A few more pictures from last weekend

Here are a few more pictures from last weekend that I didn't get posted. We were non stop busy with bbq's, birthday parties, and games! Olivia had such an awesome time!


Friday night we took in the Isotopes baseball game with Joe and Diane Diaz. Olivia loved it! She caught on quick to clap when everyone else did-so darn cute!

Saturday was Katie Kline's birthday party at Chucky Cheese. It was Olivia's first (of many-I'm sure) visits there. She wasn't quite sure what to think of the rides.

More pictures of Olivia in her Hawkeye cheerleading outfit. This is at the Wildcats football game on Father's Day.



The Kline's with Olivia-she just loves them!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to Pat, our dads, Dave and Lee, and all the Fathers out there. Hope everyone is having a fun and relaxing day! We are going to the NM Wildcats football game. Olivia is all geared up and ready to go in her Iowa Hawkeye cheerleading outfit!

Go Hawks!!

Here's Olivia doing her "touchdown". Believe it or not, I had taught her this. It started out as "so big", and then I added "touchdown" to it. In this video, she's just about to go down for a nap, so it's not a 100% effort on her part, but still so darn adorable!

Just checking everything out










I haven't posted anything on Olivia for a couple weeks, as I've been told by Grandma Driscoll :) so here are a few pictures from yesterday. Olivia is keeping us busy as ever. There isn't anything she won't try or taste at least once. I am regretting not keeping a camera in my pocket. The other day I changed her diaper before her nap and she had kicked her shorts off in the process. So instead of fighting to put them back on, I just put her in her crib in her shirt and diaper. I could hear her playing and laughing for almost an hour and then she was fussing. I thought she would wear herself out and just fall asleep, but she didn't. I went in to check on her and she was standing in the crib, holding the bars with one hand, and had her diaper in the other. I don't know how she got it off, but it was the cutest thing. Knowing everything goes in her mouth, I didn't think I should go get the camera for this one!

Brayden's Birthday Party

Today we went to Brayden's 1st birthday party. He is our friends, Chris and Maria's son. Maria and I were 10 weeks apart pregnant (they ended up being 8 weeks apart), so it was fun sharing those stories as we both went through our pregnancy together. Now it is hard to believe Brayden is turning one (June 10th), and Olivia will be right behind him. We had a great time at the party. Olivia had so much and was right in there to help Brayden break in his new toys. She really liked his Little Tikes car-it's similar to the little police car the Klines have. Looks like we already have her birthday present picked out!

Wildcats Football Game

Pat is the team Chiropractor for the New Mexico Wildcats arena football league. He started mid-season and is absolutely loving it. He has been treating all the players and goes to the home games to treat them there as well. Olivia and I attended our first game Friday night. It didn't start until 7pm, but Olivia made it all the way through until after 10 and had so much fun. She clapped and yelled and really got into it. After the game we got to go down on the field and Olivia had a ball crawling around. We're looking forward to the next home game, June 21st. Pat gets around 200 free tickets to pass out to his patients, so if anyone's interested, let us know! (in the above picture, Pat is the 3rd to the left of the time clock in the black shirt)

Olivia is 10 months old today!

Hard to believe another month has passed by! Olivia is getting to be quite the little independent little girl. She is almost done with baby food. She loves to feed herself table food-her favorites are bananas, cheese, chicken, and just recently, ice cream. She is also on the move everywhere. We really have to keep an eye on her-she's at the typical stage where she's quite curious, gets into everything, and puts about anything in her mouth. She's already checked out all the cupboards and what's in them. Pat got the child proof things on them tonight, so I'm sure she won't be happy about that. As far as the dogs-she's chasing them everywhere. It's comical to see them take off when she gets within a two feet radius of them! Olivia is quite the highlight of our life and we are enjoying every busy minute of her!


Olivia at the dog/baby gate. She loves to play with it. On the other side is Pat putting in the child proof locks on the cupboards. I don't think she's happy about what she sees!

Olivia helping Dad put the locks on the liquor cabinet. The longer he worked on it, the more liquor bottles came tumbling out. I eventually had to get Olivia out before she drove Pat to drinking all of them!
