At the Lake





















We had our annual Olson weekend at the lake in July instead of August this year, and it was a lot of fun. Asher had both grandmas there, Grandpa Steve, and Ryan, Candace and Tessa came too! We had fun playing and going on the boat... Asher LOVED swimming and jumping in the water, but he wasn't too fond of riding the "hot dog". (He sees the video on the computer and says "Asher no like hot dog" and you know he's talking about the raft because he loves to eat hot dogs).
Uncle Don is the real skiier in the family. Thanks Uncle Don for letting us use your condo and boat!

Even Grandpa Steve got in on the action....

Fireworks...

No, not on fourth of July... when we told Asher we were going to the Cardinals game last week he kept asking about fireworks. I realized that everytime they hit a home run or after they win, the fireworks go off. He was very frightened by them last time (which is why we didn't go anywhere on 4th of July) but he kept asking for them. Unfortunately the Cardinals didn't get many hits, let alone win the game... but we had fun anyway. It was just the girls this time (Grandma Mary, Holly, Aunt Chrissy, Alena and Mommy) plus Asher. Guess who we met there?? Babriel!!! (Thats how Asher pronouces it anyway!). It was his very first game... we thought we had pretty good seats, but Gabriel was like 12 rows from the field. By the time we got down there to take a picture the boys were antsy and didn't want to pose... imagine that! It was a great evening weather wise and we still had fun (even though we missed the daddies).

A Verse of Encouragement

I was surfing the internet during naptime today and came upon this verse:
"I am still confident in this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord, be strong and take heart, and wait on the Lord" Psalm 27:13-14
It resonated with me today... I hope it makes your heart smile too!
