Our family...: August 2010

One Smart Daddy

Kris has been studying for another test these past few weeks and he took it this weekend. Of course he passed!!!!!! He's soooooo smart! When he called to tell me he passed I joked with him and said he was now Kristopher A. Olson, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP and Mia said Dada, EIEIO. So funny!

We love you very much Daddy!!!!!

Race Day

Kris and I, along with some friends, Jonathan and Jennifer, decided that we wanted to run in a 10K at the coast. Kris found it online in March so we all started training for it. It started at Morro Rock in Morro Bay and ended at the Cayucous Pier. The guys' goal was to finish in 50 minutes and the girls' goal was just to finish...but we gave ourselves 90 minutes.

Kris finished in 51 minutes

Jonathan finished in 56 minutes

Julie and Jennifer finished in 77 minutes! Blowing our 90 minute goal out of the water!!!!

We are so proud of ourselves that we finished and are looking forward to more races!!!

New Favorite Snack

Thanks to Grammie...Mia's new favorite snack is ice cream!!! She loves it. Asks for it all the time. As soon as she gets to Grammie's house she asks for it. If she gets in Grammie's car, she says "Bite, Ice Cream" and of course, Grammie and Papa can't resist. She wakes up from her nap and asks for ice cream (see pics below!!! that explains the crazy hair!)

We are currently trying to potty train and Mia is afraid of the toilet. Well Grammie told her she needs to go pee pee on the potty and Mia responds with "buy me ice cream?" Grammie told her if she went potty like a big girl she'd buy her an ice cream...didn't work...still afraid!!!!

Cousin Brady

Mia and Macie got a new cousin in May and the girls just love him. Auntie M brings Brady over to play with his cousins a couple times a week and Mia wants to hold him all the time. Brady doesn't always care for it tho!

The little mama...he's starting to cry but she's "shushing" him!

Little mama "shushing" me because Brady is sleeping!

Macie's First Cubs Game

Kris got Cubs vs. Dodgers tickets for his birthday for the July game at Dodger Stadium. We left Mia with Grammy & Papa and Macie got to go by herself with Mama and Dada! We had such a good time. She really enjoyed her time alone without her big sister to drown her out!!

She got tired!!!

Sleepy Girl!

When Mia was in the high chair she never fell asleep so I didn't have any of the classic shots from her. So I was so excited when Macie fell asleep in the high chair!!!

Visit with Grandpa & Grandma Olson

Our visit with Grandpa and Grandma Olson in June was so fun. Mia remembered them and wanted them to play with her constantly. She really enjoyed the undivided attention they gave her! Macie took a bit to adjust to Grandpa and Grandma, (she's quite the mama's girl), and once she did she even let Grandpa rock her to sleep!!

Sponge Rollers!

Mia's hair is starting to get really long so I thought it would hold sponge rollers. It held the rollers but not very well! The end result looked like a rat's nest and I didn't remember to get pictures before I combed it down but here are pictures with the rollers in!
