The Olsen Family: May 2009

Update

Well we have been busy as always but I thought I would post a few pictures of our year so far.

So far it has been a busy year. Mike has been traveling a lot. He has been to Liverpool, NY, Chicago, Arizona...just to name a few. It is so tiring for him but he never complains. He is such a tough guy! His travels have left me, as I call it, a "work widow," but Anthony is at an age where he is my little buddy. He is a lot of fun! We enjoy conversations about "why do cars go fast" and I spend much of my time answering his many why questions. :)

Anthony has been busy too with sports, swimming lessons, play dates, birthday parties and more! I know I am biased but he is such a little stud at baseball! He loves it! Oh and he loves golf too. He has Mike's natural athleticism! I have a ton of video but I have yet to find the time or patience to figure out how to upload the videos. Hopefully I can post them here soon.

I also just passed the AGPA test so I can promote at work (a senior analyst position with the State)! I am so excited! The pay raise will be such a relief since we will be affected by the furloughs. We still don't know how much our pay will be cut, but with this raise, it won't matter. Whew!

I better go because Anthony is up from his nap and, as usual, there are balls flying past my head!Hopefully it won't be too long before I can update this blog again!

Easter

We had a great Easter and Anthony got to have 3 egg hunts! We are so blessed to have such big families and wonderful friends!

Easter Egg hunt at the Costanza's in Concord. Anthony is counting his eggs with Nana.

Poor Joey did not want to take the group picture

Silly boys! Anthony's neighborhood friends.

Anthony, James and Evan hanging out after the egg hunt...They look like they are planning some trouble!

The cutest easter bunny in the whole world! My little nephew Jack.

Party Time!

We have had many fun birthday parties to go to so I thought I would share some pictures of some of them.

Sienna's 3rd birthday!

Anthony's cousin Sienna turned 3 and she had a really fun birthday party and there was a clown named Giggles there too.

Sienna's Uncle Mike (my cousin) wears Sienna's favorite scary mask whil bringing her the cake. She loves it and we had a good laugh too. Of course Anthony was scared though. HA!
