Just some things about Oliver!

This is a post just about Ollie an what's he is interested right now!

Oliver still sucks on his fingers and used mommies hair as his security blanket.

He has crazy seperation anxiety

He loves playing with brooms and tries to help mom and dad clean but usually makes things messier than before, we still think is stinking cute!

He loves Daniel the tiger and has a special dance he does when it turns on

He can sign more and communicate what he wants really well in other ways

He loves to dance and clap

He can run now

He says yay and claps when he's excited!

He loves the outside and meeting other kids

His favorite foods are pasta pizza and potato soup

He is generally a happy and fun boy! We live him so much!

Saint Patrick's Day!

Happy Saint Patricks Day! This is a holiday I usually only celabrate by wearing green but for some reason today I was feeling festive and we did all sorts of fun things!

Today started with my friend Sarah making us green pancakes after we worked out, that were awesome!

Then after oliver took a nap and ate we did a craft and it was so fun! 

And had a snack of Lucky charms!

And then I made sugar cookies! I couldn't find a shamrock cookie cutter so I made these by using a heart cookie cutter and a knife!

Oliver preferred eating the frosting to decorating the cookies but finished anyway!

Here are the rest of the cookies that we will give to some friends tonight when they come over for some potato soup! Yum!

New Years

So Amy and I went to the city for New Year's Eve yesterday and it was really fun, we ended up leaving early but we ate lot of yummy foods and saw the New Year's ball! Very cool!

Get Connected

So I volunteered to work Get Connected only about two weeks ago and somehow I was still able to help. It was a lot of fun helping the new freshman and meeting a LOT of really awesome people. I got people registered, helped people find there way around campus, and ushered a lot of events. The most fun though was helping with i-night, a big campus party/carnival, and then getting to play for free when I wasn't working! So much fun!


This is my partner Kyle, he was super nice and it was great working with him!
This is my friend Ammon, hes the one who remined me about Get Connected and got me involved.
This was fun, you were attached to a bungee cord and you were supposed to get as far as you can and get further then the other person.
This is the rock wall that I failed at climbing.
This is karaoke, it was so much fun!

A Touch of Christmas

I just thought I would share a picture of our awesome tree this year and our fire place :)

Why Not

So I have decided to start a 365 blog. I don't think that I will succeed at it, but hey whats life without trying! So if anyone is interested I will start blogging on January 1st until who knows how long, but hopefully everyday through the year! This doesn't mean I'm going to stop posting in this blog but it does mean there will probobly be some repeats. So wish me luck!

Alumni concert

Every year Columbia High School invites the alumni to come to the Christmas concert and sing the Hallelujah Chorus with the Chamber singers. It was super fun going back to my high school and seeing my amazing friends and realizing that nothing has really changed since we last saw each other.


My friend Alan made these two pictures separately and we thought it was funny how similar they are:)
