Happy Birthday Lola!!

Ok so I am SO LATE with Olivia's birthday post just as I was with Beau's. She turned 4 on June 12th. All she wanted was to have a party with her friends so I planned one at Snip-It's in Apex which is a salon for kids. They have a cute little room in the back and they do their hair, makeup and they dress up in princess dresses and parade into the salon at the end. It turned out great but I stressed about it for 2 weeks thinking nobody was going to show up. Of course people don't know what RSVP means anymore. I could go on and on about it but I'm over it now and I ended up being worried for nothing which is usually the case. There were 7 girls including Olivia and I am so grateful to the parents that did bring their little girls. It meant SO MUCH to Olivia. Beau also got another haircut that day while we were there - his 4th one!! Olivia didn't have her first haircut until she was about 2!!!

I've had a rough month - it seems like I say that a lot anymore. I had two weeks where I felt cursed. It started with me getting a ticket for running a stop sign (I did stop - just not enough I guess). The things were probably minor to most people but it was just frustrating. I'm not even going to write about it now because again it's been awhile now and I've calmed down. Things are turning around:)

We've gone camping a couple of times. We just found a campground across from Lake Norman where we are getting a permanent site so we don't have to pull the camper when we want to go. It will be nice to just pack some clothes and go. I LOVE Lake Norman too. It's so beautiful there. We're hoping to get a boat next summer. We're taking it down this weekend to get it set up and we're pretty excited.

Beau is almost 14 months. He's not walking yet. I think Olivia was 14 months when she started walking. He's also been a bear lately. He's getting more teeth. He has also developed a HUGE appetite and never seems to get enough. I think he's frustrated too that he can't walk. He has quite the temper - he didn't get that from me....
