Zaxby's, Wild River Country, and pizza!




I haven't written much lately. This week I haven't felt great. Sore throat, stuffy nose, headache, etc. I haven't even been on the computer as much which is unheard of for me!!
I am not sure what is the last thing I have told you about besides Anna starting school. We had a busy weekend last weekend full of dancing with the Deborah Company. I was actually happy that Monday started a new week! I was exhausted. I am very thankful I don't have to get up and go to work. I am blessed of God!! I also have an awesome daughter who stays up late with momma and sleeps in late too! I couldn't ask for anything more.
Uncle Trey came over one day this week and hung out. Olivia loves it when he comes over because he plays with her. He is so good with her and they adore each other! Wednesday night we went over to my parents...Mammaw and Grandad...we try to go over there at least one night a week for them to see Olivia. If not I get a phone call asking where she is. Olivia loves going over there because there is always a house full of people to pay attention to her. This time was no different. Let's see there was Mammaw, Grandad, Uncle Trey and Casey, Uncle Ben and Linsey and Jeremy. Olivia is not too sure about Jeremy and this was the first time for her to be around LInsey for any length of time. Linsey got on the floor and played with her and she ate that up. She always plays well with Casey. She says Casey and it is soo cute. I wish everyone could hear her.
Mammaw and Grandad bought Olivia a picnic basket that is full of fruits and veggies. She loves to go grocery shopping with it and pretends to eat on them. She learned what broccoli is and says it so cute...bwocci.
Today (Thursday) we went with Adrianne, Tate, and Brett for the day. We went over and picked them up from their house and then went by Mammaws work. That is always a treat for Mammaw to get to see Olivia in the middle of the day. We then had to go by Tate and Brett's nanna's work. She owns Ramhorn Furniture in downtown NLR. Olivia had never been there and was shy at first of course. She finally got down and was walking around and noticed a little ride on toy that she thought was fun. She played on it and when it was time to leave she said, "bye mommy" This is from the child that is attached to my hip! She was letting me walk out the door to leave her at some strange place to play with this toy!! Needless to say, Mrs. Angela gave it to Olivia so we now have a new toy to add to her collection. And this one goes "BEEP BEEP"!!
After those errands we went to Maumelle and had lunch at Zaxby's. That was a first for us. It was pretty good. Olivia like it. We then went by the ALlstate office that I worked for when I first got married and until I was about 6 months pregnant. Heath was a fun guy to work for and I hadn't seen him since I was pregnant. He had never met Olivia. I am not in Maumelle very often...ok never....so we took advantage of it and stopped by to say hi! It was good to see him.
Maumelle has changed sooo much since the last time I was there. Walmart wasn't even there the last time I was there!
We finally made our way to Wild River Country!! It was alot of fun and not that busy at all. Olivia loves it and it wears her out!! We stayed all day until about 5pm. No sunburns though!!! YEA!! Just my tan water baby.
We took Adrianne and the boys home and we made our way home. I ordered pizza from Dominos to be delivered because I was way too tired to think of cooking much less actually do it! Daddy was glad that Olivia was home and helped give her a bath. We are now relaxing in bed and while I write this blog Olivia is laying her with my watching PBS kids sprout. She loves being a sproutlet!! If you have no idea what I am talking about check out www.sproutonline.com
That's all for now. We are considering Wild River COuntry again tomorrow. We will see how mommy feels in the morning!! We are definately getting season passes next summer for the whole family though!!

Hey Jen, I remembered you sending out a link to your blog at some point on myspace too. I don't login to myspace very much and I never saved it. But, I have it saved now so I can check you out. ; ) The easiest way to tell you how to save a site is when you are signed in and viewing your blog, go to customize, then it will take you to another screen. To the right, it has a link that says favorite links, click on that and then you can add people/sites that you want on your page. TTYL Luv u

Of course, Wendy remembers you. I thought we had talked about this recently, but maybe not. You don't remember when I came over your house talking about Wendy and I being friends. Wendy and I were best friends in the 2nd grade and lost touch around 7th or 8th grade when she moved to her dad's. Anyway, she found me on myspace a while back and lives, not even a mile from me. We talk often now. It's funny, it feels like we never missed a beat. She and her kids were over my house last night. Anyway...
