Anna Olson Case Study: How to stress out your already stressed-out parents!

1. Obey your grandma who asked you to bring in your Aunt & Uncle's garbage can (in St. George, UT), but accidently slip and hit your head on the hard plastic edge when the garbage can wheels go out from under you. 

2. Put on a brave face as you prepare to get stitches. 

3. Get your head repaired, but cost your parents $321 in the process! (Although it could have been much, much more!)

Goose Egg of the Century

Ethan fell face first and got the Biggest Goose Egg I've ever seen. He cried for about 3 minutes, we put Labendar and Frankincense on it, he stopped crying and wanted to watch a movie. I couldn't believe it. 

Soccer Star

Xander's first season playing soccer, since he was 7ish. He's a super star, kind of idolizes Neymar, had the haircut for a while... And sometimes plays like him. 

Xander has some fancy footwork on and off the field. He's scored many goals and plays the entire game. He's looking forward to many more season's.

Ethan Riding his Bike- 2 1/5 years Old

Ethan insisted that He learn how to ride his bike one morning. Within 30 minutes he was free! Riding everywhere!

When we shared the excitement with grandparents, they responded, "For a normal kid, that's fantastic; for an Olson, that's common."

Who's More Worn Out? Kids or Dog?

We took care of Nate's dog for 9 days. Koko, who is normally rambunctious, used all extra energy within about 2 hours of playing with our kids. She was calm and worn out the rest of the week.

Ben Lesser and Reiner Hoss

Attending an event in Henderson, NV for the Zachor Holocaust Remembrance Foundation.

Amazing to be in the same room as Ben Lesser, a Holocaust survivor, and Rainer Hoss, the grandson of the commandant of Auschwitz (Rudolph Hoss - who murdered millions on Jews) including much of Ben's family.

Ben's story of survival is amazing, but just as compelling is Rainer's story of disowning his family when he learned the truth about his grandfather and left home at the age of 15.
