DEVIN CAMI KIERSI JACKSON

Christmas--finally

2011-01-04T15:02:00.000-08:00

Kiersi's stuff from Santa!

Jackson's stuff from Santa! I know, a lame carseat but come on, he is 7 months and didn't even wake up to open the presents, kiersi opened them all=) and he is going to need this carseat anyway so we decided what better than to get it for Christmas!

Kiersi's "dollies" this is the ONLY thing she asked Santa for and that is the only thing Santa didn't all ready have for her! I guess he found some=) and she LOVES THEM! she didn't even see the scooter that they were sitting on! she just said "my dollies" and took them off of the way cool scooter that I thought she would freak out over! she did later=)

she is inside her new snoopy dirty clothes hamper! she thought that was the coolest thing ever once I told her what it was for! and sure enough when she takes her clothes off at night she puts them right inside snoopy! its great!

The only picture we got of Jackson Christmas morning! his mean mom woke him up at like 7:30 but by then Kiersi had most of them opened! we do have video of him opening some though!

This is Kiersi's "pillow pet sleeping bag" it is so much better than the real pillow pet cause its got the sleeping bag rolled up inside and then its also a pillow! she loves it! And as you can see so doe Jackson! they got these from my parents! but I picked them out=)

isn't he just the cutest little boy ever!!!!!!!!

Kiersi with her dollies in her pillow pet pag=)

HER SCOOTER, or as she calls it her motorcycle! she has so much riding this! she is just not quite sure about going backwards! I'm excited for it to be warm for her to ride it outside!

Random-ness

2011-01-04T14:36:00.000-08:00

Temple Square!! she has many different smiles! we didn't take any of Jackson cause he was asleep in his carseat and it was too cold to unwrap him!=( he was there though and cute too!=)

isn't she so stinkin cute!

Kiersi saw Santa twice this year and loved him both times!!! the funny thing is both on the same day so she is in the same outfit! the other funny thing is that she has the same hat on in LAST YEARS picture with santa! just goes to show that she hasn't really even grown much!! =)

Jackson just liked to pull his beard! he didn't even cry!

Devin's brother Brandt got married just recently and this is Kiersi in her dress!
and Jackson in his tie! he sure did look handsome! look at the size of the two of them, yes, almost the exact same size, its funnny! Kiersi just has him in length!
Not a super good copy cause this is me taking a picture of the picture! but, I needed a copy and didn't want to buy the stupid cd for $100 so this is what we get to put online=) I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Halloween and Kiersi's first clogging competition

Free photo collage generated with Smilebox

I don't have a picture of Jackson's costume on my camera! I know, horrible mom,but my sister in-law took one and I can't seem to save it on my computer so that one will come! the bottomtwo pictures on here with Kiersi in a blue skirt was her first cloggng competition! she actally did her freesyle!! I was soooo proud of her! she got 1st place and got her medal, she was soooo excited to get a medal, thats the only reason she did it, I told her if she didn't do it she wouldn't get her medal=)

Kiersi's funnies =)

2010-10-20T12:18:00.000-07:00

OK, so I never remember to write down the funny things that Kiersi says, but here are a few from the last couple days!

*There is a little girl Jessica in our neighborhood that goes to kindergarten, and the school bus stop is the corner at our house. Kiersi always hears the bus and has to run and look out the window. Well one day she says "mom, I wanna go to school with Jessica." I told her that she isn't old enough and that she had to be five years old. well, just a minute or two after that she said, "mom, my hand is big now, holding up five fingers, I can go to school with Jessica now" she figured that since she had five fingers her hands were big enough and she could go to school! I laughed pretty hard and told her she is only 2 and that she had to be 5 years old, not just have five big fingers=)
*Today while eating lunch, which always takes her FOREVER, I told her to just take a bite and eat her lunch! she just looked at me and said "I don't have time" Then just a little bit later, still eating I again told her to take a bite and she looked at her noodle on her fork and said "let me think about it!"
*While playing with her friend Alex she told him " Alex, don't worry about it" I can't remember what they were doing, I jsut remember hearing her say that over and over! =)
*Last night I went to a recipe group and Devin said she asked to hold Jackson( who weighs almost as much as she does=) Devin put him on her lap and she said "Jackson you are heavy" kinda grunting as she said it!
*Today while teaching preschool, we were doing show and tell and it was a little boys turn named Coleman, well he wasn't listening so I said his name kinda singing it, and Kiersi looked at me and said "mom, not Coleman(singing it) just Coleman"
She is talking so much lately sometimes I have her to just stop talking and go play =) She says so many funny things I just can't remember them lately, I need to write them down as soon as she says them so I can remember cause I know there is a lot more that she has said lately!
I sure love her and she is getting so smart and even more funny as the days go!
Jackson on the other hand is just getting bigger and bigger and loves to jump when I hold him and he loves to lay on the floor, looking up at the ceiling, and just scream, a happy scream that is! I am pretty sure he is seeing angels and they are telling him jokes cause he is just so happy doing it!

Jackson 4 months!

2010-10-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

4 months old means FOOD!! but as you can tell he doesn't really like it much! and 2 weeks later he still isn't really sure! The doc said you can basically start them on fruits and veggies first, skip rice cereal, no nutrition, and then go right into the rest of the foods! so far I have given him sweet potatoes and squash, not so sure about either, but we are trying! I thought for sure he would just go crazy for it since he wants to eat like every 5 minutes, but not so much, soon though, he just needs to get used to it!!
(see his 4 months stats below)

Here are some pictures of the last couple weeks!

Kiersi and her cousin Ethan at the zoo!

more cousins, Levi, Kiersi, Dakota, Colton, and Ethan.

Kiersi found this at my neice D'laina's house, she thought she was so big to ride this!

Jackson(right) and Brock(D'laina's-left, just incase you didn't know=) Brock is 4 weeks YOUNGER than Jackson! would you even guess!
what cute boys! they will be best-est friends!!

Wow, 4 months has gone by fast, yet so slow!=) I thought for sure when I took Jackson in for his 4 month well visit the doc. would tell me he is huge=) but his stats are:

weight: 14lbs 12 oz--50%

hight:25inches 50%

head:17 1/4 inches 75%

My little guy is an average little thing! I am compairing him to his sister that to this day is still not on the charts for her weight, so compaired to her he is huge! he is 15 lbs and she at 2 1/2 is 21 lbs, so he is going to catch her before to long! but I sure do love both of them, well most days=)

lately they are both driving me crazy! I asked Devin the other morning if I could call in sick being a mom cause I didn't feel good and I was tired, he said good luck with that=) I am greatful to be a mom though, I wouldn't trade it for anything, some days are just hard and I'm just tired. I teach preschool in the mornings, teach dance Wed. and Thurs. afternoons, and also on Wed and Thurs for 4 to 5 hours I watch Alex, my neighbor's little boy, and boy is he full of energy. He is Kiersi's best-est little friend though and we sure love him! I know its not a lot but when I have 2 high maintainance kids my self I am exhausted by the end of the day! 2 kids is definatly plenty for me right now!=) I don't know how people do lots of kids, maybe when Kiersi is older it may be easier! ok, sorry, enough whining! I LOVE MY KIDS!=)

WAY BEHIND!

2010-08-25T19:47:00.001-07:00

OK, so this is just a lot of random pictures throughout the last couple months!
This one is at Sea World, Kiersi is starting to like Elmo but of course when she goes to have a picture with him she freaks, so I had to go with her! Lately she is not taking naps, either I'm just out and about or she wakes up to late and isn't tired until later, so this is the result of not taking a nap!=)

Uncle Jason bought her this bike like last summer(yeah he spoils her, he bought her a trampoline a little bit ago too) well, she is finally tall enough to ride this bike and she LOVES it and so does her best little friend Alex. Alex's mom finally gave in a bought him a bike and helmet so then Kiersi had to have one, which is a good thing, just haven't got around to buying her one! she sure looks cute though! a little big cause she has a TINY head, but it works!

Back in San Diego at the beach. the water was FREEZING so we didn't get in but Kiersi liked to play in the sand!

Jackson is now 3 months old, holy cow where does the time go! this is his new bumbo chair. he was watching me as I unloaded the dishwasher!=) I love his arm, he is "just chillin" =)

Kiersi LOVES her little brother. whenever I take a picture of him she has to get in!

He has the CUTEST little smile but whenever I put the camera in front of him he goes somber, little turd but this is one I was able to get, really the ONLY one I can get!! He is STINKIN cute!

This is Brock(left) and Jackson(right) Brock is my neices little one that was born exactly 4 weeks after Jackson. they are about the same size=)

Jackson's blessing day!

I can't remember how old he is exactly but maybe one month!

kiersi is NOT a beautician!

2010-07-15T19:23:00.000-07:00

SO KIERSI AND KIERA, HER 3YR OLD COUSIN DECIDED TO PLAY BEAUTICIAN TODAY! NOT SO MUCH A GOOD IDEA! I went upstairs to put some clothes away and then Jackson got crying and I went to make him a bottle when Kiersi came up and said "mom cut hair" I don't think I have yelled that loud in my whole life, I let her and Kiera have it! then I cried and yelled some more! I instantly called Amber, Devin's sister who cuts hair and she came over and this is the end result! I am still not happy about it and when I look at her I still cry! her hair was just getting so long and pretty and I could do pigtails! but I guess all little girls have to do this right??? Kiera just got her bangs and you can't even tell that it was cut, Amber just blended it in and it looks fine, Kiersi on the other hand!!!

THE RIGHT SIDE!

AND THE FRONT! SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD A MULLET CAUSE THE BACK WAS NOT TOUCHED! STILL LONG AND PRETTY!

Hopefully it grows fast casue I really wanted to do family pictures with Jackson, now it may have to wait a little longer!

I need advice/help!

2010-06-14T13:11:00.000-07:00

OK, so I figured that since only women read these, I need HELP! I really am trying to nurse Jackson, I triedwith Kiersi but didn't produce much and am having the same problem with this one. I have tried herbs, a mothers milk tea, the prescription but nothing seems to really help. I just may not be the nursing type but I really really want to, and fomula is just expensive and I don't want to have to use it, he likes it which is awesome but I want to nurse too! So... if any of you have any thoughts on this I would love some advice.
ALSO, lately I have been getting bloked ducts, which hurt like the DICKENS! I get them on one side only and it takes everything out of me. I've tried everything I can think of. I just don't think its normal for them to come back on the same side every stinkin time! anyway it hurts and I don't know what to do. All ofthis really makes me want to stop nursing him but I am trying my best to keep it up cause I know its good for him!
Anyway, kinda a dumb post but I figured different people may have gone through the same thing and would have some help for me cause I REALLY need it!

JACKSON NOAL OLSON

2010-05-25T12:27:00.001-07:00

So, the pictures are out of order. I guess I'm still new at this and don't know how to fix and put these at the end=) Obviously these two are us getting ready to take him home!

cuddling with my daddy!

My big sister is the best! She is going to be a good helper, maybe too good=) She couldn't get enough of holding him!

JACKSON NOAL OLSON

Jackson was born Last Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 9:33 p.m. I am sooo glad he is here and he is such a handsom baby boy! I fell more in love with him the moment they put him on my chest! It is truly a miracle how these little ones get here and I am sooo greatful to be a mommy again!

Kiersi LOVES her baby brother, she was not sure about me being in the hospital hooked up to the iv and such, she didn't want to be in there but as soon as she saw Jackson she wanted to be in there=)

Me and Jackson shortly after he was born!!

He weighed 6lbs 10.9 oz but they round that up and just say 6lb11oz.

Pretty much this one is right after he was born, isn't he so cute!!!

birthdays/easter

2010-04-08T14:10:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple Easter pictures, kinda random but I can't figure out how to re organize them, so enjoy!!
OK, so I turned these and they didn't turn! oh well, she loves coloring eggs!

finding eggs at gmas and gpas house!

Easter morning, looking in her basket after finding eggs!

Loving her new movies the Easter bunny(ok aunt cyndi) gave her!

coloring eggs at gmas house! she loved doing this!

So Smiths had an egg hung and yeah, do you see how much candy there was and there was only like 8 kids so nonethe less we have about 10 pounds of candy, really, we weighed it!! I am going to bottle some and save it for Halloween =)

This one is albertsons, she got maybe 20 eggs but she did love looking for eggs!

and I just threw this one in, she LOVES to sit and watch movies lately on our portable dvd player so this is her with fingers in and all. sometimes she sits on the banana chair with the movie on the preschool green chair or she will sit on the bean bag with the chair in front of her, but I loved this of her on her belly!

OK, so a little late but here are some pictures of Kiersi's and Devins's b-days! mostly Kiersi though=) This one is her helping Devin blow out his candles!

Her new scooter! grandpa Callister found this scooter at the DI for 6 bucks and we spray painted it purple, it was harley davidson with orange flames on it, not too girly! she LOVES it!

Her new cheesey smile, and the shirt aunt cyndi bought her!

Her cupcake cake, I did turn this picture but it obviously didn't turn. another cheesy smile!

I love my Kiersi and can't believe she is 2! she is a joy in our lives and is going to be such a good big sister!

SEAWORLD/SAN DIEGO ZOO!!

2010-01-22T15:27:00.001-08:00

SO, yesterday(Jan. 21st) was Devin and I's 5YEAR anniversary! So last weekend we took Kiersi California and went to Seaworld and the SanDiego Zoo! We had soooo much fun as a family! here are some pictures from our trip!! We got to touch these dolphins! the guy next to us knew how to get them to come up to us, Kiersi loved it but I don't know who loved it more, me or her! I could have stayed there FOREVER petting the dolphins, it was soooo cool to feel them, but I figured the kids waiting behind me needed a turn=)
This is the dolphin show, well, half of it, they are remodeling the dolphin stadium so we just got a little bit of it at the shamu staduim, nontheless it was cool!! I hope to go back before the end of the year to see the full show in the new stadium that opens end of May!!

At SeaWorld they have a play place for kids and this was Kiersi's highlight!! this place is kinda bouncy and had the blocks, she LOVED it. this is her running back towards me!

This is my FAVORITE picture of her, there were just these little tunnels and she went through and through them millions of times, I made her sit there and say cheese and I actually got a good one! =)

Kiersi and daddy playing!!

Kiersi's new thing is to "raise the roof" she says "woo woo" so this is her standing on the top toy thing doing her "raise the roof" wity daddy! yes, she is a DADDY'S girl!

This is at the zoo, this panda was just basking in the sun eating what ever that is=) there is a new baby panda but he is only out for 2 hours first thing in the morning so we didn't get to see it!

And for my highlight of the zoo, the KOALA!!! You can't see very well, but there is a baby on the moms tummy, its kinda more brown, I tried to get a better picture, but just couldn't seem to get it! but, I LOVE koalas, they are my most favorite animal and they had TONS just sleeping in the trees, it was awesome!

Anyway, we had a good time, it was good to be home, but loved the trip. I can't believe it has been 5 years, sometimes it seems like it should be longer, but other times it doesn't seem that long! I love my husband and it was fun to kinda celebrate our anniversary a little early with Kiersi there with us, she definately makes our life exciting and its fun to have her around, she has more energy than I remember any kid having =) We are excited to now have a BOY though, it will definately be different, but we can't wait to see him and see what he is like!!!

Christmas, I know, I'm late!!=)

2010-01-12T17:44:00.001-08:00

Here are a couple Christmas pictures of Kiersi, I tried rotating this one and it waid it was rotated but obviously its not, so turn your head! This is one of the princess dress up outfits she got, and her new cheesy grin=) Her new camp chair!

her new doll and stroller

Christmas this year was so fun with Kiersi! She doesn't quite understand yet, but she was pretty excited about the whole Santa bringing her toys! She was very excited to see things sitting out from Santa and then even more excited to open presents! I am excited for next year when she will maybe understand a little more!

??????

2009-12-15T11:34:00.000-08:00

I don't have soft checks to kiss. I don't yet have a name. You cannot hold my tiny hands nor whisper in my ear it's still too soon to sing a song or cuddle me so near. But all will change come May 28th for that's when they say I'm due. All I ask between now and then is patience while I grow. I promise I'll be worth the wait because of all the love we'll know. So as your waiting patiently, please pray lots of prayers for me. I cannot wait to be a part of a wonderful family!!

So, if you cannot tell I am having another baby! We are soooo excited to have another little one in our home! I don't know what it is just yet but I made the count down box blue cause that is what I am guessing=) I will find out probably after Christmas! Kiersi will be an awesome big sister, she all ready wraps her baby up in her banket and bounces it, when I ask her where mommy's baby is she points to my belly, so its fun! The pains have been worse this time than with Kiersi but I have not been as sick with this one, thats why I say boy=) but we'll see! Thanks D'laina for letting me copy the cute poem!!

Kiersi with santa

2009-12-07T11:22:00.000-08:00

OK, so I a lame and kinda forget to put stuff, ok and little lazy and don't want to download all my pictures. But, Saturday morning our ward had a christmas breakfast and santa was there and this year Kiersi sat on his lap without any hesitation! Last year she freaked and this year she walked right up to him. It did help that he had a whole load of candy canes he was giving and she REALLY wanted one, but anyhow here are a couple of pictures!

Kiersi 18 months stats!/ family pics

2009-10-03T11:45:00.000-07:00

These pictures were taken at my sister in laws reception, and my neice Heidi took them, she did awesome!! I love them!

Kiersi being silly!

Kiersi and Mommy!

So on Monday I took Kiersi to the doc. for her 18 month checkup and here are her stats:

17 lbs. 13 oz--- NO PERCENT AT ALL!!

Height---31 inches. 25-30 percential

head---17 1/2 inches-- 5 Percintal

My little girl is just as tiny as they come!! Last winter I went to Park City and bought a TON of winter clothes on sale and bought 18 and 24 months stuff, well THEY DON'T FIT!!!! I took them to my sister Jolynne's house yesterday and we had to put everysingle item on her so that Jolynne could adjust and take in and shorten etc. them all. So thankfully now she has clothes that fit her for the most part. Only one pair of pants couldn't be fixed, they were to decorative so I have no doubt she will fit into them next winter! =) THANKS JO!!!! I guess I need to learn to sew!

I love my baby girl and am so greatful to have her in my home, she is beautiful and I couldn' t have asked for a better little girl, although stubborn and all ready hitting the terrible 2's I love her more than I could have ever imagined!! I am blessed to be a mom and to be able to take care of my family!

I choose to do this why??

2009-09-24T11:56:00.001-07:00

So I started preschool a couple weeks ago, which I love doing and enjoy having a little extra money to actually do stuff with =) But my 3 year old class is, well lets just say, NUTS!!! I have never had a 3 year old class this hard! I am exhausted after class every time! I feel like I am always yelling, well not yelling just being a little firm;) and these 3 year olds CAN NOT do ONE THING, they can't cut(its like they don't even know what scissors are) they can't follow directions, I tell them to do something and they look at me like I am a RETARD! I've done 3 yr. olds before and they at least knew a little bit and most of them by the 3rd or 4th week were fabulous with everything, not this class, I don't know that they will EVER get it. So, needless to say I'm telling myself I will NEVER do 3 yr. olds again, even though I most likely will =)
Anyway, I just needed to vent and if anyone has some advice for me you are more than welcome to send it my way! =)

KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS!

2009-08-24T10:51:00.000-07:00

OK, so I have seen a lot of people post things that their kids say on their blog and since Kiersi isn't really talking much I haven't, but this morning it was her actions that I couldn't pass putting on here. So we got out of the shower and I put her towel on and thankfully for me its that time of the month so before I even get her dressed that has to be taken care of =) so I got a tampon and Kiersi looked at me, pointed to the tampon box and crouched down and pointed, on her, where it goes!!! I couldn't believe she knew that much, kids are so dang smart!!! I guess her following me everywhere I go has taught her a little more than she needs to know!!! Maybe a little more graphic, but couldn't pass putting in on here, and since its kinda a journal for me I had to have it on!! =)

DISNEYLAND!!

2009-06-30T13:13:00.001-07:00

OK, I finally remember to put out Disneyland pictures on here!! They are kinda random and not really in order, but thats ok! I took my clogging studio,(thats why in some pictures we all have the same shirts) they performed twice, once at Disney and once at California Adventure and did an AWESOME job!!
We had sooo much fun and Kiersi was awesome, I don't think I would wanna take her again until she is older, but she was pretty good!

Kiersi's favorite was Minnie, my sister Cyndi bought her a stuffed Minnie(is that how you would put it??) and she just holds it every where, she loves it!

I don't know who took this picture of Kiersi, but I just love it, she looks so stinkin cute in it!

This is inside Minnie's house!

There was not many rides Kiersi could go on, but in California Adventure they had a little part for kids, she LOVED it!

This one she was unsure of, it went in a figure 8 and then each "ladybug" went in a circle.

This was just before the Light Parade and she was tired and getting a little fussy so I bought this succer, she LOVED it.

Look at her hand, she is saying "ok" we thought it was funny!

This was Kiersi's FAVORITE ride, she went on it probably like 10 or 12 times.

This is the California Adventure Minnie, not as cute, but we had to get a picture with her!=)

Mom and Kiersi going to watch the Fantasmic!

Devin, Kiersi, Troy and Talmage with Mickey in his house! This was while I was backstage with My studio so I didn't get to go =(

Kiersi's first ride, It's a Small World, she wouldn't look at the camera, she loved looking at all the figures.

our new puppy!!

2009-05-23T16:01:00.000-07:00

So my sister's dog had puppies and she gave me one!!!! She is a chorkie, it is a mix of yorkie and a Chihuahua! she is stinkin little and cute, I took her to the vet the other day and she is 1.5 pounds! I put her by the teddy bear so you can see how tiny she really is! I am working on the potty training, and its not too bad so far, I don't know if she actually understands, but she does bark in her kennel and I take her out and she goes, so we'll see! We named her Maizie!

Kiersi LOVES her and just lets her bite on her hand, she will just stick her hand in her mouth=) she has heard me say "no no maizie" and she will try and copy me and tap Maizie's head or nose like I do, its kinda fun to watch the two of them together! Kiersi is trying to give her one of her little bone things to chew on!

the zoo

2009-05-23T15:44:00.001-07:00

Its not very often that Devin doesn't work on Saturdays so today we took the opportunity to take Kiersi to the zoo! she loves animals and had a great time! this is the girl giraffe......... This is the boy and girl, after she denied him! =) she kept rubbing her leg on his, it was pretty interesting to watch, but he gave up!

This is before, I know kinda sick, but it was really kinda funny to watch this happen, the zoo lady said that this can only happen for a girl giraffe 1 in 15 days, but as you can see in the picture above, it didn't happen =) there were TONS of people standing waiting for this to happen, but we didn't get a show! =)

closer up of them! =)

This is the giraffe that is pregnant(licking the pole), got so by the boy in the other picture =) I actually saw her belly moving, it was kinda cool!

anyway, it was fun just to spend time together, it was crowded so we didn't stay for long, but fun anyhow!

OUCHY/BACKPACK

2009-05-13T12:11:00.000-07:00

So, in my preschool I have one little girl and this is her lady bug back pack, Kiersi LOVES playing/walking around with it! so today I finally took a picture of her with it, my camera has a stupid delay so her face is kinda funny, but still cute!

It pretty much touches the floor since she is soooo little! (She is STILL only 16 pounds at 14 months old=) she is NEVER going to be able to face forward in the car!!!! =(

So, a couple weeks ago, Kiersi had diarrhea for EVER, so I finally took her to her pediatrician and he wanted to have some tests done (since she was still only that huge 16 pounds and not gaining ANYTHING), so I had to take her to primary childrens to have some blood taken and to have a stool sample tests. Lets just say the stool sample was NOT fun, her pediatrician told me to put the clear plastic wrap in her diaper to catch it, well if you have ever done this, its tough and went ALL over the place, but I did get enough! =) She was not so sure about the nurse and the needle but was pretty good, her blood was coming out SOOO SLOW which made it more hard! So, this is the "prize" she got for being a good sport! she LOVES this ducky!!

But, thankfully the tests came back negative and she is ALL better! which I am glad about! better sleep!! =)

Her new word is "ouie" (is that how it is spelled???) but surprisingly she kept the purple bandage on, she would just point to it and say ouie!

Loving her new little, ok, not so little duck!

Still being a little sad after being poked with a needle!! Thank goodness for the duck! =)

EASTER!!!

2009-04-16T12:31:00.000-07:00

Easter Sunday at Olsons house on Easter! Since it was warm Devins little sisters took Kiersi outside, she LOVED this wagon and thought she was big enough to pull it! =)

Our neighbors joined us for dinner, this is their boy, and yes, he is 3 month YOUNGER than Kiersi ;)

This is their girl, her and Kiersi loved jumping and obviously crashing!

Look at this crash, sooo funny!!!

And, look at the air she has, she has always loved to jump and on a trampoline its even better!

Kiersi in her Easter dress, she is so stinkin cute!!!

full lenght shot, I guess her fingers were amusing=)

Now... the egg hunts! I had my sisters 4 kids with me as well so we did 3 hunts on Saturday! Kiersi didn't quite know what was up but loved getting candy!

She would put some eggs in her basket, but most of the time she just wanted to hold them!

she just wanted to open and eat the candy so I helped her:)

Boring

2009-04-06T16:36:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I know I have not done anything for like 3 weeks now! Last weekend I had clogging competition in St. George and this week I have 2 of my sisters kids for a whole week! So.... my life hs been busy but kinda boring so I have not really taken any pictures!
I loved conference weekend, I love to just be home with Devin and Kiersi and watch it on TV and then to spend a little time with both families, so much fun!
Next week with Easter I'm sure I will have a lot of pictures, but for now life is boring =)

bargain shopper=)

2009-03-15T10:07:00.000-07:00

OK, so my neighbor Erin told me this deal on Huggies diapers. Walgreens had their diapers on sale for $10 a pack and if you spent $25 you got $10 back so...... they worked out to be $6.67 a pack, AND coupons.com had a $5 and $3 off coupons for Huggies diapers, well nonetheless, I bought 14 packs of diapers yesterday the most expensive pack being $3.67 a pack!!! most of them are size two (yes, Kiersi still wears size 2=) and they came to $1.67. I bought a couple size 3 and a couple size 4, but total I think I spent about $40 on 14 packs of diapers!=) I was pretty proud of my self! ( I had to buy one big box of 76 diapers because they ran out so they just substituted one big box instead of 2 smaller packs) I got them all at Walmart and just priced matched cause they let me use as many coupons as I wanted! I am set for a LONG time:)

KIERSI IS ONE!!!!!

2009-03-02T11:10:00.000-08:00

Kiersi waiting for everyone to come for cake and icecream, isn't her hair SO cute! I can finally get it up!! Also, I took Kiersi for her one year check up and at one year she is only 16 pounds! not even on the charts yet! she is just so tiny, her height is 28 inches so only about the 25%, we've got while until she can sit forward in the car thats fo sure=)

Opening presents! Kiersi LOVES ripping paper!

Giving a hug to the teddy bear Great grandma and grandpa Taylor gaver her!

Grandma and Grandpa gave her some of her FAVORITE mints, she always goes into their kitchen and signs "more" at their cubbard cause she knows the mints are in there, she is SMART!!

Loving everyone giving her attention!

This is my neice D'Laina and her son, Ethan. It is Ethan's birthday in a couple of days so D'Laina brought cake and icecream for him too! He doesn't like cameras and I guess Kiersi likes to close her eyes for pictures=)

She wasn't quite sure about eating her cake, she just kept poking at it until I picked it up and gaeve her a bite!

Blowing out the candle! well... I did!=)

Kiersi and her cake!

OK, so I'm no Betty Crocker, and I learned lessons and if I made it again it would look WAY Betty Crockerish!=) but, it did turn out cute!!

Birthday decorations!

We had probably 40-50 people in my little house for Kiersi's little party last night, it was CRAZY and HECTIC, but I am so thankful for mine and Devin's family who love and support me and my family! Thank you everyone that came and helped us celebrate Kiersi's first birthday!!!! It was awesome!

Preschool and well.........

2009-02-14T12:56:00.001-08:00

So, I was showering and I got out to find Kiersi well....playing with my bra! She has this thing lately with putting stuff behind her head, and I guess she got ahold of my bra and wrapped it around her=) I thought about not putting it up, but it was so funny I just had to;) So this one itsaround her waist.

This one she is putting the strap on her arm like a purse(this is her other new thing, she needs to get a purse for her b-day I guess=)

She looked at me like uh-oh!! But when I got the camera she was ok!

I've started teaching preschool again!! I just have 5 kidsright now and Kiersi thinks she is so big and when it is snack time she has to sit at the table and have snacks with the kids! She looks so little compaired to them!!

All of the kids!! They are cute! I have 4 boys and one little girl!! She just bats her eyes and they do what ever she wants, smart little thing!!

favorite sleeping position!

2009-02-14T12:44:00.000-08:00

I went to check on Kiersi the other morning and this is what I saw=) First, she is definately a belly sleeper, but lately she tucks her knees under her! I thought it was so funny I had to take some pictures before she moved and woke up! Also, this blanket is her comfort!! If we do not have this blanket we are doomed!! Santa actually brought her another one so when one is in the washer she still has one!=) Thank goodness though, its a life saver!

on the stairs!

2009-02-14T12:11:00.000-08:00

Kiersi lately LOVES sitting on the stairs. I think it is because her feet can reach and she feels so old! Today Devin was showering and I was cooking lunch and I just heard her screaming so I went and looked and this is what I saw. By the time I got the camera she wasn't as loud as before, but still loud=) We just got home from Devins basketball game(yes, he won) and she LOVES playing with the basketball!! My camera kinda stopped so the second video is just a continuation from the first!

dancin queen

2009-01-21T11:49:00.000-08:00

This is an attempt to get Kiersi to dance with a camera on her. She never does as well when I have the camera on her=) She usually gets her feet off of the ground when she is "dancing" The other day she was at my sisters house and she was amazed that she jumps and actually gets her feet off the ground like that!=) I know its sideways, but I can't turn it!!

4 YEARS!

2009-01-21T11:39:00.000-08:00

So, today is my 4 year anniversary! I cannot believe its been that long and at the same time I feel like I've been with Devin forever=) I am pretty lucky to have an amazing husband that works hard and to have a beautiful daughter! We are going to do something this weekend, but tonight we have to watch the season premier of our Lost show. I know, so romantic, but I teach until 7 so not much else to do, besides, its the 5th season and the 4th season ended with so many questions!=) Anywho, I am a lucky girl who has an awesome husband that loves her and works so hard for his family! (this picture is a little over a year old, but I figured this post needed a picture of me and Devin and thats one I found=)

SANTA!!

2008-12-23T12:13:00.000-08:00

Santa came to the Olson Christmas party, Kiersi didn't like him much so this is the only picture I got!:) Lately she does not like men with facial hair, she screams big time when a man with facial hair comes into view!!

2008-12-23T12:07:00.000-08:00

ALL THESE PICTURES ARE IN THE BELAGIO, THEY HAD AN AMAZING CHRISTMAS DISPLAY!!

A Day at the Races!

2008-12-23T12:02:00.000-08:00

We went to this race car place, probably one of the funner things we did in Vegas! I must say, I was pretty fast in this red car!!

But....... devin was faster!=)

In one of the Hotels, we went into so many I really don't remember which on these are in!

Big Piano in Vegas

2008-12-23T11:56:00.000-08:00

This is that huge piano I have always wanted to see! Kiersi was not heavy enough to make it play, I had to make her "dance" on it for it to light up and make noise=)

Kiersi loved that when she moved it made noise!!

This is a mini version, I wish I would have bought it=( but it was just a little much money for me!

VEGAS!!

2008-12-23T11:46:00.000-08:00

This is at the M&M Factory! Waching the little movie about the M's on the M&M's=)
As you can see Kiersi wasn't so sure about the glasses at first!

2008-10-14T12:20:00.000-07:00

Ths tiger was huge!! he kept pacing back and forth by that fence, maybe he wanted to eat us, who knows!?=)
Look how huge he is!!
she is the cutest ever!!
We had to take a train ride, she had just barely fallen asleep and I had to wake her up to get on, she was super super tired, she hadn't taken nap all day!!

THE DAY AT THE ZOO

2008-10-14T12:15:00.000-07:00

We went to the zoo a bit ago and it was sooo much fun! Kiersi just sat in her stroller the whole time and didn't even fuss, mainly becasue we were outside and she loves being outside!

2008-09-22T11:36:00.000-07:00

Kiersi and her daddy taking a nap. Aren't they they the cutest ever!

Spoiled

2008-09-22T11:33:00.001-07:00

This is our pride and joy! These sunglasses were 99 cents and I couldn't pass them up! she does look quite cute in them if I must say so myself!

I'm giving in!

2008-09-22T11:29:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I am giving this blog stuff a shot, it may not be the best, but we'll see how it turns out! I will try to put new stuff as often a I can, but we are kinda boring so that might be hard=)
