Happy 2nd Birthday Olivia!

It's hard to believe my baby is 2! She is definately getting to be more independent, but she is still my little love bug. We celebrated her big day this year with family in Dallas. It was low key since she wasn't feeling 100%, but she didn't seem to mind. Here are a few pictures from her big day!

It's Getting Hot In Here!

A few weeks back, our A/C went out. No big deal it was only 100 degrees outside, with no breeze! We did get a bit of a cool front so we were able to stay at the house for a few of the nights (it is much easier than trying to pack up our entire house to go stay somewhere else.) Thankfully, we had already planned a weekend trip to Dallas so we just extended our trip and tried to make the most of it. My parents, who has just been through a similar ordeal, let us borrow their window unit, which was wonderful...at least for cooling down one room of our house. This went on for over a week, with the last two nights being too warm to stay at the house. We decided to stay somewhere that would have things for Olivia and I to do during the day, so we chose the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort. (To make matters worse, Olivia was really congested and just feeling better from a viral infection, so she was acting okay, but her doctor said she shouldn't be going to school because she was contagious.)

Let me tell you this was the greatest place on earth, next to Disney and the beach. There were several restaurants to choose from, a HUGE pool complete with a sandy beach, inner tubes, a lazy river, water slide and a splash pad. Poor Greg had to work, so he missed out on some of the fun, but we managed to have some fun with him too! At night, they gave out smore kits to make smores over the various fire pits. Out room was also right next to the playground, so we were able to walk out our patio and play.

Part of the pool, this picture doesn't do it any justice, but my camera phone was all I had.Here is my little Liv Bug, enjoying the pool.
