The reason I have so many photos here of the same thing is

because Oliver was being such a ham. He would tilt his head

backwards and look at Grandma and laugh, talk and kick his legs,

he was so funny.

Oliver liked sitting in the highchair.

He got to look around at everything.

Yummy Rubio's fish tacos

I got in with Oliver but I think I am bit to big for this pool.

Oliver likes the small water fountain that comes out of

his froggy pool

Oliver's new snazzy outfit!

Grandma Char's Visit
Grandma came to Phoenix to visit Oliver (I mean us - he he) on the 24th of July, her b-day! She said that coming to visit was her b-day present. After work I picked up Char from the airport and we drove home, where Ethan was watching Oliver (he had worked from home). We took Char out to the Cheesecake Factory for supper, but first we put Oliver in his new outfit that Grandma bought him, complete with sandals.

Friday we went to Rubios for lunch. Char had heard that they had good fish tacos, and they were very yummy! Then we went to Walmart and Grandma bought Oliver a froggy pool and we got him a floaty for the pool. Ethan and Grandma set up the froggy pool and then Oliver and Mom took a swim, (well, more like a dip) in it.

Saturday morning we went swimming in our neighborhood pool. Oliver liked his new floaty and the surf board but what he really liked most was the lifeguard preserver that was in the pool, of course kids bypass the things that we buy, for something that you don't have to pay for. :)
Then late in the afternoon we went over to Aaron and Nichole's for Zayden's 1st birthday party.
We had a great time at the party! Nichole's Dad made some wonderful food, the party decorations etc. were very cute and it was fun watching Zayden open his gifts, he got excited over every gift and wanted his parents to take all of them out of the packaging.

Monday Grandma got some alone time with Oliver while Ethan and I went to work. -Which means Oliver got spoiled (of course), he got to go swimming, and go for walks, and be held whenever he wanted to. :)

Monday evening Grandma treated us to pizza and we had dippin' dot ice cream.
Tuesday I worked from home half a day and then Oliver and I took Grandma to the airport. It was very quiet when we got back to house. - No Grandma :(

Thank you very much for visiting us Grandma A, we had a blast.
