Keepin' Up with the Olsons: Trip to Texas

Words By Which to Live

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt

Trip to Texas

We spent two weeks at the beginning of this month in Texas. We had a wonderful time with my parents and sister's family. I didn't take as many photos as I should have, I had morning, or rather all day, sickness and had very little energy. Thankfully my mom and sister both can relate and were wonderful to let me relax and rest on the couch for the majority of the time. The cousins played and we just enjoyed being together. Oh how I wish we lived down the street from them and Grandma and Grandpa!

two peas in a pod. they did a great job playing together...most of the time. :)

my beautiful niece. we were able to be there to celebrate her 9th birthday!

my oldest nephew is always thinking. he was always working on something, building something, reading or figuring something out. one day he is going to be famous for discovering something important I'm sure!

the littlest nephew. quite a personality and such a doll. he quickly learned to stay clear of zoe and her nose tweaking habit which we are still working on breaking her of.
