Vote for O!

 Of course I think Olly could be a Gerber Baby. ;) I'm a little biased. We would totally appreciate it if you went and voted for him!! His ID # is 172370.

Olly Boy Turns One

 I can NOT believe this little guy is one already! That year flew by. He is getting THE biggest personality, ever. He's full of determination, attitude, laughter, dance moves, cuddles, and spunk. Our lives would be boring without him. He has filled places in our hearts that we never knew were empty. We love this squirt to pieces.   

His 1 year announcements I made for family:

 

 Aunt Sherelle took the CUTEST pictures of him. This is one of my favorites:

Lucky little guy had two parties, that means TWO chocolate cakes! One with the Hanson side and the other with the Christensen side. Of course he loved the cakes, he has a serious love for chocolate.  

 

Oliver and cousin Brynlee are 5 days apart, so they ate cake together :)

// OCTOBER //

 October went by way too fast. But we enjoyed every minute of it! We had never been to a pumpkin patch until this year. All 3 of us were first timers. :) And we learned pumpkins are ridiculously expensive. Haha. We had fun watching Oliver explore and stare at people. 

 Then we had the annual Halloween Party with the Hanson clan. Oliver was a Spartan Warrior, and won "The Most Original" prize. Yay! Like usual Todd came up with a funny costume last minute. Marc dressed as a baseball player, so Todd decided to be his trophy wife. We also had a yummy dinner at David and Sherelle's!  It was a fun time! 

 Since Oliver is almost one (sad!) Aunt Sherelle took his 1 year pictures before it got to cold outside. There are SO many we love, but here is a cute one that shows his wild personality. We love this little guy more then anything!

Someone's Growing Up

 Since I have not blogged since Oliver was 5 months, I thought I would share how much he has grown since then! It's crazy. He is a ball of energy!

 6 Months

We were in Spokane for uncle Brenden's college graduation.

 7 Months

He sure pulls silly faces.

8 Months

This one is Todd's all time favorite picture!

9 Months

Handsome as ever!

10 Months

He is mastering the art of walking at this age

Lately...

Well Oliver is getting BIG! He just turned 5 months a few days ago. He has the biggest personality! Always smiling, laughs at dad most of the time, hates taking naps (it's always a battle), talks loudly, prefers attention 24/7, has a bit of an attitude (we're in trouble), he'll watch cartoons in the mornings while I get ready, and of course he has us wrapped around his little finger. Olly boy is such a blessing in our lives and we couldn't be happier. 

  As for Todd he is still going strong in school. He will be a senior after this semester! Yay!!! Then he'll apply for the Physical Therapy program. He also was coaching a 5th/6th grade basketball team. He was able to have 3 of our cousins on the team as well, so it made it that much better! Also he has been watching Olly while I work, so he has been a busy guy. We're SO proud of all his hard work in school and for everything else he does for us. I love him to the moon and back.

As for me, I recently started working full time. It's hard leaving my Oliver, but momma has to bring in the big bucks. ;) Haha! Plus I really love what I do, so it's not too shabby. Other then that nothing is new and exciting with me. I've been enjoying my little family more then ever, and am incredibly grateful for them! 

Basically, life is good for us Hansons. :)

A little late on this but Olly boy is growing up! He has been the best blessing in our lives and we couldn't be happier. Love this little guy to pieces!
