Well, I didn't find the pictures of the Ferg and Cerith bib as i promised until after i downloaded the others oops. maybe next time.
I am now in Jupiter, FL -- Rick, Adriana and I survived an absolutely insane weekend. We arrived in ATL on a direct flight from SA around 4pm. My parents, who drove straight from their house in FL to the airport in ATL to pick us up, were right on time. impressive!
We stayed at our friends, Mike and Debbie Presley's house. We picked up wings and pizza, beer and soda and just chilled. We didn't want anymore than that. Debbie's daughter, Karen, also came over w/ her son, Ty. On Saturday we went to Pappadeaux for lunch to celebrate my other cousin, Charles or Chucky Ray Bob's, high school graduation. Great company and always fun to see the family. We had time for a quick nap and then headed to the church for Whitney's wedding. Adriana was dressed in her "wedding dress" too. Erica said she stole Addie and walked around the room to see how many compliments she would get. She said, "I didn't even get half a foot, it was awesome!" We all danced, but the superstar of the dance floor was my cousin, Ciera. Her and Uncle Bill tore it up!! This girl has got some moves. We got pictures and video to prove it. I am making a shout out to Ciera.. YOU GO GIRL!! And Adriana absolutely loved her. I think they are forever friends. :) Anyway, after all that we woke up way early this morning- dropped Rick off at the airport and 11.5 hrs. later made it home. Yeah, it took a lil bit longer w/ so many needy people, but Adriana did great. Only 10 min. of crying in that whole trip. AMAZING!!

Every baby needs a "bootie shot" and isn't hers cute??

The Red/White hat I got from Karma and friends at a baby shower. I remember wondering what she'd look like in it and there it is. Her feet take up a lot of the pic. She loves her feet!

I love the picture of Scott and Addie and Roxy. Sue and JB taught us a new phrase for Roxy.. it is Scott's doghter and Adriana's cousin. ha.ha.

The pic. with Mimi and Addie was taken at Camp Verde. Mimi sang her to sleep. awwwww

Wow! We have been having a lot of fun this month and yet I can't remember what we've been doing. ha.ha. Tomorrow, the Olivares family is going on our first airplane ride all together. Adriana and I flew to VA in Jan. to see Mimi and Mona, but this time Rick is coming too. I am sooo happy to not be traveling on my own. Although, addie was an angel the last trip. Anyway, we are headed to Atlanta to see my cousin, Whitney Hansen, get married. yippee! Adriana is finally going to meet the Alan and Bill Hansen family and meet Aunt Brenda and of course see Mummsy again. double yippee! Erica, Matt, Mimi and Biggie will be there as well. After the weekend in Atlanta Rick will fly back to TX and go back to work, but Adriana and I are driving back to FL with the Biggie Hansen's. Her first real road trip-- definitely a Biggie thing! We will stay with them for a week and fly home on Sat. June 6th. We are very excited for some firsts like: the beach & the pool & whatever else Mimi & Auntie Erica come up with! ha.ha.
Adriana is getting extremely close to pushing out her first tooth. It may even happen while we are in FL, seriously! She is also looking more and more like a big girl.. tear. She can almost sit up all by herself and is really wanting to crawl. GOD HELP ME when that happens. She is so busy now, I can't imagine keeping up with her then.
Side note: our friends from Wales Fergs and Cerith send Adriana an awesome bib and we got some great photos - I don't think I've posted them here, so I am going to try and do that. And whatever other cute photos I find from May.
Love to all-- June here we come.

6 month check up

Adriana went to the Dr. today. She weighs 14 lbs. and is 26 inches long. They said she is tall and skinny. I was excited.. it isn't often this Hansen family hears those words.. ha.ha. It must be the Olivares genes kicking in. They pricked her finger to check her iron and said she was a lil deficient. They recommended some medicine to help that, but I am going to try and eat more iron for her, first. Overall, she is doing great.
She has turned a new corner with her personality. She is starting to warm up to people very quickly i.e. flashing her heart warming smile, and enticing people to play with her. Our new nickname for her is Rollie Pollie Ollie = guess why? Because we can't leave her anywhere for 2 seconds without a rolling interest in what is around her. She has some perseverance in her. I love to see that!

Olivares Mother's Day Photos

Scott was a groomsmen in the wedding. He is pictured with his girlfriend, Kristie. The rest are all wedding photos.

Mother's Day

Sue, Mom, Tracy, me and Addie

The first week of May turned out to be the same pace as April.. busy. We had JB & Sue, from Mass., come for a visit. Sue and Adriana hit it off right away. She was all smiles, all day. She showed Sue how she can roll all over the bed-- and almost roll off if you don't watch it. Sue took Adriana on her first picnic and her first dip in the Medina river. We were a busy bunch. Mimi was in tow as well, of course.

This weekend our friends Dustin and Megan got married so Biggie came back into town for that, and Mother's Day, of course. I had a great 1st Mother's Day. I think I have the friendliest 6mth old around. She loves to smile at people and be held. She also LOVES her feet. Anyway, I got 1/2 a dz roses and 2 cards.. one from Addie and one from Rick. We met Mimi and Biggie and Uncle Scott at the Pipe Creek Steakhouse, that is actually pretty good, for lunch. Then Rick and I went to Nana and Popo's for dinner. Very nice day.

Adriana was dressed in one of the cutest outfits to date.. which is hard to say about my fashionista!

April Recap

I can't believe April is already over!! I am so behind. We have been so busy. Well, I turned 30 on April 12th and Rick had a bday on April 27th. We had one big bday bash on April 18th. That was fun. Our friends, Jessica and Johnny,got married on the 17th. Mimi and Biggie came to visit (and are still visiting). Mimi had her first baby sitting experience b/c I had a weekend conference at the Alto Frio Encampment. Mimi came to stay with us and while I was in class, Addie entertained her gma. We also got to visit Dan and Feve Morgan. Feve made some awesome food for us, on a side note! Rick and I went on our 2nd date in 6mths. on his birthday! woo-hoo!! Ok, that is most of it. Adriana stuck it out like a trooper. I tried to put her in the Frio River, but she told me in not so many words it was too frio mama! Love to all- Janna
