THANK YOU HUSBAND!

WOW!! What a wonderful surprise Husband. I love you more than anyone ever could! We will continue on our journey hand in hand and defeat the villians together as they come!! I love you as the flowers love the sun, as Charlie loves dinos, as Linc loves to run, and as Max loves to entertain. I can't wait for all the wonderful days we have left together!

The First 5 of 60

To My Wife,

We have come a long way over the past five years. It seems like just yesterday that we danced. You have filled me with energy and have given me three beautiful gifts that make this world a better place. When I screw up, you forgive me. When I feel defeated, you believe in me. When I am down, you give me life. Thank you for being my wife. I love you.

The begining of a wild night.

We were on cloud 9, and we haven't come down.

Great Christmas.

One love.

Lost in the ocean...

Hot new year in Jamaica.

The aging process has you firmly in its grasp...

If you never get the urge to throw a snowball!

Some random winter fun and amusing photos

Yea! Lincoln finally found his feet in the snow.

Yes, they have the same suit which I hate but we didn't have an option. It was either that or spending way more than needed. Thanks to Grandma we found another one the right size in Rapid CiTy!

Try, try and try again and you will succeed (standing isn't easy in this stuff)

I finally figured out how to slow them down! Huge snowsuits, lots of white fluffy snow AND plunk!

Max was happy watching everyone run around him

Charlie stopped long enough for me to get one pic of him

Way too funny to watch these two in these suits

Dad and Charlie (wearing Tina's scarf) building the first snowman of the season

SOOOOOO cold!

Wanting to race but Max was going the wrong way.

Lincoln's bedtime routine - milk and diaper change haha

There's no place like home except Grandma's!

"Shhhhh I'm calling Grandma Millie"

Two weekends ago we packed the boys up to visit Tim's grandma in the cities. We were joined by his aunts Nancy and Becky and cousin caleb. The boys had a great time exploring Grandma's new apartment and visiting with family.

Tim's cousin Caleb joined us at Grandma Millie's house for some lunch and harmonica lessons.

They go on tour in the Spring

PRICELESS

Boys will be boys, even at Grandma's house

Call it a clan, call it a tribe, call it a family...

Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one!

Aunt Heather and Uncle Ben had us over for dinner on Sunday. We had a great time chasing kids, watching football and enjoying adult apple cider drinks. I'm sure we gave Heather and Ben a good idea as to what they would have to do to childproof the house when the time comes. Tim and Heather have always been close and it has been a long time coming for the seven of us to get together and enjoy the laughs again! Thanks for hosting this time!

Thanks Heather and Ben for a great afternoon! It makes me so happy to see the boys enjoy your company and love it even more that you two are so "hands-on" with them. We are looking forward to the next visit WITHOUT kiddos. Love you guys!

Siblings and best friends - Should be exciting when Heather adds kids to the pic.

CT's picture. I think someone forgot to tell Uncle Ben that there is snow on the ground! Put the shorts away Bro :)

Maximus couldn't get enough of Ben's entertainment

Into everything

Aunt Heather, the chef, had the best toys - kitchen bowls and spoon!

Max chillin with Uncle Ben again after a very messy dinner

Ben had cars that the boys loved to drive on the table

Ben and Heather's first Xmas ornament as a married couple from the boys.

The happy couple busy in the kitchen, made Charlie's favorite (homemade chicken strips)

"Hurray Honey, someone else is chasing the kids for us!"

Not for long. The girls are hard at work

Daddy and Linc snugglin every chance they get

Spook-tacular Party with Friends

Frankenstein

Friday we had our party with the daycare friends. We dressed up, painted pumpkins, made masks, enjoyed delicious muffins from Jake's mom, and created haunted house pictures (Tim drew the houses for us).

Painting his pumpkin

Cheers Auden!

Thanks for the house pictures Daddy!

Now this is a spider I don't mind having in my house

The Tortiose and the Spider (no Hare here)

Watch out for the C-Rex!

They didn't mind the costumes at all which was super fun for me!

We're so cute, it's scary!

Answering the door in his pjs to see some of his classmates

Max couldn't ride in the wagon. He was feeling left out so we had to walk to the door with big brother.

The spider was on the look out for candy snipers. He was ready to attach with a bowling pin!

Charlie and buddy Keira walking door to door together.

She was so excited to see Charlie and vise versa. Best Pals

This is when Charlie went to pick up Keira, his "date"

The Olson boys Halloween 2010!
