It is always nice to have Mike home for a 3 day weekend. On Friday night I was feeling the need for a little break, so once Mike got home he put Olivia to bed so I could get out for a little break. I did a little window shopping at Old Navy, TJ Maxx, and Kohls.
The next morning I woke up and did a long training run. After my brother Tim was kind enough to watch Olivia so that Mike and I could grab a bit of lunch at Chuck-o-rama (I'm a bit embarresed to admit that I actually love this restaurant, even though it is definetley a bit hickish). After lunch Olivia woke up from her nap, and we took her to this water park a couple of miles from our house. She had fun on the playground portion of the park, but was a bit timid of the icy cold water squirting up from the ground! That night Tim's girlfriend Kate had borrowed a Wii from someone, so Mike and I got to try our hand at interactive video games. It was fun, but I must say that I'm so glad that Mike isn't a "gamer".
On Sunday after church I was sitting in a chair in the hall talking to one of our neighbors, the chair had a side table next to it, Olivia was trying to squirm out of my arms, and, without warning, she slammed her nose down on the edge of the table. She started crying hard and bleeding everywhere. It always hard to see your little one hurt, not to mention bleeding everywhere. Eventually we were able to get her calmed down and the bleeding to stop. Her nose wasn't swollen or anything, but being the cautios first-time mom that I am, I decided we should take her in to an insta-care clinic to have a doctor take a look at her nose. He said it looked fine, and that because most babies her age still have mostly cartiledge in their noses, it would be unlikely that she broke or fractured anything.
Monday morning Tim offered to watch Olivia so that Mike and I could go for a jog. Then we put Olivia in the stroller, walked to the grocery store, and picked up a few things for breakfast. I made our favorite waffle recipe, so yummy!

Then we went drove down to Springville to show the condo to some potential buyers. They seemed pretty interested and are going to come look at it again this week. After we went to our friend Jason's house. He is a realtor and is going to be listing the condo for us. Then we went over to Mike's parents' house for a family bbq. It was a nice, relaxing weekend!

I'm the worst at remembering my camera and documenting things we do with pictures, but what's a post without pictures! Here are some recent cute ones of Olivia:

Olovia loves to pull all the pitchers out of our lazy-suzan cabinet. The other day she was playing in the kitchen, and then I hear her crying, so I ran over to see that she had gotten stuck while trying to play in the cabinet. "Stuck" is actually one of her favorite words to say, so there she was wedged in the cabinet, repeating over and over "stuck."
