Day at the Beach!

Last weekend we were so excited to drive down to Clearwater Beach and meet up with Uncle David, Aunt Vanessa, and Catherine! We haven't seen them in a while and we want to spend as much time with them as possible before we move!!

The kiddos were so excited to see each other!

the girls!

Going in for a dip!

Owen wasn't a huge fan of the ocean but loved the sand!

Sweet Catherine loved the beach!



It was like a little reunion for these two :)

And the girls were right at home in the water

Man do I miss this girl!

We just hated having to say good bye but pretty soon it was time to head back home! Of course, when you are Mike Oliver a photo op with a Hulk Hogan statue is a must!! There is always time! Too bad for Mike there was absolutely no parking so we had to just get a pic on the way by....

Mother's Day 2013

Happy Mother's Day!!!

This year was definitely one of the best Mother's Days I have had! The kids were so excited to treat me to a yummy breakfast and cards.

I am so impressed by Savannah's writing and sweetness :)

My wonderful husband got me flowers and took care of everything all day!
 

Kate even sang me one of our favorite Taylor Swift songs!! It was so cute!!!

Love these guys!!!

Thanks for a great day!

Good Bye Sea World!

As soon we found out that we were moving, Mike and I began planning our final Sea World trip! We love Sea World and we are really going to miss our passes. And we decided that Grandma and Grandpa John just had to come with us for this final trip.

Checking out the polar bears and walruses!



At the shamu show



We sat....

 

in the soak zone!!!

 

Thankfully the girls only got wet because they wanted to and played in a sprinkler



Owen and Daddy rode the choo choo while the girls ran around the splash pad

 

The one thing that was a must on our agenda was to do the paddle boats! We had just the right amount of people!

Grandpa John and Kate

Grandma and Savannah...poor Grammy

Mike and I took Owen

 

Who was a little wiggly

The ride home! We had to quote Savannah, "the best day ever!"

Swimming with the Olivers!

Continuing on with our busy weekend last weekend we went over to Uncle Don and Aunt Susan's house for dinner on Saturday and also for a swim! We haven't had a chance to catch up with them in a while and we were super excited because both Sara and Emily were home for the weekend!

Owen who is usually pretty shy had nothing but love for Uncle Don!

Just look at that love!

Not sure what this look is about...:)

Owen swiped the camera from me and actually got some good shots!

Here he is taking a picture of Aunt Susan taking a picture of him!

He made me a little nervous around the water, but I think he's excited about swimming this summer

Thanks for having us over! It was so nice to get together with everyone and spend time catching up! We will definitely miss you guys!!!

5 K Walk

This past weekend was a full one for us. Saturday morning we got up early and did a 5 K fundraising walk for Creed's Cause.

Owen had a small wipe out...



Battle Wound

Notice the people on the left passing us on their way back to the finish line!! We hadn't even been a mile :)

Cute girls

Reward! They had Chick-fil-A chicken biscuits, bananas, and water at the finish :)

This Week...

This week was a tough one for me...I caught a stomach virus early in the week and just felt wilty and nauseous until Friday. So needless to say I didn't get much done other than keep up with the laundry....barely. So here are some random pictures from the week...nothing too exciting.

Cruising for chicks...

Savannah the monkey

Nature trail

This is what happens when Mama is out of commission

Not sure why Savannah took off her pants, but they are just two peas in a pod :) They sit here together frequently and watch TV

 

Um...you're supposed to stick your whole face into the leftover brownie batter bowl...right?
 

Thankfully Friday I was feeling much better and will hopefully have some better posts soon...

It's Official!

Tuesday afternoon Mike received a formal offer from Everfi, a company he has been interviewing with since January!!! So it's officially official - we're moving to Lexington, Kentucky!

Mike reports to work the end of June so we will be moving right after school gets out! Whoa!! That is less than 6 weeks until we leave! So much to do!!! But we are super excited :)
