Happy Father's Day Weekend!

Happy Father's Day!

According to Chris he had an entire weekend for Father's day. So, Olivia and I gave him one. Friday, we went to the water pad in The Woodlands. Olivia had a lot of fun playing with the fountains and running around in the grassy area. Saturday we went to my parents and went swimming. I bought Olivia some floaties and well, Brutis ate them. So, my mom bought her some new ones and she does great with them. She dog paddles and swims on her own around the pool. It is funny to watch all of the dogs swim around her. Sunday we took Bill to lunch and then went back to my parents for some more swimming. Needless to say, Olivia was exhausted Sunday night! Olivia and I surprised Chris for Father's day with some pictures of the two of us. Of course, they are not uploading to this page so I will have to add them later. We all had a wonderful weekend and Chris was ready to start the week off on the right foot at his new job!

Olivia, Heidi and the box!

So, I had a box with some of Olivia's baby clothes. I have vowed to organize now that I am on vacation and started with packing her clothes up. After I unpacked this box I sat it down and forgot to put it away. When Olivia woke up she "found" the box, aka her new toy. Tuesday it rained all day and we were stuck inside. The box gave her instant pleasure for about an hour. Thursday, we had Jennie and Heidi Tannehill over and we had a great time. The girls colored with the sidewalk chalk, played with playdough, had a snack and then they found the box. It was so cute! Olivia hopped in the box and looked at Heidi like, "come on friend" Heidi jumped in. Heidi is about 4 months older than Olivia and they get a long so well as well as the parents. We had a great time!

On a side note, Jennie is potty training Heidi and she is doing great! She went on the potty twice while she was playing at our house. Now, Olivia is trying to go on the potty. Today, she walked up to the bathroom door, looked at Chris and I and said "poo poo". SO CUTE! So, I took off her diaper and sat her on the potty. She did not go, of course but did get some toilet paper to wipe her bottom. She then ran to the hall bathroom and as I am trying to chase her down and put her diaper back on and she stood at the door and went potty on the floor. I felt so bad for her because I could tell she wanted to go. I guess we will keep trying and see what happens. I myself am not ready to potty train my baby! That means that she is growing up and I am not ready for that! Selfish I know but true. Our little tootie will be 18 months on the 20th. How the time passes so quickly!

More to come soon! I hope I can figure out the slideshow thing by then!

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks. Things in our household have been crazy but exciting. Chris was offered a job at Direct Energy the other day and will be leaving Continental Airlines. Of course, we are all excited about this new opportunity and he is very excited to be starting a new job that is very similar to his job at Continental. It will be sad of course to have to pay for our tickets now we are SO happy to not have to move to Chicago! Chris will be starting his new job at Direct Energy June 21.

I am officially on summer vacation and I am so very excited! Olivia and I have big plans to hang out and spend time with our friends. We are also planning a family trip to Disney World in early August. This will be the second time for Olivia to be on an airplane and definetly not the last. She is growing up so fast and Chris and I are enjoying every minute of it. She loves, loves, loves the water!! She is for sure a water baby! Olivia does not have any fear of the water and loves playing with the dogs in the pool.

I am hoping that my slide show has attached correctly and you can see a few pictures of her in the pool. I have a video also but I am still trying to figure out how to attach it on the blog.
