For mature eyes only!!!!!

The other day I was chatting with my mom and she was telling me about a new "Gabrielism" to add to my list of funny things kids say. My nephew, Gabe, has always got something to say that leaves us all in stitches.

The other night he was in the bath tub and called out for his mom. When she entered the bathroom he told her he had somthing serious to ask her. Now just imagine how you would react if your 4-year-old repeated this to you......."When are these BEANS going to change to BALLS?" I can just picture that cute little blonde-hair, blue-eyed, kid saying it. This one will be added to the classics!

Thanks Gabers for the laugh!

Hey Ashlee....bring your flip flops to OH!!!

As if "springing forward" this weekend isn't bad enough. We had an absolutely beautiful day on Monday and then from Tuesday forward it just progressively got worse. How do you go from riding your bike around all day with a hoodie on to this in less than 5 days????

It started snowing yesterday (Friday) somewhere in the early morning hours and really has not let up yet (it is now Saturday 5:00 pm) and is supposed to keep going until 4:00 am tomorrow. The national weather service was predicting between12 and 18 inches of snow this weekend.....I would say we are definately on the upper end of those numbers and still going. What the world...we want to hunt Easter eggs in the park next weekend!

A Lesson Learned

So if you all have about 10 minutes to spare I highly recommend watching this video clip from a recent Oprah show. Maybe some of you have seen it already as it has been circulating around and downloaded hundreds of thousands of times......if you haven't, it is most definately worth your time.

Identity Crisis

ME: Hey cool glasses, what is your name?

HEBER: My name Heber.

ME: You look like Buzz Lightyear.

HEBER: To infinity and beyond!

ME: You make a good Buzz.

HEBER: NO!!!!! My name Heber.

ME: Heber what?

HEBER: Heber Spiderman

ME: Your name is Heber John Olson.

HEBER: No, Heber spiderman. ROAR !!!!

Shhhhh......Daddy's sleeping!

Thank goodness for the snow we got last week. Of course it is all gone now but it sure was a lifesaver when it fell. Ben started his month of nights a week ago yesterday and Heber has had a hard time adjusting to staying (relatively) quite while his daddy sleeps during the day. You can only go to McDonalds so many times.

Best Buddies

Heber and Caleb are not quite a month apart. Caleb was actually born when Heber was supposed to be. They are the best of friends at church and during playgroup.

Happy Chinese New Year

The Year of the Rat

Being born under this sign determines many talents, as well as other characteristics that may not be so commendable. Rats are very lively and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They can be calm and perceptive, but sometimes their brains can cause a mental restlessness, tempting them to take on too much, only to discover they are unable to meet their commitments. Rats are blessed with one of the best intellects going. Add to their intelligence a curiosity and a bright imagination, and they seem as sharp as a needle.The sign of the Rat is the first sign in the cycle giving Rat people exude great leadership qualities and are good at taking the lead. They don't mind a lot of responsibility and they demonstrate a strong presence that other people respect. For those with the Rat nature, status and monetary satisfaction are the greatest motivation.

Happy Chinese New Year Daren, Francias, and Whitney. We love you!
