Rain, Rain GO AWAY

It has been raining pretty much nonstop since this morning.  It rained a lot last evening, but then it stopped.  It is POURING!!!  We want to go outside and play but we can't!  We really just want to jump in the puddles, which we would totally do if it weren't also lightning and thundering.  Boo!  Having an 18 month old and an extremely active dog shut up inside all day long is NO FUN!  On the plus side, the house is now very clean and I got ALL of the laundry done!  

Oh, here are a few pictures from Thursday night when Olivia was looking like such a big girl.  Olivia had solidified her hair with peanut butter, so Natalie did what any pro mother would do and wet it, combed it out, and put it up!  So cute!

Happy Easter!

We had a super fun Easter yesterday.  We got up and went to the early service at church.  The message was phenomenal!  Olivia had a lot of fun in the nursery playing with the other little girl that was in there.  Then we came home so Olivia could take a nap.  As soon as Olivia woke up, we headed over to our "parent's" house in Atascocita.  They are actually Brandon's (our best friend) parents, but they have kind of adopted us since our parents are all back in Indiana.  We had a delicious meal and some really tasty desserts.  The kids hunted eggs in the front yard over and over.  Ok, actually just twice, but we stayed outside and played for a while.  Olivia was definitely hyped up on sugar, even though she didn't really eat all that much candy.  Actually, we have no clue how much she ate, because different people kept giving her things when we weren't watching.  I know this because she came running up to me with chocolate all over her face, but neither Eric nor I gave her any chocolate.  :)  Oh well, it is only Easter once a year!  We headed home and when we walked in the door, Olivia ran to the jelly bean bowl and started asking for some.  NO MORE CANDY!  She cried and cried when we repeatedly said no.  She did scarf down her entire dinner shortly after.  :)  What a fun day!

The little yellow thing hanging off of her basket is a duck calling whistle.  She LOVED it and played with it most of the day.  

Olivia trying desperately to eat through the wrapper to get to the chocolate.

Yay!  Another egg!

Hey guys, look at my basket!

But I don't want to sit and pose for a picture Daddy!  I want to play!

I sure am getting good at finding these little eggs!

Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Neeser

Last weekend my Grandma and Grandpa Neeser came to visit me.  I had so much fun seeing them and playing with them.  They took me out to eat a lot and fed me delicious food.  On Friday when they got here, I was still taking a nap at my neighbor's house, so Grandma (Nana) Becky baked some cookies.  When I woke up, she gave me one and now I am hooked on "tookies"!  Saturday morning we got up and drove downtown to "The Breakfast Klub" for some breakfast.  It is a little local joint and it was SO AWESOME!  My pancake was as big as my head, and I ate half of it!  Everyone was shocked!  After my nap, we went to Old Mac Donald's Farm for some fun!  I chased the goats around, and then they chased me around trying to eat my jacket.  One escaped and started running all around the farm.  It was funny.  Then we went to Toys-R-Us to look for a little vehicle that I could ride.  I threw a HUGE fit when it was time to leave.  All I wanted to do was keep on riding the little trike they had there.  No one would listen to me.  That's ok, then we went to Target and G'ma and G'pa bought me a lil quad!  :)  I rode it all night in the house, and then played with it all day Sunday, too!  We relaxed on Sunday and enjoyed spending time together.  I had an awesome time with you Nana and Buppa!  I'm sorry if I forgot any part of your visit, but I'm just a kid.  Love you!

I love my new ride!  Mommy will put the stickers on today!

My Nana and Buppa!

Shortly after this photo, I became obsessed with this statue.

I don't think Mommy hears me saying "off" and "down"...so I'll yell louder.

I'm not too sure about this doggie.  (She thinks everything is a doggie.)

Nice bunny.

Bad bunny.  Or should I say bad Olivia.  I don't know why she kicks animals.

Mommy, why is this doggie eating out of my stroller?  She was so confused!

This goat made several attempts to eat O's jacket and my engagement ring!

I love to swing.  Weeeee!

Yeehaw! Fun at the Rodeo

Yesterday we went to the rodeo!  :)  Eric, Olivia, Beth (a great old friend) and I met the Cochrans (Nick, Jaime, and Latham) at the rodeo for some fun.  Parking was NOT fun...and that is all I will say about that.  :)  Anyway, when we FINALLY got in, we went to the kids area for Olivia.  Her favorite part BY FAR was the outdoor petting zoo.  As soon as she got in, she threw her arms out in the air and squealed!  It was so cute.  She was following all the goats around and squealing at them.  She had a couple little goats that she always went back to, but she was a wild girl in that pen.  She "petted" the animals violently, and I kept having to remind her to be gentle.  At one point she made several attempts to KICK a little piggie, and when that didn't work, she made her best effort to RIDE the little piggie.  When that failed, she decided she would try to PICK UP the little piggie.  Poor piggie.  I didn't know pigs could move that fast.  :)  She pulled some ears, swatted at some tails, and slapped a few noses.  All in all, I say she had a marvelous time. 

You can't catch me Mommy!

Latham and Olivia enjoying the pig races!

Olivia is telling that little boy all about baby goats.  :)

Just try to get away from me goat!  I dare you!

Some of that tail slapping in action!

This little goat was just her size.  She loved it!  Later they had a staring contest.

Olivia and me.  She's staring at Jaime, who is behind the camera trying to make her smile.  

This is the only kind of carrot I will eat.  Hey, where is the ketchup?

Hiya cutie!

 

Our weekend with Lisa and Addy!!!

Olivia is taking a rest on Addy, who doesn't seem to appreciate it much.

All weekend, Olivia would touch Addy's head and say, "Addy!" It was so cute, but Addy never thought so.

Rock star #1 (Don't her legs look super short? I don't know what happened.)

Rock star #2


Addy is sooo close to crawling!

This time Olivia put the truck on Addy's head and said "Addy".

She really liked to inspect Addy's hair.

We had a super fun weekend because my sister Lisa and Addy came to visit us. Too bad the weather was so...not fun! Oh well, we still managed to have a blast. They came in on Friday evening, and the girls met again. Olivia LOVED Addy!!! Addy really liked Olivia, until she came in for the hugs and kisses. It was then that Addy wasn't quite sure what to think of her. Addy LOVED Lupe...until she got up close and personal for some loving...then Addy wasn't too sure of her. Silly Addy. Saturday we drove to Katy Mills and got the girls some cute stuff. They played some more today and then we went out for lunch. Both girls ended up with snotty noses this weekend so between both girls I feel like all we have been doing is wiping noses! We just took them back to the airport! :( We didn't want them to leave! Addy, Olivia is already looking for you. OK, maybe she's really just looking for your sea horse...but she said she misses you. When are you coming back???

My weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Comerford

Last weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Comerford came to visit me.  We had a lot of fun together!  They took me to the park, let me play on the playground, and took me on lots of stroller rides.  We went out to eat at some great restaurants while they were here!  My favorite was Chuy's!  I hung out with G'ma and G'pa on Friday and Monday while Mommy and Daddy were at work.  They really know how to have a good time!  Thanks for coming to visit me Grandma and Grandpa!  I love you!
