GOTCHA!!! {Oliver}

-
Like I said before.. I am super behind on Blogging. I defiantly do not want this post to be left out.
 
 
I am officially and legally Oliver's FOREVER Mom!!!
 
On August 22nd we finally went before the judge and he granted our petition for me to adopt Oliver!! This was one of the happiest days in my life! It is a day I have waited for since my little man was three years old.
 
As much as I was looking forward to this day.. the crazy thing is , I do not feel different. He has been my son for some time now in every way that counts. It is just now legal!!!
 
 

Oliver was assigned his own attorney to protect his best interest . When he was asked if he knew what was going on and if this is what he wanted , he said " Dude... Of course this is what I want. She is my mom!!!" ... Made my heart melt!



The whole gang waiting....


And FINALLY.. The wait is over. You are forever mine!!



My Sweet Ollie Bear... I will never forget the very first time I saw you. You had just turned 1 and you were the most precious baby boy I had ever seen. I fell in love with you right away. I loved you even before I loved your Daddy. We did not get to see you but just two nights a month at first.. Oh how I looked forward to those nights!! In time our visits with you increased, as did my love for you.
Then when you were just three, through a serious of events, you came to live with us. Over the next 6 years our bond grew and grew. I became your Mommy and you became my son. Still when you call me "Momma" my heart soars.  I love you so much my sweet boy! I love you just as much as I would if you would of been born to me.... You are my dream come true!


Our first picture together as "legal" Momma and son!!!!

and we are filled with joy.”

Potty Training...

We are starting to get serious about potty training. Storrie tells me every time she is wet or poopy, but has a bit of a fear of the toilet. Lilly had the idea of bring the potty in the living room so she could potty and watch Doc McStuffins at the same time.. It worked! We finally got her to set on it.  I am sure she is going to totally hate me for these pictures someday.. heehee.. But she is just too adorable !

If you know me at all you know that I am obsessed with shopping for Lilly and the boys. All three of their closets are bursting with tons of cuteness! I love that people stop me where ever I am with Lilly and comment on her clothes. Several friends say she is the best  dressed kid in Midland:) It is vary rare she wears her clothes more then once or twice. A blog I follow is having a link up party to sell smocked clothes for little ones. So I decided to start a Facebook page dedicated to selling my three little ones clothes. It is a work in progress.. I have 8 tubs of Lilly's clothes to photograph and list not to mention tons of the boys stuff. If there is something you are looking for (a size or style) that is not listed just message me and I will probably have it. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.104700986372233.8664.100004969957700&type=1   I have a few things of Lilly's loaded and soon I hope to have a lot more plus some of the boys things. Happy Sh...

Even though she has acted like one since she was 5..Ha!        Brenna got to pick the restraunt. She chose Swenson's because of the ice cream:) Love Oliver's face here.   These two are so silly! I love how close they are becoming!!   Four out of our five   These two went to town on the ice cream. We had the sweetest waitress ever. I think Oliver had a little crush..ha!     Saturday Brenna and I went on our annual birthday shopping trip. If you hear load sopping coming from our house in the nezxt week or two, don't worry. It just means Jeff got his credit card statement. This girl can shop!!! It was extra fun for me. Brenna has really started to get in to fashion and has a similar style that I do (except mine is suited for my age). She aske...
