Destin Vaca Day 2 and 3!

We have been to the beach for the past 2 mornings in a row form about 10-12:00. Katherine and Andie are loving the big waves, Addison not so much. Addison is happy as long as the salty water is nowhere near her face, can't relay blame her there. We had some nice crab legs Sunday night. Katherine shared with me, Addison tasted the crab and was o.k. with it. Andie tasted the crab, had several more bites, and is asking when we can get some more! Ben is not a crab fan, so it is nice that the girls are. Little Lauren Lulu has been bonding with Grandpa Oliver and loving it.
We decided to eat dinner at the house last night, so we did grilled chicken corn on the cob and salad. It was nice to have a quiet night in.
Katherine and Andie were super excited to go on a walk on the beach at night with G & G Oliver lat night. They saw crabs, talked to people that were fishing and found sand fleas. I guess sand fleas make good bait...
We are planning on shopping today! Wish us luck at the outlets!

Destin Vaca Day 1!

We have been so excited to get the heck out of dodge for a vaca. Ben had been planning our getaway since early this year. We did our usual June swim team and then Andie had to get her tonsils out on Addison's 3rd birthday June 29th. So Andie needed recovery time. Somehow with all that plus the extra stresses of life we were able to drive to Destin,FL today.
The car ride went very well, considering the fact that no one felt the need to take a nap and Lauren threw up twice (YUCK). We got checked into our beach house and ventured out to the beach while we had our first load of laundry in the wash including Lauren's car seat! The beach is a short 5 min walk, but oh it is worth it! I watched as Addison dug her toes into the sand and Lauren felt sand on her feet for the first time ever. The sand here is beautiful! No oil bits here, knock on wood. Ben is on his way to pick up his parents from the airport. They are visiting from Nevada, and we are so excited to have them here with us. Here are a few pics and expect more to come over the week.


Addsion rocking out to Justin Beiber, we made her use earphones because we had our fill durring the first hours of the drive.

Katherine's 12!

Katherine turned 12 on Oct 18 and I am just now making a post. I know I am pathetic. I can't believe that my first baby is now 12. We are now entering the Young Women's program of which we will be apart of for the next 18 years. Katherine started middle school this year and we have been so impressed with how well she is doing. She is making new friends, enjoying her teachers, and getting good grades. Katherine has started babysitting for us here and there too. What a relief it is to have a live in babysitter!
I am so proud to be the mother of this super fantastic amazingly wonderful girl. I am looking forward to the next 12 years to come!

Lauren's first bath!

Lauren was ready for her first bath and grandma was up for the job! Lauren enjoyed the warm water and grandma just couldn't get enough of her. It was fun to see them enjoy the bath time and snap a few pictures. We are all doing well with this great sleeping baby who has even set herself a bed time of 8PM. Lauren weighed in at 7lbs 12oz last week at the dr. and is now above her birth weight!
Our sweet Katherine seems to have come down with the flu tonight. She has not been sick for over one year. She even had perfect attendance last year at school. I guess it was her time to catch a bug. Let's just hope it does not last for to long, my brother Aaron arrives in town on Wed and Andie's baptism and Lauren's blessing all happen next weekend... Hopefully she will get better and no one else will catch it from her.

Introducing Lauren Pamla Oliver!

Lauren was born August 15 at 1:54PM. She weighed in at 7lbs 9oz and 21" long. She has been such an angel. She is sleeping better than any baby I have had and I am loving it. Here is you first peak at her!

All is not lost!

I promise I am not missing in action. Life is so busy, how do any of us find the time to sit down and blog. I love the idea and being able to check in on friends, I just wish there was more time in the day to do it. 2littlemammas has been very busy and exciting lately. Our new site is up, visit through the link on the right. We are being featured in Pregnancy and Newborn magazine's July issue. I have been sewing side jobs like crazy, more pics on that to come! We just celebrated Andie's 8th birthday and Addison's 2nd two days later. Not to mention that I am now 33 weeks pregnant and we have started the countdown to baby Lauren's arrival. Seven weeks to go! Aug 21st, estimated date of arrival. I am tired just thinking about it all. I know that I am not alone, you are all so busy. I enjoy checking in on you through your blogs and I will try to do better myself too.
