I thought I'd take this opportunity to update all on the goings on of the Olson family.
First up ...
Kevin. Today happens to be his 31st birthday!! I am so lucky to have him. He is an amazing father and a wonderful husband. He has many talents but they sometimes go unnoticed because he tends to hold back and let others take center stage. He is wonderful in so many ways, so I'll just say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART" and leave it at that.
Next. . .
ME. I am doing great. I think I am starting to get into a routine now that I am a stay at home mom. Then I realized that spring is coming and the kids start all of their spring sports. Change my routine again. But that is okay. I am enjoying being home and I won;t have to miss a single baseball game this year!! I need to find time to fit in some exercise, but whats a few extra pounds!! I love my callings in church. I teach the third Sunday in Releif Society and am an Activities Day Advisor. Being an Activities Day Advisor helps me to get to know the younger girls in church and our activities together are always so fun. I love the women who I work with. They are so creative and amazing. Teaching Releif Society has been a challenge. I really enjoy this calling and I canlt explain why. I am very thankful for all that I have.
Jacob . . .
I don't know where to start. He amazes me. He likes to be the best at everything which isn't always good, but he strives to do his best. He had a very good report card. (His teacher just had her first baby so wasn't able to have a parent/teacher conference, report cards just got sent home. It's nice to hear other people tell you how wonderful your kids are. He is currently taking tae-kwon do classes at Pacific Kicks and earned his white belt last week. Now he is working towards his gold belt. He really enjoys tae-kwon do. He is also anxiously awaiting baseball season to start. He is a busy little boy!!
Next up . . .
Kayla. One word. Giggly!! I love her laugh/giggle. It is so infectious. I absolutely love to hear her laugh. It makes me so happy. Her eyes literally sparkle! She loves gymnastics and cheer, which also makes mom very happy, and loves being a girl!! She is so girly! She is also little miss fashion. She loves preschool with Mrs. Hughes and can't wait to start kindergarten in the fall. She also will be starting T-Ball soon. Thanks to having a 16 year old aunt, my sister Ashley, she can sing you just about any song that you hear on the radio. Her favorite thing in the whole world right now is HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!
Last but not least . . .
My little Kelsie. This is her saying "Cheeese". I love her curls. She gets them from me! She loves to laugh and play with her brother and sister. Unfortunately, they give her whatever she wants so when she is with other children it makes things difficult. She just had her first official day in nursery this past Sunday. I was happy and sad at the same time. She is just like me, so we get on each others nerves very easily. She loves to dance especially to Mexican music, she has my rhythm as well. She loves the sacrament at church and always wants more.
So there we are. The Olson's!!

Happy Birthday Kevin!
I'm glad you are all doing well. You have great kids. Jacob is such a nice boy. Did you like the place he does tae kwon do at? Kayla is so cute too. I think every little girl LOVES High School Musical right now. Love the pic of Kelsey. She is a cutie patootie!
Your kids are growing up so fast, and are just adorable!! How sweet are they. I am glad you are liking the SAHM thing.
I love that Kelsey wants more sacrament, so does Britton. Your kids are absolutely adorable. My girls think Kayla is the cutest thing in the world. I would never have recognized Jacob, he's just grown so much. My girls still talk about when they used to play with Kayla at the soccer games.
Amy- it is so good to see your family. Some I have not met since 6th Ward times. So cute. Jacob my little sunbeam cutie pie. I put his ornament on my tree every Christmas. His eyes just melted prints in my heart. So glad your all doing so well and Happy Birthday to the hubby boy.
I loved this post since it's been so long since I've seen your family! Your kids are adorable and you look great! I'm glad the SAHM thing is working out great! It's so wonderful once you adjust!
Jacob is so cute in Primary... he ALWAYS wants to get up in front of everyone to recite that Articles of Faith!!
Lindsay, Jacob goes to Pacific Kicks over by the Sonic on Gage (BONUS!). He really likes it. The staff is great and he has learned a lot in the month or so he has been there. The only thing that is not so great is that it gets REALLY crowded in between classes when some are waiting to start and others are letting out. The building is too small I think and there are never enough chairs for all of the parents watching so i end up standing most of the time. But it's not bad. We really like to program. Very goal oriented.
Thank you all for all of the kind comments on the family. I think they are pretty special, too.
I want to brag about Jacob too! I have been meaning to tell you....but how do you brag about one child in the hallway at church!
I have always been so impressed with Jacob. He has a gentle, reverent Spirit. Maybe like his dad? But, he is always making good choices and always wants to learn more about the gospel! He is willing to participate in anything I ask him! He is superb! I applaud you for raising such a great son!
Oh Kristen. Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. It's always nice to hear good things from your kids' teachers/leaders. It helps me to worry less. You do an amazing job with those Primary Kids. Thank You.
