To Eternity & Beyond

Our family was sealed together on September 5, 2009.


When Gabriel walked in to the sealing room he went. "Mom! What are you doing here?" He and Genevieve were absolutely precious in their white clothes. Margarette made Genevieve white dresses for both the sealing and her blessing the following day
You might think the handsome guy below is Gabriel, but it's really Spiderman all ready to shoot his webbing at you.

Genevieve's Blessing was beautiful and it was so nice to have our dads and brothers there to participate. It was such a busy weekend, but so much fun and so memorable.


A cute family if I do say so myself!

Future Firefighter

Today our playgroup went to the Holland Firehouse. Gabriel loved it and kept jumping up and down shouting, "I'm so excited!" He's also decided that he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up.

He tried on the fireman's helmet, but about fell over from the weight. Too funny!

Those Oliveros Cuties

We've been having a very busy fall. Gabriel is loving preschool and it's so fun to see him learning so many new things. He's learned the Pledge of Allegiance and it's so cute hearing him say "indivisible." Here are some new pics of the kids together. Gabriel loves cuddling Genevieve (sometimes too much!)
We went to the opening of Lucas County's new arena and they had it set-up so that the kids could take shots at the goal on the ice. Gabriel really liked it, as long as the Walleye mascot kept his distance. Gabriel is not a fan of any of those big costumes. If that cow is ever outside the Chic-fila @ the mall we have do do a big detour around the food court to avoid it.
We've also gotten to go the Zoo a couple of times. They have a new exhibit, Nature's Neighborhood w/ a jungle gym, stream and lots of hands on fun.
Here are some pictures of our little butterflies. One is obviously having more fun than the other.
I'm trying to take more pictures, but it's so sad how picture crazy we went on Gabriel and Genevieve isn't nearly as documented. I'm trying to keep up with her though. It's amazing how much she changes each day and she is getting so long! I think her eyes have almost settled on a color. They're looking more green these days so we'll see what they end up. I was sure she'd have brown eyes, but I think she will take after her Grandmas. She's a very happy baby and we all have fun making her laugh. The other day she was cracking up whenever Gabriel would say "football." Too cute!!

That's all for now!! Love you!
