Hoppy Easter 2010

Bath time with the little monkey!

Playing and giggling with Daddy!

Anticipating "hiding" in the basket....

Peek-a-boo...who needs toys when you have simple household items?! So I didn't get any still pictures this Easter but we did get video. So I will do my best to post the video as soon as I can. :) We spent the day with the Mears side in Oakdale at my cousin's house and then went to the Olson side for dinner. It was a great Holiday with great weather. I thought I would post some recent pictures we took during bath time...he loves baths!! Enjoy!

Cousin Katie's 5th Birthday at the Hotel/Water Park

So I have been very bad at keeping up with the blog so I thought I better try and catch up on a few things. Robbie continues to keep Kent and I VERY busy. He's starting to pull himself up on all kinds of furniture and moving constantly. He loves doing the army crawl because he can get to what he wants much faster. We spend the 20th March with Kent's sister and her family. Her daughter Katie celebrated her 5th birthday at the Holiday Inn in Lakeville. They have a great little water park and fabulous Restaurant attached. It was a great weekend, thanks again Linda and Jeff for inviting us!! Here are some of the pictures of the fun weekend! Sophie, Linda and Katie (the birthday girl!)

Robbie's first night in a hotel...he actually slept really well because it was so dark!

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! Robbie will be 7 months old this weekend and he celebrated his first Thanksgiving a few days ago. We went over to Kent's Brother and Sister-in-law's house. They had some great food after Grandpa Glen gave a very touching and emotional blessing. We have many things to be thankful for. Especially being blessed with such a giving and loving family! We are so glad Grandma and Grandpa Olson were able to share in another Thanksgiving. We are thankful that Grandpa Mears is doing well. Although we didn't get to see the Mears side for this Holiday I did get a chance to talk with everyone. I wasn't able to get a hold of Aunt Sara but did leave a message with her daughter to wish her a very Happy Thanksgiving and let her know how lucky we are that she is recovering well from her Stroke a few weeks ago! Keep up the hard work Aunt Sara...all that Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy will have you home soon! We love you!
Here are a few pictures we took before the festivities. He is growing so quickly and changing so much. He is so much fun! He has 4 teeth in already(2 top and 2 bottom) with another on the way. He is sitting up now (with support) and he is rolling like crazy. He REALLY wants to start scooting or crawling. We are thinking it will happen any day now! Enjoy the pictures.

Starting to wonder what I am doing.....but keeping his composure!

"Mom...come on! Let's go already!"

Look at the frustration on his face....I LOVE THIS ONE!

"Are you done yet?"

We thought it would be a good idea to start wearing a winter hat since we've just started to get a bit more seasonal weather....I got this one from a former co-worker of mine....LOVE IT CINDY, THANKS! Not so sure if our little man likes it as much!

We were having fun with the camera. This was when he turned 6 months old.

Here's another fun shot. So tender. Daddy and his boy...

Happy 1st Halloween Robbie.... 6 months old!

It's been awhile since we have posted any pictures. We finally have something to post...Halloween! Robbie dressed up as an 18 pound cow! :) We dressed him up, and put him in a pile of leaves with our GINORMOUS pumpkin. We ended up carving our pictures and they turned out great. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend. We loved seeing everyone in St. Peter. Hopefully with all the pictures, it was a memorable 1st Halloween for Robbie. Enjoy!

"You can eat these? mmmm"

"Ok mom, no more pictures!!"

All pumpkins carved on the step at Dad's. Do you like our huge pumpkin? It got a lot of laughs Halloween night!

"Um....what's going on Mom??"

HE did NOT like the idea of getting a picture in the BIG pumpkin. Oh well....we tried...sorry Bud!

Apple Orchard October 4, 2009

Although it wasn't the best weather, we decided to head to the apple orchard and pick some apples. I'm looking forward to the smell of apple pie on this chilly fall day. As he gets older, I know he'll love to go pick apples and pumpkins every fall like we do! Here are some of the pictures, enjoy!

The next few pictures are from one of the last few warm days of September. Thank you Auntie Libby for the adorable shirt!
