Back from the Dead??

Well we really weren't dead just so stinkin' busy! I am sure everyone can relate! I decided to stop blogging basically because I got to the point that "something had to give"! Also because lets face it...I am just no where near perfect and every time I looked at all your (blogging world people) blogs, I was just too hard on myself! So honestly, I am not a great cook, I don't have any special talents, and I am not one of those people that accomplish something great everyday!! My house isn't clean all the time...actually, we don't even live in our house yet (yep, we are still with my parents). My kids aren't always well mannered or well dressed! Heck, most of the time all I wear are jeans and a t-shirt! But, I love my life and the craziness that comes along with it!
I started looking at friends and family blogs again last night and realized that I loved seeing and somewhat keeping in touch with people. I never realized how many of my family members really looked at our blog and liked to see pictures of the kids! And I must say I like bragging about my kids...who doesn't?!! So, it's back! I can't promise any great journal entries, or great entertainment, but for sure you can look forward to the crazy memories of the Olson household!
A little update- We sold our townhouse in September and have been living with my parents ever since! They have been so great to us and so patient with our house building process. Josh has been working his guts out trying to work a full time job, go to plumbing school, and work on our house. I don't know anyone that works as hard as him! We have had some great help from our parents trying to Finnish the dang thing and hope to move in within the next few months! Oh yes, I must mention my cabinets are in and I love them! Chy-if you read this thanks for recommending your brother, he has been great!
The holidays were great! They always are so busy and it seems as though the time just flies right on by! Trey and Tessa of course got spoiled by all grandparents, Santa, and mom and dad! Josh always does a great job and he didn't disappoint this year.
After Christmas we gained a new sister-in-law! Jake, Josh's brother, got married in Washington DC! Josh's parents treated us to an amazing trip for the wedding and then to NYC! We had so much fun, more than I could even describe! Trey and Tessa stayed home and were in great care between Kristy, Sue, and my mom and Lynn!
February just flew by...and now it's March! Hopefully we will start seeing some good weather so we can get out of the house more! One day last week it hit 40 so we rode bikes around the greenbelt and it was wonderful!
We are looking forward to April 4th to go to the Monster truck show at the Holt Arena! It will be the 3rd year that we have taken Trey and I am sure this will continue to be a yearly tradition! Daily he wants to know if it's time for the Monster Truck show...I don't know if he'll be able to wait 3 more weeks!
As soon as I figure it out I will have to post some slide shows of all our fun DC pictures! But for now I better go and make some dinner...tacos!:)
