Michigan or bust...and...is anyone there?

It's been a while...again...but, does anyone still read this blog? I'm just curious... If so, I don't want to disappoint and never post! I guess I'm just not that good at it...

We went to Michigan in July for the annual Olson family vaca at Josh's parents cottage. It was a great week, filled with boating, swimming, eating, skiing, eating, campfires, and more eating. Avery had a blast! Playing with her cousins...each day was a new adventure for her and she loved it! Had her first smore...painted rocks...she even went tubing! :)

Forgive me...LOTS O PICS!

Happy 4th of July!

Hmmm...do they look alike? I can't tell... ;)

Happy Fathers Day

Avery is blessed to have the most loving, caring, fun, silly, goofy, sweetest daddy in the world. And I'm pretty lucky to have the same man for my husband. God truly created Josh into the amazing man, husband and father that he is...and we love that man!

Josh celebrated Fathers Day with some golf in the morning, a big brunch waiting for him when he got home, an outing to buy bikes (yay!) and then a bike ride in the evening followed by dinner at his favorite place, Chipotle. Now, that's a good day...

the bike ride sure tuckered out Avery

and some pics of Daddy at his best...

Classic Avery

WAY overdue!

It has been waaay too long since our last post, and for that, I do apologize...especially to those who are checking for new pics of the Olson crew! I will do my best to do better. For now, here are some recent pics of Avery and her new best friends!

On a mission...

One of Avery's favorite things to do is empty drawers. Any drawer. With anything in it. And when she grabs something to take out of the drawer, she definitely throws it on the floor with authority! She is very proud of her ability to do that. And I just wish she knew how to put it all back! (Oh - and the pictures of her with her dresser combines 2 of her favorite things - the drawer thing and being naked, of course)

I didn't do it!
