Okaboji Vacation

In June Me and Chris and Malaki were lucky enough to get to go on a family vacation to okaboji, in iowa. We had a blast and got to take along our nephew Charlie for a few days. We were also visited by mak's aunts tina and mel and uncle time along with max and lincoln. We had a great time and enjoyed all the company. Mak and tina doing thumbs up in the pool

All of you who knows malaki very well, this picture captures his exact personality.

Can you tell me which way is the beach

Okay , no i do not let my child smear peanut butter on his head for fun, he had smeared gum in his eyebrows to make charlie laugh and well i knew the secret to get that out was to put peanut butter on it(thanks to my brother gabe who would like to stick gum in our hair)

Mak and chris on the log ride

It was raining so mak was trying to lay down on chris, but still went on the ride three times in a row.

The goofy trio (you would think they were triplets)

I love izzy expression in this pic because it is totally her. :)

Grandmmmmaaa , santa brought me just what i wanted for christmas( he described it perfectly to santa, so there was no way he could get the wrong one. :)

What would christmas be without a handmade bed from papa. It is beautiful, and wish i had a pic of it all together, need to get one, but my sister mel has one at olsonx4.blogspot.com.

What santa left for the boys(mel's boys stayed with us for xmas too)

Oh my gosh, look at what i got from papa terry and nancy. :) thanks guys he loves it, it keeps him away from his dads real ones, well for a few minutes.

Mak's bed comes with six drawers on the bottom, with dinasours for the handles.

Look what papa made me

Sesame Street Live

Malaki and I went to the sesame street live when it came to rapid city. It was a lot of fun, and we got a pass to go see elmo before his big show and take pictures. It was a blast and a very colorful show. Mak with elmo and ernie(i could be wrong, haah I always mix them up)

It was elmo's green thumb so they were trying to grow this flower

This show is greeeaatt...

What a great show, can we watch it again.

These guys are funny.
