How we roll...

There's nothing like a good laugh and Baylor definitely gives me plenty of those. The other day he was determined to put his snow boots on. He got the first one on and then...

He almost got the second one on...
Truthfully he did, it was just backwards :)
I was laughing so hard as I attempted to follow him around and take pictures. I still don't know how he was even walking, but somehow he did.
He eventually ditched the backwards boot and opted for the one boot look. He even ate lunch that way.
One booted bliss
Love him. to pieces.
And that is how we here at the Olsen house do it. We roll with no pants and a backwards boot. Cheers :)

Little Jimmer

In honor of the COUGARS and their SWEET SIXTEEN game tomorrow...

I thought I would post about our own "Little Jimmer" :)

When Santa brought B his hoop for Christmas, there were a few people who questioned Santa's choice for the bigger hoop, instead of the toddler hoop. I began to worry that maybe Santa was off his rocker. But then, Baylor did non other than rise to the occasion. He figured out how to shoot it high and he's become quite the little baller.

He LOVES coming home to "shoot the hoop" If he misses he says "I missed it, try again" among other things. It's so darn cute. He LOVES basketball, the Jazz, and of course the Cougars. Russ calls him "Little Jimmer." One day Russ asked if he should stand over him like Jimmer's brother did to make Baylor better and I kindly replied... NO. He's only 2 Russ. Maybe in a few years ;)

I will end this post with a big congratulations to the Cougars for making it to the sweet sixteen, a big good luck for tomorrow, and one last song for all of you

TEACH ME HOW TO JIMMER, TEACH ME, TEACH ME HOW TO JIMMER...

You've officially been Jimmered.

Look who we got to meet...

C.J. MILES!!!!

For anyone who doesn't know... C.J. plays for the JAZZ!

When I saw that C.J. was going to be at a model home in Herriman (that I pass everyday on my way to work) I wanted to take Baylor to meet him. C.J. thought B was so cute! Baylor thought he was going to see some hoops, but he was satisfied when they got him this ball to hold :)

My class is doing a project right now, after reading a book called "Flat Stanley." They all get to mail a Stanley to a family member or friend. I took a "Stanley" for C.J. to sign and had him take a picture for my class. They were beyond excited today.

It was fun to meet C.J. and tell him how much we LOVE the JAZZ!

And it was his birthday, so we got to wish him a Happy Birthday. Even Baylor told him "Happy Birt-day Party," he loves birthdays!

Thanks for the fun C.J.!

LUCKY

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Sunday we went to my parents' for their annual St. Patty's day dinner and treasure hunt. We ate everything green imaginable as well as the traditional corned beef and cabbage. YUMMY.

Then the kids got to go on a treasure hunt. It took them all over the house with rhyming clues. Baylor wasn't quite as quick as the big kids but he thought it was fun chasing after them.

Their last clue took them to the dryer, where they opened up to find a treasure chest full of FUN!

All the items had little clover tags with their names on them. B got lots of fun GREEN things like a car, glitter ball, sippy cup, shirt, and treats.

He put his new hot rod to use right away!

And he thought his new shirt with Mickey and a rainbow on it was absolutely awesome.

Thanks Grandma JuJu for such a fun night and tradition!!!

Can you tell which child is TWO here???

Oh wait, it's mine and he DID NOT want to be in this picture hahaha

I think I'm pretty LUCKY myself to have such a sweet little wild thing in my life. Here are pics from the last 3 St. Patrick's Days :)

1st

2 months old

This one is also from his first St. Patty's but it made him look so much older!

2nd

14 months old

3rd

2 years, 2 months

I think his shirt applies to me though...

LUCKY ME! I get to be his mom :)

SNOW much fun

On Monday after work, I got to my mom's to pick up Baylor with a big list of "to dos" running through my head. The first thing Baylor says to me is "Mom, we go home... make a snowman... with carrots... for dada." How do you say no to a request like that. So my list of things to do was pushed aside, for some fun in the snow! I bought Baylor these snow clothes at the beginning of winter and sadly enough, we have never used them. He thought it was so much fun. I wish I would have taken him out sooner.

He loved picking it up and watching if fall off his gloves

We built our snowman and sadly we didn't have a carrot for his nose. We did however have an orange pepper and B thought it was perfect.

In Baylor's words... TA DA!
