Vacation is almost over:(

Yesterday Ollie and myself packed up the car and headed up to Walnut Creek to visit my sister and her family. The past couple road trips Ollie has been a total pill in the car so we decided to get a DVD player that attaches to the back of the head rest. Let me tell you, that is the best $100 that we have spent in a long time. I got him Toy Story and a Yo Gabba Gabba DVD and I didn't hear one peep out of him the entire ride!

Today my sister's friend Jamie is coming into town and I think we are going to do a little shopping. Then later tonight they are going to a concert and Joey is coming up on the train.

Finger painting fun!

What a fun day we had today! I have been wanting to change up Oliver's room from a nursery to a big boy room. A friend of mine had her kids do this and I thought it was a great idea and I knew Ollie would love doing it.









It sure was messy, but we had a ton of fun!

I'll post pictures of his finished masterpiece as soon as I get them hung up in his room.

Fun at the Zoo

Today Ollie, my mom, and myself met Aimee and Marlee at the zoo. We got there nice and early and the weather was beautiful! Ollie had a great time with Marlee.





After the zoo we went to lunch and then dropped my mom off at home. I had a doctors appointment at 3 so my mom came over around 2:30 to watch Ollie(he was napping when I had to leave). Got home at 4 and Ollie was still sleeping! He had such a long day he was exhausted!

Not sure what we have going on tomorrow. One thing I do want to do is watch the DVD that came with the clippers that I bought a couple months ago. Ollie's hair grows so fast that I am hoping I can do a good job cutting his hair so I can start doing it on a regular basis.

Vacation

I am on vacation this weeks and it feels so nice. Today Joey had to work a half day so Ollie and I just hung around the house in the morning and didn't do much. At around 4:30 we headed over to our friend's house for a wonderful BBQ. While there Ollie found a couple girlfriends!


Ollie, Baylee, and Marlee

Tomorrow my mom, Ollie, and myself are headed to the zoo with Marlee and her mom Aimee.

While I am on vacation this week I am planning a couple things with Ollie. One BIG thing is potty training. The past couple months he has shown some interest, then this last week he went on the potty TWICE!!!

Then on Thursday me and Ollie are headed up to Walnut Creek to spend a couple days with my sister and her family. Then on Saturday Joey is going to meet us up there and we are going to spend time with his mom. Saturday night is Bob's 50th birthday party!

Since I won't be working this week I am really going to try and post everyday.

Aunt Ally comes for a visit

This past Sunday Joey's mom came to Fresno to drop Allison off to spend a couple days with us. It has been really nice having her here and able to entertain Ollie while I am trying to get things done around the house.

Monday they went to the zoo and yesterday just hung out around the house. Today Allison and Joey are taking the train back up to Walnut Creek to drop her off.


This is his muscle pose!



Funny face



At the zoo

Joey said that he LOVED the zoo! I am on vacation in a couple weeks so I am planning on taking him to the zoo and Storyland.

Oh how times change

When Ollie was younger whenever someone would get a camera out, he would give you the biggest cheesiest smiles ever. Like this...



Now, I get this..

Oliver's 2nd Birthday Party

This past Saturday we had Oliver's party at our house. It was so nice having family and close friends help celebrate his special day. Oliver loves Mickey right now so we decided to have a Mickey Mouse theme. I found that you can personalize shirts through the online Disney store and got him the cutest shirt with Mickey and his name on it.



He got some great gifts. Some of the things he got were: a fire truck puzzle that you can color on, a tricycle, a Harley Davidson big wheel, new shoes, a couple new outfits, a cookie monster doll, a helmet, cars, legos, and Rody a cool blow up horse that he can bounce on. I am sure I am missing some stuff, but as you can see he is very spoiled.




I know I have said it before, but I seriously can't believe he is going to be 2 tomorrow. Where has the time gone?
