Bracelets Off

By mid August Carlee, was scheduled to get her braces off. The first phase is done. Yeah!! And her teeth look great. We got to be pretty tight with Dr. Hess and Kristi since we were in for broken metal quite often. They both were so patient with Carlee. We love Kristi and Dr. Hess. Now a break until Carlee is 12 and another $4,000.00.

Utah Basketball

At the beginning of August Parker was able to attend the University of Utah Basketball camp with his Uncle Mike and Cousin Jordan. It was his first time away from home without his mom or dad. He did so great and really grew that week. He slept in the dorms, ate in the cafeteria, played fooze ball with a lot of basketball mixed in. He was tired when I arrived on Wednesday night. He just fell into my arms though he stayed cool around the guys. Thursday was final games and awards. He received the Mr. Defense award for his age group. Quite an accomplishment. After camp we shopped a little and had lunch. He slept from Ogden to Boise and all Thursday night. He was pooped, but can't wait to go next year. Not used to all the red. Especially when I am a BYU Fan!!!

Olson Reunion

So at the end of July we did the 1st Annual Olson Reunion. Just Ray's immediate family. All the cousins had so much fun together. The men golfed, the women did manicures and the kids played games, slept over, water games, bounce house and played at the park. We also did family pictures. We all can't wait to do it again. I enjoyed visiting and getting to know all my in-laws a little bit better. My nephew Junior said it was the best ever!! I agree Junior!!

All the boys. Ray and I are the only family with girls. 8 Boys and only 2 Girls.

All the cousins!!
