I BELIEVE....

Santa brought way to much this year. We all had a great day. I got the new camera that I asked for, Mason was a little disappointed when he didn't get a bear tag but we told him that Santa thought he was still to young, Jaci loved her art project and won't set her babies down, we also got the new Guitar Hero with the whole band so that has been very fun. Mason has even learned to play the guitar and Jaci sings. Bowen showed us all that he found his thumb. We haven't had a thumb sucker yet. It's really cute but I am not sure how to take it away when it's not cute anymore! Here we are with Gary and Lisa christmas morning.

I'm Back!!

YEA!!I finally got my computer working again. It's amazing how lost you feel with out it. Now all I need is for Santa to bring me a new camara and I can become a blogger again. We are all ready for christmas and are very excited. Hope everyone has a great christmas!

fun with the Averetts:)

We went to Mcdonalds with the Averetts to have dinner and let the kids play on their new playground.(the one in eastbay) It was pretty fun the kids had a blast as you can tell. Then we went to the Festival of Light in SF.
Mason and Treyvan checkin out the light

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Bowen 3 months, 3 weeks & 3 days old!

Bowen is starting to hold his bottle.
I have mixed feelings about this.... It is nice when you don't have to do
everything for him but it makes me sad that he is growing up so fast. Since
he is our GRAND FINALE i really wouldn't mind him staying small longer!



Check out that double chin! I really don't think the weight thing is a issue anymore. I take him to the Dr. next Monday so we'll keep our finger crossed that he can go off the meds. Today was the first time Bo fit into his shoes. Camo of course!!

Can you tell who I am?

Mason & Jaci love to play in the leaves at grandma Rae Ann's! Looks like they had lots of fun.

Amy and Mike got a puppy today. Her name is Zoey and she loves giving Bowen kisses! He didn't know what to think.
Jaci would not put her down. She followed Zoey all over and had to show her off to all the neighbor kids.
Mason is very excited to have his picture taken.

Jaci, Nana, Amy, Rae Ann and Mason all went on a
hay ride to find our pumpkins.
Amy thought they tasted pretty good!!

We had a lot of fun carving pumpkins this year.

Mason and Jaci went to Gardeners Village with Rae Ann and Nana to see the witches. Looks like they had a great time!

Here is Bowen in his cute tux. He was blessed by Blake on Sunday. Bowen is doing well. He is 8 lbs. 14 oz. now and 23 1/2 inches long. He is in the 75% for his height and only the 4% for his weight. so I think we will have a tall and skinny guy for a while. He is really starting to get a personality he is smiling a lot more and seems to be very happy.

Bowen is starting to smile now. He is 6 weeks old.
I can't believe how fast it has gone by.

I would like to thank all of you for your prayers and fasting for this little guy. I took Bowen to the Dr. last Friday and he had gained 9oz. in one week. which is more than he had gained his whole life. The Dr. called it a miracle. He said that this was more improvement than he could have ever expected out of him. We are keeping him on the medication to strengthen his stomach but hopefully soon we can take him off of that.

I wanted to give an update on Bowen. For those that don't know he has had a hard time growing. Bo is 6 weeks today and as of last week had only gained 3 oz. so he is 3 pounds under what he should have gained. We went to the hospital on Monday and they did an upper GI test. He had to fast for 6 hours( this was the worst part... poor guy!) then they had him drink some dye and we laid him under the x-ray machine and watched it go into his stomache. The test came back normal they said just a little reflex but nothing that would cause this weight loss. I don't really know wheather that was good news or not I just want the problem found soon. They did start him on 2 different meds to help his tummy so hopefully they will do their job and he will catch up!! We go to the ped. tomorrow so I will give another up date after I hear more.

Mason's first day of kindergarten. He is going to Riverview elementary, His teacher is Mrs. Barnet. Mason was so excited to go but he wont tell us what he did, he says his favorite thing was recess. surprise! surprise! today was also Blakes 26th birthday we went to brickoven to celebrate with all the family.

This is Bowen's first time camping in the trailer. He was 2 weeks old here. Mason and Jaci had lots of fun on the bow hunt with Blake. They didn't get a buck this trip but we still have a few weeks left.

Bowen Gary was born on July 31st. He weighted 7 pounds and was 20 inches long.

Olsen Family Reunion 2008

Our Reunion is at Joes Valley. Our fishing pics are taken at Potter's pond. It was so beautiful up there but tons of Mosquitoes. Mason caught 3 fish all by himself.

It's official I am a blogger now!

I decided that I wanted to start a blog before our new arrival is here so everyone can see him.
