Alana wanted to try out sliding down the 'Fireman's pole'

Time to slide!

Tyler has to do everything his big sister does. She went up these steps so Tyler had to also. Monkey see monkey do!

First Day of School!

Alana was very excited about her first day of school! She couldn't sleep the night before. She had her back pack on all morning waiting for us to leave. Dave made it home just in time for us to take her to school. After we dropped her off Tyler was very confused. He got in his seat and kept pointing to Alana's seat saying "Oh No. Where's Nana?"

Our big boy!

Big day here at the Olson house! Tyler got his big boy bed! Our neighbor gave us this bed! So that was the "push" we (well I) needed to make the big move. We haven't painted his room yet, but will eventually.

Tyler helping making sure the bolt is tight.
Sweet dreams big boy!
We decided to put the crib in Alana's room for all of her dolls and stuffed animals. She was very excited about it. Thought it was "soooo cute!!"

joy ride

Alana decided that it would be all right to take her little brother for a spin. Of course they wanted to ride down the hill so I was stuck pushing them up it (while Alana held the petal down) so they could go "super duper fast" down the hill. Tyler was laughing just about the whole time. Pretty soon Alana is going to be too big for her 4-wheeler so we may need to pass it down to her little brother!

Thanks for the ride "nana"

4-wheeler

Alana got out her 4-wheeler yesterday and was riding around the yard. The battery hadn't been charged in a while so it was running a little slow. She decided she could get it up the hill faster by pushing it up. Then it would go pretty fast on the way down!

No pictures this week.

Well I haven't posted much this week. We've been having a great time enjoying the nice weather. The kids have been staying up way past bedtime since we have been going for late walks and then hanging out watching the fire flies dance around. Tyler has now become a pro at the slide. Before he would climb up the ladder and then want us to carry him down. Now he'll climb up the ladder and go down the slide by himself! Alana has been doing awesome on the swing. It took her a bit to get the hang of the 'pumping' thing but now she flies on it.
They still love drawing with the side walk chalk and blowing bubbles, though Tyler prefers to eat the bubble wand rather then blow the bubbles!
We have gone swimming a couple times in our neighbor's pool which Alana loves and unfortunately I think Tyler has taking after me with the 'water thing' He kept saying "No No No No" as he was in the water (life vest and all) with a death grip on my neck and his legs wrapped so tightly around my waist I could barely move. He was all smiles sitting on the step but don't get him out in the middle of the water. Daddy will have to work on that with him.
Alana has been coming up with stories like crazy (reminds me of what I was like growing up) the latest had to do with Tinkerbell meeting Pooh bear and him helping her find a house. First it was a book but she couldn't live there, then it was a jar but that wasn't right either. Then they found a perfect place in Piglet's house....a crib! We never know what she is going to come up with next. She even does different voices for the different characters! She will some day win an Oscar or and Emmy!
Tyler does his share of acting as well. He would 'sneak' in the room and jump up yelling "SURPRISE!" and when we do it back to him he says "oh!" and puts his hands up by his mouth acting shocked. These kids are crazy! They do keep us laughing though.

Well I shall end this now, I know reading isn't as much fun as looking at pictures. I hopefully will be taking some more soon to post. I hope everyone is well!

FOUR!

The kids like to join in with Dave when he plays golf. They grab whatever looks like a controller and pretends to hit with him. It is funny, they even have the shaking of the controller down. Apparently you have to shake it to get the ball to go a certain way...I don't know I don't play golf.
