Not bad I'd say.
After work, Matt and I went out to dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant, "Nirvana".  So delicious! There, Matt gave me some great coupons,( you know... free foot rubs, free dinners, etc.) So awesome.  The best part is that he didn't put an expiry on them so I will redeem at my leisure.  Ha ha.
After that, we did a little shopping and got each other some new shoes.  Can't go wrong with shoe shopping.  I find it the least depressing while pregnant.  After that, we came home and I had decorated our room all fun earlier that day and made him a strawberry cheesecake.

 I went to the dollar store across the street and got some helium balloons and tied pictures of us on our wedding day at the bottom of them.  Olivia thought the balloons were the coolest thing ever!  We walked to the store and on the way back I let her carry them (tied around her wrist) and everyone was honking at us.  She thought it was so fun!! If she wasn't strapped down in her stroller, she probably would have floated away.  

The cheesecake.  Baked, of course with fresh strawberries on top.

The room again.  And yes, that is the cheesecake on the bed.   What more could you ask for?

Close up of the pics that I tied on the balloons.

So, there ya be.  That was our day.  Now you've seen my mad decorating skills.  (Ya, right.)

Here Comes Baby #2!!

So, we've been a very busy little family so far this summer! We've had Olivia's first birthday on July 1st up at the cottage which was a blast!

Then I had to go back to work part time.  I was planning on only doing a couple of days a week but we've had a slight change in plans because we are expecting baby #2!  We are so excited and thrilled about it! So I'm just trying to get enough hours in to qualify for maternity leave again in February.  The due date is the 15th of February but Matt has decided that he wants all our babies born on holidays so I need to aim for the 14th.  Ha ha! We'll see what happens.
Although we found out the gender when I was pregnant with Olivia, I sort of want this one to be a surprise.  We'll see if I can wait that long.  Matt is anxious to find out though.
Here's how we announced the pregnancy to the family.  Note Olivia's shirt;)  This is the best picture we had of her wearing the shirt. Haha!

Here's some more pics of the long weekend in August.

Matt's pretty proud of himself for winning the annual fishing festival...for the 5th time?

Easter Time

I'm so bad at this whole blogging thing.  My personal goal is to get better at it.  I'm going to start putting pics of my "Jack & Olive" products up too.
   So we went to Alberta a couple weeks ago for Grandma Miller's funeral.  Although it was sad circumstances, we still had fun seeing everyone.  That is until we got the stomach flu! Poor little Olivia had it for a whole week.  She ended up losing almost 2 pounds. It was the worst but we still managed to try to enjoy ourselves.

So here we have 2 of Olivia's cousins: Little Jane Crawford and little Eliot Smith.  They will all be best buds.

One day while in Alberta, my mom, dad, Kim, Carrie and I (and of course a few babies) decided to go to Waterton.  There was a tonne of snow! We didn't do much, so we just snapped a few pics.  It was really pretty though.

I love this picture of Olivia wearing Grandpa Miller's old pilot's hat from WWII. 

Last Few Years in a Nutshell

Ok, we've joined the world of bloggers.  Of course, when I say we I mean I.  "Blogging" isn't exactly number one of my husband's priority list.  Anyway, we are Matt, Mandy, and Olivia Fuller.  Here's a little background to tell you about our life in the past year or three. Ha ha.
Matt and I got married on Sept. 28, 2007.  I had just graduated dental hygiene school when we got married so shortly after, I started cleaning teeth.  Matt works for a financial company that his dad started up called, Canada Loyal Financial.  He enjoys working there along with his dad and other siblings.
Of course we are both from abnormally large families.  I'm one of 10 kids and Matt, one of twelve!! Yikes! Everyone, asks us how many kids we are going to have but we just give them the same answer.  We'll just start with one and go from there.  Which brings me to our next milestone.  We have one perfect little baby girl, Olivia.  We were blessed to have her join our little family on July first of last year.  Best day ever.  She's never given us any trouble and never will!! She's adorable and the best thing that's ever happened to us.  Last year was extremely busy but so much fun! It started our with a trip to Mexico! Can't go wrong with that. Then, it was just babies, babies, babies! On my side of that family there were five grandbabies born and on Matt's side there were three.  So Olivia has six cousins her same age. Woo hoo! Lucky girl.
Let's see...what else. After I had Olivia, my cousin's wife and I started making stuff for our babies and we had so much fun doing it we just couldn't stop so now we started up our own business and are selling it.  What do we make you ask?  Everything from carseat covers to nursing covers to hair accessories to wipes cases! You name it, we got it! We have a blast.
Anyways, this is my official first blog. Hopefully it won't be the last. We'll see.
