Library Fieldtrip

Today Jane had a field trip with her preschool. We got to go to the Pleasant Grove library. It is always so fun to see how she interacts with the other kids in her preschool. Of course she was glued to Trevor most of the time, but has also gotten to really like Jarrett. I guess from what she tells us, he is a little bit of a class clown. I took Ike and Cal on this field trip and they really seemed to enjoy it. Ike thought he was big stuff going to preschool with Jane. It was really cute to see him follow his big sis around.

Ike enjoying the stories.


Cal really excited to be part of the fun.

All the kids in her class.


Learning how to check out books.

Jane and Jarrett

I am such a proud mom, by the way. Yesterday I registered Jane for kindergarten. It was so much fun for me. Last night I went through a little packet they gave us and told her about what she would be doing and what she was going to be learning. I was so proud at what she has already learned. It is going to be so fun to see her going to kindergarten. I am so happy and excited for her. I can't believe she is going to be 5 already, but I am ready for it! She is such a sweet little thing, most of the time!

Cal 15 months

From this.....

To this......

eating spoonfuls of sour cream, yuck!

getting in to the computer, naughty naughty...

he thinks he is sneaking the Oreo's.....

He is out of control. In to everything and all over the place. He is so darn cute it's hard to get mad at him, but he sure does test the patience. He is now 15 months old and we haven't yet made it into the Dr. yet, but I'll update his stats later. I love Cal so much and he has been such a blessing to our family. I love his smile, how he is always so happy, how he tries to do everything Jane and Ike do. At 15 months he has about 12 teeth, and eats everything. He has such a good appitite. He says a few words and is really understanding instructions. I love how when he knows we are leaving he gets my shoes and his shoes and then backs up and sits on my lap for me to put them on him. He is a little bit of a mamma's boy, but I don't mind that at all. He loves his dad and has really gotten a bond with grandpa shelton. When I am there he is all about grandpa (cause he lets him get away with anything and everything). He is really growing up and it has been so much fun having him in our lives. We love you Cal!

Tool Belts

Cal

Ike & his tool belt
He was so cute. He wanted his pencil to put behind his ear, but it was too big. I was wondering why he wanted to do this, but then I say on Handy Manny that Manny has a pencil behind his ear. How funny!


Jane & her tool belt. She has really been in to organizing it and getting everything in it right perfect place, just like her dad.

The kids got to finally get their tool belts. They have been working hard to earn money to get them. They were so excited about them and even more excited that they earned them.

A Wedding & Rock Band

Jammin' out


Really getting in to it!

Amy and Aaron were married on Saturday February 7, 2008. I got the privilege of doing her hair and she looked amazing. She is a beautiful bride. Aaron looked great as well. The ceremony was so good and it was fun to have all the family there. Later that night we had a dinner at the Alpine Country Club with Aaron's family and our family. It was small, great food, and fun. After the dinner we went back to The Olson's and rocked it on Rock Band. It was a blast.
Congratulations! We love you.

Best Friends

I just had some really cute pictures of Jane and one of her best friends, Ellie. We had Ellie over the other day and she is such a crack up. She has such an imagination and she and Jane come up with the best games.
Here they are dressed up in diapers, who knows why or what they are doing.

Ellie, Zoe, Ike, & Jane
summer 2008
We always go on fun outings with the Briems. I love Myken and it is always so much fun with her and her girls. It's great to have such a fun neighbor right next store.


Ellie is the neighbor with all the animals. She is always getting a bunny at Easter or some fun animal. We love it because we can enjoy them and not have to worry about feeding them and taking care of them. Thanks guys! :)


Ellie came over the day and we made cookies. It was a mess, but they loved it.
Ellie said the funniest thing to Jane when she came over. She was in our family room and said:
Ellie: Jane don't you think it's kinda sad your dad kills all those animals?
(we have a deer mounted in our family room)
Jane: .....I guess.
Another time Adam took Jane, Ellie, & Ike sledding down the big hill by our house. On the way home Ellie said to Adam:
Ellie: You sure are gone a lot.
Adam: I know I work a lot.
Ellie: No, I think you hunt to much.
Thanks for being honest with us Ellie. We love you and love having you next store!
