Life Unexpected

I guess Accidents really do happen. I am still in shock that we are expecting another baby! We weren't planning on having another one until we were settled in good ol' Nebraska. Clearly someone had other plans for us. Jonathan and I, however are excited for this little one to be a part of our small family and Olivia is going to be a wonderful big sister! December 20th is the scheduled day (poor baby. I always hated having a birthday so close to Christmas!) Which means we have Jons b-day, my b-day, baby's b-day, Christmas and Olivias b-day all with in a month of each other! Life will be hectic for us with Jon starting school and being in a new and unfamiliar place but we are excited for the adventure that awaits us!!

Here we come Nebraska!!!

I am so sorry everyone!! I just realized that we haven't told anyone about our school plans for the fall!!! We had an interview at NAU but we both didn't feel right about it which was so sad!! But we did hear back from them and he got put on the waiting list! Anyway, like I said neither of us felt good about NAU anyway and we both felt really good about Creighton so on to Omaha Nebraska!!! I am really excited but really bumbed too!! I hate that we will be so far away and I really hate that we are going back to freezing weather but, such is life and I can live anywhwere for three years i guess. Anyway that's the plan! Sorry I haven't let any of you know until now!!

Olivia blowing bubbles in the bath

Tonight Nicole put Olivia in the bath and she had the funnest time sticking her face in the water. Nicole kept making raspberry noises and Olivia loved it. She is at such a fun stage right now.

My poor Baby!!!

So I am pretty sure I am the worst mother EVER!!! Usually when Olivia has a dirty diaper, I take it out to the big garbage outside. Well, yesterday afternoon, Olivia did her business and as I was getting ready to take it out when I passed the little garbage we have in the Family room. It was full and needed to be taken out so I threw the diaper in that trash intending to take it out when my sister called and said she needed to be picked up from work. So, needless to say, I left, and the garbage with the dirty diaper on top was forgotten. This is where my story begins: Last night my sister Noelle wanted to show me and a couple of my other siblings something on you tube. We all gathered around and started watching. I glanced down to see what Olivia was doing to find that she was innocently playing with a little booster seat.(next to the garbage) Seeing that she was fine, I continued to watch the video. As we were intensely staring at the screen waiting to see what the great white shark would attack next, My sister Noelle said "what is that smell? Did someone fart?" We all looked at eachother and of course no one took the blame. All of the sudden Nellie starts yelling "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!!!" I look down to where Olivia was, thinking that maybe she threwup all over the place or something like that but no, it was much worse. There Olivia was, sitting on the floor, an open diaper lying next to her, and a pile of Poop on the floor, in her hands, smeared on her face, and between her teeth!!!!! Yes, my little one year old had a nibble of her own Poop!! I washed her, brushed her teeth, and PRAYED that she waould not get sick. So far she seems to be doing fine but I'm still praying. I feel so awful that I let a stupid shark attack video get in the way of my mothering. I know we all make mistakes but come on! My daughter ate her poop!!! I really don't think that is forgiveable! Of cousrse Nellie, Noelle, and Bradley died laughing and all swore to never let her forget that she ate her own poop for an after dinner snack! I am so sorry Olivia! I love you forever!

Just one of the girls!!

Jessi, this is for you!! I not only wanted to show you the family you are marrying into, but I wanted to show you the kind of man you will be spending all of eternity with!! This is why we love him so much! What a sport for hanging out with us girls on Karaoke night!!! P.S. You will have to scroll all the way down to the end of my blog and push pause on the music if you want to hear Bradley sing.

This is a video of Olivia trying to walk.
