Here are some great pics from our 2nd ski trip. David was a trooper. Just put those skis on and down the hill he went. Zachy was a trooper too! He went to the daycare and made new friends and everyone said they think he is the "cutest baby ever". We agree! David met "Powder", the ski bear. Powder said hello while we were skiing, then found us on a lunch break! David told Powder all about his skiing ability and Powder gave David a really cool purple necklace! David polished off a pizza and back to the slopes we went. Zachy was happy to see us at the end of the day. We got in the car to head for home and both boys were asleep in less than 5 minutes. Now that is a successful day.

David on Skis! WHAT?
Liberty Mountain skiing in Pennsylvania. 1 1/2 hours from our house. Oh my gosh! We took David skiing. At first, our plan was to let Daddy ski, and Buddy and Mommy would go on the tube slide. Zachy was having fun in the daycare. Well, a couple of tube slides down the hill and David decided it "was too slow and boring". He announced he wanted to "do that" as he pointed to the skiiers whizzing by. So after a hungry boy devoured a big slice of pizza, we went to get the skis and sign up with a teacher. Mr. Spike. David's ski instructor. Great guy. Took Buddy right up the hill on the lift and along with Daddy, wheeeeeee ! Down the hill with no fear. HE LOVED IT !!! Oh my gosh, the kid loves to ski! He had a few spills but popped right up and went going. Our camera broke, so no movie, but we are going back again. WAY TO GO DAVID! You are a great skiier!
Flips, Swings, Jumps and Roller Derby
More fun with our friends. We went to a gymnastics place that let us play on all the equipment. Mommy even did a back flip on the trampoline! Sorry, no pics of that.
Zachy was using his genetics (ha) and started climbing over the beam, balancing himself, and even standing for a second or two! David and Margie flipped, jumped into foam pits, bounced on the tramp, walked on the beam..... What fun. That Margie is quite a gymnast! And David was fantastic! We hit the roller rink for some crazy skating fun. Once again, Mom put herself at injury risk, and put on skates! Oh my gosh, that is fun!.....Memories of years ago..... David had NEVER skated, but he was great! And Margie learned to skate backwards! Great, great fun!

Strikes , Spares and Puppies!
One of our fun days with Kiki and Margie included David's first time to go bowling. He and Margie were both quite the bowlers! David's favorite ball was the neon orange. He and Margie played several games and Zachy was a happy onlooker. Then off to the pet store we went. We played with 2 really cute puppies. Zachy loved them! He giggled and laughed as they tried to chew on his car seat. David wore his gloves to keep those sharp little puppy teeth from biting him! Kiki was brave and got a bunny rabbit out of the cage for David and Margie to hold. It was so cute! Not cute enough to take home though. HA. What a fun day!

Visit from Kiki and Margie (aka Mo Mo)
Our dear friends, Kiki and Margie, came to visit. All the way from Tyrone, Georgia! YIPEE !! We were SO SO SO happy to have them here. And Zachy got to meet them for the first time! We played and laughed and crammed in every activity that we could. Kiki made us her famous chocolate cookies, which disappeared rapidly! Thank you guys for coming! We miss you so much and hope to see you again really soon!!!!! We love you!

Brotherly Love
Ok, not too many people want to look at pictures of kids taking a nap. But look at these precious boys. Aren't their little hands and feet so sweet? And such peaceful sleep. Wonder what they are dreaming about?.......
They love each other so much.
They fell asleep together and I couldn't resist taking a few shots. Now that is LOVE !

Haley Balentimez Day (i.e. Happy Valentines Day"
"Haley Balentimez Day", David says.
Zachy says, " Da Da Da Da", which of course, means the same (when it doesn't mean" I AM HUNGRY! OR DADDY! OR PICK ME UP NOW!"
This is the first Valentines Day for Zach and the first one that David actually understands. David can say "I LOVE YOU" in sign language.
What a fun day. We made (belated) Valentines for friends and family, got pretty cupcakes for friends at school and took off to the park for a little fun on the equipment. Both guys were dressed in red and looking awesome! Zachy was a little bit more cooperative about posing for Valentines Day pics.
Anyway, David had a great time playing and Zachy watched with great interest. Then, cupcakes for everyone at David's preschool. And off to get a few last minute items for a yummy Valentines dinner. We had salmon, salad, bread, veggies and celebrated with ice cream and presents! YIPPEE! So we hope YOU had a nice Valentines Day and thank you for the cards and gifts for the boys (Gram and Guldes). And as David says, "Haley Balentimez Day!"

Best Friends
David and his best friend Matthew. What a pair. Hugging and playing one minute, fighting the next. It is too cute. It was way too cold to play outside, so off we went to the Springfield mall. We had lunch and then the "best friends" jumped, ran and played on the indoor jungle gym. Then off to the toy store (that is sadly going out of business) "to get some Army stuff like Dad". The boys LOVE army stuff and they call themselves "heroes" . So we ended up with Army helmets and guns. Now I'm not a big fan of guns and we have a rule about not pointing guns at anyone. Only objects can be "blown up", or the gun belongs to Mommy. But boys are boys. If it's not a pretend gun, it will be a stick, bat or some type of item that will be used to "shoot" anyway. So......what do ya do??? But see, these boys are still sweet, regardless of needing to shoot up things. Don't they look cute on the carousel? :) What a fun day we had with David's best friend. Friends are cool.

Introduction To Fishing: 101
Zachy's first fishing expedition. A warm day in February. It was still nippy enough for him to wear gloves, but he didn't mind. He was introduced to one of the first aspects of fishing. Bobbers and lures. He was so sweet, chasing this glow in the dark bobber thingy. It is in his blood. Some day soon, he will outcast adults. Love them boys. Good luck ,Zachy, It gets more crazy and fun from here. Ask your brother..........
Just Doin' Guy Stuff
It was near 70 degrees outside. Strange for February. Of course, this meant PERFECT weather for fishing. ( and football, of course. It was Super Bowl Sunday) So off we all went, down to the lake for a little fishing. Though everyone got skunked ) meaning no fish were caught), it was still a fun time. This was actually Zachy's first fishing excursion. We even met a cute doggy that loved the water . Thanks, Mother Nature, for the out of the norm warm day!

Operation Overdrive !
David's favorite Christmas gift was a brand new Red Power Ranger outfit! His best friend, Matthew came over to play and of course, they were Power Rangers! Operation Overdrive! To the rescue! Next time there is an emergency, you can call us and we will send in our Power Rangers! Be prepared to see lots of RED!

Happy Birthday Daddy
December 28th, Daddy's birthday! We celebrated with a big cake, silly candles that wouldn't blow out and yummy ice cream. Daddy even gave Zachy some ice cream and he thought it was delicious. David helped Daddy blow out his candles. Dad dressed up Zachy in his 1980's retro Miami Vice t;ype colors including his super cool Bass Pro Shop shirt. We went to dinner at the new Brazilian restaurant. It was delicious! Happy Birthday Daddy!
Belated Christmas Photos
OK, so we are a little slow on the Christmas pics. And the focus and color aren't so hot either. We were just darn busy! The Christmas tree was lit, stockings were hung and snackies put out for Santa and his reindeer. A sleepy little power ranger awoke to loads of presents and he diligently unwrapped and examined each one. Zachy had a little help from big brother unwrapping as he fely it was more fun to eat the wrapping paper than tear it. Drum, tambourines, cars, books galore! What a fun morning! And Zachy looked mighty cute in his Santa's Helper outfit from Poppy and Grandma BeeWee. Thanks to everyone for all the nice Christmas gifts! Ho Ho Ho!

2007--The Year in Bass
David and I had great fun this year reeling in lots of fish here in Virginia. We started the year catching Trout and panfish, but our most fun catches were clearly Bass. Most of these were at the lake across the street from our house. David gets very excited when we manage to get a Largemouth Bass in his hands. We are hoping David's enthusiasm translates into big earnings on the Bassmaster circuit after Daddy retires.

Happy Turkey Day ! Gobble Gobble !
Gobble gobble. That is Happy Thanksgiving from the Olson Family! Daddy put THE BIRD on and made the stuffing, mom did the green bean casserole and sweet potatoes and little side dishys. Zachy even had his first taste of sweet potatoes! He loved it! We put a picture of David's first t-giving and then pics of Zachy. See the genetics in play here? David provided the family table with outstanding decorations. He worked on his train a little, and used his bug vacuum to rid the windows of any flies and played with Zachy. Zachy ate, played, and sat in the swing and just looked cute. Great day we had. (Except for the part where Mom left for work. But it was time and a half pay so......) So we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for, as evidenced by these photos. Now...33 days to Christmas and counting! Gobble Gobble !

Cell Phone Photos
Modern technology. A great thing. I realized I had all these cute shots of the kids and I'm the only one enjoying them as they are on my cell phone. So I thought I'd put them on here for all to see. The last 8 are ones that Matt took with his phone and sent to me. David holding a fish, of course. So enjoy my little pics that I've been keeping from you on my phone. Love them boys. And yes, that first pic is Zachy with a wig on. He looks like a doll. And yes, in some of the pics, David has on a dress. Don't tell his dad.

SPOOKY !! Happy Halloween 2007
Spooky ! David's new favorite word. We've had a great halloween this year. We went to our neighborhood halloween party and David, Zachy, mom and dad marched in the police escorted parade. David thought that was WAY cool. We also had our picture made with Frankenstein ! David met up with his friend and green power ranger, Matthew. Matthew's brother Tommy was looking cute as a pumpkin. And Zach was the perfect turtle. The boys went down inflatible slides, at hot dogs and chips, and played numerous games for prizes. Then, the BIG NIGHT arrived. HALLOWEEN !. The Power Rangers rode in their wagons up and down the street collecting candy after candy. And of course, keeping us safe, as Power Rangers do. And little Zachy, our precious turtle, was peacefully sleeping, missing all the fun. Oh well. He sure looked cute in his turtle outfit (thanks Aunt Denise for the costume!). See our favorite costume of the night, A TACO, and check out our spiders, 1 in the web and 1 on the roof! And see our ghost hanging in the tree and on the porch? SPOOKY !! Happy Halloween from the Olson family ! BOO ! Click on the photo for lots of cool pics ! And visit mattandsally.com for some awesome halloween pics too !

BOO ! FALL Festivals.
Fall in Virginia is just beautiful. The leaves are changing colors, the weather is beautiful, and there are fall festivals every weekend. Here are 2 sets of pics from 2 neighborhood festivals. One is at a nursery where you can go down slides, look in funny mirrors, stand next to SCARY guys, climb on hay bales and roll down hills in giant tubes, go on pony rides and "wobble wagon" rides and even get a "bat with stripes and sparkles, please" painted on your face. You can collect plastic spiders that are ALL OVER THE GROUND and take them home to play with in the tub, or put them on the floor to scare mommy ! There's even a tractor ride through the woods where one can see bats and witches, ghosts and gobblins! Even better, everyone gets a free pumpkin to take home at the end. The other was a local festival where you could where a costume if you wanted . David wanted to. So we dressed up David in Zach in hand me down costumes from cousins Joey and Jacki. Thanks guys! Of course, David had his face painted. Then our neighbors showed up with Matthew, David's best friend. They had a great time on the fire truck and ambulance. We can't wait until Halloween!! Things are getting "Spooky" around here!! BOO !

It was in the parking lot after the football game. And David LOVED IT !
Fall trip to Amarillo and Colorado
So we took a long needed vacation to Amarillo. We spent several glorious days at home, then went up to Colorado to visit the Ford side of the family and to get some trout fishing in, of course. David rode his Go Diego Go scooter at Grammies. Lookin cool. Our trip to Colorado was full of fishing, fun, family and football. There are a few fun pictures of us at the hotel pool in Colorado Springs. David loves the water almost as much as mommy! We rode a train to Pikes Peak. Fun, cold and .....oh, did I mention altitude sickness for mommy. Oh, well. David ate a pretzel and drank hot chocolate and was in heaven! We stopped off at a fun place called "The North Pole" for David to ride a few rides and see Christmas 24/7. We just had a super duper time. Thanks to everyone for such a great time.
the "End" of fun at the pool
Check out that white bottom and a great tan line !! So the end of summer brings the "end" of fun at the pool. Here are a few pics of David and his best friend, Matthew. Zachy and Matt are looking good too!. Jessica and Tommy are Matthew's mom and brother. Great friends and great fun at the pool . We'll miss you pool. See ya next summer!

Fishing Trip to Michigan
Here are some fun shots of David with Pop Pop and Daddy on their fishing trip in Michigan. The "boys only" trip consisted of a cool cabin, paddleboating, fishing, a super cool playground with a big yellow slide, a new puppy named "Dolly" and lots of laughs, smiles, hugs and kisses! Oh, and in case we didn't mention it enough, LOTS OF FISHING !!!

Olson Summer- Part 4- Beginning of August
August......more heat and more fun. Aunt Terri came from Amarillo to visit us. We had so much fun! It was too short of a trip!. Of course we spent time at the pool, but we also did some other fun things. The highlight of her visit was our trip to Annapolis, Maryland. We took a boat ride out to a light house. David sported his new green sailor's hat and loved the big ships. He even got to hang out with the captain of the ship at the front of the boat. Then, we went to Buddy's Crabs (just so happened to be next door to Zachary's jewelers. HA!) We ate all you can eat crabs. Check out David's awesome crab hat! We even made it home w/ 4 new crab hammers and a Buddy's t shirt for our Buddy. Thanks for coming Aunt Terri! Please come back soon!
August also brought Daddy's work picnic. We only stayed a little while, as it was too hot outside for Zach. Just wanted you all to see David in his awesome Scooby Doo outfit. He LOVES anything Scooby right now. Looking good Scooby!

Olson Summer- Part 3- End of July
July brought us HEAT and travels. And lots of swim time. Mommy, Zachy and David took a trip to Amarillo. Zachy's first plane ride. We spent nearly every day at "Aunt" Terri's pool. Cousins Jacki and Joey even went with us. Thanks to Aunt Terri for all the swim lessons. David came home a great swimmer! We hung out a Grammie's house with Uncle Hunkie and Aunt Jerry, worked in Grammies flowerbeds and David and Jacki spent lots of fun time at "Jump -n-Jive". BOUNCE BOUNCE ! The kids were ready to get back home to Daddy, as you can see in the last few pictures. Everyone was tired too. I got a couple of pics of the boys napping. Great way to end July.......stay tuned for more!

Olson Summer- Part 2- Beginning of July
Happy 4th from the Red White and Blue gang. We all dressed up in our patriotic outfits to celebrate the 4th. Jeff, Denise, Joey, Jacki and Grammie were still here visiting, so we celbrated PART of the holiday with them. They all took off to the Big Apple, NYC, to see a Broadway show !!! The Olson's packed it up and went over to visit our friends, the Triola's (Margaret is Jennie's super duper friend), and we celebrated with fireworks and yummy food. You can see David laughing at the loud fireworks. He thought they were great but then got "too loud !!!" So he went back in the house to play. We finished up the week with family and carousel rides at the mall. Zachy, of course, got tons of hugs, kisses, cuddles and love from everyone. He's a loveable little guy!
David has been learning to swim. He has a really great friend whose name is, of course, Matthew. His mommy is Jessica and the baby brother is Thomas. We have spent nearly every day and weekend at the pool. David got his mom's genes when it comes to water. He's a FISH!. Here are some pictures of David and his friend, Matthew at the local pool. WE LOVE THE WATER !!!
Olson Summer Part I - End of June
Ok, I finally got around to posting pictures. We've been BUSY around here!. So June, of course, brought us little Zachy. But we also celebrated David's 3rd birthday. TWICE !! We celebrated on June 10th, his actual birthday. Thanks to some serious present wrapping, set up and hard work by Aunt Sally and Grammie. Then at David's request, we had a "Backyardigans Party" with Uncle Jeff, Aunt Denise, Joey, Jackie and Grammie. They were all visiting as Jacki was here for the Junior National Youth Leadership Conference. Way to go Jacki!! We had so much fun! Jacki was a big help with Zachary and David. Grammie and David worked diligently on keeping Mommy's flowers and tomato plant alive. The boys did some serious fishing! What a great way to finish up June, a busy month here in the Olson household. Stay tuned for more summer pictures!

Finally, Zachary John Olson 6-5-07
Better late than never. Finally found a moment to put pictures up of our newest family member. Zachary John Olson was born June, 5 2007 at 4:30 AM. He weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. He looks EXACTLY like his big brother, David, who is madly in love with his new brother. What can we say. He's awesome and getting bigger by the day. Week one, he lost a little weight. Week two, he weighed 8# 2 oz. Week 3, 9 # 4 oz, and week 4, he was up to 10 # 4 oz. and 20 inches long. Perfect in every way. Apologies for the delay, but we are busy here! Thanks to Grammie, Grandma Bee Bee and Aunt Sally for all the help. Zachy misses you all! Welcome Zachary, to the Olson household.

Memorial Day Leesburg Petting Zoo
We had a great day at the petting zoo in Leesburg. The area is so beautiful and we found some fun places to visit on the weekends. David really liked feeding the llamas, "rein"deer , baby goats and baby piggies. He chased a turkey and several chickens, rode a pony and even got a chuckle at the puppet show even though he initially tried to convince his parents that he "really won't like it". Mommy liked the donkey, the giant tortise and the macaw birds. Daddy had to carry Buddy in part of the petting area as those crazy goats were getting rowdy. The camel and llama were pretty cool though. David finished the day with a yummy Sponge Bob Square Pants ice cream bar. Perfect. And for those of you that have been asking for my stomach pictures, look closely and you will get a couple of free shots. Ridiculously huge. Enough said. Anyway, we had a great time over this long weekend holiday!
Mother's Day Sheep Shearing?
Ok, this is a couple of weeks late. Better late than never. David's Pop Pop was in town for the weekend of Mother's Day. We decided to go to the nearby working farm for sheep shearing day. We had a great time! We got to watch the sheep being shaved for the summer, ride a wagon around the park, play with the animals, see the new baby piggies, "ride" a red tractor and do arts and crafts. The little sheep and construction paper placemat that David made are proudly displayed on the fridge for those that will be visiting to admire! What a fun Mother's Day at Frying Pan Park Sheep Shearing Day!

Fishing With Pop-pop
What do three generations of Olson men do when they get together? Of course, Fish!
Pop-pop was here this weekend to bring us our boat and do a little fishing in the process. He was let into the secret order of urbanTrout fishermen as our honey hole is a deeply protected secret among a handful of locals. Caught some Rainbows, a couple Crappie, and a few Bass. Overall, we had a great weekend and we miss Pop-pop already.

Trout!
We hit the jackpot today! Yesterday was the last major trout stock of the season. We hit the local hotspot and got five Trout. We lost about the same number.
It was lot's of fun. David squealed with each fish! Too bad Trout Season is almost over.

Rock Bass and Sun Fish
OK. So all along, we've noted that David has caught "this fish" and "that fish". Maybe these were little "fish" stories of their own, if you get my drift. MAYBE, Daddy helped David just a little bit. But today, after actually digging up the worms in our backyard, David CAUGHT SOME FISH BY HIMESELF ! On HIS fishing pole that really had a little hook on it with the REAL worms. Those crazy fish were biting faster that we could count. We lost count after about 15. So today was a MOST sucessful day for the Olson anglers! If it wouldn't have started raining, we would have been fishing in the dark!
Sunday, April 22, 2007
"We got 3 big bass," says David.
David and Daddy went fishing AGAIN this morning. This has now become a near daily occurance. They have had a dry spell the last few days then WHAM, 3 bass this morning. David squealed so loud you could hear him on the other side of the lake! We've got quite the fishermen here at the Olson house.
We Have A New Puppy !
We went to the Japanese Festival this last weekend. David was insistant that he have his face painted. He wanted a puppy dog face. The festival is in line with the cherry blossom festival, as the Japanese originally gave the trees to DC as a gift. We had a great time eating "not good for you" type food and watching all the fun Japanese artists display their goods. We even had stranges ask if they could have their picture made with David because he looked so cute as a puppy dog! We had a worn out puppy at the end of the day!

Happy Easter from the Olson Family- 2007
Happy Easter from the Olson Family!
We spent the Easter weekend in Amarillo visiting Grammie and the Guldes! What fun! The Easter Bunny made a "special trip" to Grammie's house to find David! AND, "O Jeff" and "O 'Nise" brought a special bag of Easter goodies to David as well. What a fun weekend! From bubbles to eggs to chocolate to spiderman to Crayola supersize chalk, we think Easter was great this year! Happy Easter from the Olsons!

Happy Birthday Grammie ! Surprise !
Surpise to Grammie on her birthday!! The Olson clan made a surprise "quick trip" to Amarillo to celebrate Grammie's birthday with her. As luck would have it, we celebrated Easter with her too! We had a blast eating a Red Lobster with "O" Jeff, "O" Denise, Jacki and Jo Jo. Just check out the remains of only ONE of the crab plates. Grammie celebrated with a big icecream sundae! Back to Gram's for more fun and a Superman impression by David. We woke up on Saturday to SNOW and cold weather, but it didn't stop us from having more weekend fun with the Guldes! Yummy Texas steak at Logans and more fun at Gram's was a perfect ending to a great weekend. Happy Birthday Grammie!! Hope you liked your surprise! Thanks to the Guldes for a super fun weekend!
Easter Egg Hunt 2007
We went to a community Easter egg hunt and had such a great time! David enjoyed the free hotdogs and chips before the hunt. David and Daddy went inside the little petting zoo and David said he liked the goats and the turtle the best. Mommy helped David hunt eggs and put them in the big basket. After the hunt, David jumped on the big bouncy thing and had a great time! Happy egg hunting!

Fish, Worms, Kites...Boys Boys Boys
What a great weekend. I have to admit, boys are pretty fun. Good thing, as I will be outnumbered soon. We spent all of Sunday fishing and playing. We went to 2 different lakes! We played with Daddy's fishing worms, and even caught 2 fish! David stuck his finger right in the mouth of the small mouth bass without hesitation. We flew our kite and ended the day with a few pushes the swing. What a great day! Love them boys!

And...the cat came back, he couldn't stay away!
Our beloved Morris Kitty has been gone most of the winter. At one point, we even posted a "lost cat" notice on the local animal control web page. We even thought that maybe the harsh winter had done the poor kitty in. BUT NO ! We spotted him down the street a few weeks ago. He apparently is mad at us again and has taken up temporarily with new friends. He did grace us with his presence 2 whole days in a row . So we grabbed the camera to record this most historic event! Unfortunately, we only got a couple of shots as Morris darted out the door, back to see his kitty buddies down the street.

The Sun! The Sun ! YIPEEE!
It only lasted for 2 days, but we were happy! The warm sun came out and we had near 80 degree weather! We even considered putting on sunscreen! David grabbed an orange popcicle, some yogurt, juice and other various snacks, along with his chair and teddy. We headed out at 10:00 in the morning for some "sunning" on the front porch. He proclaimed that he needed his "shades", hence the cool dude look. COME BACK WARM SUNSHINE !!

What's Up With the Weather !!!
Ok, so 2 weeks ago, we had a minimum of 5 inches of snow. Cold, blowing, deep snow. David and our neighbors, Zhara and Imani, built an 80's retro pink haired, punk type snowman, went sledding on the hill, and did a little work with the daddys and a shovel. Best part of the day was coming inside and sharing hot chocolate and girl scout cookies! We want warmer weather please!

Luray Caverns, A Bag of Rocks and a SNAKE !
We had a fun 4 day weekend over Presidents Day. We decided to venture to Luray, VA, about an hour or so away. There is a natural caverns there, similar to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. We took an hour long guided tour down in to the "cave" , as David called it. David's favorite part was getting to buy a bag of different colored polished rocks, and then a "pretend" rattlesnake. Upon leaving the "cave", we went outside to discover SNOW ! What a fun day we had!

Adventures of SUPERMAN !
SUPERMAN lives in OUR house!!! And by the way, he can fly and eat and orange "push up" ice cream at the SAME time. He also loves his "superdog", Molly, and he can play CANDYLAND in his spare time when he is not flying around the house or lounging on the rug or in the chair. Stay tuned for more adventures with SUPERMAN !
Winter Fun
David loves to play in the snow, no matter how cold it is. He also likes to make snow angels, as seen in the second picture. Unfortunately, he likes to lay on his tummy to make them vs. his back. Makes for a cold nose on the angel when all is said and done. Notice that he again was very fashionable by wearing his helmet on one of his outdoor adventures.
Breakfast With Daddy
Just a few funny shots of Buddy and Daddy being silly at breakfast! As David says, "best friends".
An Eye for Fashion
David recently has grown quite fond of wearing his bicycle helmet. He felt very "fashionable" this day with his helmet on, a bright gold shirt, thermal pj bottoms and one sock. Maybe he's on to something here..........We think he looks awesome!
