Ta Da!

Super William!!

Bath time!

William has a "little people" man and boat for the bath and has realized that he can put it in his mouth. He really likes it when I pull it out of his mouth.

Birthday!

Mike and I got William a tunnel for his Birthday. He really likes it!

Party!!

You might not be able to tell but his shirt says "My 1st Birthday"

We had a Birthday Party for William on the 11th. It was really great. He had a great time eating cake and playing with all his new toys!

Pie!!

My Mom won 1st prize for Apple Pie and my Brother won a pie eating contest. Way to go guys!

Mike also entered the pie eating contest but didn't win, sorry Mike!

Fall Festival!

William was a frog for Halloween! Here he is with his Uncle Brenton

Rachel's Birthday!

It was my Birthday on Oct 20th and after Will's surgery Mike and I went out to dinner and I came home to my family and CAKE!! Thanks all!!

Cute Baby!!

William had surgery on Oct 20th and they put these cute PJs on him!!

Grandma and Grandpa Hoover!!

We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa Hoover a couple of weeks ago!! Grandma sure does like to cook for her family!

Duluth!

The first weekend of Oct we went to Duluth with our friends the Jackson's. We had a great time hiking the water falls and enjoyed the company at dinner.

Don't Jump!!

I thought this was a great shot!

Mayli's Birthday!!

Our friend Mayli (on the right) turned one last week and for her birthday a group of us went to the Children's Museum.

Kara and William had fun in the wood log.

Ice Cream You Scream!

For a FHE The Olson family along with Rachel and Will went to look at the first and second LDS chapels in MN. After we went for ice cream, it was so much fun. We have a picture of William's drool on the pink ice cream cone, too.

Supermen!

Mike wanted me to call this picture Super Dorks. I think that they are cute! A couple of super guys!

Spoons

William has found has way past the wall that we have for him and goes straight for his spoons and in the process the cat food. He loves playing with and chewing on his spoons.

Football Player!

This Picture is dedicated to my brother Mark, he is excited that there is another football player in the family!

Great Grandma Gaulke

We had a great time going out to lunch with Grandma Gaulke!!

Sleeping

He is even cute when asleep - usually his bum is up in the air but the guitar PJs make up for not getting that on camera.

Everywhere!

William is crawling and climbing everwhere!!

In front of the camera

William always has to be in front of the camera even if he is taking it!! Hahaha!

Provo/BYU

The original 4!!












Here is the Mike Gaulke family at BYU.

Music and Spoken Word!

On Sunday Mike, William, Jessica and I went to the conference center to listen to the Morman Tabernacle Choir.

Salt Lake City

Here is the Gaulke Family (minus Serena and Alaya) on the Conference center in front of the Temple!

Aunts and Cousins!

Here we are in UT with Aunt Serena and Cousin Alaya.

Flying High!

For the second week of August we went to Utah to visit family and Will got to ride on a plane for the first time. Here we are in the airport-Will still isn't sure how he feels about everything!

Will's discover!

We were doing wash at my Grandma's and William found a fun way to try and suck on glass. He has been discovering many things over the last few weeks. He has really started to get around and into everything. His hands and knees are red all the time. He is curious like his mom. William also has learned how to pull himself up in his crib, next to the couch, just about anywhere.

Minnehaha!

So the day after Will and I got back from the cabin we needed some Mike time and went to Minnehaha Falls!

The Turtle Races!!!

So up at the cabin in town they have what is called the "Turtle Races" every Wednesday. It is one of most important things we have to do when we are there. You should be able to get the idea by the picture of how it works if not you can always email and I can explain. This is obviously Will's first time at the races. So you would think that when we are 7 of 9 turtles that we would at least win our heat, but no we still lost.

Fun at the Cabin!

First time in the lake or any lake. Will was a little scared at first I think it was a little colder than our heated pool, but once he got comfortable he started splashing around.

This is at the back of the cabin facing the lake. What a big boy!


I just thought that this picture was cute! Don't you?

Cabin!!!

My Grandparents have a cabin up north on a lake. It is my favorite place to be every summer since I was a little girl. Here is Will for the first time at the cabin!!

July 4th

For the 4th of July we went to the tase of MN with a bunch of friends and while we were there we met some new ones! Pat this is for you!

Camping

Walking up the Mississippi from the headwaters.

Here was our campsite, that was a mile away from the car!
