Get-a-way

O got a little get a way this week. She went to Winnsboro Monday and came back today. They stayed up way past bedtime, went swimming and got a haircut.

On the way down Monday mom stopped at brookshires in Monroe. My cousin works there. His mom was my mom's sister and she passed away about 5 years ago. He commented to my mom that o looks just like his mom and wanted a pic with her. He and his twin brother are such sweet boys. They'd be great catches for any high school girls you may know!


I got this pic Tuesday night at 9:30. They were having dessert at 9:30!! Bedtime is 8:30!!


I got mom to take o for a haircut while there. I'm loving the new summer do. Took about 2 inches off!





Only at GG and pops house can you go get a haircut in your pj's!


She loves going there and always comes back worn out! Sign of a good time!

Whew!

This was a busy weekend! Thursday I had a tooth pulled that ended miserably. Friday was a LONG day at work and all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and sleep. But I'm a single mama. I know I didn't tell him how much I appreciate him and most likely just yelled at the poor boy but he was a champ Friday night and entertained o for a bit so I could catch a very quick cat nap before heading to dinner. After she went to bed I got into that curled up position and attempted peaceful sleep. Not so much! My mouth HURTS!!


Saturday came bright and early and after a 4am lortab run poor o was own her own for about an hour and a half bc I couldn't function. Lesson learned and I now know my cutoff time for middle of the night narcotics! After coming out of my fog we headed to Monroe for avie's bday party.


Then we met emery and Harper at newks for lunch. Matt and his cousin joined us at the end so o and I sat with them while they ate. Then to hobby lobby where o assured me the fake flowers smelled very pretty.


Our next stop was the boys grandmother's house but o fell asleep in the car so I just ran in for a few minutes and then left. She finally woke up at 4.


Then the boy came to Ruston and we all went to see ice age. I think o liked it. It was cute.

I'm tired just thinking abt Saturday and today was almost just as busy. But with no nap!! Church....


Catherine williams bday party.


Then to Monroe for dinner with the boy's family. His mom is spoiling o and had her a new chair (this is like gold to o. She loves herself a new chair), a Barbie and a coloring book. She just made herself at home today! Gotta love a 3 year old. They can be bought!

Now I'm worn out, going to take a narcotic and going to bed. Praying the pain eases up soon! I have to go back on the 30th to finish the job (this dentist couldn't get the roots out so I'll be going to an oral surgeon) so I'd like some relief before I have to do this all over again!!

We are the champions...

We are the champions. No time for losing. We are the champions. Of the world.

Well, o and I aren't the champions but we met some today! Tech has 3 track/field athletes that qualified for the 2012 London games. This is huge!!

With Chelsea Hayes. Long jump. Competing for the good old US of A. Originally from new Orleans. Still a student at tech.


With Jason Morgan. Competing for his home country Jamaica. Discus thrower. He currently lives and trains in little old Ruston.


The third one Ayana Alexander wasn't able to be there. She's competing for her home country of Trinidad and Tobago where she is currently training.

We got to sign all of their good luck banners that they will take with them to London. O was adamant about signing her own name!


O showing off her autographs.


We're super excited about these Olympians right here in our own backyard.

After that we had lunch with Jenny and Jackie at the new counter culture in the intramural center. I love having special days like this with Olivia. She won't necessarily remember it but she can now say she met some bonafied Olympians! These are possibly my first Olympians (that compete individually) to meet.

Phone dump

Twirling....


Friday night shenanigans.


Playing in the rain.


I don't know who taught her to pull out a drawer and stand in it but instead of correcting her I told her to be still while I got my camera. Parenting genius right here.


Tiara and tutu for school. I'm not going to squash her dreams of princesses!


Happy Monday!

July 4th!

We actually celebrated on the 3rd. WISH I could figure out how to post videos. O had one heck of a time at the fireworks show! We went with missy to eat and then to trinity to watch temple's show.








These photos are curtesy of o.








This morning we just lounged around and then I went to the pool after lunch. It was so hot, only lasted 2 hours. Sad. Happy 4th!!

O's fun sunday

Jenny called Sunday and asked if she and John could take o swimming. I agreed bc I needed to run to Monroe and when it's 100 degrees I'd rather not rangle a 3 year old while I run errands! They came and picked her up and headed out. When I got back to town I turned onto their road and I saw john's bronco weaving down the street. I knew immediately who was driving. I honked and Jenny turned around and we both just died out laughing. Busted!! She said that she had just told John that if I knew what was going on I'd kill them! Lol!!





Here u can see that only o's hands are on the wheel and she's not looking at the road!! :)


Glad the cop that lives on their road didn't see them!


This thing doesn't have seat belts!!

My baby is home!!

So today was all about her. I wouldn't call it spoiling her. More like a big welcome home!! :) we started at the farmers market and then on to hudson's birthday party. It was at the fire station and they learned all kinds of stuff!





Inside the ambulance.





Emery made a fire truck to play in. It was precious!


Releasing the balloons after the party!


Then we went swimming with Hudson, Reynolds, Ella Claire and carter. We stayed for about 3 hours and she's a little sun burned. Oops. Next time I'll reapply!

After a 2 hour nap we went for yogurt.


And then to cook park! At 8 pm it was still in the high 90s. Too hot!!





O loves to take pics. This one actually turned out!


And the two funnies for the day. While in the shower this morning o apparently went through my purse. When I got out she met me at the bathroom door and said, "I'm so pretty!" this is what I saw. She'd also been in the perfume... I need a nanny. :)


Then later today she got into my shoes.


Lipstick and wedges. I'm in for a wild ride come her teenage years, I'm afraid!!
