We are going to-

For those of you who don't know already my husband Rhett joined the Air Force his first year of dental school. They paid for his schooling and now he will be working for them for three years. He is doing a one year residency in Las Vegas at Nellis Air Force Base and we have been waiting to find out where we will be stationed for the next three years.

Rhett's top ten!

(1) Kadena, Japan
(2) Germany
(3) Germany
(4) Tokyo, Japan
(5) England
(6) England
(7) Italy
(8) Alaska
(9) Washington
(10) New Jersey

We just found out last week that Rhett got his top pick and we will be headed to Kadena, Japan. It is on the island of Okinawa and we will be moving in August! We are SUPER excited, but it would be a lie if I told you I wasn't a little nervous! We just submitted the paperwork for everyone's passports and are excited for the future!!! Now we just keep our fingers crossed until we get there... they can change his orders up until the day he leaves. :( Anyway, what a great adventure we have coming. I will try to keep the blog updated better when we are there!

All-time Record!!!

I LOVE playing thumper with the Olsen's. They are down right brutal with each other and I think that's what makes it so darn fun! I find it hard to stress how competitive they play. I guess the best way to state how serious this game is is to say that everything that could be used as a weapon of any sort is checked at the door before entering! lol. I guess it's not quite this extreme YET, but if they can screw you up with your bid.... they totally will at ANY cost! I love it! It is a total blast! Rhett got an all-time score and wanted it posted for the record!!! Good job baby! I am so proud to be married to the Thumper champion! It gives me no greater honor to introduce Rhett Kenneth Olsen, Captain in the Air Force, Dentist, and even more importantly, Thumper Champion!



Congratulations Rhett! I am so truly in love with you, and this is WHY!!! Go ahead and look who got second place too, better luck next time Olsen's. :)

Black Eye

Poor little Carter was outside running after the cousins and ran smack into the side mirror of Chase's car! It knocked the sweet little thing right onto his back. It ended up hitting and bruising his cheek and went right up and gave him a black eye! Poor Carter... it was a tough weekend for quite of few of the group!

Ryan and Chase smeared on their long boards and got skinned up pretty bad and Ryan even broke his collar bone! I hope you guys are feeling a little bit better! Just remember... chicks DIG scars! :)

Carter running into the mirror reminds me of a funny phone call I got about a year ago-
Carter was in kindergarten and I got a call from the school asking if I could come and pick up Carter. I immediately panic figuring he couldn't figure out the belt he had on that day! I ask if he's alright and they inform me that he was playing soccer and ran directly into a tree! I wen to pick him up and he had scrapes clear down his little face. Poor kid. I guess we need to teach him to watch where he's going!


Bowling

We have loved bowling. We got to go with Aunt Tiffany! thanks Tiff. It was so fun. We started off with an amazing game of air hockey. It was absolutely brutal watching these two trying to get it in the slot! I almost died laughing! It was a pretty close game, but Carter edged him out in the end! The bowling was really fun too. We had all the cousins there so the little boys loved that! Our scores were really amazing too!!! j/k.





A classic pose for the camera. Taylor is totally loving being so close to Carter!

Happy Easter- Eggs

On Thursday while Carter was at school we decided to dye eggs with the little guys! It was fun and messy! When we picked up Carter from school to head over to Melanie's for the weekend he came out totally bragging about his Easter party and Taylor said something about us doing eggs! Carter asked me what he was talking about, so I told him we dyed eggs and he immediately started bawling. Melanie was a great sport and bought stuff to dye eggs over there too! So here is the finished product!







Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great day! I went back and listened to conference and thought it was inspiring!!! Sorry Olsen's the pictures from dying the eggs didn't get downloaded yet!

No more cribs!

My sweet little babies have big boy beds now! I can't believe how fast the are growing up. The first night they did pretty well, they played for a few minutes and fell asleep on the same bed. It was really cute. They love to get on them and jump. Love you little monkeys!!


I swiped this picture from my brother Justin and thought it works perfectly in there! Thanks Justin! :) He doesn't know yet, but he will find out soon enough!

Look What I Can DO!!! (Taylor)

Taylor is FINALLY fully potty trained. He even tells me when he has to go poop in the (big) potty! Yoohoo! I never thought this day would come! Way to go buddy! We love you!
