A day in the life

I'm sure you have been wondering, "Just what does Olson do all day?" Well, here is a very small glimpse into a typical day according to Olson.



Never a dull moment. The boy would spend every minute outside if we let him!

Fun at Marbles!

We have been having wonderful spring weather in Raleigh, so Olson has gotten to spend a lot of time at various parks around town lately. Today, however, was a bit overcast and wet from the storm last night, so we took advantage of a fun museum downtown! We were only there an hour, but Olson made his way around to many of the activity stations!
A little work in the garden

A little grocery shopping

Some fun with trains

I really liked the trains!
Mommy's favorite currency


Lots of fun with the cars!

O loved to watch them go!

Last stop...some of our own March madness

Graduating to a higher hoop

The highest of them all!
Where did it go?

Happy Leap Day!

Leap Day has always been special to me, as it is my Grandpa Carson's birthday! Yes, Joseph Carson, the man we named Olson after. I always wondered how Grandpa felt celebrating his birthday on a day that wasn't really his birthday most years. Of course, as a child that was just incomprehensible! My favorite Leap Day birthday of Grandpa's was the year we both turned 21. Kind of fun. Anyway, here is a picture of sweet Olson this morning, the day of his 16 month birthday, Leap Day!

Hiking with Dad

Olson and Dad had a fun adventure today! They joined a couple of other dads and their sons for a hike through Umstead State Park. Both Daddy and Olson loved it!
Enjoying the scenery

Exploring during a snack break

After a much needed nap, Olson had a snack on the couch, with a certain beagle begging at his feet!
Pleeeeeease Olson?

First chocolate!

Olson had his first Hershey's kiss today. I think he's hooked. After finishing it, he immediately went to the table to try to get more, then cried when he couldn't reach the tray!

mmmm, sweet deliciousness

His look when it was all gone. I think he's wondering why he hadn't had one before now.
Don't get your hopes up on having another one anytime soon, buddy.
