I am going to be doing a little working backwards here... these are photos of the 1st day of school and I wanted to post them because they are current. I will then go back in a day or so and catch you up on the happenings in the Olson clan over the summer.
My creative Mr. Wonderful took most of these photos which is why they are artistic and fun. I took the ones of the kids standing in front of the door. I did it because its what i do every year. I completely ignored the beautiful geraniums right next to me, that would have been a much more suitable background. When my husband tried to graciously point out that I was missing out on this most beautiful backdrop I of course snapped at him and said I need to do what I always do because its tradition. I'm kind like that. Well as you will see in a moment, he was right, as usual. One would think that after almost 11 years of marriage I would just concede to the fact that he is pretty much always right. But I can guarantee you that this will not happen anytime soon. I have to keep fighting for that one moment in our marriage when I might actually be right. Good thing he is stuck forever so I have lots of time to practice....
Enough about me, here are my offspring on their 1st day of school...
Yes... I left the all important door wide open...
Brand new cowboy boots... My boy is proud!
In true mommy fashion Bridger can't keep his mouth shut and is presently telling daddy what to do...
Don't know what this is... and yes it worries me a little... thank goodness for the plaid, the boots and the wranglers!
Camo is big this year...
Those beautiful curls? Lots o sweat and tears people! Lots o sweat and tears...
Notice how her smile is just a little pasted on? I think she is still mad over the curls. But in my defense she begged for days for those curls! It was not my idea, and believe me half way through I was truly regretting saying yes.
Bridge on the other hand still thinks I'm cool. I'm cherishing every moment cause I know his time is a comin...
Daddy was tickling Nat to get her to smile... he knows all the tricks...
Beautiful background huh?
Perfect for my beautiful girl!
Cause when she is not mad at you she is pure delight...
Bridgy... mommy and daddy r great! Sissy... mommy and daddy r soo lame!

Nat still thinks were lame... at least daddy is lame too...
There she is! We are at the beginning stages of only getting glimpses of this but man o man do I love that
girl! And when she truly grins it melts your world...
She's gettin good at silly as well...
