It's a New Year!!!

While everyone was busy making their new year resolutions, the Olson family have been busy getting ready for baby Branson, who will be making his appearance sometime at the end of April or the beginning of May. Madison is over joyed that she is going to have a "Little Buddy" to play with. (I think she is done with the whole sister thing considering Ash gets into everything of hers!) Miss Ashleigh keeps telling herself Branson is a girl, we've tried to impound the idea of a little boy into her but she just isn't getting it.....other than the fact that she wanted to name him Patrick after spoungebob!! lol.....Daddy Scott is super excited that he no longer has to shop for items in pink or purple anymore, every time we go to a store now I find him looking at boy clothes or even better little boy toys!!! I guess there comes a time in every mans life that they get tired of playing barbies!!!

Madison is now 7 and in the second grade. Daddy went to lunch at school with her today only to come home and tell me that the food was still horrible and his baby girl is no longer a baby anymore. She started the new year off great with strep throat this year, luckily we caught it before anyone else in the house came down with it too. She was very disappointed that she was not able to start back to school when all her friends did, however, she enjoyed being off with daddy! (As we all have)

Ashleigh is now 3 1/2 and thinks she is all grown up!! She idols her big sister and though it seems to drive Maddie crazy at times, I think she enjoys someone younger looking up to her! Right now we are into the princess phase, everything is about princesses! She has grown very fond of her sisters dress up items to which she wears at least three different dresses in one day alone! If you cannot find Ashleigh, look in Maddie's closet with dress up trunk!!
