Ruby Falls in Chattanooga TN
On our way home from the mountain adventure, we decided to take the "long way" home. We drove to Chattanooga TN & went to Ruby Falls, a small underground cavern with a waterfall inside. David had lots of "ooohs & ahs" and "what's that"? along the way & love to touch the rocks. We are planning another trip to the TN aquarium!
Back to Nature
The Olson family took a fun trip to the north Georgia mountains. Blue Ridge, Georgia, to be exact. Even Molly & Herbie went! We stayed in a cabin, played in the leaves, walked by the creek, walked the dogs down long roads, rode the Blue Ridge Mtn Railway to Copperhill, TN, played in the hotub, ( one of David's favorite things ) & went to an apple orchard! A much needed vacation !
Breakfast at Grammie's !
Uncle Matt made breakfast for us at Grammie's house. We had so much fun! David enjoyed sharing breakfast with Francis, Jackie, Aunt Sally and Grammie too!
Jeff...40??? No way!. Denise..Young and Spry!
David and Jennie went to Amarillo recently for the funeral of Uncle Johnny. We celebrated Jeff's 40th b-day and Denise's ??? :) birthday as well. We had fun with Uncle Matt, Aunt Sally, Francis, Grammie, Joey and Jackie too!
Halloween 2005 Puppy Dog David
David was a fuzzy puppy dog for Halloween this year. He was exactly thrilled w/ the costume, but did have fun riding in his wagon to go trick or treating. David even decorated his own pumpkin with stickers.
Grandpa is so much FUN !
David's Grandpa came to visit early in the fall. Here are a couple of pics, along with their fun times in NYC !
NY NY
We recently went to NY City for a weekend. Here are a few fun photos of us walking the streets of NYC, going to art shows at St. John the Divine Church, eating breakfast in a super cool place, walking around Times Square, Rockafeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and so much more.
Dinosaurs, Fossils, Fish and More !
We went to the American Museum of Natural History while in NYC. We saw dinosaurs, fossils, sharks, snakes, birds and so much more ! David had a super time!

head, shoulders, knees and toes (on Vimeo)
This is an old video of David when he was about 11 months old or so. He "shakes it" just a bit, to one of his favorite songs, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Watch for upcoming new "dance moves". He can really shake it now!
Silly Boy !
Here are a few pics of David taken w/ the cell phone camera. He is such a ham. Poses and smiles big! There are a couple of pics w/ him wearing his pre Halloween pumpkin shirt, riding a merry-go-round at the store. Silly boy! Unfortunately, when you blow these pictures up big, they get blurry. It is better to look at them in their smaller size. MORE GOOD PICTURES TO COME !

More meals with the Guldes!
Breakfast at Uncle Matt, Aunt Sally and Francis's house, and our "goodbye" lunch in the neighborhood. Lots of fun and giggles with Grammie, David, Dad and Mom, and the Guldes. Thanks guys for a wonderful time. Come to Atlanta soon!
Dinner with the Gulde's
On our recent trip to Chicgo, we went to dinner with Matt, Sally and Francis. We went to a really fun place in their neighborhood! Thanks guys! We had fun!
Children's Museum- Chicago
David, Mom and Dad took off to the Children's Museum in Chicago. We actually got in free due to Matt being active duty military. Thanks to the museum!
David had a wonderful time! One of his favorite activities was "calling" 911 on the phone. He played with giant bowling pins, chess pieces and flowers. He went "fishing" and climbed in a treehouse. Up and down the slide, spinning, jumping, driving a bus! WOW! What a day. We were ALL tired. David slept for 2 hours afterwards! What fun! We want to go back!

GO IRISH !
We had the pleasure of finally attending the annual Carlsson Family tailgater party! What a great time! Uncle Matt, Aunt Sally and Francis all loaded up in one car, and Matt, Jen, David and Grammie in another. Off to South Bend Indiana. We had great food, thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Carlsson! We had great laughs and were so happy to see Liz, Tina and Cindy and their families! David sure had fun playing with all the kids! Well, the outcome of the game wasn't so good, and Matt got sick before halftime due to an earlier pitstop at McDonalds. But fun was had by all. David now frequently sports one of his new Notre Dame tshirts.......yes, we still love the Huskers too. But.....GO IRISH !!!
Chicago Aquarium
On a windy Friday afternoon, David, Dad and Mom went to the Chicago aquarium. David loved the turtles, the crabs and the sea horses! We watched a dolphin show and laughed at the otters. David really loved the pinguins! Afterwards, we had Chicago style hotdogs at an outdoor picnic area, watched David feed chips to the pigeons and then we strolled along the breezy lakeside. It was great fun! David walked away with a stuffed sea otter, that he squeezes and hugs often!

Gymnastics !
David goes to gymnastics 1 - 2 times a week. Sometimes, Mom goes, sometimes Dad goes, sometimes, we all go as a family. He is one of the best in his age group, " The Birdies". He can do front & back rolls, walk on the balance beam, jump, run,climb,hang and so much more! Wouldn't it be great to have an olympic gymnist in the family? Maybe THIS is the gene he actually got from MOM !
I Love Oatmeal !
Daddy and Aunt Julia made me this delicious bowl of maple flavored oatmeal. Since I am so good at feeding myself, they were able to take a few pictures of me eating this yummy stuff.
Learning to Spell
David loves bathtime so much. We thought it would be a perfect time to work on putting letters together. Can you think of any other word to start with?????????

A few new cell phone pics !
Here are some fun pictures we took with the cell phone camera. David loves to take early morning rides in his red wagon. He also loves to play with Aunt Julie, eat puffy cheetos riding around in a Walmart cart, then ride a horsey at Walmart. He then finishes the day by calling his Grandparents to inform them of all the fun he has had. If you give him a call, he will gladly talk to you on the phone. He might even say, "Lo? (hello), hey, yeah, or bye bye. Give him a ring! He is most proficient with the phone (he got this gene from Mommy).
