Picture time! :)

Here are a few recent pictures.. hope you enjoy! 

If you give a toddler a cake.. oh goodness. Should have known better. BUT, I decided I'd be a nice Madre and gave Olivia some cake and she made the BIGGEST mess.. ever. Hahaha. Love her, though!

My brother, Bobby, decided to take Olivia to the ocean (the nasty gulf, lol) while I was at my parents this past weekend. He is the BEST brother a girl could ask for and he is the most AMAZING Uncle to Olivia. So thankful for him & love the crap out of him!
Aren't they just adorable together? :)

He's amazing. You know you wish your Uncle was that amazing. ;)

Bobby, Olivia, my cousin Jaina, and I.
Family picture! :) 

Long Time No Blog..

Long time no blog, eh? I have been SUPER DUPER busy, so I'm sorry to the few people that actually read this blog. Well, for starters I'm at the airport making time for this post. This weekend I went to my parents house to visit (without Olivia) and now I'm leaving. ): So sad. I'd probably stay way longer if it weren't for school, work, and the fact that I didn't bring Olivia! My parents are the absolute best.

Well I should probably get going, as my flight is soon. :-)

Adios!

Pictures.

Party, party, partttyy; 4 year old style.
Here are a few pictures from Olivia's party.

Olivia and I.

Got to eat that cake!

When I said a few, I literally meant a few. :) Haha.

Take care,

Who was the birthday girl?!

Whaattt?!?! A four year old!? Are you kidding me?

On August 10th Miss. Olivia turned FOUR! Are you for shizzles?! Where have the past 4 years gone?! Seems like just the other day she was born! But wow, is she growing up SO fast. We had a family get together at my parents house in Lubbock, it was such a long, tiring drive but it was so worth it. :). Olivia had a blast and I can't lie, I did too! These past 4 years have been pretty tough.. but who said raising a baby alone while being a teen was easy, right? The challenges we have faced have shown me that us 2 girls can conquer the world! -- or that's how I'm feeling right now anyways. :).

....

I love you, Olivia Marie! You're growing into a gorgeous young lady! Happy birthday, sweet girl. :). 

With love,

Who's home?! :D

Guess who's home?! [If you've been following up and have read my previous posts, you know who it is.] OLIVIA! This mama is a very happy mama! I picked her up, we went to lunch, and this is what I get:

Olivia loves lemons!

This is typical Liv. Oh, how she brightens my day and puts me in the best mood ever! Now tell me it can't get better than this, my baby girl is home! Whoo! Now I get to prepare for this dreaded drive.. Lubbock here we come!

With love,

Summer days! :).

Oh the joys of summer days with no child. Let's just say I can do things I can't do while I have Olivia with me! Like today. A nice day at the pool with some of my BFF's and some drinks. Ooh, how relaxing! Oh and a plus? I got a nice tan! What a great way to spend a gorgeous yet extremely hot day!? [This is when I insert a picture, right?]

Sorry Marc for cropping you out! ;) 

Hope you're enjoying your summer break! Enjoy it while it lasts. :).

With love, 

Should I stay or should I go?

"Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble. And if I stay there will be double. So come on and let me know. Should I stay or should I go?" Oh, some 80's music. What's sad is I wasn't even born then.. haha. But this song is kind of what I'm feeling right now.. Olivia gets home Wednesday afternoon from Brett's. And sometime soon we have to drive to Lubbock for her birthday party. But the big question is should I go Thursday.. or should I go next week? Hmm.. what to do, what to do? Decisions, decisions!

On a better note, to get my mind off of this long ass drive of 8 hours-- (What kind of parents move 8 hours away from their daughter, son, and granddaughter? Obviously mine!) -- anyways, as I was saying.. I'm going to lay out at the pool all day long with some gal-pals and boy-toys! ;) Be jealous.. very jealous! Hope everybody else's day is fun and exciting and maybe even relaxing!?.

With love,
