An update......

Well, Miss Olivia will be turning 3 this coming Sunday. Time is going SOOOO fast... It seems like it was only a few months ago that we got her. This little girl has brought so much joy and happiness into our life, so much she will never know. I always kid with her (well, I am not kidding, but she thinks it's hilarious) and tell her to come here, I need to talk to you.... Then, I take both of her hands in mine and look into her eyes and tell her "I love you so so much sweet girl!!" Well, at first, she told me the same thing back, now she just starts dying laughing and takes off running because I do it soooooo much... As soon as I tell her I need to talk to her, a grin comes across her face and she comes and puts her hands in mine to see if that's what I am going to say, or if she's in some kind of trouble. Too funny! I love her soooo much... We rented the outdoor Manchester pool for Saturday and she is so very excited...It's all she talks about (especially since we have been to 2 birthday parties within 1 week. It was supposed to be 3 parties, but we didn't make it to one of them) We have had one busy week (and summer).. I will leave you with some random pictures from our busy weekend.....

By the way, Happy Birthday to Jared Lee Martin!! We are sooo sorry we missed your birthday party Saturday!! We love you bunches and bunches....

Saturday afternoon, my grandmother had a small July 4th/birthday party for Olivia and her cousin Rowan..Her birthday is the 12th of July, and his is the 11th. It was so sweet..She had horse shoes, jump ropes, teeball set, tennis set, bubbles, hula~hoops, etc all set up in the backyard when the kids got there... They had sooooo much fun! Thank you granny... We love you..



They LOVED the bubbles... Here is granny and Uncle Matt showing them all the MANY, MANY bubbles my grandmother purchased.....




Here is Olivia blowing bubbles in Rowan's face!! How nice!



Olivia enjoying that cake!



Rowan and his mom Morgan....



Olivia and Daddy sitting around our campfire. We built a campfire, roasted marshmallows and then shot off fireworks Friday night. Olivia was scared of the fireworks at the beginning, but she started liking them "somewhat" at the end..



Daddy's fire pit!!! We love it!!! (and the marshmallows!)



These are some pictures of me and daddy that Olivia took. She is getting good with the camera... I am pretty excited.. Me and Jason are going to start actually having pictures of ourselves!! Olivia is always wanting to take our picture.. Too sweet!

You think Olivia can teach me to skate. That looks fun. I would be on my bottom more than my feet. I can't wait until schools starts so that I can see that little sweetie everyday and tell the boys about it. You know that they will be jealous. ha Ha.

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!!!!!!!!
