Olivia and her Papa!

On Saturday, I took Olivia to see my dad at a Team Penning competition. Watching it, made me really miss riding! Maybe I'll head to one with my dad at some point this summer, we'll see.

Olivia LOVED it! She liked the idea of finding the right numbers on the cows, and of course, she really liked riding with her Papa! After riding around with him for a while, she told him she was ready to go into the arena with him to help him find cows!
Olivia even got to ride a miniature donkey. One of the gals that we often ride with, has one for her kids, and let Olivia ride it. Pretty cool.
I'm not sure who's happier here, Olivia or her Papa! She enjoyed being there and I think he really liked riding around with her showing her off!

You can see below, she was pretty relaxed riding with Papa. She really liked walking through the mud! She thought that was neat. I'm so glad that she's so comfortable around the horses.


Then she stole Papa's Gatorade, and drank the whole thing! We don't usually keep Gatorade around, but I do let her have it when she's been sick, so she knows it's yummy!

We had a fun day watching Papa. He didn't win any money, but he did have a few good runs. I guess next time we'll have to bring Travis, since we've never NOT won money when he's come to watch!

I need your help....

Okay, now that I've finally caught up on pictures and such from the last 9 months, I can finally start moving forward with this blog.

I need some help though. With Fletcher's arrival, titling this blog "Princess Olivia's World" seems a bit out of date. We need a new name for our blog, and since I'm not the most creative one, I need your help. Give me suggestions on what we should start calling our blog.

So, leave a comment and give me your suggestions.....I'm open to everything.

Thanks for your help!

Final Catch-up....

This is Fletcher at 1 day old, still in the hospital.

Olivia really thinks that Fletcher is cool!
This boy loves to snuggle.

Aunt Marcy came to visit us.


My mom and my aunt were a GOD send. They came in and cooked for us, and took care of Fletcher and Olivia so Travis and I could sleep! It was wonderful!
