Toy Box Project

This is the toy box I have been working on for the boys, grandma gave it to me to recover but when I pulled off all the fabric I loved the wood underneath so much I decided to go a different direction. I haven't finished the lid quite yet because I haven't quite figured out how to finish it yet. As you can see Jer did all the staining but I promise that I did the rest :) Nate is mildly happy about having a toy box but his dad and I are thrilled...finally a place to keep all of the toys besides the floor!!

New Do!

So, in keeping with the tradition of new mommyhood, I decided to whack of my long locks. Brenda did a fabulous job and I'm lovin' my new look. And thanks to the Deyholos' for the fantastic breakfast...eggs, bacon, pancakes, strawberries...need I say more?

Also featured is Nate's new (okay more like recycled) bike, and our uber ghetto back gate!

Loves to everyone!

Baby Shower

Angela Morrow threw a fabulous baby shower for Andrew. It was great to visit with everyone. Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts.

Andrew Archer Olson

Little Andrew was born on Feb 10, 9 days early (not that I'm complaining). Nate loves being an big brother and he is my little helper. His favourite job is getting the new diapers, only the diapers with the best pictures make the cut! We are slowly adjusting to being a 2 kid family, but we are certainly looking forward to sleeping through the night.

Family photo 2009

Here's our family photo. Our cousin took the photo at South Glenmore Park, and this is one of the ones where Nate is looking in the general direction of the camera. Nate is just over two years old and is growing up so fast.

Nathaniel's Portraits

We took Nate to his very own portrait session today, it was so much fun and I think the pictures turned out great. Isn't he a cute kid?

Trying (unsuccessfully) to recapture a moment...
