Jon & Kathy

She loved this horse, but it was like $50, so we let her ride it around the store for a while.

To have two parents that really don’t keep up with football, our kid amazingly can already sing Rocky Top. Weird.

Sorry for the poor quality. Stupid iPhone front camera…

Don’t ask Olivia what color her boat is… she’ll try to convince you that it is green. This is the newest addition to the “but Olivia would love it” collection.

She probably won’t be able to do this next year.

For those that don’t know… I’m not much of a paper person. I’m cramming about 10 years worth of knowledge into (hopefully) about 4-5 months of exams and certifications. I figured its time to be semi responsible, and help my career a little if possible. This piece of paper is just above the entry level certification. I’m taking the “professional” level tests (3 of them), starting next week. I hope to have that done by mid-October. After that, well, we’ll see how it goes from there. There is basically one higher level exam, its silly hard, and cost a LOT of money to take… and I have to go to North Carolina to take it. As I said, we’ll see.

She’s nuts on a slide! Oh, and she’s pretty smart.

She really liked the slide at the park. She’d never been down a regular size slide before. I was really surprised at how fast she was able to learn how to balance going down.. the first few times she fell back

If you didn’t know, Olivia doesn’t care for toys, so don’t buy any for her. We’ll just throw them out. “Ha ha, Jon is being humerous!” No, I’m serious, DO NOT buy her toys.

Ok, with that out of the way, she does seem to like shoes, boxes, containers, cats, & harmonicas! She’s daddy’s little hillbilly.

After a long day at the lake, she just couldn’t stay awake any more. She was pooped!!!
