Yeah right, it's actually been more of the other way around... But anyway, we finally whipped out our new tent and roasting sticks and decided to explore the great outdoors. We ended up having a really great time together, us and the pup. It was fun to sit outside and enjoy nature.... and watch Dallas try and eat every single stick at our site.... We truly loved just relaxing. And lets be honest, roasting hot dogs and s'mores, who wouldn't camp just for the food !</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666600;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Wtg6Yc2kC1eLgF3cRmsMn5IUVZ-zQOuOUVpbJmshde1rwX0m4PeHy4NbVYet2kifKgibP6l3LidrB6R8YwAOrz6OrMERCeXdSkQus7AFiFdSOeDoW6Sg3HuDqfIgf2oA1f99XCTYM44/s400/Screen+shot+2011-03-28+at+3.01.50+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589224573200646610" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi63Kly-LDX08ko-GHK8JvwSiWPqF8_qk0O-lC3NZzNH_V6w6a2CY3BdhAybEjT_zuL4zE53-F4bB9yml2IHbpHkKnMqdM3QLaGaU7vE36oAJrpCF8CpUR03iGiFlD-G7CmpGvsZxO7QY/s400/Screen+shot+2011-03-28+at+3.02.02+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589224586388469842" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666600;">Our lovely little bed, sheets and all!

Yeah, I get that feeling every time Summer starts turning to Fall. And maybe it's a bit early this year, but Dallas had a mini cold front that has caused me to go into 'Autumn mode!' So although the cold front has passed now and the temps are back up at ridiculous degrees... I can't fight this feeling any longer... my mind has officially transitioned into wanting to enjoy the Fall season's activities. And for some funny reason that means doing some crafts. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#996633;">I was recently down in Houston helping my mom paint her bedroom and all the sudden we were bustin out the glue guns and buying things to fulfill my craft craving. We turned her whole kitchen and dining room area into a disaster with all our junk, but we ended up creating some cute little decor items :)</span></span><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#996633;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC6600;">First we made a little pumpkin wreath... which my front door is now loving :) Super simple: twig wreath from Michaels, a few assorted mini pumpkins, made a bow out of some 'halloweeny' ribbon, lots of glue gunning, and wah-lah! Like I said, I hung mine on our apartment door, but this darling little thing could go inside your house too. Try it!</span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOHTPtZh2E0sGq1pR2W4VfIa5RgAthUy_4pv5DSci-NcAEJY8XHYQTSuvQT9k1Plnz0wLLepeOy-vQPyBBxk38m2jJMwspKS6xlyiEoNz6C1IBv-qGuNmYK2xRxSzvLhl7kFLC9pcWWyw/s200/IMG_3879.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519918051787872066" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " /></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#996633;">We also had a hay day with some candy corn around the house. We started with some glass hurricane candle holders, filled them 1/3 of the way full of candy corn, then stuck white candles down into the center. Sounds real simple, but we put them on my mom's mantle with some decorative autumn leaf garland and it looked really great. We also took some mini styrofoam balls and went to town glueing the candy corn all over them for a cute poky ball look on top of some candle holders. And of course, we snacked on them the whole time too :)</span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9PIKEMuJTC8MBqnlAu0nn-jOzfQ4gl6fuWBKr-1dm0KZ-P6PeaeqUPYevgsZeuEHmuV6b900Fg18Sa1J7SCDEXevWQVjBRs6ptAIS8bFDjlgB6hjNHVV6LFEZfmjbI9VHNtXa5iqUic/s1600/IMG_3872.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS9PIKEMuJTC8MBqnlAu0nn-jOzfQ4gl6fuWBKr-1dm0KZ-P6PeaeqUPYevgsZeuEHmuV6b900Fg18Sa1J7SCDEXevWQVjBRs6ptAIS8bFDjlgB6hjNHVV6LFEZfmjbI9VHNtXa5iqUic/s200/IMG_3872.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519919558424560850" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC6600;">Next onto some pumpkin decorating. We wanted to spice up your average orange pumpkin with a little glitz for a fun and fancy look. We used some glitter glue to draw the swirls all over the sides, then spiced it up a bit with some black rhinestones in and around the design. We also covered the stem with glitter as well as some autumn leaves that we glued on top. We finished it off with a bit of silver curling ribbon and its lookin oh so snazzy on my shelf now !</span></span></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5phShHmkIscIG0lLUdsOFzIV7JGfeECp-8h8Z5cf7wWhDgVGlKEEAdE8g9AhbDhm_OZ-xSisBPYv8Zx_eWXfbdsDE8lCFxzaLKDQjG0sy2DVJ-LElussyFkha4Asxhs0IMvuO9iaSP68/s200/IMG_3871.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519919570140417778" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtfSp0pljwVIjFvcpte2UXz5CyO5WkAba1Ptuovly2k8gqrCUt_D9wLXPKfuj3ptWO4A-zMT11IESpOyLJmUpq67qVvWRtafgit4AXOw9NQLe-W0ndjVV6-mCLYc78v4hof5srRTiJuU/s200/IMG_3869.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520121285361883042" style="float: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51); ">Now obviously this picture isn't a craft, but another fun thing to help get you into the Fall spirit is lighting some of you favorite holiday scented candles.

This definitely puts me in the mood for the season, and as we all know, Fall makes everything better! :)</span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5phShHmkIscIG0lLUdsOFzIV7JGfeECp-8h8Z5cf7wWhDgVGlKEEAdE8g9AhbDhm_OZ-xSisBPYv8Zx_eWXfbdsDE8lCFxzaLKDQjG0sy2DVJ-LElussyFkha4Asxhs0IMvuO9iaSP68/s1600/IMG_3871.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5phShHmkIscIG0lLUdsOFzIV7JGfeECp-8h8Z5cf7wWhDgVGlKEEAdE8g9AhbDhm_OZ-xSisBPYv8Zx_eWXfbdsDE8lCFxzaLKDQjG0sy2DVJ-LElussyFkha4Asxhs0IMvuO9iaSP68/s1600/IMG_3871.JPG"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5phShHmkIscIG0lLUdsOFzIV7JGfeECp-8h8Z5cf7wWhDgVGlKEEAdE8g9AhbDhm_OZ-xSisBPYv8Zx_eWXfbdsDE8lCFxzaLKDQjG0sy2DVJ-LElussyFkha4Asxhs0IMvuO9iaSP68/s1600/IMG_3871.JPG"></a></span><div><br /></div></div></div></div>S & S Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474881680115475noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133374768532059235.post-68317532911830974962010-09-06T16:18:00.000-07:002010-09-09T13:49:42.892-07:00LABOR DAY IN GLEN ROSE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu64jNkIv69rLKtdSywCwctOF4QajBU1jaY6o3L5EEgXXq6uhyphenhyphensONMNhbB261LuG0HqLPQy5j_4zvuiNJ_2ts8Sv2g2WiUDuEvVa1bQKarqKU8UJCyqjnVZ_q72YlyLnizoSMXD9ymSg/s1600/IMG_3866.JPG"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl89uLMpZlQUoGLgrUjSlSp1Aap0zy7YXVKdOrJh5_4rhmtWe7CX2wBI-CJVoXIDll4gzX5RigpbCljmb2Uvx6MrbmFka3HXsLu8sxhvaz3LsiwUXLNm03LRrupjQc_ddgNFQ0b3mmAzo/s1600/IMG_3801.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl89uLMpZlQUoGLgrUjSlSp1Aap0zy7YXVKdOrJh5_4rhmtWe7CX2wBI-CJVoXIDll4gzX5RigpbCljmb2Uvx6MrbmFka3HXsLu8sxhvaz3LsiwUXLNm03LRrupjQc_ddgNFQ0b3mmAzo/s320/IMG_3801.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513958664907630594" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Swede and I just got back from an exciting Labor Day weekend with the Moores. We thought it'd be fun to explore some new places here in Texas, so we decided to meet the fam halfway in the little historic town of Glen Rose. We started the trip off at Fossil Rim where we got to pet, feed, and see lots of fascinating safari animals. We had an awesome tour inside the facility and learned lots of neat tidbits about all the animals. The best part was getting to be so up close and personal to all the wildlife, such a cool experience!</span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyV7ihIyKDb0Gujhagvf4F92zOHIX5yy2luRadCbh7R6xZyT5wUfzLgapIWFPHLz15dZ_HryCCJo6wW-r5HusxrxUW-TxGrJah9y1WFaVGbG5h_Am5yl9Ugjf5tqPWv3xjnKTXPLKkfzQ/s1600/IMG_3800.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyV7ihIyKDb0Gujhagvf4F92zOHIX5yy2luRadCbh7R6xZyT5wUfzLgapIWFPHLz15dZ_HryCCJo6wW-r5HusxrxUW-TxGrJah9y1WFaVGbG5h_Am5yl9Ugjf5tqPWv3xjnKTXPLKkfzQ/s320/IMG_3800.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513958663354244162" style="text-align: right;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibhJoNc_ZTfCFBxKDNd5UvBzWlm0f50eljG0zzDwlN7aMkqRj4fIbA3H5dhvUYxZ3RTWBx0p5hpPTQdwjum-qPZN239Tc7IzUS92y84NlgkCMEs3nQsxYyau9itcxnJWJo97UUCFE1ovM/s1600/IMG_3797.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibhJoNc_ZTfCFBxKDNd5UvBzWlm0f50eljG0zzDwlN7aMkqRj4fIbA3H5dhvUYxZ3RTWBx0p5hpPTQdwjum-qPZN239Tc7IzUS92y84NlgkCMEs3nQsxYyau9itcxnJWJo97UUCFE1ovM/s320/IMG_3797.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513958651255955778" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><br /><div style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx7kquNRfshact99t4K0_WLne4sXexPdxwWJ9WgFrKEVxUSHt5LMolrl8r9I4mlLUnER8QIT5Y49fALuMiR6Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwfic_svSjkG738avF9kL7H5XBSQ7Xh-agGNybCI84qNW1sK8Dsz83JqWeZJSuZnVuG6QJ9g2HoZcZpCz05YA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Another great perk to living in Texas is getting to experience and taste some the very best BBQ.

We were lucky enough to find the Brazos River where we got to rent some tubes and float down in style. It only took us about an hour to float it, but it was long enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the riverbank and have some great laughs. Definitely a fun water adventure!</span></span></div></span></u></span></div></span></u></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;

We just spent the week in Utah visiting family and we couldn't have had a better time! Every time we come back here we never want to leave, it just feels so good to be home. While we were hangin out in Midway with all the Olsons, I had the chance to take some pics of all the grandkids. And boy are they cute! Here is a fun shot of Grandma Jone with all the little ones, this was a late mother's day gift... so great!

The beach is definitely still calling my name. We had so much fun building sand castles, boogie-boarding, and hanging out with the fam. We were there for 6 days and it just wasn't long enough... Anyway, we also had a chance to take some family photos with the beautiful background of the beach while we were there. It was a bit windy, but I think we got some great pics :) Enjoy!</div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgls6NYze0ZGPww7YKpjfbBLUW6_c7sUuxfdKcOI0NeDiH9I6dYomkBbfttfC7SPAsD3-NgfdUgdjDtp_vpfixIbJ4X-I5aqxyK3TkgVywSL1EQ4jC_a70sRB8ZCRyAGZzXzsUv-7m7pSU/s320/2ndfamily.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456000507712050322" style="display: block;

And I recently had a chance to play some with a friend of mine that just had a baby boy. I can tell you that it is much harder than it looks! From baby poop and throw up to creating good lighting and positioning, this ended up being a bigger challenge than I thought. However, it really was neat to experiment and have some fun with my friend and her adorable little baby. I thought I'd share my first little experience taking some maternity and newborn shots... enjoy :)<div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtxWyUodpf7nzhcLtQ2WiPmxQmfF3rl-h733iQwTmbUO7HtBOPX-rXTZQbx444GqST-HEorkTq7QJbCSknSe_szrM5jjOk9M7_gicUwxy-FRcXOWYxwWPzgyxufOQgkd0a66Bi391DRWU/s1600/IMG_4177.bw.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtxWyUodpf7nzhcLtQ2WiPmxQmfF3rl-h733iQwTmbUO7HtBOPX-rXTZQbx444GqST-HEorkTq7QJbCSknSe_szrM5jjOk9M7_gicUwxy-FRcXOWYxwWPzgyxufOQgkd0a66Bi391DRWU/s320/IMG_4177.bw.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455995092647428194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeOUty8iQ3FXo_G0TtSdDy4BGE2C7uHC4boh-MaFs9agp9IVdwQQVNkGvRrMwtbyWVJwzBEm8WP7XdsP7tPEVpt4KZ10kxZj2ub8b1qPp9LGXy6qAH9r9lg3bKW6MOo7_2vD7bybtf26M/s1600/IMG_4180.bw.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeOUty8iQ3FXo_G0TtSdDy4BGE2C7uHC4boh-MaFs9agp9IVdwQQVNkGvRrMwtbyWVJwzBEm8WP7XdsP7tPEVpt4KZ10kxZj2ub8b1qPp9LGXy6qAH9r9lg3bKW6MOo7_2vD7bybtf26M/s320/IMG_4180.bw.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455995059122905778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8j7KmP6bd4HWURjN-kz5omwDFsND7EA7ZZFKyVDBnPeTb7Kp8rGMjiGunQli9z782vfMn4u_gLcsYEAIiFww0CkRDr4FtEAggcXq-BEr8hfBpmuZ_lRDA-C7ET1yxHEv8VOKMxIo-xY/s1600/IMG_4170.bw.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8j7KmP6bd4HWURjN-kz5omwDFsND7EA7ZZFKyVDBnPeTb7Kp8rGMjiGunQli9z782vfMn4u_gLcsYEAIiFww0CkRDr4FtEAggcXq-BEr8hfBpmuZ_lRDA-C7ET1yxHEv8VOKMxIo-xY/s320/IMG_4170.bw.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455995015557144914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSpyRPFKl9KvDsGHVSB7Eztv8mTz3mGwMxtC5e4l7BkGHjV57gbO_CJ42VI7Zt-K7lKCs-lAuhd-c_-Xg6JNEMBiN2PJJZHQ1TfNVnUtsPrSfuvV8MuOi6yIhvBuQ9s4cR9FJ_M5o0pI/s1600/IMG_3807sepia.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfSpyRPFKl9KvDsGHVSB7Eztv8mTz3mGwMxtC5e4l7BkGHjV57gbO_CJ42VI7Zt-K7lKCs-lAuhd-c_-Xg6JNEMBiN2PJJZHQ1TfNVnUtsPrSfuvV8MuOi6yIhvBuQ9s4cR9FJ_M5o0pI/s320/IMG_3807sepia.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455995007383313986" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOjW7aqv02phvmput2neflYgGbLp7fjftRHOintd2J-kEiNazYRhJzCtp9h5FD7uhV3sQYhIagLw3z1Wid4shmbPaKaQA4AOOsD5uiv0rP9aPiimLNxJSugrXDNq_DiIj5hC7pKDqfCE/s1600/IMG_3788sepia.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOjW7aqv02phvmput2neflYgGbLp7fjftRHOintd2J-kEiNazYRhJzCtp9h5FD7uhV3sQYhIagLw3z1Wid4shmbPaKaQA4AOOsD5uiv0rP9aPiimLNxJSugrXDNq_DiIj5hC7pKDqfCE/s320/IMG_3788sepia.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455994994356530722" /></a></div>S & S Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474881680115475noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133374768532059235.post-36917554598036980062010-02-13T13:06:00.000-08:002010-02-13T15:55:12.042-08:007 INCHES<div style="text-align: center;">We woke up to 7 inches of snow the other day here in Dallas.... thought we were back in Logan!

WHITE. TINY. BARKS.Everyone say hello to little dallas! He is our fun new addition to the fam, and we are very much enjoying him. It is definitely fun having a pet to come home to who is excited to see you. The pup is super sweet and loves to fall asleep on your lap and lick your face whenever he gets a chance. Having the added responsibility has definitely been stressful at times, but he is such a little bundle of love that he makes it all worth it. Minus the initial peeing in the house, late night whining in the kennel, hyper activity in the mornings, and 24/7 supervision... he couldn't be better :) We hope you enjoy these short clips of him!<div><br /></div><div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw90zeYFaoElPkfUojaCgnE2y-IhZ20odiCEwWNqEmOrOpCgVqcYQDQIXDC8xE10xWV910iSsfWMT720G1tuw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyqJTiyrY-MxdwM4VXyOr1G7fb3ktdQGppC4mVQDQIiXGCAo8iMKOgjerRgaVqsN-ylhzTzHckEmrFc7f-pPw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxrqA_kn32ikvwT95l7itZvWqBp420x3NGrpupUd4Jswri1b3JbowFpkXds_aBjsOcXbeElt06J59rh30BtRA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>S & S Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474881680115475noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133374768532059235.post-47043816713754414472009-12-29T09:12:00.000-08:002009-12-29T09:27:14.161-08:00Marek and Piper<div style="text-align: center;">Swede and I were lucky enough to fly home to Utah and be with family for Christmas.

They really change so fast and it was fun getting to play and talk with them. I even got to take some fun pictures of Marek and Piper, aren't they darling?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANA9PjOUNveSN6g3tqzR2P9CbF4k_altfS6GyHsoskkcGry7Mm4Bz6EWwtto8GviSS4ub7mTX99GTnKRybvcdIU5e0ja2-u17Ep6Rw14ADOSUmJftyLfSyunU5W7g04LoxObUydrikEY/s1600-h/IMG_3369.jpg"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANA9PjOUNveSN6g3tqzR2P9CbF4k_altfS6GyHsoskkcGry7Mm4Bz6EWwtto8GviSS4ub7mTX99GTnKRybvcdIU5e0ja2-u17Ep6Rw14ADOSUmJftyLfSyunU5W7g04LoxObUydrikEY/s1600-h/IMG_3369.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANA9PjOUNveSN6g3tqzR2P9CbF4k_altfS6GyHsoskkcGry7Mm4Bz6EWwtto8GviSS4ub7mTX99GTnKRybvcdIU5e0ja2-u17Ep6Rw14ADOSUmJftyLfSyunU5W7g04LoxObUydrikEY/s400/IMG_3369.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420709698941079954" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Lgl4jw1NtZpI3CkFGCVeBg4B_52e4sHTOB_oGJZd-AFBoZgR-iZeEbmr-s6qJSUcOpIRFwNY0evtuzFMx3edDzfSB8hkATAm1uqfNCta1Ce6Nju61nvUEHyJCOL9JbV4bHwWO1v1Zg0/s1600-h/IMG_3461.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Lgl4jw1NtZpI3CkFGCVeBg4B_52e4sHTOB_oGJZd-AFBoZgR-iZeEbmr-s6qJSUcOpIRFwNY0evtuzFMx3edDzfSB8hkATAm1uqfNCta1Ce6Nju61nvUEHyJCOL9JbV4bHwWO1v1Zg0/s400/IMG_3461.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420710184001309474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a>Thanks to everyone we saw for making our Holidays so fun and memorable!

Kiana. She was in need of some senior pictures and I was very happy to oblige. Kiana definitely made taking her pictures easy, she's just so gorgeous that it wasn't even possible to take a bad shot. This shoot was especially fun because it took place at one of my favorite places in the world... Cascade Lake. Every year this is the spot where all my relatives come together for our big family reunion... so this place represents all the fun summers I've had of hanging out with my cousins, swimming and boating all day everyday in the lake, and just being together as a family. Plus, Grandma's house made it even more unique because of all of Grandpa's old sheds, burn barrels, and ditches.

Let me just say that friday night lights is a religion down here. Shayla's little sister, Briana, is in the high school marching band and their football team is ranked 3rd in state and is VERY good. When we showed up, we were surprised to find the traffic getting into the stadium was a nightmare. The stadium was sold out and it felt like a college football environment. We also couldn't get over the amazing half time show. Briana plays the flute and it was so fun to watch her march around the field with the band. High school marching band is also a HUGE deal here in Texas. Shayla had the biggest smile on her face, and I could see how thrilled she was to see her little sister performing. She was very proud. </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLH4a4T0offJ3guX4_l5neZygPX3gY1b0fkO3W6DSzAKiw8419JXMeYKDwospET6N9N1EwkUje7U6TzLr0xjeQkF3aEghp22DgGlUD-4D8MVZoqc5Qc7L2MoXcmts57fhAma7k5eFDa4/s1600-h/IMG_3159.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLH4a4T0offJ3guX4_l5neZygPX3gY1b0fkO3W6DSzAKiw8419JXMeYKDwospET6N9N1EwkUje7U6TzLr0xjeQkF3aEghp22DgGlUD-4D8MVZoqc5Qc7L2MoXcmts57fhAma7k5eFDa4/s320/IMG_3159.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386594154230283490" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2XGjHGB51tb45BrjysrHijsrMHXrpKztVxnPBiho14-EXTX1kqJjqA6tgrXWv7sdQwCGw8YaV5Wk00relaYIm_9cuVWqZ0frOZty7jc7FGjAut0ExXZmq-wpEy-ZNw3uCfgOGHM5AMFU/s1600-h/IMG_3153.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2XGjHGB51tb45BrjysrHijsrMHXrpKztVxnPBiho14-EXTX1kqJjqA6tgrXWv7sdQwCGw8YaV5Wk00relaYIm_9cuVWqZ0frOZty7jc7FGjAut0ExXZmq-wpEy-ZNw3uCfgOGHM5AMFU/s320/IMG_3153.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386594148550616402" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5IZY4Vl4681SrgE4c_Dxu8zwZhSmLhuSa4cMu2PCq2D41HYzpezqe0wRlq-8biidsb6LjUQYWe7VXVok67PWWmMAeZaUFBkVfdiTHMsTgwXfuTRJCPuomLkfbkFm9Hq9tC-8BCHCDC3M/s1600-h/IMG_3151.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5IZY4Vl4681SrgE4c_Dxu8zwZhSmLhuSa4cMu2PCq2D41HYzpezqe0wRlq-8biidsb6LjUQYWe7VXVok67PWWmMAeZaUFBkVfdiTHMsTgwXfuTRJCPuomLkfbkFm9Hq9tC-8BCHCDC3M/s320/IMG_3151.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386594137855270354" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The next day we all drove to college station to watch our Aggies play Texas A&M. Their stadium is known as the "12th man" and is rightly named so. There were over 75,000 people at the game and it too was an amazing atmosphere to witness. Utah State jumped out to a quick lead, but down the stretch they came up short. Either way, it was fun to support the Aggies on the road.</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHfKJO7SmbR_0oFJ7iAdPEUsvE9KckQzWy0_mGs2IXwUX2PhdU7l9rm9pRHa5dSZmknoBZtErdVz6tKkxpmdlp0ACM0IvsJ9X1H6BGc3VCvmR3843fACEYKs5-ivAcPXp41TP9MHrT31M/s1600-h/IMG_3166.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHfKJO7SmbR_0oFJ7iAdPEUsvE9KckQzWy0_mGs2IXwUX2PhdU7l9rm9pRHa5dSZmknoBZtErdVz6tKkxpmdlp0ACM0IvsJ9X1H6BGc3VCvmR3843fACEYKs5-ivAcPXp41TP9MHrT31M/s320/IMG_3166.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386592073555605906" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBoj9GkuJMq5r0r1J5vIYEldBo_4ZA9HSUzHxdoC0YN8vefAyrZXzzreHQi70Lkn3MoK9FBZ-OEPQ60E_RG6Tq01AOEeRXe1WeM1i9RvcXaghzE8YKaLs0tUb1chKm2wEVtHCU619sZ4I/s1600-h/IMG_3164.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBoj9GkuJMq5r0r1J5vIYEldBo_4ZA9HSUzHxdoC0YN8vefAyrZXzzreHQi70Lkn3MoK9FBZ-OEPQ60E_RG6Tq01AOEeRXe1WeM1i9RvcXaghzE8YKaLs0tUb1chKm2wEVtHCU619sZ4I/s320/IMG_3164.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386592065612532066" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8i8fAoTfJugoVFDERWb4e_Lf9b5FSRpZvUOCYP3RIVn0khjcvpJhmmAYurAyyCzxiYCQCCQ3eqFrSeeZGslgoflq12KSPSIZKuN6PJzu6m1z1Uch0HyVLSkNKiGFgudleBAPVlBipLqM/s1600-h/IMG_3163.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8i8fAoTfJugoVFDERWb4e_Lf9b5FSRpZvUOCYP3RIVn0khjcvpJhmmAYurAyyCzxiYCQCCQ3eqFrSeeZGslgoflq12KSPSIZKuN6PJzu6m1z1Uch0HyVLSkNKiGFgudleBAPVlBipLqM/s320/IMG_3163.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386592055781377810" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkqFyqLprWpa2PQldqcJ7_x0imVJa3wEQi4fRGf-_xCyB9cTU-kKFKWCr7A-W6KKEWBc5G4owF_tkf5LuUrVFMLzNpIzvOyPaunyaw0n1xKNka6VQhe34rl7V-aXQKjU2pbYeHya0oZbA/s1600-h/IMG_3169.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkqFyqLprWpa2PQldqcJ7_x0imVJa3wEQi4fRGf-_xCyB9cTU-kKFKWCr7A-W6KKEWBc5G4owF_tkf5LuUrVFMLzNpIzvOyPaunyaw0n1xKNka6VQhe34rl7V-aXQKjU2pbYeHya0oZbA/s320/IMG_3169.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386592052978979010" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg23h5MNahWwgT8443Z5Uuz6YIeCPqPEAauGJwmx1fUP8EqPtjoNgELCrF1b3kfq9rm-fusP3HUOfLwcPl_q6Q49FkozsQ49CwgMqKmNMDw4dwu7DdLq4Wvte2DW2zX7V1uJ4wpDIwvxQM/s1600-h/IMG_3168.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg23h5MNahWwgT8443Z5Uuz6YIeCPqPEAauGJwmx1fUP8EqPtjoNgELCrF1b3kfq9rm-fusP3HUOfLwcPl_q6Q49FkozsQ49CwgMqKmNMDw4dwu7DdLq4Wvte2DW2zX7V1uJ4wpDIwvxQM/s320/IMG_3168.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386592043979667986" /></a><br /></div>S & S Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474881680115475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133374768532059235.post-78838374343365182652009-09-28T11:36:00.000-07:002009-10-22T16:43:00.918-07:00CAN ANYONE SAY JUMBO-TRON<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoTL1n1eQWVVSymaWgRU_JmsJRPsW8cADWZoUL5zx43wzVZmeQXG4mS9KmS-6AHlp7kv3NYCdkyG-tnm9933dUKYT8Pp5z5RRHWCb4sQ9JexRmjvrnwQWol3Nz4aZR0hdPowM_tBfwgrY/s1600-h/IMG_3135.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoTL1n1eQWVVSymaWgRU_JmsJRPsW8cADWZoUL5zx43wzVZmeQXG4mS9KmS-6AHlp7kv3NYCdkyG-tnm9933dUKYT8Pp5z5RRHWCb4sQ9JexRmjvrnwQWol3Nz4aZR0hdPowM_tBfwgrY/s400/IMG_3135.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386590833467198658" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Better late than never, right?? </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">When I found out that BYU would be playing Oklahoma in the new Cowboy's stadium, I had to take advantage and give my childhood best friend, Mitchell Payne a call to see if he could get us some tickets to the big game. As you can see, he delivered. Shayla and I were able to witness the big 1st upset in college football this season. I wouldn't consider myself a BYU fan, but that was by far the most amazing sporting event I have ever been to. By the end I was screaming and cheering as loud as I ever have. If anybody ever has the chance to take part in this billion dollar stadium, DO IT. It lives up to every expectation.

So, when my family came out to visit us this summer, we decided to see what all the fuss was about... and we were blown away. We couldn't get over how huge the whole thing was, let alone how easy it was to get lost in there. We loved meandering around (even in the pouring rain) and after a few hours we all decided it would be fun to check out the pet section of the market... We were definitely surprised to find how many different animals were sold, as well as the hundreds of different puppy shops. From the moment I saw all the little puppy faces, I decided I had to take one home with me. None of us could get over how cute they all were. Swede and I even had my little sisters begging us to buy one so they could puppy-sit :) It was definitely hard to walk out of there without having one in my arms... I'm patiently waiting for Christmas ! So anyway, here are some fun little pictures from our first flea market experience.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZl4BUuROLquXuMqbv8Hhb8uI3As1o8IdKYDx8asE4wMbQEcIqIPhL3df39ta5y4lqjjTYcjxV_nK7QeX6EY5KzF9EdcMxPMamDAdkre7S2RAGSgi0czRXpT0Lz605Kiy5w67Bn6-SHI/s1600-h/IMG_3058.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRZl4BUuROLquXuMqbv8Hhb8uI3As1o8IdKYDx8asE4wMbQEcIqIPhL3df39ta5y4lqjjTYcjxV_nK7QeX6EY5KzF9EdcMxPMamDAdkre7S2RAGSgi0czRXpT0Lz605Kiy5w67Bn6-SHI/s320/IMG_3058.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386587247624205938" style="text-align: center;float: left;

The heat here, combined with the humidity, has been quite a shocker for us. However, we have decided that we live in the most scenic place in Dallas, so we wanted to share a bit of that with ya'll. </div><div>We live on the edge of a beautiful lake called White Rock. We can literally walk out our front door, cross the street, and enjoy the lake. It has a nine mile biking/running trail around it, that Swede frequently takes advantage of. Two months ago he even decided to take on the nine mile challenge run. He got half way and about died... the last four miles he struggled to get home before dark. White Rock quickly humbled Swede, and he realized he was not in as good of shape as he thought... so he now sticks with a comfortable 3 miles a day :) He even talks me into roller blading next to him sometimes. Here are some fun photos of our front yard.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ1njIs_X-qqhIGKUs-Ldadz03DpsYrNwFIes5ZNu5MvVDeXmQhlZdxSRq6AGSP7B4rJXNALK1eZM_XhmgVbNS9yW34o7b6C-9NsohleqRvBo6rkl9lQR52JWf6pNp0GdPsD1ilpx5z-g/s320/IMG_2091.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354693180540324978" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 186px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJD8ew9qD8Hjs-yuxeYiZFsjNQg68v0h1yM9YcGelj8Qg8CyPMAWXKTeTMtZEJz0SeZKBiYCC5-lmYxxpUJSYqoFM1PEnlAbp3aYvmJc1IXySGI4VBmhPgD7UWU_NfYQMYDznN4Duf07I/s320/IMG_2116.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354710608902890066" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3LGbMo7DzAHbhvFAr0D9u6WwG3cEPekaKqHVHRSGpMED0qimyrizLT0B1CTYjMV50jP0lsT_xHpUqncqQj5GK8oEYNvFDEqVgjIBA5FGSooc8xoNGTig4dKw9Am30m-c7jP4nwgWCT1g/s320/IMG_2120.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354704455543485970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaS3yipaBT1r0sO5rRSTjgXplXFud7SvBapHdbCOGGj44aRC9GuG9L3S10qIucLJ8loGHOkhO2aw2uEWAlLg4qOCzvSa8VNfILccgph3cBSI894eSXjhYXO48vkr9-sNZphdAg3NPi-4/s320/IMG_2110.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354704447050939682" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 242px; height: 320px; " /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">This is the lovely Dallas skyline</span></div></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFv_FZBUQhT6c1z97hopI-IM8SxSJYdPiIJgeVskqETp6ZlUKdCe6fwenoxZGZoqZL0AYFsO0u6T1VpBnWzJfn5mLwz3c4u9ZhDthUDoAVb4c1xKaksOI_zVlV81U78oxsfg3OwKlMUV0/s320/IMG_2126.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354693176027751250" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 184px; " /></span></span><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiko_5vjPr1CPHDwU7dBc51hasEaqullCSLjx33-dbViIybdurNKHUU52ITv8gtWEFANuyVk8nm14wEeYSa4PfE51TjecFeBcLs3_nwscC6yySEQuV4STUT9GwO4dll1MSfSlcogGVSfI4/s320/IMG_2104.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354685114177661074" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><br /></div><div>P.S.

Shayla convinced me to swim out and ride the waves. Let's just say that "Hapuna Beach" just about took my life and Angie was right there with me searching for air after we got hit by back to back waves! The waves don't look that big but trust me they were huge. I now have a whole new understanding of how powerful the ocean can be. Angie and I were thrown around like rag dolls. Of course Shayla is a pro at swimming with big waves so she had no problem going under them to avoid the hit.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrIFE8V-g391EO6pAF3j02Udy9dJHTpue8k8v_6rWvEsJ2tjBU_YqWvhomlnvLXRRuAW5D9VqAqBUI3sMaloY-HPB78T77t5WKoWW8Psw3Rax7oFFXGU7c83QeVSqwa0qfy93D5SMKho/s1600-h/IMG2660.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrIFE8V-g391EO6pAF3j02Udy9dJHTpue8k8v_6rWvEsJ2tjBU_YqWvhomlnvLXRRuAW5D9VqAqBUI3sMaloY-HPB78T77t5WKoWW8Psw3Rax7oFFXGU7c83QeVSqwa0qfy93D5SMKho/s320/IMG2660.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343498596732068706" /></a>Joner set us up for a nice day to hit the ocean and snorkel.

Second me and dad running routes just like old times. He used to be able to lay out and make that catch but not anymore. I think I may have lead him a little too far. This last video is some great footage of all of us laughing our heads off. Angie and Marcus were supposedly following us, but we didn't see them behind us so we had to track them down... When we finally found them, they were shocked to realize that they had been following some latinos the whole time, thinking it was us. It was quite the laugh. For all of you who know Jone, she loves to hit either her leg or the steering wheel when something is funny, and John apparently thinks this was the best day ever :) Keep in mind this was the tail end of our laughter, you should have seen us 5 minutes earlier, it was a riot.</div></div></div>S & S Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474881680115475noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133374768532059235.post-61103998100626609412009-06-04T08:02:00.000-07:002009-06-27T08:55:54.199-07:00LAST DAY AS AN AGGIE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCKi_gcEj72temps1zmnVpFwHAP0o_wsoThDcJaqVps5jVsr283Y6AguwDsnpWtEOSj5tCHF14GlZStOl9giW2UYBjOUv4VY4vNRzwBk5CkPwaYhFncnNhxl6KyDgVESFywueI46NIoSg/s1600-h/IMG2747.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCKi_gcEj72temps1zmnVpFwHAP0o_wsoThDcJaqVps5jVsr283Y6AguwDsnpWtEOSj5tCHF14GlZStOl9giW2UYBjOUv4VY4vNRzwBk5CkPwaYhFncnNhxl6KyDgVESFywueI46NIoSg/s320/IMG2747.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343494381791622034" /></a><br />Because I absolutely love Utah State, I decided that I should pay a little tribute and post my last moments as an Aggie... It was my last day of finals and my mom was in town helping my sister and I pack and move out of our apartments, and a cousin of mine came up to Logan and wanted a tour of campus... so, having given my fair share of campus tours throughout the past couple years, I decided I should go out with a bang and give them the best tour USU has ever seen :) I even took them up to our anthropology museum.. hence the crazy masks we decided we looked good in :) And of course, a tour isn't a tour without a stop at our True Aggie site.. so I filled em' in on our fun little kissing-atop-the "A" tradition, and they loved it! It was a beautiful last day, and I'll always be proud to be true blue Aggie!!<div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwQNZKvT3k_C3_BL6MOHatXajKnZRWaFK5Xt9Tt4yUM4bMY_VSQ1wSljFPTvYpWI0LopjN7nWbDdyAV-HYJNk1jYfGgkM4IXJjJOt9lFzqk-sAnoBfkb2xtzK1asxya9u7E2j3UC8ZRE/s200/IMG2744.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343491683849372658" /><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcydBdnGwwQfQMxU3SXBcCguVjXaYsBUU7WMnJbseqpFZKnBC0CtyoLlcvIiF0aP3wOLaX5ehjrDsxaugLV1FOU0jtY9ORi4CokPU7Y2QXo9pKh_QcXd1wO9ImAPYUFXB2uTCXQ2TTzLA/s200/IMG2741.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343490994274418994" /><br /></div>S & S Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13824474881680115475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133374768532059235.post-73308190146353879902009-06-02T09:45:00.000-07:002009-06-02T15:21:54.543-07:00TO START OUT<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiqC3mP3PpaizdtfNsbHPvUkD-RlODwqa4UYtiL7zQwI52PlKFr1cm_OndQv0OTQUR5y5U7mutLJgNfs0ubdGF40xf_aqZ3dNzrPSaW51mitADuSgIsETTPhDIjMFY9hl2OcvB_KLVkU/s1600-h/IMG_2262.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiqC3mP3PpaizdtfNsbHPvUkD-RlODwqa4UYtiL7zQwI52PlKFr1cm_OndQv0OTQUR5y5U7mutLJgNfs0ubdGF40xf_aqZ3dNzrPSaW51mitADuSgIsETTPhDIjMFY9hl2OcvB_KLVkU/s200/IMG_2262.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342781674123229330" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:11px;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It all started in September of 06 when we had the same calc. class. Swede needed a cute tutor, and I was overly happy to oblige the handsome RM. We dated for about 2 years and decided to get married in Salt Lake City on August 7th 2008. So we've now been Mr. and Mrs. Olson for the last 10 months, and life couldn't get any better. Swede finished up his Business degree in December and turned right around and found an awesome job as a Sales Rep for Hershey's Chocolate. He moved out to Dallas in March while I stayed back in Logan to finish up college in May. It was a crapy 2 months apart, but we are finally together again and enjoying Texas. We live on a beautiful lake with lots of fun parks, running trails, and great big trees. Swede is enjoying his new job and I am still working on my photography business. I just bought a nice new camera and am super excited to get the ball rolling with my dream of being a professional photographer. Dallas is definitely a fun new place to be and we would love to share it with some familiar faces... so come and visit! :)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">P.S.
