Being a mom is so great, but geez nobody told me i'd be so tired! kidding. So our little Parker loves to sleep, but only when he is being held. The second we lay him down he wakes right up, it makes for some good snuggles, but snuggling at night is not my choice time! So I have gone through the possible reasons and I have decided that maybe its because his bed drowns his little 6 lb body...
All lack of sleep aside, he sure is a cute fella.
What a beautiful wife and baby boy I have! They are such wonderful blessings and I am thankful to now have both of them. Kara was so good through the whole pregnancy and will be a FANTASTIC mom for sure :)
Parker Timothy Olsen joined our family Wednesday July 08 at 12:56 P.M. He was born at Alta View Hospital weighing 5 pounds 14 ounces, 18 inches long. He is a small little guy. It is amazing how much you can love someone in just a second, and every time you look at them again, you fall more in love with them. Tim and I are so happy to have Parker in our lives. I don't know how to do slideshows or anything fancy so i will just post pictures as they come (possibly, if you know my blogging history ;)
The first week of March we threw a baby shower for Elisa Clark and her little one to be born in just a few weeks. Hooray! We had a good turnout and a lot of fun. It was at Spaghetti Mama's in one of their private rooms. My internet has been weird so it has taken me awhile to get the few pictures up that I took-so sorry for those of you that have been waiting for them. The picture above shows all that came...Crystal Childs, Lauren Doane, Eliza Smith, Elisa Clark, Taren Davis, Ali English , Ashley Hogensen, Kara Olsen, and Kjirsten Fox. 5 out of the 9 girls are pregnant so that was kind of ironic. Thanks to all that came and helped us out with it and thanks for being pregnant Elisa so we would have an excuse to get together and celebrate!!
My awesome friend Michelle Ridd makes fancy fondant cakes so in lieu of the baby shower she taught me how to make them the night before the shower. I will tell you what, they are not as easy as you would expect, but so so much fun! She was a fab ulous teacher and it was so fun learning and making it. The cake was made to match the nursery of baby Kole(you can see it on Elisa's blog). This was my first official cake-with lots of help-so hopefully I will be able to aquire all the equipment and tools to make one someday all by myself! 
. And just as well, we of course had to take a picture of the dad's as well. They are just in order by height. Josh (Taren had her baby 6 mo ago), Ben (Kjirsten), Tim (Kara), Scott (Ali), and Kade (Elisa). 
midnight which is way past bedtime, good thing Tim and I had a nap after work. I did beat my best score with a 72! Hooray for me. Ha. It turned out to be a good pre-Valentines Day.
Go Team! This picture is of Madison and I at the High School Region Drill Competition.
school when it was sooo important and awesome to make it to the state championships? Well it is still pretty cool when your alumni high school makes it too. I went to Alta and ya, the football team won state, but even cooler is that the Drill team also made it to state. I mostly care because Madison my sister is on the drill team. I went to the region competition at Brighton High School and it was so much fun! I love love love watching dancing-it makes me a little jealous that I am not the one out there, but if I can't do it, I'm okay to watch it. The picture is of the girls celebrating after they were announced as a finalist, the other is of an awesome dance with way cool kick lines! (I am just figuring out how to use our new camera, the action photos were such a pain!)
