skiing

anthony graduated from ski school and we are so proud! it was crazy to see these little guys out there on these tiny skis just racing down the mountain. he had a lot of fun and loved his teachers. it's sad that he is a better skier than me...i'll have take lesson now!

it's a....

it's a girl!

anthony kept telling us that it was a girl, but i just thought he knew that i was hoping for one! it was so funny because we had to go to fetal foto twice because the cord was in the way and the baby was hiding it's private areas. after the first visit and they told us they just weren't sure, anthony told his preschool teacher "my mom is having a baby girl, but my mom doesn't believe me cuz the baby is hiding!" he is so sweet and couldn't be more excited to have a sister. after we found out it was a girl today, i picked him up and told him mommy was having a girl and he was right all along. he just looked at me and said, "i know mom, i already told you that!" i just couldn't believe how sure he was.

we are so excited and can hardly believe it, but for the record, i do love love boys! i love everything about them. but i have to say i am so excited to buy pink, to do dance lessons, and to do all the girly things that you get to do. my boys just love me so much and we have this special bond. i am so thrilled for this little girl to love corbin like that. i know that they will have their own special bond. corb is so cute too because after we found out, he wanted to go right to the mall and buy a little outfit! he is going to be worse than me about buying her clothes!

a little update...we are alive and well!

hello all! i am so sorry that it has been so long since i have posted. for those that didn't know, the olsen family is expecting another little sweet babe this summer. we had a little scare around christmas, but we are all doing great now! the baby is healthy...gender is unknown, but i will post as soon as i do know!

i must apologize for all those who called to see how i was doing and then i never called you back! we had so many people to call for the party cancellation and then so many people after to return calls and i just couldn't do it all. so i am so sorry. also i am so sorry about the christmas party, i am so sorry for those we didn't get a hold of. i was heavily medicated and i cannot be held resposible for anything that was said or of my actions! i was so excited to see everyone and to celebrate the season, but don't worry next year!

anyways, we had a great christmas and new year. we hope that all of you had a fabulous holiday too!

trick or treat

halloween is my favorite holiday. we love it and so do our kids! anthony was spiderman (of course!), and he wanted weston to be the spider that bit him and turned him into spiderman. don't forget milo-he was spiderdog! we started with a fun neighborhood parade that is a great tradition. we took the boys trick or treating for an hour and a half and i thought weston might get tired, but he loved it. he wouldn't even let us hold him. he would just run up to the house and yell "tick or trweet!" it was really a blast. we then had to do the rounds of family to show the kiddos off. corbin's mom went all out and dressed up, but it was a little scary for the kids! anthony kept asking her where mama was!

soccer

anthony had his last soccer game today. it was so cute to see how in the course of two months these little three year olds have finally getting the game of soccer. anthony and ozzie have so much fun and are so crazy on the field together! anthony is such a little athlete and just loves soccer and his always excited when he makes a goal...even if it was by accident!

pumpkin carving

tonight we carved pumpkins. it was really fun. corbin got out the power tools and went to work. the boys wanted to help with everything, they even liked scooping out all the seed and grossness inside. weston totally got into painting his pumpkin. he covered the entire pumpkin and more! anthony invited his pals next door over and it was so fun to see what they did as well. anthony carved and painted batman, preslee painted her cinderella pumpkin, and sumner carved out a scary guy from star wars?? it was great night of fun.

pumpkin patch

we went to best pumpkin patch, packs, monday night with meghan and jason. they had pumpkins (of course), horse rides, a maze, and some fun games for the kiddos! anthony and jaxon got lost in the maze and it was so funny to see them maneuver their way out. it was such a great family event. packs still has a lot of pumpkins to pick from, so if you haven’t gotten your pumpkins for carving, go to packs! happy pumpkin!
