Camping In Mineral Wells Day 3: Hanging Around Camp

    Our third day camping was really relaxed. Pappy, Carol, Connor, and Aaron went dove hunting really early in the morning, so Olivia and I spent the entire day around the camp site. We watched movies, snacked, and took the dogs on multiple walks. Olivia's favorite part was her bath outside.

Camping In Mineral Wells Day 2: Mineral Wells Fossil Park, Swimming In The Lake

   Our second day in Mineral Wells was really fun. We went to Mineral Wells Fossil Park to collect fossils that are 299 million to 318 million years old. It was hot, but very interesting.

Camping In Mineral Wells Day 1: Olivia's Accident, Setting Up Camp, A Run In With Deer

     Over the weekend we went camping with my father-in-law and mother-in-law at Lake Mineral Wells State Park. The kids and I weren't originally going to go on this trip because it was a dove hunting weekend for them and Aaron, but they decided to make it a fun family weekend and invited us along to go camping. I am so happy they did because we had so much fun!  

Olivia's Second Birthday

Dear Olivia,

     You are TWO today, and I can hardly believe it! It feels like I just wrote your birthday letter for your first birthday. You have grown so much over the last year. Your vocabulary has soared, you are potty trained, and you are sleeping in a big bed {for part of the night anyway}! You are a very strong willed girl, and I know the future holds great things for you. I really think you have the potential to be the first female president. You are smart, determined, and really good at getting what you want. If you don't, you will more than likely throw a huge fit and scream louder than any child I have ever heard. Hopefully that will stop by your third birthday. ;) I love you so much and can't wait to see how you grow over the next year. 

XOXO,

Mama

Pearl Farmers Market

    We had such a fun morning/early afternoon visiting the Farmers Market at the old Pearl Brewery in downtown. We had never been before and I have been wanting to visit for quite sometime, so when Aaron told me we could go I was thrilled!

 The kids wanted to get on this old train.
