1st Dentist Visit

Oliver likes to refer to himself as "little-big" and Lincoln is "big-little"...he is a "big boy" but not as big as Lincoln or Dad. Its very entertaining. He also graduated to a booster seat about a month ago. We have had a couple of scares with him un-buckling his seat belt and opening the door while we have been driving, but he knows "the right way" as he likes to say now.

 Oliver had his first visit to the dentist right before Halloween. Lincoln was there getting his teeth cleaned and I think that helped him not feel scared. Oh and the dentist office has a little alcove with I-pads for the kids to play games while they wait...I am sure that helped too. He has asked several times if we can go back to the dentist to play the I-pads.

No cavities and a new Toy Story Woody toothbrush!

1st Day of Preschool

Oliver started preschool this year. It's actually at Kid's Inc where he and Lincoln were in daycare. He hasn't gone since Adria was born. We worked it out with them to have Oliver go for a few hours twice per week. O was so excited to go back. His teacher is Ms. Pat, who we all love. She is so good and just loves our kids.

Three - The Party

Oliver turned three while we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa Jensen in Utah this summer. I took him on a special movie date to see The Croods. We both enjoyed the movie and of course the popcorn!

We had a wonderful family party for him up in the mountains at Timpanokee Campgrounds. Grandma brought a bubble machine and the kids had a blast dancing and trying to catch hundreds of bubbles.

 

We also had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle friend party on the Saturday after his birthday with our friends kids, Aubree & Jaycee Smith, Gabe & Sam Poulson, and Easton Baird. Our good friend Michael brought a bounce house and we had water balloons, popsicle and a dinosaur cake.

Oliver: Inner peace

Oliver's 1st Camping Trip

Oliver just went on his very first camping trip ever. It was fathers and sons with Grandpa Bullen. O was pretty fascinated with being outside at night. The full moon was huge! O slept with me in one tent while Linc slept with grandpa in his. Before going to bed, we sang some songs and I told O a story about a boy named Luke who lived in the desert on a planet a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away :)

O found a pine cone for his mom. . .and apparently his six pack.

Fathers and Sons is even better with a brother

Dudes camping. . .yeah!
