Sunday Paper Coupons

I thought I would network myself for some valuable coupons to help fund our baby's diaper & formula consumption. So if you are ever looking through the paper & find any formula OR diaper coupons send them our way! We would be very appreciative. Hope everyone is having a great Monday! Love, Trish

Take me out to the ballgame...

This past weekend was a busy weekend for little Olivia. It has been a crazy couple of weeks at that. I have been back at work now for 3 weeks going on 4! It is so hard to believe it has been that long already. I think life is starting to pick up some sort of routine and we are starting to get the hang of things and life with a baby in the picture. All I have to say is, thank god for cleaning ladies! I would not keep my sanity without one. And thank my husband for being such a great laundry folder!

Exciting Events:

We purchased a bike trailer! This has been so much fun for our family, and Olivia just LOVES it! She sits and looks around or sleeps. We haven't pushed her much past an hour or so ride, but she does really well. Our next big journey will be over the river to grandma & grandpa's house...as soon as the river goes down we will be head your way South Moorhead!

Olivia has learned to 'coo & babble'. Check out a few of her clips, it is so funny to watch & listen to her. It is pretty amazing how alert & smart she is getting. Today I called to check up on her over lunch & Grandma let me say a few words to Olivia and she was babbling back and I was told was smiling away listening to me talk to her!

She got to sport one of her new swimsuits at the lake! I even dunked her feet in the water, which not surprisingly made her shriek. I would have shrieked too....brr that water is still SO COLD!

And we celebrated Father's Day. Oh we had so much fun! We spent the weekend with Papa Mark at the lake, Went to the Red Hawks Game with Papa Steve & Grandma Ilene & will be celebrating with Papa Brian on Wednesday. This girl is so lucky to have so many great men in her life the parties just never end. She seemed to enjoy the Red Hawks game, only one minor meltdown, which got the attention of the opposing teams "home run hitter" to

come and say hello. Overall it was such a fun day. And I think Daddy Corey had the most perfect 1st Father's Day ever!

Holy Waters

Yes, for those of you that didn't know Olivia was blessed with the Holy Waters of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Sunday June 1st, 2008. She looked so adorable. Corey & I were very proud parents to see our little babe become part of the church. And of course she was such a good girl. So while we were standing up in front of a packed house, as it was our church's 1 year anniversary of moving into our new building, little OJ decides it would be a good idea to give sucking on her index finger a whirl...it didn't go over very well, she ended up gagging herself almost spitting up on Mom and having a meltdown. Thank goodness a little butt patting subsided the meltdown and the gagging just ended up in her making some pretty funny faces. I am laughing now just thinking about it. She was such a little ham for the rest of the service, drinking her bottle, smiling at Mom trying to coo & make funny giggling noises which in a hushed congregation sounded like she was using a microphone. What a fun day. Oh and I must not forget to mention, Papa Mark sang to Olivia "Jesus Love's Me" and sounded absolutely amazing. To our disappointment my Dad's church rock band is on a break for the summer so they were not present at the service this day, I am sure Olivia would have loved to see them as this was her first debut at church since when I was pregnant OJ loved the rock band. She would kick & wiggle around as soon as they would start singing or their drums would start up.
