T-Chon's Birthday

Last Sunday Olivia was in a partying mood. It was her T-Chon's Birthday we ate fish and cupcakes and danced while the men watched the games. It was the first time we gave her fried fish and to my surprise she liked it. The cupcakes she could take or leave, she doesn't like icing. She is her father's child because he doesn't like sweets and neither does she.

We have been recycling the number 1 candle from Olivia's cake that is why T-Chon's cupcakes have the number 1 candle on it.

Happy Birthday T-Chon

House Cleaning

Last Sunday was Olivia's T-Chon's birthday and we had a little family get together at the house. So on Saturday we had to clean up including Olivia she helped by sweeping. Of course she had to have on her tutu to do her house work.

After all that house work that she had to do she had to do some work in her home office. I just think she is too cute when she types on that little laptop.

After she got done with all the things she needed to do around the house she went to a birthday party for one of her friends, Brendon. His party was at Jump and Jive and her G-Ma and G-Pa took her. As you can tell by the pictures she was kind of a party pooper, she was tired from all the work she had done around the house. She did let Ma take her on a few thing but not very many. I think the only time she smiled was when it was time to eat.

Olivia playing

We got our first warm day this past Monday so we took Olivia outside to hang out. My good friend that I met at PV, Misty made this stool for Olivia. She got this stool for her birthday and she loves to sit on it.

Olivia got a 4 wheeler for Christmas from her Ma and Pa. Unfortunately it has been cold since Christmas and she has only been able to ride it inside. She was so happy to be outside she kept pointing to the airplanes and birds. We stayed outside for like a hour and watched cars pass by and played kick ball.

Let it Snow

Olivia got to see and play in the snow for the first time. It was so pretty and she loved it. I made a snowball and she tried to eat it. Here are some of the pics we took that day.

This is a pic of the house next door and all the snow in the grass and trees. The snow was deeper than this but we were not outside during that time.

This is Olivia and I playing in the snow in the back yard. When we were walking back to the patio area after this pic she fell because the ground was so icy

We were dancing in the snow. We both had on a lot of clothes.

We had to get a pic of the snowman before he melted the next day. It had to take all the snow in the yard to build him

It's been a long time

I know it's been a long time since I have blogged but we have been having computer problems. Our Laptop went from running slow to not running at all. But we have a new laptop now so I will be blogging more often. Olivia is 1 now and we took her to take some pictures. Here are some of the pictures that she took. She is such a big girl now she is talking and reading. She got YOUR BABY CAN READ for her birthday. She can read the words hi, nose, clap, and eyes. She can also say Touchdown, ma, pa, bow, down, up, cup, plane and of course no. She loves to play outside and she is walking so much better now. I will upload the pictures from her birthday party and other pictures when I get them. We still miss all our friends from North Texas and we hope that we will get a chance to come and visit soon.

IT Problems

Our computer is giving us problems so I have not been able to blog. But Olivia has turned one and she is such a big girl. We took her to take some pictures and we took a lot of pictures at her party. I will upload them as soon as I get a chance. Things have been crazy and Marcus and I will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary on Wednesday. So I will try to upload some new pics when we get back no later than next Monday. Thank you to everyone who called or emailed or sent a text to wish livi a happy birthday.

Olivia's day at the beach

There is this restaurant in Galveston that I love. The name of it is Happy Buddha and I go every time I am down there. This is the first time that Olivia has been there while awake. I thought it would be fun if I took a pic of her next to the infamous Buddha in the lobby. As you can tell it didn't quite go as planned. She was afraid of him and she would not take her eyes off of him in fear that if she did he would get her. She was climbing up my sister just to get away from him.

The reason we went to Galveston, besides Happy Buddha was to take her to the beach. I really wanted to see how she would react to a body of water that is not a pool. My mom and sister went with Marcus, Olivia, and I to the beach. I picked up a seashell to commemorate her first trip to the beach and I am going to put it in a baggie in her baby book.

Olivia liked walking on the beach and she liked looking at the water. However when I let her stand while the waves came in and they washed the sand from under her feet she did not like that. That is why the last pic is of her holding on to me for dear life to pick her up.
