It's Super-Saucer Time!!

Julia has begun to sit in her little super-saucer. She'll only last about 15 minutes or so in it, but she loves looking at all the toys on it. There is a little bee and a flower that she tries to get with her hand at times, but she's still not quite to that point yet. We are working on it though!

"Hey there, Mr. Flower".

Julia's 1st time going to church!

Since things have been crazy around here we haven't been able to go to church as much as we've wanted to. This Sunday was the 1st time that Julia has been to church. She stayed in the nursery and did great! Olivia on the otherhand still wouldn't stay in the nursery, so we took her up to the service with us and amazingly she did a great job of being very quiet. She loved clapping and dancing to the music!

Our baby girl is rolling over!!

That's right...not even 4 months yet and rolling over! July 11th was the big day! She has been rolling over in her bed for the past couple of weeks, but I could never catch her doing it. Plus, the contour of the bed was helping her out a little bit. BUT she was playing on her floor gym and there she went, so I knew that all the practicing was for something! She can also turn a complete 360 when she's on the floor. I couldn't get a picture of her rolling because I was too busy videoing it, but I did get some of her in her Bumbo seat. Speaking of the Bumbo seat....after I took these pictures and sat my camera down in the kitchen and turned back around to see that Julia was almost pushing herself out of the Bumbo with her legs. She's a strong one, that's for sure!

ALWAYS has her best friend...the fist!
pretty blue eyes!
nothin' but love!

The other day, Olivia's friend Ella Kate came over to play. They had a lot of fun together but are both in the "mine" stage, so Kristin and I had to referee the whole time. Olivia loved having someone to play with, especially in her little pool!

Just a little update...

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us because it is working! As I had said before, I changed my major to Education. Well, I met with an advisor today to see if my Associate of Science would satisfy the core needed to get into the program. I had prepared myself and figured that they wouldn't accept everything and that I would have to take a couple of core classes, since my degree is a little different. Well, they accepted them ALL and I'm actually going to start taking the Education classes in August. I'm going to take the GACE in August, which is basically like the SAT but for Education majors. If I pass that and the classes I take this fall, then I can apply to start the program in the Spring if I want. Everything is falling into place and working out for me tremendously....especially taking my classes around Kevin's schedule. I couldn't be more excited. Thanks again for all your prayers!

Happy 4th of July!!

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Callaway Gardens
We met my best friend, Lindsey and her boyfriend Davy at Callaway Gardens to watch a band and see fireworks. Even though it stormed most of the time it was so good to get out and be with friends.

Olivia's 1st "Official" Haircut

A couple of weeks ago, I took Olivia to get her hair trimmed. There is a cute little kids salon called Pigtails & Crewcuts here and it's so fun for the kids. She was so big and did everything the lady asked her too. I only got her to even up the ends so it wasn't much, but it was her first haircut in a salon!!

Prayer Request

I wanted to make a little prayer request for myself and our family. I was not able to get into nursing school...so...I decided to make a change in my major and go into Education. There are many reasons for my decision, but it has been very difficult for me to give up my dream of becoming a nurse. I have been praying that God will lead me in the right direction and help me to feel positive about this change. I feel like Education would be a great field for me to go into. Please just keep us in your prayers as I make this change since it not only effects me but our family. Thank you! :)

Olivia is 2 years old!!!

I just absolutely can not believe that my baby girl is now 2 years old! We were so excited that we were able to celebrate it not only at the beach but with Kevin's family and good friend Okie & his girlfriend Ricki. She kept telling me that she wanted an Ariel cake and a Giraffe cake!?! Where she got the giraffe idea from, who knows! Needless to say, she got the Ariel cake. She got lots of great presents (thank you everyone again!!). We also had a party back home with my family and I will put pictures up of that soon, along with a couple other milestones we just went through. Enjoy!
