Olivia's First Camping Trip.....

Back in April, Jason, Olivia & I went camping at Rock Island with some family for a week. We had the best time! It was the first time Olivia had ever been camping and she had a blast. Ticks were HORRIBLE when we went, but Livie & I never seen the first one on us; her daddy did though. He found 2 on him and so did most of the rest of the family. I loathe ticks!! One of my worst fears.. Anyway, an overall wonderful and relaxing trip. Sorry about all the pictures, but as usual, I took A TON!! (By the way, for those of you who went, I will post all of them on fb when I get a chance so you can tag them) I have MANY, MANY updates to catch up on, so I will be doing several posts the next couple of weeks. Things around here have been really busy.Hope to update soon & hope everyone is having a fabulous spring!

Livie again ;-)


Good thing aunt Erica was on this trip. She had to take Olivia in the water. I just couldn't do it. I can't handle the funk in the water. Makes me sick to my stomach. No lie people.


See, look at it. I took this picture to prove it to her when she gets older. Ewwww!!! That is one thing I just can not do. If you click on this picture, you'll get a good look at the nastiness! Yuck!


Just another cute pic




Another picture of the crew ~ Minus Olivia~ She wouldn't go up there.

Livie & her daddy.... So sweet..


So when Jason & I pulled up to OUR campsite the day we arrived to camp, this little sign was hanging on our number. My sister Erica had surprised us with it!! She knew I wanted it & that I wouldn't buy it for myself, so she bought it for me. I love her sooo much.:-)


Our home for a week at Rock Island (And our new camper! We are so excited!)

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!!!!!!!!
