T- Minus 8 days until the big 0-1

We can't believe, our little "crumb snatcher" is almost a year old. We didn't make it to the fireworks this year, it was too late for our little patriotic baby, however we did dress her for the occasion, as you can see by the picture to the left. The hair clippie is a little much, Leigh knows she is approaching "cheesy" with the red/white/blue clippie, but she couldn't resist.

Olivia is making big strides in the walking department, she can clear the entire room in 2.2 seconds...she is still wobbly, but its adorable to watch her, she gets so excited when she just keeps going and realizes that she is still standing.

She is working on tooth #'s 7 and 8 right now, which means she is a bit snotty again. I can't believe how quickly she went from a 2 toothie wonder to a 8 toothie wonder. Brad calls her "Snaggle Tooth", nice huh?

YaYa is always asking whether Olivia has started playing in the cabinets yet, well up until last week the answer was no, however she found the "Tupperware" cabinet and went to town, as you can see. She loved it.

We are looking forward to Olivia's Birthday party next weekend, we expecting 35 adults and 8 children, we can't wait. We are all very excited that Leigh's Grams will be making the trip for the party, which means Olivia will have some QT with GG Sandra as she likes to call her. And YaYa and GaGa arrive next Tuesday for a few weeks.

Leigh has a work trip coming up at the end of July, San Angelo, Texas here she comes...sound familiar? Of course it does, that's where the press is reporting on the "Ranch" in Texas...Leigh has high hopes, her peers have told her that once you visit San Angelo you will understand why people want to live on the ranch - HA.

Summer vacation here we come....The Turner Family is renting a house with Justin, Insley, Zack, Brian and Molly in Duck, NC for a week beginning on August 2nd. We can't wait.
