20 weeks

It feels great to know that I am halfway done!  Still not huge- but I know it'll come quick.  

We're having a....

BOY!

4 more days

On Tuesday the 18th we go to the Dr for the big 20 week ultrasound.  I am so excited to find out if we are having a little girl (Lola) or little boy (Juan Cruz).  Those aren't the names we will use when our baby is born, but I figured since we have some blankets embroidered with those names (thanks to DownEast Home) those are the names we'll use for now.  Unless of course you like the name Kool-Aid better.  Josh is convinced that is good name for a future child of ours- he has yet to convince me.  

We are really excited to find out and to see our little baby on the ultrasound.  Go ahead and guess what you think baby Olson is on the poll in the sidebar.  I think it's fun to know what other people think.

Punkin Chunkin

I was so excited to go to Punkin Chunkin this year.  I found out a couple of weeks ago that there would be one held here in Denver and I was super excited.  We had watched it last year on TV with my family and it looked so fun.  We woke up yesterday to snow.  Yes, snow. I was a little saddened by this, but was determined to go.  We, and a couple of friends headed over to the fair grounds where the event was to be held.  It was snowing more there than it was at our apt, but it was okay because it was punkin chunkin...  Well, we got there but didn't know that we'd have to wait for over 2 hours to see the pumpkins, but luckily there was an indoor hall that we were able to walk around and hang out in so we didn't freeze.  There was also a craft tent that Josh really wanted to go to.  We made corn husk dolls and they are pretty awesome. You should be jealous.  Overall it was fun, but freezing cold.  

Redondo Beach

This past weekend Josh and I were able to take a break and head to Redondo Beach to spend some time with the Gillette family.  We were able to cheer Mckay on at the MB Hometown fair 10K.  She did great- and this was only her second time running 6 miles.  These pictures were as she was finishing.  

While everyone was either at work or school on Monday Josh and I rode bikes along the strand.  We walked around the Redondo Pier and it really made me miss living next to the beach.  Maybe someday...

We were also able to hang out on the beach and admire the sunset.  I don't know if the family really enjoyed all the pictures I took of them- I mean my sisters love photo shoots... but not everyone.  Oh well. We had a lot of fun and I am so glad we were able to go.  Thanks mom and dad for letting us stay and thanks to Maddy for letting us take over your room.
