Christina Roselle Olsen

We just had a new baby! I can't believe she is over a week old now. This one was hard for me cause I did not get to go to the birth. All my daughter-in-laws (both) know they can have babies without me but I have been keeping it a secret from my daughters. Now they know they can do it without me too. I couldn't go because I woke up that Friday very sick, coughing and with a fever. It was sad for me but another great birth for Eve. I'll let her tell you about it on her blog. This is her first girl and she is sooooo cute!! She is a good baby so far too. I'll put some pictures here for you. She looks like Tripp to me, but some people think she looks like Erick. Both the boys think she is great. All in all we are pretty happy with the way everything turned out.

Another One

I have another cutie patootie. This one is Michael and Velvet's newest. He came in June and I am visiting him, his parents and his sister in Salt Lake. I am having fun. He is a happy baby and is sleeping good. He is so cute as you see!!
We have been to the Copper Mine and to lots and lots of stores!! Velvet is great at finding bargains!! Her Mom is too. My Bekah and her Ben have been here with me but left yesterday for Idaho.

I will go there next Thursday to see her new house and family for a week. Ben is really growing and altho he is crawling and not walking he appears to be as big as Karli. They have fun together anyway.

The Last Days

I was looking at my last blog....can't believe it was Nov 08! I've wanted to write but just never when I was at the computer. Anyway these last days at the Temple are so weird. Yesterday was a record setting day of work there. Someone compared it to the 10 virgins parable. That is so true. There are so many people trying to do so much work it makes you think where have you been over the years? Of course a lot of them have been there a lot and they know they are going to miss going over the next year and a half. It is going to be hard to get to the other closest temples not just because they are far away (and they are) but also because they are already full of their own people and it's going to be hard for them to have extra room for all of us. Anyway there is such an air of desperation that I compare it to being prepared or maybe not being prepared. It really needs to be done little by little starting now rather than trying to do it all right before it's needed, whatever it is. Is that Procrastination? I need to do a study on that and see what I am putting off in my life! I really admire you people that blog a lot. I'm going to try to do better. That's if I have anything worth saying. I did have a great Easter this year and you can see my beautiful picture of ALL my kids if you go to my facebook! OK the next blog is going to be about my new grandbaby Jack and the birthday of my great grandbaby Damion!
