I am well fed and get a lot of cuddling time with my family. And in case you haven’t noticed…I am very cute with dimples in my cheeks!

Chillin’ on Hunter’s bed


My brother and I hang out in his room in the evenings before bedtime. We talk and laugh together.


My Mama Jane made me a beautiful new car seat cover with pretty cherry print fabric, cherry trim and cherry buttons! It brings a smile to my face every time my mommy or daddy puts it over my seat. It keeps me very warm in this crazy cold weather. I am excited to have my Mama Jane and Grandpa Fred visit me this coming weekend.

Hunter is my best friend.

Hunter taught me the YMCA dance one evening when I was fussy. It put me to sleep.

One of my many afternoon cat naps…I love tummy time on the Boppy.
I might not sleep much during the day but I sleep some at night now. My dad and I hang out late at night and then crash around midnight. My mommy gets up with me around 4 or 5AM and then I go back to sleep. My dad sets the coffee machine each morning for 6AM. It grinds coffee and Hunter says it sounds like a machine gun going off in the house. I do not hear it and sleep right through it.
I am growing quickly and am six weeks old, weighing in at 12.5 lbs. Today my mommy and I went on road trip to Bismarck together. We saw our friend Lora visiting from Arizona and did some shopping together.

    Elissa you are sure cute and so mature for 6 weeks. You sure have a great big brother. I am going to bring your boyfriend Kaden (or maybe Noah) to visit soon. Don’t even think about that Hondl kid, I know he is cute and all but I just think one of the Olson boys is where its at. HA!
    Hope to see you soon, I love to check up on you.

    As Katie has said before, I always tried to get her to marry one of my brothers. But since that didn’t work, I will be trying next with Sam, so we could be in-laws instead.

    Katie,
    She is so precious! I can’t believe how much she looks like Hunter in these pics. He has got to be so proud. I love the pic updates Katie. Keep um coming! As you can see by C’s blog – she’s getting too big for her britches. Literally – we had to go up a diaper size this week. I’m sad! I like her being this little!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
