Pumpkin Carving.....

So yesterday, Jason , Olivia and I decided that we would carve our 2008 pumpkin. We got the pumpkin we carved at Wal-Mart, but we are going to the pumpkin patch next weekend and letting Olivia pick out another one of her own. We want her to feel like she is getting to pick it out, but we needed a good round one to put a pretty face on :-) She did not participate in the gutting of the pumpkin, as Olivia can not stand to get dirty. She liked pretending like she was doing stuff though. (he he) All in all, we had a good family fun day. I am so thankful for my family and sometimes wonder why I am so lucky.... God is good... Tonight, we are doing Halloween cookies!!! Yum yum.........


Getting ready to carve him up.....





Watching daddy ever so closely....


Olivia playing with Snoopy!


Here she is making an attempt to gut the pumpkin, but she couldn't do it.




Here are Jason and Olivia with their masterpiece acting silly....


So I was not going to post this picture of Olivia and I because my hand is right on her crotch for some reason, but I had to in order to get the picture of Olivia and her daddy acting silly on here. It was part of the deal. So sorry about the hand :-)



And here he is!! Isn't he cute?????

Slowdown....

I just want to tell everyone now, my posts may start slowing down drastically when school starts back. I start on the 15th (next Thursday) and I do have some rather difficult classes this time. Also, I will be studying for the hesi test that I have to take if February, so my blog life will be taking a back seat for a while... I am not going to quit blogging though. I do have plans for a couple of posts in the near future, I just can't keep up like I am used to when classes start. I just wanted everyone to know why I am suddenly not leaving comments on your blog or not updating as frequently...Please keep me in your prayers as I am studying for this hesi test. This test will determine whether I get into the nursing program or not and I have A LOT of competition.... Just want you all to know what's going on with me when my blog is not being updated that much.... Love ya friends.......

Please keep our "Little Livie" in your prayers.....

Today we will be leaving at 5:00 a.m. to head to Knoxville for a round of tests.. Olivia has to have surgery on May 12th for a branchial cleft anomaly on her chest and just above her ear. I am dreading it... I am trying to act like it is no big deal to appear strong for her, but I am scared to death!!! Today we have to go and have a fistulagram and a renal ultrasound done... The fistulagram involves shooting dye through the little holes (sinus cavities that didn't fully develop) to see where they go so the surgeons know all details before the actual surgery begins.... The renal ultrasound is to check her kidney function because sometimes when kids have these anomalies, kidney problems are also involved!! Let's pray we don't have that problem... Like I said, I am scared to death!! But, the kidney ultrasound will relieve my worries of the China Milk scandal where a bunch of kids adopted from China have been found to have kidney issues from tampered milk... (If you don't k...

"Pray to Jesus"....

Image
So the past few weeks, Jason and I have decided to try to get in the habit of saying a prayer before we all eat dinner at night. I'll admit, this is one habit Jason and I never did that we should have already been doing. Anyway, at night I will say "Oh, we need to say our prayers." Olivia just loves it. Everyone at the table ends up saying a prayer (at Olivia's request). But I just had to post, every one of her prayers start with "Pray to Jesus".. EVERY ONE! And if we forget to say them, (yes, we forget) she says "We need to pray to Jesus!" It is the sweetest thing ever! She always makes us close our eyes and cross our fingers together. So tonight, I'll admit, I peeked to see what kind of face she was making during these prayers, and it was the cutest thing ever... So, I got up and got the camera ~ and then got in trouble!! Hehe.... :-) Our baby is growing up!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!
