My Ollie bear....

Of course I believe that all of my children are extra special. I mean really.. What mother doesn't think that. But in my case it is true..HA! Oliver is one of the brightest, funniest most loving kids I have ever met. He just seems to have that little extra something something that sets him apart from other boys his age.

.

We never know what he is going to say or do. 

Everyone who meets him falls in love right away

This little boy has been through so much in his short life. He came to live with us at only 3. We did not plan it. It just happened. We discovered he was in danger so we drove to Lubbock to get him October of 2008 and he has been with us ever since.

In the months then years to follow I went from being his stepmom to being his Mommy. And let me tell you there is no greater feeling in this world then when I hear him call me that. It is not a title that came easy, but one that was earned. I am so thankful that God saw fit to put me in this role in Oliver's life.

Oliver is a total Leggo nut. The video game king. And the best artist I have ever seen for a 7 year old little boy. He has the most sensitive heart. And this kid loves his baby brother and sister. He is so full of life and joy.

 One of my favorite things is when he is playing in his room and does not realize we are listening and he is talking to himself while he plays. I love this! It gives me an  insight into what he thinks and how his mind works. This kid cracks me up all the time. I see so much of his Daddy in him. 

He can also be stubborn and will pretend he does not hear me so he does not have to do the things he does not want to. He has a very strong will, that's for sure. I worry all the time because I cannot get this kid to eat healthy at all. He is the ultimate junk food junky!

I adore this boy beyond word!!!

I am the Lord and there is no other.
