So, it’s official we have a sign on our front lawn and are trying to sell our house. We are planning to move to Cache Valley, Utah. I hope and pray this goes well. James made the poster I think it’s great. We put the sign up on Saturday and we also had a garage sale and ended up showing the house 8 times. Hopefully something comes of it.

This is how Hannah has decieded to take up skating in the kitchen. I thought this was very cleaver. These are her skates.
Then she “put them on”.
Then she skates around the kitchen she uses both her toy brooms one is the stick the other is the ball or puck or whatever. She says “I score mom now you do it”.
That is Hannah’s new fun thing to do.

So, this is the year Team Olson is planning multiple camping trips. The problem we have little or no family camping equipment. The solution buy a family tent. So we went looking in stores and read online reviews. Ultimately we made a choice and found it online at 40% off the retail price in a store (shipping included). I received a phone call within an hour of my purchase to verify my address etc. The item was shipped then next morning. All I have to do is get the mail.
So what did we buy -
It came down to the top two picks the Columbia cougar flats II 15 x 10
or the Eureka Blue Mesa 16 x 10
After reading a lot of reviews we think the Blue Mesa will stand up better to the wind. It has two dividers and thus can be one/two/ or three rooms. It has a center hight of 6′ 2″ and comes with a gear loft. I guess we will have to try it out before we know if we made the right choice. But I do know I much prefer the selection of shopping online. I guess I was surprised how much prices can very.

Well, I guess the goofy won’t last long as another tooth has come through. Top right. Good Job Emmy.

So, Emily has a new tooth poking through today. The funny thing is that she is still missing the two front teeth on top. So unless another tooth comes rather quickly she will look goofy. (more than she already does). When it is through more I will attempt another photo. For now all is well in Raymond.

So, one of the local dentist is down sizing and moving from our ward. They are building a smaller house in Raymond. They had a free garage sale this weekend. Austin and Hannah equally enjoy using the keyboard. 
Also the love seat and chair. James has already claimed this chair for his own. Now all he needs is an office to put it in. Until then it sits for all to use in the living room.
That’s the most exciting stuff. We also acquired a few board games, books, drinking glasses and wheat. That’s all I can think of at the moment though there is more. Living in Raymond has been very good to us.

SO, Hannah has a new kite and all is well.
Except the wind was not consistent enough or our location was bad (the wind was blocked too much by the school.)
Emily was there too…

Okay, so after the lame amount of updated photo’s on our blog and the amount I actually post one might wonder why we bother having a camera. But I did find a couple of shots of Hannah playing in the mud. Though these shots hardly do justice to the havoc she usually wreaks on her clothes.

So, the snow is… or mostly has melted away leaving lots of fun mud puddles. Hannah loves to go for walks and run through or fall in the puddles. She can go for hours and always comes home cold and wet. Then she enjoys a bubble bath. Emily always sleeps through these adventures she is cozy with blankets in the stroller and never stays awake long. By the time we get home we always have a wonderful collection of pine cones, rocks, and twigs in the bottom of the stroller. Hannah loves MUD. If she is riding in the stroller and we pass some She says “Oh mud! Mom I love Mud. I walk in mud mom, Oh please, oh please, oh please.” I rarely remember to take the camera on such outings. But here are a few updated shots anyway. Emily has almost three full teeth.
