Playdate Pics!

We went to playdate at Deborah's house last week. The kids played in the pool and with the sand and water table. They had a ton of fun!

At last! Summer is here

I love summer, (except for the humidity and bugs, but what can you do about that?) and so does Olivia. She is definitely a water baby! The pool, or even the dogs bowl of water, which I have learned to empty before letting her outside because she thinks it is a mini pool, is her favorite thing! We finally put up our pool and set up her sprinkler pool and she has had a blast in them! Monday we went to visit Chad's parents, they have a beautiful in ground salt water pool. Little miss O, who has no fear, thought she could just walk right on in. It didn't work out too well for her, but daddy was right there waiting to rescue her! He grabbed her when she stepped in, and she thought twice before jumping in again. She had a wonderful time going back and forth between the pool and hot tub, and it kept daddy very busy chasing her! We had a really great visit and she was completely worn out after such a long day of playing in the water. I am looking forward to getting to play outside with her and taking her swimming all summer long! Hopefully we will have the boat running again so we can take her on the lake!

My little Model?

Today was an eventful day for little O and I. First we started off with a play date at Brooke's house. She has the most kid friendly backyard, it is literally like going to the playground! Olivia was able to play with Colter and Emerson (and Misty & Brooke too!) She had a blast! Then it was home to bathe and get dressed to go to Kimmie's for Olivia's model photo shoot!
Kimmie took over 600 pics today of Olivia! Now, O is a bon-a-fide D-I-V-A! She was so good for the photos and really enjoyed it! Not only did she have play date and a photo shoot, Mommy's best friend Reena stopped by for a visit, and had her little boy Andrew with her. Olivia got to play with Andrew, with whom she adores! He played so well with her, he is 5 and she is 2 but he is sooooo good with her! So all in all it was a big eventful day for O and I.

Olivia's birthday and then some!

I have not been a diligent little blogger here lately. I hope to rectify this right now and KEEP up with my blogging! So first things first; on May 2 we had Olivia's 2ND birthday party at the house. The party was Blues Clues themed and turned out to be a huge success. She received so many gifts and had a blast with all of her little friends, I was so happy with the turnout. I can not believe she is 2 though! It has really flown by. She develops so much everyday, sometimes I wish I could push the "pause" or "rewind" button to slow her down a little bit. Her vocabulary has probably been the biggest change. She speaks so well...and SO MUCH! She is quite the motormouth. But it's OK Chad and I love to listen to her ramble on and on, for the most part we can understand but sometimes she gets too excited and we can not understand one thing! It is really cute though because she will get so into whatever she is talking about, she is quite animated! Also, she has taken to calling us Chad and Christy opposed to mommy and Dada, which sometimes is funny but sometimes annoying! She does it to me more than to Chad, I don't know why.
Mothers Day was nice and lazy. Chad got me a rustic ice chest, which I think was more for him than me but I like it. Today Olivia and I went to my parents to take my mom her mothers day gift. Surprise surprise they had a gift waiting for me which was really sweet. They also had 3 outfits for Olivia because they like to spoil her! But that is what grandparents are for, and I can't get too mad at them since she is their first grand baby, and more than likely the only one for quite a while! Today Papaw took her out on the tractor for a ride and she got to play with the turtles and horses and Scout. It was a really fun day. We will be getting to see Papaw alot more this week because he is on vacation and going to come fix a leak in the wall! I don't hardly ever get to see my dad anymore so I am really really looking forward to him coming over - even if I am putting him to work!
