We have had a very, very busy weekend! Today, I through a baby shower for our friends, Matt & Teresa. Olivia came with me to help decorate and was such a big helper. Kevin brought Julia later on and everyone at the shower just loved them and they all had to hold Julia. I was very impressed because she didn't cry one bit. Tomorrow, Olivia has a birthday party to go to and we also have to finish packing for the beach. We are so excited about being able to spend almost 2 whole weeks at the beach! Kevin's family is meeting us down there, so seeing them will just make the trip even better! We will be leaving on monday and coming home on the 7th. So, that means Olivia gets to spend her 2nd birthday at the beach! It's so bittersweet...my baby girl is turning 2 years old! I'm so sad because I feel like she is growing up way too fast! We hope everyone has a safe and fun Memorial Day! I will be sure to post pictures as soon as we get home!

I love this little peanut!
Giggling at her daddy
Her sissy LOVES to give her kisses!
The best part of the shower....the CAKE! (she was about to fall asleep, but just had to eat the icing off the cake first!)


WOW momma!!
My precious big girl! I love this picture!

My baby is 2 months old!!!

Last week Julia weighed in at 11lbs 1oz, 21"! She is doing so good. She has begun to smile, giggle and "gah" to us. I love it! It's so sweet how a simple little smile and "gah" can just brighten up your day and make everything better! She is holding her head up better and better every day. Still not there yet, but she's a strong one! She loves to give her daddy a hard time and make him walk around with her whenever he holds her. Olivia is still doing good with her, just starting to do some of the "typical 2 year old" stuff with her. Poking, trying to pinch, licking, all that annoying, stressful stuff! I can't take my eyes off of her but I can't complain because she still helps me out sooooo much! We have had it rough since Kevin has switched to evening shift and caused a major routine change for us, but we're making it! We will be heading to the beach on the 26th for 2 glorious weeks, so we are looking forward to that!

Mother's Day 2008

Mother's day has been wonderful since I have had Olivia, but this year was even better since I have two precious angels to spend it with! We went to Thomaston to see my family and had a nice lunch at my sister's house. We hope that all the mother's out there had a wonderful mother's day also!

Our Family

My sister-in-law, Karrie & nephew Hayden were able to come to Thomaston & visit for a couple of hours while they had a layover on their flight to California. We were so excited to see them! We hadn't seen Hayden since he was 4 weeks old, now he's 5 months! He's so big and just the sweetest little boy! He's such a happy baby. He would just watch you and talk and giggle. While we had them all together we took pictures of all the grandchildren. It's funny how last year when we took Easter pictures of the grandchildren there were just 4...now a year later there are 6! Good thing mammy and pappy have a bus! :)

She played with him more than she does her sister.

Saturday night, Kevin and I were able to get away and go to a wedding shower for a friend of mine in Thomaston. My parents kept the girls and it was such a good feeling to get out for a little while and catch up with old friends. Not to mention introduce Kevin to people I grew up with so that he can put faces to all the names. Even though I love motherhood, it's nice to have a break once in a while...it makes you feel young again! :)

Julia's 1st Bath!

Julia's belly button FINALLY fell off the other day, so she had her first bath! She loved it! She did not cry at all, just sat there and relaxed. Olivia tried to help, but she wanted to get in the tub with her more than anything. They just take after their daddy and love being in the water...at all times! :)
