Ready for Christmas:)

We are ready for Christmas! Went last night to the Christmas parade last night in Fort Worth--the kids really enjoyed it. Went to Chili's to eat afterwards and then walked around downtown a bit. SO much fun! Thanks to the Davis family for inviting us---we had a fabulous time!

Haley's Feast

Haley's class had a Thanksgiving Day Feast today! She was too precious:)

"The girls"

Here is a picture from my niece Marley's baptism.....All her cousins are in this picture!

I CANNOT get enough of Hannah without her two front teeth. She is so stinkin' adorable I almost don't want them to grow in!!! She smiles all the time and it is too, too cute.

Lindsey at the baptism last night.

Haley with her two front teeth growing in a bit---adorable!!!!!!!

Hannah's big news!!!

Hannah is CRACKING us up! She lost her top front tooth at school and now the other one is BARELY hanging on. She looks like she is in need of serious dental work! Today was hat day at school. It is the week they learn to say "no" to drugs. Haley was hilarious the other night. She was talking about what they had learned at school and she said " what are those things called again?" "Drugs you mean?" Lindsey said. "Yes, Drugs" Haley replied:)!!!

UPDATES:)

Cowboys game!!!! We went last Sunday with our friends Paul and Rachael to the Cowboys game. You all know how much I LOVE me some Tony Romo. Well, he is injured, didn't even play. Rachael and I just had to watch him on the sidelines:)!!! We had fun and they won in a pretty boring game!

We took the girls to see High School Musical 3 on Saturday! THEY LOVED IT! Had so much fun with their little friends. It really was a fabulous movie!

Here are the twins before school on Fairy Tale dress-up day! They had too much fun. How cute are they?:)

SLUMBER PARTY!

Lindsey Louise is 8 years old. I never used to really believe "adults" when they would tell me to enjoy my babies when they were babies because they grow up too fast. How true it is....Lindsey turned 8 years old today and I still remember bringing her home from the hospital. She has just grown up so fast. She had such a fabulous day:)!!! Thanks for all of you who called or sent cards or stopped by to say Happy Birthday---she felt SO special and loved.

Our first experience with a "slumber party" was SO much fun. We only invited 4 other girls (I had to keep it small for sanity's sake.) They had an absolute blast and were totally girly. Too funny! All were asleep by 10:45 so I am off to bed. Can't believe it has been 8 years--how many times am I going to say that? Man, I am getting old and loving every minute of it. Lord--continue to bless this child---grab ahold of her heart and help her to yearn for a real relationship with you---to seek you---to never feel alone--to keep YOU first and foremost in her life. Thanking you for blessing my life with the gift of her:). Amen

Marley Ann Marie is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a girl!! Marley Ann Marie was born at 12:56pm and weighed 6lbs 15oz. The girls were SO excited that it was a girl! Here are some pics from the hospital. She is absolutely adorable! My brother and Ann are so proud. She did it with NO drugs--now that my friends, is VERY impressive:).

Good Times, Good Times!!

Here are some pics of all of us before going to a baptism this weekend! We survived the first week of school and everyone LOVED it:)!!! Now we are awaiting the next big event in our lives--the birth of baby Miller---Marly or Jackson!!! If the baby is not here before Sept. 10th they will induce! The girls can hardly wait.....they are hoping for a girl:)!!!

First Day of School!!!!

Bunting Visit!!!

Haley, Luke, Hannah, Lindsey, Madison, Daniel!! The Buntings came and stayed with us for two nights and the kids had a BLAST!!! These are my best friend, Stefanie's, kids. Our kids all play so well together that we are always amazed! The fun never ends and they really don't fight--it is crazy and so much fun to watch them have fun. My girls are already asking when they can see them again!!!! I am posting a silly picture too--they love those:).

Haley's big news!!!

Here it is!! She lost her front top tooth today at lunch after church!! She was opening the lid to the mustard with her mouth and all of a sudden said "my tooth came out!". Lindsey found it on the tile in the kitchen:)!! She keeps talking about how funny it feels!!! Adorable I say!!

The Shack

Had to post about a great book I just finished reading called "The Shack" by William P. Young. Most of you know I am not a big reader but the book was AWESOME!!!!!!! It was hard to put down. Our friends Bubba and Cheryl Owen had read it and recomended it on their blog. It does not disappoint!!! Jaime is reading it now and mom finished it before any of us! Check it out and let me know what you thought about it.

ADORABLE!!!

Just a relaxing day at the Olivarez house today this Saturday! Here is daddy's little helper mowing the lawn. She LOVES to be outside helping Jaime in the yard and in the garage! Too cute our Haley Irene is!!! Gotta love the safety goggles and hat:)!!

Build-A-Bear

The twins had so much fun celebrating their birthday with their two friends from school! It was such a girlie day. They just chatted and giggled and had so much fun! We headed off to build-a-bear where they picked out their animals and dressed them up. Then we shopped around at the Disney store. After that we had lunch at chick-fil-A in the mall and the girls rode the carousel so many times I lost count!! Played on the playset and just had a ball!!! A fun, fun day. In the last pic they are singing Happy Birthday to the twins in the store.

Hannah's pearls!

Hannah is too hilarious. When she made her birthday list she wanted a pearl necklace. Well, mom got her one and she wore it today to church! Too cute.

Haley and Hannah are 6!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe it but the twins are officially 6!!! wow!!!!!!! We celebrated their birthday at my mom's house yesterday! They are going to build-a-bear on Tuesday--they each picked one friend to go with them. THIS is the way to go!!! No stress of a party and still so much fun! My mom has started the neatest tradition with them. During holidays, (Christmas, Easter, and now birthdays) she does a scavenger hunt. The questions are all bible questions and they answer them and she tells them where to run and look (the dryer, backseat of her car, dressers, ect) and there are numbers in some places and gifts in others. THEY LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! They get so excited and it is so much fun. I am going to try and put some pic on here. The girls had so much fun and LOVED that uncle Jon was able to come also!!

Movie Day!!!

Took the girls today to see the American Girl movie about Kit!! What an awesome movie--totally wholesome with a great message. If you haven't seen it--you should:). We went for the twins birthday--a day early. I CANNOT believe that tomorrow they will be 6!! Seems like we were just bringing them home from the hospital and had 3 kids in diapers and now they are about to start school in the fall---time really does fly by.

I love this pic of my grandpa saying good-bye to the girls!

Flower Girls

It's official!

OK--it's official. I now have a blog! I just need to figure out how to post pictures now. Something I have been wanting to do--to share with family and friends our life here in Mansfield, Texas!
