Emma's Birthday 2010

We celebrated Emma and uncle Weston's birthday
together at "Boondocks"...we all had a "blast" playing laser tag!!

Emma won a lot of tickets playing "Disco Duck"

Emma got to have a joint birthday party with a friend

who has a birthday a few days before her.

Emma and Natalie

At the party they made bracelets, hairthings, painted nails

and had lots of girlie fun!

Fall Craft Projects

I finally made pillows for my bed....a project I've been

wanting to do for a while now!!

fabric pumpkins - love these!

Emma requested a poodle skirt for halloween this year....so here it is!

( Thank you Amber for your help :))

Mae LOVES skirts and dresses, so I decided to make

this for her after seeing one Valora had made for Brooklyn.:)

............and my favorite............this quilt I made for Marybelle!

She never had her own baby quilt, so I decided to make her one.

Suprisingly, I love how it turned out!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Trick or Treat!!

We always love our pumpkin carving tradition.....but our favorite part is lighting up our carved pumpkins and telling scary stories in the dark! We invited some friends to join us this year and had a great time.

Day camping trip

The Olson children

Roasting hot dogs...........we never actually went

camping this summer, so this was the next best thing!

This was such a beautiful place up Logan canyon!

Marybelle as the family pet.:)

Mae is 5!

Lots of happy little fairies.

First day of School

Oregon...need I say more?

Our final summer vacation is over now, and school starts in a week. Hard to believe! We had a fabulous time in Oregon...fun filled for sure! Here are some pictures to prove it.:-)

We've had a busy summer! Swim lessons, visits from family and friends, and family reuinion. And we'll go to Oregon in August! It's been great.:)

Luke's kindergarden graduation

This is a little late, but here is my boy! I can't believe he's a first grader! I sure do love 'im.

Disneyland!!!

We had sooooo much fun on our vacation to Disneyland! We drove one day (jumped in the ocean at Huntington beach when we got there), spent a day and a half at Disneyland, half a day at California Adventure, then drove back the next day (stopping in Henderson Nevada to visit some friends). Everything was fabulous, and we even got some swimming in at our Hotel! We definately made some great memories (although we did miss Claire, Pearl, and Marybelle who stayed home).
