The end..

well i finally decided to end this blog... With Olivia's blog she pretty much tells everything we do since we do not go anywhere without her and makes no need to continue this one.

I am going to start a seperate blog for my paintings since olivia will not blog about that :)

here is the link if you want to check it out.

thank you for following our journey and hopefully you enjoy olivia's first year :)

love you all!!

home and errands

Well some of you know and some of you don't but Olivia has her own blog.

I got the idea from my friend stefanie who has a project 365 blog. Everyday she takes at least one picture and talks about her day.
little Olivia now talks about her day and will posts pictures of her first year with us. It's a lot of fun and feel free to follow.

I went to the new kohl's that opened here in rancho last thursday with jason's mom. I didn't end up buying anything but it was nice to look around. It was my first shopping experience with Olivia without jason. It was really weird, even though jo was there and helped with her. It was really hard to get into shoppin because I kept worrying about her. I went back on friday alone and dropped Olivia off with Jason at the office. Shopping is much easier without her lol I love her but she is too little to go shopping with me. I was so happy to get some new clothes. I'm hoping to continue to lose weight but at least I have something to feel comfortable in the meantime. So far I'm down 24 lbs since giving birth, 12 was her though hahaha I still have about 30 to go (yes I gained 50 lbs aahh) but at least we are going in the right direction. :)

me and olivia <3




Friday we went to yuba city after work.

It was my sister gabrielle's 17th birthday and my brother stefan is leaving for about three months to work on a film with my mom in mexico.

i cut our heads off aaahhh



Life has been pretty normal, running errands with Olivia has been interesting. We pretty have figured out we can get one place in and have to either feed her in the car to go somewhere else or go home to feed her. We have been doing a little of both.

We bought some Disney princess story books a couple weeks ago and I read cinderella to her the other day after feeding her.




I cried a little hahahaha I couldn't help it, I would look down at her and see her looking at me and it was just precious.

Jason put on Sesame street as he held her while I was making dinner. It was so cute. We know she doesn't quite know whats going on but its still fun.



My dad and gabi came to town on sunday to go to lunch for my birthday since they couldnt make it last week.We went to claim jumpers, i just love it there! I had to take a picture of the chandalier, i love the inside of that place. I think because it reminds me so much of my dad lol



I has someone take our picture, poor olivia was distracted by a bright shiny penny lol maybe not but it sounds funny.





Gabs, If you are reading this i just have to say.. I looove you in pictures! You are so cute and have the best smile <3


Most of what I have in here is in olivia's blog as well since she is always with us buut here is one picture she doesnt have..





it's a little dark but this is me at almost 1 am.. watching my loving husband and little princess asleep.. but waiting for her to wake up to feed her hahaha I promise we don't sleep with her like that all night. She has her own little bed with sides so we dont roll on her in our bed :)

Since Olivia has her own blog most of her pictures will be in there :)

hope you enjoyed this and I will try to keep this updated once a week or so :)

xoxoxo

Room, birthday and shopping

I'm going to start this with Olivia's room. We finally got it done (bathroom still in progress lol) I might be putting up one more picture that I painted but we will see..

Here are the pictures of her room!







I have been thinking about lowering the picture and putting her name in cute letters above it.. still not sure though..


isn't she so cute in her crib!


We went to Old Navy the other day and these dresses were on clearance ( i loove things on clearance lol) I just had to buy them even though they aren't her size, she will grow into them!
this one is 3 mo, but the little hearts are just so cute!


This one is 6 mo. I loove polks dots and how cute is the little hoodie!


This one we just had to buy even though it wasn't on sale. I love that it says "i love daddy" the other ones say everyone loves me, mommy loves me, i love daddy all over them lol



here are some pictures I've taken over the last week.
sleeping :)



Here she is on my birthday :) and she was 1 day from being a month old!






We bought her a swing which really helps me get things done around the house. she is so cute in it!

Jason had me take Olivia to the office on thursday and I went to the nail salon and got a much needed manicure and pedicure. I have cute toes again yaaaay!

On saturday we celebrated mine and Jasons moms birthday with his family. We went to Outback (he he he I just love the crab!) and to the horse races. here are some pictures from the night. Olivia's first celebration!


































After the races we went to coco’s for desert 




hope you enjoyed the pictures!

This week has been pretty normal, just taking care of little Olivia. I've been thinking about starting a 365 blog for Olivia...I think it would be cute to look back on.. so maybe I will start it as of today but i have to upload my pictures.. stay tuned :)

xoxoxo

Happy Birthday to me..

Today is my 28th birthday.. it's weird cause it doesn't really feel like my birthday. I've been so pre-occupied with Olivia it just doesn't seem as important. Usually Jason and I go on a weekend cruise but obviously we didn't plan that this year since we were expecting olivia around this time. I'm going to dinner with Jason and my sister (and olivia of course) which will be great but it's just weird that now I'm a year older and that much closer to 30. Crazy how fast life goes.

It's funny that I'm on here right as it turned midnight. This is the only time I really have to be on here since Jason takes Olivia at night giving me time to myself, which is great. I've really slacked on the blog so I am sorry :(

We have been working on her room this week. I'm sure you are thinking what could be left for us to do. Really its just small stuff, we finally picked up her bedding for her crib and Jason is finishing up her bathroom. He put up the border and replaced the mirror. I had him remove some tile and now he is patching the wall where it was, so hopefully he will be done this week and I can post pictures!

Olivia is amazing, she has grown 2 inches since she was born and she has started to feed like crazy. I think she is going through a growth spurt. We went shopping for her today and bought her some new clothes. I love buying her clothes, she is my little live doll. She is just soo adorable.

She will be 1 month old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast the time goes. It seems like yesterday that we brought her home. I'm going to have her picture taken every month. It's going to be crazy to see how much she changes through the year.

Here are the other pictures Lisa took that I said I would post. I can't wait to get them in!

my favorite





















You can see she is thinking "what in the hell is that thing?!" hahahaha
