January was a great month! We took an Olson Family vacation to the Wisconsin Dells, Christmas Mountain! We got to ski and swim and just relax and have a great time! Ben got to go snow tubing for the first time- the first time he was a little scared...but as soon as he got to the bottom he loved it! The next two hours were spent going up and down the run! The cabin we stayed in was in a great location for "kid size" sledding right out the front door- Ben, Tommy, Nora (and sometimes Jonny) would go down the hill over and over again! So much fun! January also brought about rambunctious kids (who isn't in the middle of winter) and, after one play session, Ben & Tommy bonked heads...resulting in a black eye for Ben (his first!)
February brought Tommy's THIRD birthday! We had a little party for him with several of his friends and then we went up to Goodhue to have an impromptu sleepover party with Cousins Patrick and Nora! They have such a great time together- playing and sharing and lots of pancake and coffee making in Nora's play kitchen! To help celebrate Tommy's birthday, Ben & Aunt Carrie made home made ice cream! YUM!!!

September-October-November-December 2010
Ok ok ok... I know I have some updating to do...I am going to try and do so by year- starting with the second half of 2010... I also have updated a "Flickr" button on the right side of the page so you can look through our pictures at your own leisure! (trying to keep things flowing here!) So... here we go!!
September 2010-
We had an Olson Family Vacation up at Pelican Lake, MN. We had so much fun relaxing, taking long walks and boating! Sure it was a bit chilly, but who cares?! We were together and relaxing!
October 2010-
Leaves and more leaves! I love the start of fall with all of the changing colors on the trees- Ben and Tommy love all the leaves too!! For Halloween Ben dressed up as a Storm Trooper from Star Wars. Tommy dressed up as a Clown- Tommy's costume was made by Grandma Cathy just over 20 years ago for me! (I wore it for my Kindergarten Party!)
November 2010-
Ben turns 5! FIVE!!!!! I can't believe that my baby is five years old! He is so smart and is really looking forward to Kindergarten next year! This fall Ben signed up for his first Flag Football Team (Rochester Community Ed). He loved learning all about the game and meeting new friends!
December 2010-
This winter brought more house renovations! Our upstairs bathroom was completely redone with a new tub surround, new toilet, new light fixtures, new paint and re-finishing the vanity... it looks AMAZING!!!! (all done with the help from Dad Olson, Jonny & Tony--thank you!!) December also brought Christmas and more family time! The end of December was a Kid Christmas/Goodbye Party- Our dear friends The Miller Family were moving to New York at the end of the month so we got all the kids together for one great party!
Alright... I think we are now ready to head into 2011!
