Grandpa and Grandma Olsen Visit!

 Last weekend Andy's parents came for a weekend visit.  We had a great time touring around with them and enjoying the kiddos birthday party with them!

On Friday everyone had school (including Andy) so I tool them up to the local winery!

They also had brandy tasting.  Mary Lou and I acted like we were really interested and  gave it all to Al!

Claire just loved her grandpa  and he loves to act as silly as she does!  (Claire covering him up with all of the blankets in the house and he would jump out and scare her!)

Al still owns the first ever cell phone invented!!  The kiddos were amazed with it when we were out to dinner!!

Saturday was beautiful here so we hit up the opening of the farmers market at the capital.

Claire spotted Bucky the Badger from a mile away!!

Just chilling in front of the capital..

Al was such a sport and climbed into the third row and would just roll out...

On Sunday we had a bowling Birthday party for the kiddos.

Drew and his best buddy Rowe.

Time for cake!!

And to sum up there trip here this last photo is of Claire feeling their poor dog Kai one. bite. at. a . time!!  Kai truly is the most patient and well behaved dog I've every met!

Birthday and Easter Weekend

This past weekend my mom came to Madison!  In the car was my nephew Cade and niece Lucy to celebrate Easter and a few Birthdays this past weekend with us.  Drew and Claire were in heaven!

Cade's Birthday was last week and my mom's is this week.  A cake and candles were in order:)

We also tied in a few Easter activities.  The kiddos are at SUCH fun ages for holidays and their excitement!  We planted a few jelly beans outside to see what would happen...

After watering them, the craziest thing happened and they grew into suckers!

Drew and his cousin Cade

Based on everyone's eyes, the sun must have been hitting just right...

After going on a walk we came home to a trail of carrots..

And the Easter Bunny had arrived!!

Happy Easter
