Fun, Fun!!


Well, we've had a few fun, new experiences in the past couple of days! First, BJ and I had our first over-night outing away from Olivia. Mimi volunteered to keep her while we get away. So we loaded up the car and drove 10 miles down the highway!! We started out by going to Abuelos for dinner and Andy's custard for dessert! It was funny, but it felt like we were on our honeymoon...I guess life changes so much when you have kids! The next day we went shopping and to a french eatery for breakfast! It was a great weekend!! We have always said, and even with a kid will continue to say, that it is so vital for married couples to get away! Even for a night, it just strengthens our marriage and makes us reprioritize!


Next, While we were at the hotel, we made friends with the front desk guy! He asked us if were "leaving town" tonight. We didn't want to explain that we live 10 miles down the road, so we said no! He then told us about him having 3 extra tickets to the baseball game and that we could have them!! So, we took Olivia to her first baseball game! Aunt Cyndi and Uncle Chris joined us! She was sucha good baby! It was right up her ally....lots of people and she got to be outside! She loved it!

Life is fun! Having a baby has not slowed us down, but we are experiencing so many new things with her! Please pray for us as we continue traveling and spending time with family!

just another day in bella vista



Who wants to know what Jill and I did today?? First, I'll put a picture of Olivia to grab everyone's attention...


Olivia loves it when I dress her!

So, Jill woke up and fed Olivia at 7am (and then every 3 hours after that), while I painted my parent's basement all day. Oh but first, Jill and I made some gourmet omelets... not really, they did have red peppers in them though. Why do people enjoy reading about food?

Anyway, Jill helped me pull off some sweet 90s wallpaper also--that was a blast! For some reason the people who lived here before thought it would be a grand idea to put up wallpaper in random places all over this house, and they didn't even bother to pull off the wallpaper underneath! They just slapped some new wallpaper right over it! Tonight, we went to hang out with a group of people from Northwest Community Church--a sweet new church in Bella Vista. If you're ever here, you should check it out.

Well, time to go give Olivia a bath, then Jilly will feed her and put her to bed... Good night, BJill followers...


Ok, for those of you who stuck it out to the end, here is another pic of Olivia!
