I don't like fireworks

Well it was another rainy day...more work on Olivia's bathroom was done.  We kept Olivia up for some fireworks on our street.  Last year she did great when we watched fireworks...I guess we were far from the booms.  This year she sat through about 3 and she was done.  We will have to try to take her again somewhere and not be too close!

Rainy Day PlayDoh

Sitting for about 5 mins to watch the fireworks and then was done!

4th of July

3th of July started early! I got up at 3:15 a.m. and was out the door at 4:30 to be at my friends house to go to the Peachtree Road Race.  I admit I did not sleep well the night before...nerves, rain, and everyone else being up doesn't help.  So I probably slept about 3 hours at the most.  It was a wet morning and we got to wait in our friends Joan's and Tina's hotel room before the start of the race.  It was nice...we were prepared though...ponchos, extra shoes, and socks.  I had a great run...a new PR for a 10K of 55:28! I was so proud of myself.  I wish I could of been a bit faster though...but I felt great most of the race!

After the race we headed home for some lunch and playing.  I was sooo tried and all I wanted to do was nap.  By the time Olivia went down I was ready to sleep too.  I guess everyone didn't get that message so I was grouchy that everyone was so loud, I had Jake in the bedroom because he was forgotten by the awake people and I had the monitor on.  Needless to say I was grouchy and tired and annoyed by dinner time and it was raining...again...

After dinner I worked more in Olivia's bathroom...we took down all the wall paper and painted.  Then we gave Olivia a bath and got her ready for bed.  I guess no one gave me the memo that they were leaving for fireworks...after I got Olivia down, Jake ran upstairs and I came downstairs and no one was there.  Jake usually parks himself on the couch for the night at this point.  So I just went and worked in her bathroom and then went to bed. 

Haircut and the Flying Machine

Mema and Pepa came back last night and Olivia was sooo excited.  We went swimming and then had dinner.

Today Karson came over for a visit this morning.  Then we went and got Olivia her first real haircut.  We cut the back and the bangs.  The hairstylist even gave me a bag of some of her hair.  Don't worry it is not short...we only took off a tiny bit.  After nap time we got ready for dinner at The Flying Machine.  Olivia loved it.  It is so neat to watch the airplanes take off and land! Then we went for frozen yogurt at Lickety Splitz.  It was yummy!

Lily's Shower

Today we celebrated for Lily's baby girl Camila who is arriving soon!  So much fun...brunch, games, presents, and cupcakes!

Pool Party

Today we had our 2nd annual pool party! It was nice and sunny all day and then of course when it was time to party the clouds came.  While we were swimming it then decided to rain.  It is ok...we still had fun! Brendon smoked 2 pork butts and 2 chickens.  They were soooo yummy!! We had lots of good desserts too- cake, cobbler, ice cream, cream puffs, brownies....so yummy!

Swimming before the rain!

Yummy!

Who doesn't want a story read by Kristy?

Dessert thieves!

Friday Blahs....

Mema and Pepa snuck out this morning to go see Aunt Kara and her family.  Olivia kept asking where they went! I explained to her that they went to go see Aunt Kara and that they would be back in a few days.  She seemed ok with that answer.

After a few attempts of pooping on the potty this morning...she pooped in her pants.  It was a hot mess...so gross! But she went.  When we were at the doctor yesterday she suggested to start some Miralax with her.  Well I didn't even give it to her yet since she went today. 

Olivia and I ran to the store for some items for our pool party tomorrow and she was pretty good. 

We had lunch and then a disaster of brushing her teeth and taking a nap.  She did the same thing last night.  She refused to brush her teeth and got really upset when I brushed them.  I mean like screaming and crying.  I have never heard her scream like this.  Well she did it again at nap time and then bedtime tonight.  I am hoping this is all because we went on vacation but boy oh boy...sweet little Olivia turns into a different child.  The screaming is horrible!! I hope this goes away.  This too shall pass.  And to top it off tonight...she had like a million accidents tonight...a million no...but like 4 or 5...one poop and like 4 pee pee accidents.  Yesterday she did great and wore the same underwear, and today not so much!

Gwinnett Braves Game

We started off Thursday with a long wait at the pediatrician's office.  Olivia had yucky eyes the whole time in New York.  I had drops but they didn't seem to be working. So we spent the better part of the morning at the doctor's office.  But we got some wipes to try first and then some drops if it isn't any better. 

At night we went to the Gwinnett Braves Game.  It was a gorgeous night.  It was a good game too.  Olivia was much more interested in the game this time!
