TGIF!!

So thankful to made it to Friday!! Friday night is our pizza night and tonight we played games and played in Olivia's castle! So happy to come home and do that kind of stuff!

Here we are playing Go Fish!

When it is too cold for gymnastics

Both dance and gymnastics were canceled this week due to weather and cold. So Thursday Olivia decided she wanted to have a mommy and me gymnastics class.

Here is what occurred...as you can tell I am NOT a gymnast...

Cute and funny!!!

Ice Storm 2015

We had an ice storm last night and today.  Finally at like 11:10 p.m. they canceled school for today.  We lost power at about 12:30 a.m. until about noon today! Scary and it was getting cold in the house.  We sat by the fire most of the morning.

But as of now everything- power/cable/heat/ and internet are working!

Fun with Daddy and Mommy

Olivia had fun with daddy and mommy on Sunday and Monday...

Making tent for her birthday party!

Counting birds with daddy

Making venison jerky

Planting seeds

Competitive games of Candy Land and Hungry Hungry Hippos with mommy!

Valentine's Day

We had a busy Valentine's Day!

Caren and I ran a 15K in the morning...boy was it cold! Caren's piformis syndrome started acting up and my foot has been pretty sore since the race. But we earned our cupcake and medal!

Brendon got up early and made some truffles for me with his little helper!

Brendon and Caren's husband drove together to the Valentine Party at The Davis' house.  The race was about 2 miles from their house.  The girls had a fun time riding together!

Then we had fun at the Valentine Party!

Then we went to a Gwinnett Gladiators game for a Valentine Family Date! Such a fun day!

Big Milestones

In the past week we have had some big milestones:

Can zipper her jacket.
Can button another jacket.
Finally started flushing the toilet by herself again (it scared her for awhile!)
Wrote her first phrase.
Started wiping herself when she has a BM.

And we have a little chore chart for her to earn a quarter every week!

Time needs to slow down!

First Written Phrase

Last Wednesday (February 11th) it was soooo warm!! So after school we played outside for a bit.  Olivia rode her tricycle and then we did chalk.  I told her that we should leave daddy a message.  So I thought I would be doing the writing but instead she wanted to write.  It started with HI which I spelled for her and she wrote and then she wrote daddy.  I had to help with the Y but she totally surprised me!! So proud of her!

Dance Recital Outfit Preview

The book with Olivia's costume has been at the dance studio for a few months.  Olivia never even mentioned to me that she was measured for her costume.  So on Tuesday they got to try on their costumes and show us parents!

This was as good as I could get her to stand still and get her picture.  Sorry my lovely school work made the picture! But so cute! I have a feeling I will be pinning the should straps but it is so cute and even has a matching hair bow! Can't wait to the recital!!
