Olivia's First Soccer Game...

I am getting REALLY behind on my posts so I thought I would sit down and do a quick one tonight. Saturday, the 28th of August was Olivia's first soccer game and she did really well. It was VERY hot that day and I figured she would be complaining of the heat, but she never did. Her team lost 4-6 (I think), but they all did good. Olivia gets the ball and can guide it really well with her feet where she wants it to go, but she is still reluctant to just rare back and kick it. She kinda sits back and stays out of the crowd fighting for the ball, then if it pops out of the crowd, she's got it.Her uncle Jay has worked with her some this week so we are hoping to see a more of an aggressive side of Olivia next game :o) (Oh, I must mention, at one point during the game, Olivia came running by her daddy and I, with two thumbs up, grinning ear to ear. It was sooooo funny. She had no idea where that ball was at the time. I love her to death I'm telling ya! Lots of people came to cheer her team on and her mom was the loudest one there I think :o) I love sports!!

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!!!!!!!!
