Date Night





Yesterday was my last date with Mackenzie before she moves to Charlotte. In honor of the occasion I learned to say her name. I especially like to say 'Mac.' We had fun playing in the water, and I sure am going to miss her. I think mommy and daddy are going to miss Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Brian too! Mommy said her and Aunt Cheryl might plan a vacation next summer so we can see them again. I sure hope they do!






Chase had on a new shirt last night in honor of his string of blowouts.





Despite playing in the water last night it was still bath night. Chase and I got all clean and then off to bed we went. Enjoy the pictures and videos.

Catch Up



It's been a very busy month at the Olsavsky Household. I have a lot to report, so I hope you're ready!

A few weeks ago, mommy took me and Baby Chase, along with Aunt Cheryl and Mackenzie to a block party! It was so fun- we got to play with ducks, eat hot dogs & popsicles and play in big bouncy thing. The next day mommy and I went to the zoo and met up with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Liza, Austin and Paige. Cousin Austin got his face painted like a pirate. He looked really cool.


Over the last few weeks, mommy and daddy have turned our basement into a play room. It's lots of fun down there, I can play with my toys and read my books all in one spot. Chase even has some toys down there and likes to play on his play mat. Soon after the playroom was complete, we had some bad thunderstorms. One night daddy came up to get me from my room to go to the basement- there was a tornado warning. I don't really know what that is, but I got play with my toys at 1 am! We finally went back upstairs, but the thunder woke me up at 3 am and daddy came in to take me to his room. I had fun sleeping on mommy's pillow.

Chase is really starting to get big. He went to the doctor two weeks ago and here are his 4 month stats: 14lbs, 11oz and 25 1/2 inches. He can now sit in his chair and saucer, as well as lift his head and chest off the ground. Mommy said he'll be rolling over soon. He likes to smile and talk to me, and I like to talk back in his 'language.' Chase made the big step of moving into his own room. I think he really likes it- He is always smiling when we go in there in the morning.

On the 4th of July we went to a parade! It was a little wet, but I had lots of fun. I liked waving my flag and I really liked the old fashioned cars with the silly horns. Later that day we went to a cook out at our neighbors. They had all their toys outside and I played with some of my neighborhood friends. I really liked playing corn hole.


That Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa came up for Grandma's birthday. We went to the park, where I got to see a real train car and play on the playground. I even played with sand for the first time. Chase slept the whole time we were there, but I made the most of it and had a lot of fun!


On Sunday, we went to Cleveland for cousin Paige's birthday. It was an Elmo party- I love Elmo! She got a really cool bike, maybe I'll get a bike for my birthday. I love to ride them at school. I had fun playing on their swing set and climbing into the fort.

Grandma Bonk and Papa came down last week to go to the zoo and I got to ride on a boat for the first time. I had a lot of fun and didn't want to get off. Afterwards, they bought me a frog and a dolphin that light up and make noise. I liked them so much I went to sleep with them.

This past weekend Grandma came up just to play with me. Grandpa sent me a video about a boat and a football! I had fun playing with Grandma, while mommy and daddy did housework. After Grandma left, Grandma Bonk and Papa Chicken came over. They were coming for Chase's baptism. On Sunday we got to sit in the front row at church because Chase was getting baptized. All the grandparents, GG, Uncle Jack and Mackenzie and her parents came to church for the big event. I was a little noisy during the baptism and I didn't want to be held. Chase cried when they put the water on his head, but he was fine after that. After the actual baptism, I got to go back to the cry room with Mackenzie. Mommy and daddy said we were crazy- all I know is that we had fun!



After church everybody came back to our house for a party! Uncle Ryan's family, Grandpa O and Aunt Dar and Uncle Kyle, Aunt Sarah and Will also came over. We had fun playing outside and downstairs. We got to play Wii and I convinced GG to push me around in a box. As you can see, Chase and I were worn out afterwards. It sure was a fun day!


Monday night we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for GG's birthday. We also picked up Riley. She was staying with Grandma for a few days. I sure was glad to see her! My cousin Mya was there and we had fun playing with all of Grandma's toys.

I think that covers the last few weeks. I'll try to update more frequently.

Have a good week :)
