WOW!! What a difference huh? 

Last year at Jordan's work Christmas party,

This year at Jordan's work Christmas party!

Yes she still has a frightening look on her face, but she went and sat on Santa's lap all by herself. We were in total shock. I just told her it would be okay and that Santa was nice. Also has to tell her all of the kids in front of her in line were going to sit on his lap and didn't need their Mommy and Daddy. She jumped out of my arms and run up and sat on his lap. So proud!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!!!

Wow, hard to believe he is 30!! I asked him how it feels to be 30 and he just looked at me..... oops, I guess its not too exciting. ?? It's okay, I still love him so much.  

Olivia and I decorated the house so when Jordan got home from work he saw it. O was so excited to help me. Kept playing with the balloons and streamers. Told her we had to leave them alone so Daddy could see it when he got home. Was cute because she just kept saying "Happy Birthday Daddy" all day. Guess she couldn't wait for him to actually be there to say it. But she did tell him and gave him a big hug and kiss. We love you Daddy!

SOOOO excited for Christmas!!

 O was so excited to help me decorate the tree. I was excited too, she could actually help me out this year. Was so fun letting her put some of the decorations on. She just thought she was the coolest thing ever. 

 So happy!

She has me turn on the lights every night and just goes and stands by it and says "pretty momma"

Go Cowboys!!!

Alright, here we go. Jordan got offered Dallas Cowboys tickets from a co-worker, and of course he could not pass it up. The Cowboys are "his" team. He was so excited when he got home from work. He told me he got the tickets to the game and we just needed to find a babysitter for O and we could go. I got right on that. Called my sister-in-law and asked if she could watch her Saturday, no problem there. Thanks Shay! Then I called up my sister to watch her Sunday and Monday, and she gladly excepted, what was 1 more kid to her 4 right?! Thanks Monica! And lucky us I have family in Arizona so we stayed with them, thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

The Cowboys played the Arizona Cardinals, it was an awesome game. Sad to say the Cowboys lost in OT. It was still a way fun game and a super cool experience that we will never forget!! 

 I had to take a picture of our tickets. This was on the car ride down!

 Nice view huh?!

 Watching them warm up was pretty cool, we got super close!

 Jordan was on cloud 9!! He was so excited he hardly took any pictures, so it was good I did. 

 Go Cowboys!!!

Me and Jordan had so much fun at the game! We definitely want to do it again!

 Check out this cool Rock star,

 Isn't she stylin'?!

Jordan was playing the Nintendo, so O thought she had to too. Was pretty funny!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving up in Cedar with Jordan's family. It was a lot of fun.

 She loved putting the Olives on her fingers and eating them!

 Eating her Thanksgiving meal in a chair fit for a Queen!

Olivia and her Aunt Shay!

The Cowboys played on Thanksgiving so Jordan had Olivia wear her Jersey for good luck, it worked the Cowboys won!!!

Was out of control!!!

Alright, I'm sorry but it had to be done!! As you saw the title of this post, "Was out of control"! Yes, I am talking about Miss O's hair. You've seen it other posts, it is crazy. (I threw in the pic above to show you her hair, and that's on a good day).  I just had to cut it, yes, I said cut it. Days and days of doing it, okay attempting to do it, just hasn't been working out for me. It's an AFRO!!!! I love it so much, but when it gets to the point where it wont do anything, something has to be done. Hey it will grow back, I know I am a hairstylist. So here are some pics of her getting a haircut. I even put on a cape for the whole effect. 

 Even though she doesn't look happy,

She did good!

 She did good smiling, just not at the camera!

Having fun coloring with Daddy!!!

Busy, busy, busy!!  Man, who knew how crazy it gets when your child turns 2. The back talk, tantrums, pouting, screaming, etc. Yes I am talking about little Miss O. And everybody keeps telling me it's only going to get worse! And that age 3 is insane. Ugh!!! I love her to death, but once she gets in those moods, you just want to....... shall I say?! Let's just say I am a very patience Mom. If either Jordan or I get mad at her she tells on us. It is kind of funny in a way. But when it comes to a little discipline, she does not handle it well. I told Jordan when she is a teenager, she is all his!!!

Random Pictures!!!

 Olivia and Daddy hangin out, watching t.v.

 She had been eating a blue sucker and I told her her tongue was blue so she wanted to see it. I took her into the bathroom to check it out. She thought it was the coolest thing!

 This little stinker did this herself, I promise. Went into her room, got her stool, brought it out, and turned on the lights. I tell ya, she is ALWAYS up to know good!!! I just had to get a pic.!

Love my girl!!

Here are a few pictures of O opening up her presents on her birthday!! She was super excited to open them. 

I'm so mad at myself though, I totally forgot to take pictures at her birthday party. Bad I know! Hope that doesn't make me a bad Mom, sorry Olivia. I was just so caught up with her and helping her open her presents I totally spaced it. My bad!! She had fun anyway. Thanks to all who came, it meant a lot!

And we couldn't help her!!

Happy Birthday Olivia!!!

Wow, so hard to believe that 2 years ago this little bundle of joy was born. What a great blessing in our lives. She is such a joy. Don't know what we ever did without her. We are truly blessed.She is very outgoing, happy, and so loving. She just has a great personality. You can't help but laugh and smile when she is around. Love watching her grow and learn new things. 

Thanks Olivia for being such a sweet young girl. 

Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!

Happy Halloween!

  We took Olivia out trick or treating for the first time. It was so much fun. She was so cute dressed up in her Lady Bug costume. I think she had fun. Although she made me carry her candy. We got to the first house and before we even left the walkway she was having me open the candy. Sure takes after her momma, gotta love it.

 Daddy helping her with her costume!

 Isn't she the cutest Lady Bug?!

For her first time, I think she did good!

She even said Trick or Treat, was so dang cute!!!

Disneyland!!

All right, here we go. We had a blast! Went to Disneyland and California Adventure. Got to ride a ton of cool rides. We took O on rides as well, she had so much fun. That's what I was most excited for, to see her so happy made it all worth it. We also ate at some pretty sweet places too: ESPN Zone, Cheesecake Factory, Rain Forest Cafe, and some other places inside the park. It was fun. Thanks to my Mom and Dad for taking us. Had a ton of fun. We love you!

She had a blast at Disneyland. 
She was so happy!

 On the ride Its a Small World!

O and Daddy!

I think she was happy, don't ya think?!

 She doesn't look excited in the picture, but she was happy to see Mike and Sully from Monsters. She saw them from down the street and starting screaming. 

She liked seeing  Tigger and Winnie the Pooh,

gave them hugs and high fives.
Even told them bye when we left. 

Was so cute!
