Maggie's Birthday

After we went to the McWane Centeron Saturday, we went to Maggie's second birthday party at Gymboree.
Olivia had a lot of fun especially playing with Maggie and her brother, Maddox. Olivia and Maddox were joined at the hip most of the time. They are so funny and cute playing together.
Maggie is very busy and such a cutie as you can see in these pictures.
Thank you for inviting us to your birthday!!
Happy 2nd Birthday Maggie!!!
We love you!!!

McWane Center

Last Saturday, we took Olivia to the McWane Center for our first time. Olivia's Nana and Pop gave her a membership for her birthday and we couldn't wait to use it. Olivia really enjoyed it and I think mommy and daddy did as well. I couldn't believe how much there was to do.
Thanks Nana and Pop for the great birthday gift!!

When we came home from her party, Jeremy and I gave her more presents from us. As you can see everything has to be opened as soon as the paper comes off.

Here are pictures of Olivia and her friends playing and having lots of fun!!

Olivia's 3rd Birthday!!!

Olivia's 3rd Birthday was Saturday, Valentine's Day!!! We had her party at JumpZone and all the kids had a blast.
She had a great party and got lots of great presents. It is so amazing to see how big she has gotten since her last birthday!! Wow how time goes by!!!
Thanks to all of our family and friends that came to help celebrate her birthday!!
Happy Birthday Olivia!!
We love you!!

Zoo

Olivia and I went to the zoo with Lauren and Anden Saturday. It was a great day to go because all of the animals were very alert and showing off for the kids. We rode the train, which was Olivia's first time to ever ride the train there and she ended up really enjoying the ride. We had a great time and hope to go back soon!!!

We're back.....

I know most of you can't believe this, but I am officially updating my blog. Please don't faint!!!!
I'm not really sure where to begin in explaining the reasons of why I have not updated in a while but I will give you a few; for starters at the end of football season, my dad broke his back while hunting and is still recovering. He is getting better each day and thankfully he did not have to undergo any type of surgeries. Please keep him your prayers.
We have celebrated several birthdays, my sister's and her boyfriend's and Olivia's friend, Jake.
Oh, almost forgot, work has been very stressful lately. I don't have enough time or fingers to tell you all about this situation. Let's just say that you need to say a prayer for me!!!
And last, we have been extremely busy with the holidays as most of you were too. We had lots of get together's with friends and family. We had so much fun spending time with everyone. We also had a wonderful Christmas and Olivia got more stuff than she knows what to do with. I wish I could upload all the pictures but that would take an extremely long time!!!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is having a great start to a new year!!!!
I will make sure that I do better this upcoming year in keeping my blog up to date.

More Bama pics

Here a few more pictures from the Alabama game.
As you can see, Olivia and Jake were playing with Jeffrey in the playhouse. I'm not quite sure who enjoyed the house better!!!!
Also, Olivia was so proud to get to hold Caroline again. Caroline is such a great baby. She didn't make a peep during all the screaming and celebrating that was going on. I couldn't beleive it.
Thanks everyone for coming over, we had a great time!!!!
Roll Tide!!!!

Bama girl

We had friends over to watch the Alabama game Saturday and Olivia was showing off her cheerleading outfit. This outfit is actually the same one she wore last year!!! I was so glad she could still wear it because football season approached very fast and I didn't realize that Olivia didn't have much to wear.
We are so proud of Alabama, they played great. I just hope they can keep up the hardwork.
Roll Tide!!!!!

Play date with Anna Kate

Saturday morning Olivia went and played with Anna Kate. These two girls are soo silly.
I wasn't able to get many pictures of them because they were very busy.
Olivia hasn't really been exposed to stairs but after Anna Kate showed her how to jump off them, Olivia loved it.
Karen and I peeked around the corner without them knowing and then they realized they got caught!!! The bottom two pics are from when we caught them about to jump!!!!
Thank you Anna Kate and Karen for inviting us over to play, we had a great time and will have to do it again!!!

Shoe lover...

Everyday that passes, Olivia's love for shoes gets greater!!!
After my birthday dinner, she had to wear Aunt Stacy's shoes. As you can see Stacy was trying to get her to strike a pose, as she did very well. I haven't yet figured out if this is going to be a bad or a good thing!!!
Also, Olivia is becoming very hard to dress these days. She puts up a great fight every morning before school because she doesn't want to wear what I have picked out for her.

My Birthday

My birthday was last Wednesday and we celebrated Friday night.
My parents took us out to eat and then we ate birthday cake at my sister's house.
Olivia kept saying it was her birthday!!!
We had a great time. Thank you mom and dad for everything!! I love you!!

Happy Birthday Madison

Saturday we celebrated Madison's First Birthday.
Olivia and Madison are cousins and they don't get to see one another very often because Madison lives in Huntsville.
We had a great time getting to see everyone.
Happy First Birthday Madison!!!
We love you!!!

Dolled up

Olivia was being silly as you can see!!!
She first brought me a pink tutu to put on, which you can't see because it is under the grass skirt. Then she brought me the grass skirt along with the bunny ears. The next time she came back with Bama shakers.
As much talk that has been going on around our house about football apparently has rubbed off on her.
Looks as if she is ready for football season!!! (She's adding a little twist to her Bama wardrobe.)
She is getting more and more silly as the days pass!!!!

Rain, Rain Go Away...

It has been raining so much lately that Olivia thinks it's raining even inside!!!
No, actually, she loves her umbrella and likes to play with it.

Austin's Birthday

Our last party for the day was for Austin's 3rd birthday.
It was like Olivia flipped a switch and became very excited and hyper.
She had to bounce and jump on everything she could get herself on.
It is so funny because the last party we had a Fun Factory, Olivia wouldn't go near the biggest slide they have. Last night, Olivia climbed up that big slide all on her own and slid down too!!! She did this several times. I just stood there with amazement and shock.
She had such an exciting day, that she slept all night and slept late!!!
Happy Birthday Austin!!!

Anden's Birthday

Our next party was for Anden's 1st Birthday. He had a pirate pool party.
There were so many things for the kids to play with that I didn't even get a picture of the birthday boy!!!
We had a great time seeing everyone!!
Now it's off to our last birthday party of the day!!!

Laura Faith's Birthday

Saturday was a birthday party day!!!! We started out celebrating Laura Faith's 2nd birthday at her Dora pool party!!!
Olivia had a great time seeing all of her friends and especially seeing Laura Faith open her gifts.
Happy Birthday Laura Faith!!!

Granddaddy's Birthday!!

Yesterday we celebrated Jeremy's and his granddaddy's birthday together. Olivia always thinks it is her birthday too when there are gifts and cake!!!!
She enjoyed opening their gifts and blowing their candles for them!!!
Happy Birthday Granddaddy and Daddy, we love you!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Yesterday was Jeremy's birthday. We had a birthday celebration dinner at his grandparent's since it was also his
Granddaddy's birthday too!!!
Happy Birthday Daddy, we love you bunches!!!!
