Hello Blog world.

Here's the latest news.

First, I might start my own, independent blog...I hope Olsensunite can survive without me blogging all the time.

Well, Yesterday James acted like he wanted to learn to roll over and could get into this position. He was happy, but then I flipped his hips over so he was on his back and he started screaming! Go figure, he likes his side, I guess.



A few weeks ago James was 3 months and I realized he outgrew his bassinet.


On the 27th Annie graduated from kindergarten. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Weibell for coming!


James was blessed in the same clothes as Grandpa Olsen. Isn't he cute?



Thanks to everyone who came! It was a great day!

Jarom and James in their Military clothes.

James trying on Jarom's blessing outfit. its cute, but a bit tight on the 14 pound 2 month old!


James in another of Jarom's outfits. What a wild crazy look he gets when he's excited!

The girls wanted to make st. patrick's day hats, so we did.

Easter (Annie had fallen and hit her head a few days before)

OK, here's the good stuff (these took forever to upload btw)




Kindergarten graduation was great. If you can make it in first grade you can make it anywhere!!! Also, the kickline was AMAZING!

Official summer calendar is up!

Notice I said official and not final. I am impressed that mom got this going on google calendar, I assume all by herself. Kudos! I dare you to check out June, July and August. Yikes!

Classic

Happy St. Patrick's Day, and Happy Late Birthday to our own Danny Boy.

Christmas Pictures

Hi everyone, as you may know, Kristi and I had some problems with our camera at Christmas time, which means that we lost all of our pictures before Christmas day. So if any of you have some pics of the Christmas program, and any other pics from Christmas Eve and before, we would really appreciate having some. If you could email them to us, or somehow get it to us on a cd or flash drive or something, that would be great. Thanks everyone. You can email them to me at buckcade@hotmail.com

Thanks everybody.

Bath Time Fun!

(Fun when its over!)

Happy Sisters coming to visit him






In his plastic box

He's a bit surly sometimes
I want to hold Baby Brother....I all done.
A natural mother
The big sister


This cute outfit from Grandma Olsen was too small already!

Heading home to the chaos...
He's thinkin' arbys, just like his father
Too young for the "Dead Chicken Strut", Grandpa found a new game to play with a 4 day old baby. (I really think that baby James liked it, very womb-ish.)

James and Cousin Kezia...She is 2 months older. I think I gave birth to a one month old!

Aunt Kristi caught him at an introspective moment.
Foo! Ya'll.
Other fun facts: Baby James has slept for 6 hours straight the last two nights...and so have I. He follows that with another three hours. Its been amazing. These acts of kindness to his parents have earned him the Meritorious Service Award, and a V for Valor.

He is known mostly as "baby brother"

I would like to welcome King James II into the family. Born yesterday, 2/11/09. He is as big as ever and looks like his namesake, and also like Grandpa Weibell.
Sorry I don't have a photo to post.

Happy Birthday to Danny!!!

Kristi Here,

May the best chili win.

Kristi Here, I say lets give a round of applause to mom for making all our Jams.
