Hola.
The blogger wants me to "switch to our new version" and assures me that I will like it better, that it will be more reliable, and that it will give me great new features. I am nervy. Like my friend Katherine says "stick with what you know." Katherine navigates the entire town of Fayetteville on two streets because she doesn't know much directionally. So I'm sticking with what I know. I'M NOT SWITCHING!!

In other Oliver news, Shaun has become BFF (best friends forever for those of you too old to remember 5th grade) with our neighbor (Senior La Huerta). I was not present, but apparently over some cervesas, Shaun and Meliton agreed that if LSU is triumphant in the battle of the boot, then three La Huerta waiters will don LSU t-shirts and say "Go Tigers" everytime they serve a plate. NOW... this is the funny part. If Arkansas pulls out a victory, Michael Shaun Oliver will wear a Razorbacks cheerleading outfit in LaHuerta for a night. Oh my. I hope I can get a picture. I think his legs will look very nice in an iddy biddy skirt!
We're on the countdown to birthday #1! Unbelieveable really. We have decided that Ethan has enough brains to actually have an opinion now. He has some favorites:
1. Dogs: big dogs, little dogs, short hair or furry... he loves them all
2. Yogurt. He even has a dance to go along with it.
3. Vitamin D Milk.
4. Baths... except when he tried to pull that knob on the top of the faucet and got a shower.... doesn't like showers.
We're going to try not to go overboard on birthday and christmas so we can save our money for a year when he can remember...
I'm going to enjoy my coffee and watch the news. Later! E

Hello Hello! Its Friday all of the sudden again. We're lucky enough to get to stay home today. Every body in this house has been through the common cold this week. You may think its funny but its snot. AH HA HA. One of my favorites!! We all have hacking coughs and the sniffles.
Our friend Audrey is having heart surgery on Monday, so keep her in your thoughts and prayers.. as well as her parents, and her grandparents... She won't remember it, but her Mama will.
We can't really get Ethan to sit still and cheese it up for the camera anymore, so we've transitioned on in to the candids.
I'm going to huddle down while all these freaky Razorback fans do their thing this weekend. I hope everyone has a good game, I hope they play their best, and I hope no one gets hurt. Ethan may donn his 'Backs jeresey since his daddy is hiking 20 miles of the Ozark Highland Trail this weekend. NOT what I want to do on my weekend. He has his orange on so he doesn't get shot. Olive my love! E

Its time for my usual stay-home Friday blog, and I don't have much to report. Here's the highlights of Ethan and Shaun's after-school games that always suprise me. Who would've thought of hooking a belt to the hippo?!

I'm waiting for the lesson on inertia. Have a good weekend! E
