Only the best news ever.. we are having a...




BOY!! Can you even believe it? We were pretty excited today to have an ultrasound today and it's 100% boy, so McKay will finally get a brother. Although this pregnancy was a total surprise, and I mean shocking life altering change, I think these last few months will be a little easier. It's hard to believe that last time Ryan and I went in for an ultrasound where the technician told us we were having a boy, it was June of 1995. So, this little baby will have a 14 year old brother (yes, McKay will be 14 next month.. *sigh*) and 3 little mommies who will get to have a real life boy doll baby to play with. Abby wanted a "dirl" but was pretty excited to tell people she is getting a brother. McKay was in Pete Davidson's science class today and asked him if he could call us (during class) to find out if it was a boy or not... and of course Pete let him. I just love Burlington. P.S. And I am sure our unborn child will appreciate his mother plastering his private nether regions all over the internet...

Abby's 2nd Day of School and Bus Ride




You have never seen a more excited child than Abby looking for the bus on the 2nd day of school. She was a little disappointed that the first day wasn't really the first day, the parents got to come and it was a meet and greet with pizza. So on the 2nd day, she was ready for that bus!!

First Day of School






Well, the first day of school was Wednesday, and poor Maddie set her alarm to 5:45am to put her new contacts in, and had such a tough time. Note to self: Don't get your child new contacts the day before school starts. She needs lots of practice, but she will get the hang of it.
McKay started 8th grade, Maddie 5th, Sydney 2nd, and Abby started Preschool at Burlington.

Collin and Carrie's Wedding











What a fun day! Ryan's youngest brother got married in the Salt Lake Temple on August 8th. We had the best day, and everyone looked so cute, we had to get lots of pictures!

Cedar Breaks Vacay











The first week of August, we got to go to Cedar Breaks, which is in Brian Head about 30 miles away from Cedar City. It was really fun to have our birthdays there, and got 4 wheeling and go see Footloose in St. George!

more reunion pics!!





Family Reunion






Here are just a few of the 100 pictures or more that we took at the big Olson Family Reunion that we got to host in Burlington in July. It was so much fun, and I wish I could post all the pictures.
