Busy-ness

*Edited to add* My layout is the cause for the cropped pictures. Sorry. Hopefully I will get it fixed soon.

Busy, busy, busy!!! I haven't had much time for blogging lately. I had a post I was working on and never got to finish and I haven't made anymore attempts to finish it. There has just been too much going on lately. Untill I get back into the swing of regular posting here are a few pictures from the past couple of weekends.

Life in Pictures

I have not had much time for anything on the computer lately....I have had several things I want to post, but there's just not a enough time in the day to do everything I need or want to get done.
So here's some pictures from the weekend and a few from this week.

Friday night (last Friday night)-The 3 of us headed to Target. First we had supper at Cracker Barrel, Chad's favorite. It never fails, he always orders Mama's French Toast, ham and eggs sunny side up! Then we went to Target. We ♥ Target!! We ended up only shopping for none other than Olivia. : )

I was going to post pics, but I am not finding any of the online and I am tired of looking. I do however, love this dress, but didn't get it because I was having a hard time deciding what shoes would go with it.

I think I am going back to get it, because it's just too cute and it's only 10$!! You can't beat that!

Saturday- Me & Chad went to the Alabama/Arkansas game. It poured down rain the whole way to Tuscaloosa. I was not really looking forward to getting get drenched. Luckily we had parking passes for a deck only a block away from the stadium, so it was real bad. By the time we got to the stadium and made it to our seats (which were covered) the rain stopped!! It turned out to be a perfect day and Alabama won! We had a lot of fun. I hadn't been to a game in a long time.

Decked out in our rain gear.

Pouring down

Spell it out!

8$ Banana Pudding!! No, thank you!

Sunday was our Sunday school class get together. We had an 80's skate party at the local skating ring. It was sooo much fun!! I forgot how much I actually like to skate. It's good exercise too! : )

I think the pictures are so special that it needs it's own post. You will just have to come back to see them!!

A New Look

Do you notice anything different? Well, if you have stopped by before you will have noticed that I got a blog makeover! I have been playing around with the idea for awhile now, but didn't really want to spend a crazy amount of money on my blog. It's not like I am making money with this. This is just an easier way for me to keep up with our day to day life, all the fun things Olivia is into and whatever else crosses my mind. : )

When I saw that Leslie was having a blog makeover giveaway I jumped on the chance to enter and surprisingly won!! I think she did a great job especially working with me and even better she is from AL!! If you are interested in a makeover you should take a look at her custom blog design site.


In other news. We had a great weekend getaway to the beach. We went with 3 other couples and had lots of fun. The weather was nice Friday but overcast Saturday & Sunday. Is it just me or does everyone else think you can still work on your tan even if it is overcast? My brain just can't wrap around that. If the sun is not beating down on me and I sweating up a storm I don't feel like I am getting a tan.


This weekend is Olivia's 1st Birthday party! I have had 2 dreams about the party this week. Both dreams involve me not being there or not making it in time! : ( What's up with that?!?

Tonight me & my mom are going to pick up one of her gifts.

Her very own chair! I think these chairs are the cutest thing ever and have wanted one before I was even pregnant! :D

I have everything just about ready for Saturday. Just a few small last minute things left. I still haven't decided on party favors. Does anyone have any ideas other than candy bags? I want to do something cute and simple.

Updating

Every time I get ready to post or want to post, I start doing something else or something else gets in the way. So most of the time blogging gets put on the back burner. I don't know if I have ever mentioned it here, but I wanted to start a journal for Olivia. I didn't have real plans for it. Just daily entries about things she did that day/what she was up to/words she has said/etc...I have ONE entry! In the journal I told her I was going to try and do better about writing...I am sure she will forgive me.

I think it will be neat for her (and me) to look back at the things she was doing when she was younger. I hope to do this for a long time and then give her the journals one day. OKAY...I am making it a point to write in the journal EVERY. DAY. If I can't post every day here. Surely I can write in the journal everyday. Even if it's just a paragraph or two.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't get to finish this post last night. Go figure. Chad wanted to go to bed early and I was in our bedroom. Being the good wife that I am I turned off the computer. :)
A lot has been going on lately. My parents were gone on a cruise all last week so Olivia stayed with Stephanie and Paige a few days. Paige&Olivia play really good together. Paige would actually cry when we would leave.
Chad went out of town for the weekend for a Bachelor weekend for Matt. Their wedding isn't until July 11th, but this was the only weekend everyone could get together.
This weekend was also Brianna's shower. She is expecting twin girls, Emma Claire & Allie Beth, sometime in July probably. The shower turned out perfect. She got a TON of stuff. Like 30 something boxes of diapers, which is close to 3,000 diapers! Outfits galore, boppies, bottles, 2 moses baskets filled with tons of stuff, 2 Arthur Court plates which I have never heard of, swings, bouncers...I could go on and on and I know the specifics because I wrote it all down and Bri opened every. single. gift!! I didn't think she would be able to, but she did.
I would post a picture but I didn't get not one single picture!! Maybe I can get some from the other girls.

One more thing. Last night we were playing with Olivia and she took 4 steps!! She gets so excited when she is trying to walk that she forgets what she is doing. It's hilarious to watch her. I am going to try and get a video tonight. She kills me sometimes...she acts like she can do things that she really can't do just yet. She is fearless!
