Olivia's First Boat Ride...

So last week my daddy called & wanted us to go on a boat ride with him (and do a "little" fishing ;-), so we did. Jason didn't get to go because he had to work, but Olivia & I did, and so did her cousin Paige. It was really fun. I didn't get to take many pictures though because Olivia was scared to death at first, then she started liking it. She sat between my legs in my seat & held on to my thighs for dear life. ;-) The first time we took off, she started screaming, "Stop this boat. I want off right now!" Bless it.. I made her stay on it ( I know, mean mommy) and she ended up really liking it. I had to keep her face covered with a blanket when we were riding though because she didn't like the wind in her face, but she was doing some serious fishing (and coloring ;-) while the boat was stopped. (She even yelled at her Pepaw at one point when he started the boat to "Wait a minute Pepaw, wait till my mommy gets my blanket!!") Sooo funny! I bet people were wondering why there was someone riding in our boat with a blanket on their head. Teehee! Her Pepaw & Nana Nana hooked her up with a Princess fishing pole and it was soooo cute watching her TRY to throw that pole out there and TRYING to catch a fish. I think if she would have actually caught one, she would have thrown that pole overboard. Everytime her Pepaw would catch a fish, he would try to get her to reel it in, but she wouldn't. It freaked her out a little I think. She did feel of the fish & got to learn what the term "slimey" meant. Overall, a GREAT day & new experience for our baby girl! Fun days, fun days!!! Maybe I will get more pictues on the next ride.


Pepaw doing what he does best!!!!!


Olivia & her cousin Paige. Sweet girls.

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!!!!!!!!
