Picnic, Anyone??

We decided to go on a quick picnic Friday afternoon. I think Olivia had a great time at her first picnic. She is definitely a baby that LOVES the outdoors.

Our picnic company was trying to escape. Don't worry, we didn't let her get away!

In.To.Everything.

Have I said that Olivia is into everything?? Well....she is into EVERYthing!!!

Happy Birthday to the Best Nano Ever (a little late)

Happy Birthday to Nano/Mom!!!

We traveled to Memphis a few weekends ago to help Nano celebrate her birthday. We had a fun weekend surrounded by each other and all the kiddos. We couldn't ask for a better Nano and are so blessed to have her as ours. We love you Nano and are so thankful for you!!!

Prayers and Pictures

Last week our family went through a rough time with the death of a very dear family member. It's hard to remember in times like these that God has a plan and it is so perfect for each of us. In the same thought it is so comforting to know that we have a Father that we can lean on and cry out to and He hears our cries and know our needs even before we do. We are so selfish to want her here with us but we also know she is walking the streets of gold right now, doesn't feel or know pain and is sitting at the feet of the Almighty. These next few days, weeks and months will be tough but also comforting to know that we will see her again and one day, spend eternity with her. Hays and his family covet your thoughts and prayers.

On a much lighter note, Olivia's one year pictures are available to view. They are so precious. Just go to www.allimphoto.com, order online, click on Olivia's name and the password is Brooke. Enjoy!

Enjoying the Beautiful Weather and So Much More

With the weather being so unbelievably beautiful right now we had to get out and enjoy it. So we decided to take a trip to the zoo last Sunday afternoon. I think Olivia really enjoyed her trip. The giraffes seemed to be her favorite.

We have also been enjoying the jogging stroller. Well...Olivia has been enoying the ride and scenery, mommy cannot say the same. She didn't quite look like this (all smiles) when it was all over and done with.

All pooped out. We go to a Bible study on Wednesday mornings. All of the playing must poop Olivia out. This is what the ride home usually consists of. So sweet.

Have I mentioned that Olivia is into EVERYthing??? I turn my head for one moment...one little moment. 

All smiles after a good afternoon nap. :)))

We have once again been a tad under the weather lately. The stomach bug of 2011 hit our house and took us down one at a time starting with Olivia. This is the first thing we had to do one morning. Never a good thing when you have to start the day off giving the baby a bath.

Snuggeling with daddy on a sick day. Two little peas in a pod...love them.

What We've Been Up To...

Having play dates with our sweet cousin, Wil Franklin. Amberly and I swapped babysitting duties twice this week so we could both get some things done and so these two little cuties could play.

Playing, playing, and more playing. This is another birthday present favorite. The only bad thing is we have to push her around on it (not so good for the ole back muscles). Lots of amusement for the girl though.

Trying new foods like scrambles eggs. They were a big hit (haven't found anything this girl WON'T eat)!

Getting into EVERYthing. Did I post before how crawling wasn't that big of deal for us? Well...I am now eating my words. Can't take my eyes off either of these two!

"Anyone want a dog treat?? Or, let's see what else I can find..."

Buying new cars. We finally upgraded to a mommyville. LOVE the car, HATE the car note!! Donations, anyone??
