Rain...

We have had lots of rain with the coming of spring...Sylvie thought it was pretty fun to be out in the rain this afternoon. :)

a few more...


If you can't tell, I like umbrellas...I decided to post the rest of my pictures from the last few days. :)

Guess What Happened Today...

Eli drove home from Luck, after getting his permit...so watch out!!! actually I hear that it was one of the most relaxing first drives home from the DMV offices that Mom has had...other than Aaron of course(she has had 6 now...). :)

Congratulations Eli!!

Building A Bird Feeder...

With the assistance of Joel, Asher and Tovala are building a new bird feeder for all of the birds that are flying into town for the summer.

Asher, with his goofy grin, thinks that he will take care of all the hammering that needs to be done...I am sure he will help Joel do a wonderful job!


"That sun is too bright", says Lala.

This afternoon we took Grandma Polly out for lunch for her birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma!!! We love you! Unfortunately, I did not do a very good job taking pictures and did not get a picture of Grandma. :(

Cousins...

more cousins...

little Sylvie... who is growing too fast!!! She loves to sit up and is growing at least one new tooth. She loves to be talked to and likes her big pink teddy bear from the Rubles.

Joel & I just got back from a great short trip to Florida.















We spent a day at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola














We had a lot of cool windy weather.














We spent a day with the Christopher's in Alabama.
(Thanks for the hospitality!)

6 feet 4 inches of Sweet Rolls...

Nathan, Abram, Aaron, and Joel, I think we might have a hard time eating all of this without you... four brothers is a lot of brothers to have gone for this long. We miss you all!

P.S. Joel and Nathan you better be taking some really good pictures...I am missing the camera. :)

Dad's 3rd Post Asher- Puddles

It's Melting....

Seth and Behn said they were giving Noah a white-wash...I think they each had a pretty good amount of snow in their faces.

Tovala, Asher and Behn managed to get very wet, while splashing through the puddles!

Asher thought is was a lot of fun... until he fell down in the cold water!

A very smiley Tovala, who is happy to have some warmer days.

If Eli would have taken the picture just a second later this would be a picture of me covered in snow...

I like this one...Behn is looking alot like Seth

My apologies to anyone who has looked for Olmstead family updates recently. I "sort of loaned" the camera to a friend for the week unintentionally.
Here is a fun photo from last week...right before I "loaned" the camera. :)

We were going to take a hike in the park...but, the snow looked like such fun and we ended up getting distracted. How do you like our fancy snow man? Oh! Excuse me, it was supposed to be a snowgirl. (Notice her lovely hair)
