Guess what we did this weekend???

I can't type about it all now because it will take awhile and there will be lots of photos and maybe a video and it was truly a blogtastic event! Until I have time to record it all though, here is a hint....

Fun at the Zoo!

Yesterday was MUCH better. She literally slept every second of the day that she wasn't eating. I believe it was growth spurt time. Thanks for all the encouraging comments! Today was even better because we went to the zoo with our dear old pals! It was Olivia's first time there and she did great. She slept in her stroller most of the day. I took pics of our cute kiddos and forgot to take any of the cute animals. Oh well I think the kids are way more adorable! Walking through the zoo is quite the workout. I think I am ready for an afternoon nap now!

Wishing I Could Read Her Mind

Olivia crying in pics can be cute. Olivia crying for hours, sweating, turning purple, quitting breathing, arching her back, and refusing to nurse is NOT cute. And that is why there are no pictures of that. Because at that point yesterday I was in tears too, sweating, turning red, and refusing to try to nurse her anymore. My hubby was working on our broken car issue and I literally went to church last night for the sole reason to let someone else hold her for awhile. That's probably awful of me but it's the truth and I needed a break. She did sleep through the night so I'm hoping since she didn't sleep much yesterday that today she will make up for it and hurry and get back to her happy self. There's not anything worse than listening to your baby scream and not have any idea what's wrong, then trying to comfort her every way you know how and it seems to make her madder. Luckily those days are rare and right now she is in a dead sleep, smiling while she dreams beside me in bed and I'm praying today will be a better day. It has to be right?

Get it off my head!!!!!!!!!

But once she saw how cute the hat was she immediately changed her mind.

Baby Ohm...or Om

We've had a rough couple of days with car troubles lately and I'm not sure anything stresses us out more than car issues. We are borrowing a van right now from some friends so thankfully Olivia and I aren't stranded at home since she cannot legally be in Ryan's car. I think Olivia has been feeling the stress of car trouble too and Mommy and Me yoga was just the thing to relieve her tension. Check out how she spent most of our first class on Saturday.Passed out on the wood floor/mat. Yoga just puts her to sleep!

Happy Halloween!

Last night we carved pumpkins at the church and Olivia got to show off her jack-o-lantern outfit. Thank you aunt Amy for the adorable onesie! Here's Ryan scooping out the guts. Yuck! I hate that part. Those patterns and little tools sure do come in handy!We competed for best jack-o-lantern and although we didn't win I must day I think ours turned out pretty awesome. Here is mine all lit up.Ryan's is the one on the right. I think the judges didn't have the same appreciation for emoticons. The winner's is on the left.These were some others that I liked. I think tonight we will just be passing out candy but I guess we could bust out some costumes from years past (see here and here).

Is there anything you can't buy there?!

I saw this info on someone's facebook status and HAD to check it out, and it's true. They sell caskets at Walmart online. And what's even weirder is that it's in the "home" section???? Some of the names of them: Supreme Distinction, White Haven, Executive Privilege, Sterling Deluxe, and Lovely in All Ways. Does anyone else find this hilarious?? Does anyone know of any other odd items they sell there??

So close!

And right when my memory card was full...she smiled. Like an elusive endangered species, it's hard to capture on film but I promise she can! We'll get it one day. Until then, just enjoy the attempt and the awesome morning bed head, and imagine the adorable 3 seconds afterward....
