In 2010 we have had many exciting events take place in the Olson household.
In April we found out we were pregnant with our 3rd baby girl. We were very excited to add another little bundle of joy to our family. She came a few days late but made her way into the world on Dec. 10th at 12:18 pm. She is a beautiful little girl and so easy going so far. She is a wonderful addition to our family. We all love her very much
Hailey was dedicated to the Lord in March at our church and we celebrated with a dinner at our home. Hailey celebrated her 1st birthday in July with swimming, cake, and friends on a very hot 90 degree day. Hailey is now 18 months old and is into everything. She loves to make messes but fortunately likes to pick up as well. She loves to sweep and wipe up messes. Her favorite activity right now is cleaning toilets with the toilet brush. She also loves baby dolls and puts them to bed and gives them ba ba's . She and Maddie play together now and she loves to play chase with her. Hailey is a smiley and happy child. She loves new people and will often hold her arms up to strangers especially men to pick her up. She is very trusting and sweet.
Madison started dance and had her first recital. She loves dance class and continues to take classes this year as well. Maddie also took swimming, soccer, and T-Ball lessons this summer. Maddie also started preschool this year. She goes to a wonderful preschool at a Lutheran church thru the LADC. She is learning so much about life, academics, social skills, and God. She is the teachers helper and loves it. Madison celebrated her 4th birthday in Sept. with a Dora themed party including a Dora moonwalk. She had a blast. Maddie continues to be a very independent and vibrant child. She has a big personality at 4. It is so fun to watch her grow up. She is mommy's helper with her sisters. She loves to take on new responsibilities. She is very passionate and says the funniest and most observant statments. She is very much a girly girl and loves to dress up, dance, play Barbies, have tea parties, and color pictures for us.
We took a few vacations in 2010 with the girls and my parents. We went to Florida to Orlando and New Smyrna Beach in March. The girls loved Disney World and the ocean. In August we traveled to Montreal and stayed with my parents in their condo at Tremblant. From there we road tripped to Quebec City. It was like visiting Europe but without the time zone difference. Maddie even started to speak French to the locals. We also made several trips up north to The Olson's farm throughout the year. The girls love visiting the farm. Maddie helps pick eggs and loves to play on the farm.
Josh and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary this August. It is hard to believe we have been married that long. It seems just like yesterday that we were on that boat.
I (Charity) also started my 7th year of teaching this Fall. I continue to work at the same school in Oakdale in the same position as an Autism teacher. I love my students they make me laugh daily. I love my coworkers also. I am currently on child care leave from work until the end of March.
Josh has been keeping busy with his business, Olson Medical Billing. He is a very hard worker. He still enjoys playing softball, basketball, and football throughout the year. He also loves watching sports when he has time.
That about sums up our 2010. We hope you had a great year and that 2011 is even better
Love, The Olsons
Josh, Charity, Madison, Hailey, and Khloe
