Painting Puntins

Olivia and her daddy painted her little pumpkins, while I carved the big one. This is her Raagghh!! look. She'll never make it as anything scary for Halloween.


She is such a cheeser. This is the CHEEESE face.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

I know it's not very nice, but she sure is cute in a pumpkin. I promised her that this would be the last year we stuff her in a pumpkin. She wasn't too mad at us when we got her out.

Picking Puntins

Olivia calls them puntins. We had fun and took some good picks. She picked out two little ones for her and we also picked out a big one.

My little Red Raider

She is getting to be so big. I'm not ready. Parents day at dance is next week. I'll video it and try to post.

I BUSY

Last night Curtis and I were hanging up and putting away clothes.(yes, he helps me sometimes) I asked Olivia to please take all of her toys and put them in her room. "I BUSY" is the response I got. It wasn't an 'I Busy I'll get back to you in a minute'. It was a 'I don't have time for you right now'. Well I found it so funny, I had to hide behind a towel so she wouldn't see me laughing. She got in trouble, but that didn't faze her. She continued to say it all night. Some days all you can do is laugh.

It's Been a Crazy Month

I have been at my new job for a month. It is crazy busy, but I'm really enjoying everything about it. It will definitely be a challenge to learn everything. For those of you who may know, yes I work for Noel. She is great and I don't know how she did all of this by herself for two years.

Olivia has officially hit the terrible two's. She hasn't minded us in about two weeks. We here no, wait, and five more minutes alot. It's getting pretty frustrating, but then she'll do something that's funny or cute and we forget about it. She had a stomach bug last week. We're all still trying to catch up on missed sleep from those three days. She has been to three dance classes. Dad is taking and picking her up. She'll show off her new moves every week. It's pretty funny.

I will try to post some new pics sometime in the next week.

I have a new job!!!

So, last week I interviewed for a job at Texas Tech. She called me the very same day and told me I got the job. It was a great day. The job is Tax & Compliance Dept. under Financial Affairs. I am very excited about the challenges this job will offer. I will still get to do some tax work, which I love, but in different areas. Also, we are in charge of new policies around campus that deal with tax issues.

I just want to thank everyone who helped me get this job. I appreciate all of the kind words, inquiries on my behalf, and the good thoughts. I will start Aug. 25th, so until then you better call me on my cell or e-mail. I'll let everyone know through an e-mail what my new numbers will be later in the month.
