Olivers Updates

I went to visit my Uncle Curt at the Vancouver Fire Station before he retired (only 1 shift left!)…I have my special fireman outfit on that Curt and Sharon bought me so I had to make sure to get some pictures with my favorite fire fighter.

Can I drive?

I’m not sure what this thing is but I’ll play with it!

Hey, it’s my Aunt Stacey and her daddy. What a cute picture!

The whole family! Thanks Uncle Curt for letting us visit! We sure are going to miss you and Sharon but look forward to coming to Idaho for a visit!

I have a new friend, he was born at the end of December and his name is Juda Parker Benson. I can’t wait for us to get bigger and have real play dates together.

Come close Juda, let me hug you!

This is Juda’s big bro Keegan, my mommy says he is getting so big, she held him when he was a baby and he is now in 2nd grade…but he is in 3rd grade math! Such a smart guy!

Me and my grandma Mina, she is great at making me laugh…I sure do love her!

Juda is holding his bottle, he is going to be a smart little guy too!

Juda’s mommy and daddy – Leif & Spring

Hi Juda, my name is Oliver, can I hold your hand?

Nice to meet you Oliver, is that my grandma behind you?

Oh aunt Sue, you are so funny! I always love my visits with you!

I got some sun at the Vancouver Farmers Market, check out my cheeks.

Juda and his mommy Spring

The grandkids – Auntie Sue and Uncle Marvin sure do love those kiddos!

Be careful grandma, I drool!

You know I’m cute!

Mom, I love my visits with the Bensons but I’m tired and need to go to bed! As always, thanks for taking time out of your busy days to meet us at the market and hang out at Sue & Marv’s. We sure do love seeing all of you!

Me and my favorite aunt!

Grandpa Ron wanted to play too!

Heavenly Salmon that uncle Seth made…he needs to give mommy the ingredients cause she wants to make it too!

Hey, it’s me!

Uncle Seth made a funny face at me and I laughed at first but they I started to cry…he tried to give me back to mommy but mommy wasn’t haven’t it! I finally cheered up.

It’s me and grandpa again, I may have been squeelin’ in his ear, good thing he is hard of hearing.

What are you looking at?!?

Thanks Uncle Seth and Aunt Stacey, we enjoyed having dinner at your house!

Back when my mommy was in 5th grade my grandma started the Hough parade (held on St. Patrick’s Day because the founder of the school was Irish)…now my grandma works for Hough School as a 4/5 teacher (at least this year) and she walks her class in the parade. Mommy thought it was super important that I not miss this event…I think we should do this every year because I had so much fun!

Mommy & Teresa were trying to control the dogs…this only lasted for a minute and then the drums started up, Blu was not happy to be there!

The Hough Babarista’s – so cool! Lots of my grandma’s students were in here.

Ms. Kessel’s & Mrs. Meucci’s class

It’s Sue Livermore – my mommy used to play at her house when she was a kid!

Candy Wallis was mining for young minds…she didn’t find any at the judges tables.

This is Paul Christensen – he has done lots of great things for Hough School and they are really lucky to have him!

Wowwie! What a car!

This train has been in the parade since it started and the coolest part is that Paul Mason drives it…I just happen to be related to him!

Mr. Miesner! He was my mommy’s 3rd grade teacher. He is going to retire this year and we sure will miss him!

It’s my grandma’s class!

Mr. McMillan – he was being silly on the scooter

Snazzy car!

Kids from Discovery Middle School…this is where most of the Hough kids will go when they graduate from Hough.

This is a preschool that my grandma said Hough kids go to and I think she also said Mr. Johnston’s wife works here.

What fun glasses she is wearing.

I think this is Ms. Foster & Ms. Cantwell’s class?

Ms. Madden’s class

The guy driving this lives right behind my grandma.

Mr. Johnston’s class – My mommy knows his brother from a long time ago, it’s pretty cool that he now work with my grandma!

The judges

Now, are you ready for the most photographed little guy?!? I was so stinking cute even strangers where taking my pictures!

You know I’m cute! Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Thanks for having us down grandma, we sure did enjoy ourselves!

Me and Daddy chillin’…

This was a whopper of a poo! I had it all the way up to my hair and mommy thought it was pretty gross so she decided to throw me in the tub and give me a good scrub. I can’t wait for the day that I do this to my daddy! He will be so grossed out!

Mommy thinks this one may go in the trash can, yuck!

I was awfully comfy! Look…I can take out my binkie!
