I want my grandma back!

So my grandma Lynn came down to watch me while daddy was finishing his training up in Ft. Worth. We had so much fun playing together, reading books, and walking around. She is so much more fun than mommy and daddy. I wanted to sneak into her suitcase but daddy caught me and wouldn't let me go.

I am still having fun with daddy and mommy though. I do all kinds of stuff to drive them nuts. They put all my books on the book shelf, and I just pull them right back off. Then I will go over to the trash can and start pulling stuff out. Daddy got so frustrated with me he broke the lid trying to stop me, which only makes it easier for me.

I am loving walking all over the place, and I can even climb up and down the Lovesac now.

It is so hot here right now and I am so excited to play with all of my cousins in Oregon next week. I hear that it is nice and cool and pretty there. We are going to have so much fun.

Here are a couple of pictures from when Grandma came, I hope she comes back soon.

Trip to see daddy!

So I know we have neglected posting for a while but we will try to be better at it. Olivia and I are up in Fort Worth visiting Dave right now. Yesterday night livy and I got to go to our first rangers game. The ball park is a really cool site to see. It definitely helped that the game was a good one. Olivia was really good. We also got season tickets so we were right behind home plate on Row 13 they were sweet seats.

Today we woke up and went to go to the science museum in Fort Worth but it is closed for reconstruction so we decided to go to the Fort Worth Zoo. We really like this zoo it is a nice one and they have this really good mexican grille there. We have so pictures we will post of it. Livy liked looking at the different animals and then taking a nap in her stroller. It is so blood hot outside though that at 2 we had to leave to come back to air conditioning. I am going to post a lot of pictures of other events to.

While Dave has been gone this past week Olivia has been staying at some friends house and was such a good girl. The second friend she stayed with she has a little boy olivias age and apparently if she had both of them on her lap they didn't like it so they would shove each other. They would follow each other around. Then he grabbed her hand you will see in the picture. She got a really cute picture of her to that I will post. Tomorrow Livy and I will go back to pick up Grandma Lynn for the week we are very excited to have her stay with us. Dave is enjoying training for the military right now and staying busy. That is our update for right now!

Update!

So my allergies have been crazy here and finally went to an allergist to find outwhat I am allergic to and if I stay here I will have allergies year round just like my mother thanks a lot. So I definitely know we will only be here at least until dave is done with school and get out of here because it is no fun. I like Texas but not enough to be feeling like I have a cold all the time. I have been crazy busy at work and will be getting even more busy but that just means job security for me which is always good with this economy. We have enjoyed our little girl a lot she is taking a few steps by herself from me to Dave a lot. She loves to talk a ton and makes plenty of noises in church. She loves going swimming and splashing around but definitely does not like going on her back. She is such an angel baby and feel so blessed to have her in my life. I also feel blessed to have a great husband who is on base right now this weekend he is so proud to serve our country and love that about him. I am also glad that his contract is almost over this year. Here is some pictures and some stuff we have been up to.

Livy posing for the camera!

The pizza was bigger than her face but she loves it!

This was on the riverwalk in San Anontio!

This was behind the Capitol in Austin livy loves the backpack!

So much going on

I must first apologize for my negligence in writing. It is somewhat hypocritical of me because I gave my sister-in-law crap about not posting, but I haven't posted in forever. I think we all just think our lives are boring compared to others. Forgive me if this ends up being long, but it has been awhile.

I started school again on Friday and I am liking it so far. It is an online university, and it has been super easy so far. The first class you have to take is just basic internet stuff and where to find the tools you need to get through the program.

It would take more time than I care to spend typing to explain how the program works, so if you want to know more details let me know. In short, there are 40 assesments I have to complete, and I was lucky enough to have 13 of them taken care of with transfer credit. I am hoping to move through things quickly, because it is all self paced and the sooner I am done the sooner I can get to where I want to be: coaching.

Now on to the stuff you guys really want, what is going on with Olivia. She went swimming for real for the first time which was exciting because the water was still pretty cold.

She loved splashing in the water so much. She always loves to kick and splash in the tub too.

Livy is climbing all over everything now. The other day she was climbing on the printer to try and play with the blinds and she fell into her bumbo. It was hilarious because she couldn't get herself out.

Livy is the coolest baby around and she likes to flaunt it.

She also will eat just about anything you put in front of her. This is one of her favorites, smoked turkey from Rudy's. It was even funnier when we gave her some BBQ sauce that was a little spicy and she was trying to wipe it off her tongue.

Grandma Hardman came and visited us for Easter and we had a good time going to Sea World and playing with her.

Aunt Mary is here with us now and she has been such a great help. Livy loves following her all over the apartment, and especially pulling her hair. I really can't say enough about how grateful I am for my little sister and the help she has been already. We have been able to get so much more done thanks to her. She has discovered what it means to have allergies, and she has been such a good sport about it. She is the greatest.

She is such a little goofball and we love every minute with her. For whatever reason, she LOVES being upside down. If you tip her back once she will keep throwing her head back to do it again. I am so lucky that I get to spend so much time with her. It is amazing how much joy she brings to us everyday.

Picture Time!

So here are some of our activities we have been doing. We went to this easter egg hunt yesterday but missed it because I looked up the wrong park so we went home and found the right one. They had a carnival afterwards that we took livy to. We were going to take pictures with the easter rabbit but he looked evil and the line was for ever so we opted out. This is us at the park. They had a petting zoo that livy was able to touch the goats but all the other animals there were to many kids around shoving.

This is Olivia touching the pool for the first time but the water was still freezing so we couldn't get in. It still needs to be warmer everyday for this to happen but she just kicked and kicked.

This picture below is one of the first times livy pulled herself up on the coffee table. The printer is on the ground and helps her get up to the table. She loves being on her feet all the time and gets frustrated when she can't pull herself up.

All of these pictures below are of our adorable little girl feeding herself or us feeding her. She makes this fishy face so we can't get food in her mouth. She thinks it is quite funny! We are starting to love that she can feed herself now and we don't always have to feed her. She is a joy to us and couldn't live with out her.

I'M BACK!

Mommy and Daddy decided that I was spending too much time on the computer so they took it away from me, but as you can see, when I want something bad enough, I get it, they just can't resist my cute smile.

I guess they have done a pretty good job of keeping you informed about what I have been up to, but I had to be the one to tell you about my very first rodeo. It was so much fun. The cowboys and cowgirls were really good. I also really liked the mutton bustin'. They weren't very good, and I wanted to show them how it is done, but Daddy said I had to wait until I am older. You just wait until I'm 5, then it is on.

There was also a really good concert after the rodeo. Some guy named Josh Turner was singing, and he has a really deep voice. Don't tell daddy, but mommy and I thought it was really cute. He sounded just like he does on the radio, and it was a lot of fun. We didn't get to stay for the whole thing because we had to get home and put mommy to sleep, but I still had a lot of fun. I also had my very first funnel cake, as you can see above. It was so delectable. Everyone should eat more funnel cakes.

Uh oh, daddy is up from his nap, I better go before he catches me.

Picture time

So I thought it was time to show some fun things with livy. We finally are able to put shoes on her and curl her hair as you will see below. She does not know what to do with shoes on it is quite funny. Olivia also has so much hair we like to curl it with mouse and she looks so darn cute. Everyone is always jealous of how much hair she has. Then we have Olivia going to her first baseball game ever the UT mens team. She had a lot of fun with me and one of my friends but daddy couldn't make it he was pretty bummed about missing her first baseball games. Then my favorite is Olivia chowing down on ice cream she loves that stuff and she gets so angry if you stop feeding her. It is quite the mess as you will see in the pictures but it is well worth it. She brings us such joy to our lives.
