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!

"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.
