The Nelson Family: A few of my favorite memories from the past few weeks...

A few of my favorite memories from the past few weeks...

As I mentioned earlier, we spent the Holidays with Greg's entire family. Here are just a FEW of the many that I have from that trip:

Aunt Melissa and cousin Shad. Deagan has talked about you non stop Melissa since we left. He is always asking for either you, Holly, Brad, Grandpa, or Uncle Bryce.

Deagan had not seen his cousins since April. He loved being able to play with them. He kept calling Shad Izaac for some reason though. Funny kid.

The family was having a Christmas Eve program and these two were watching quietly from the fireplace.

Shad as a wiseman?

Grandpa Nelson and Deagan

We went ice skating for Aunt Melissa's birthday which was the day after Christmas, and Deagan got really cold from pretty much the moment we started. So we came inside and drank hot chocolate and let Deagan play while everyone else finished ice skating.

"This is delicious!"

Daddy and Deagan ice skating. He didn't want to put his own ice skates on so Greg held him for a while.

Christmas morning: Matching sweaters!

I don't think that Deagan was really upset about what he was getting, but he made such a great face! I think he is opening clothes in this picture, so maybe he is upset. I felt bad because we opened all of his Christmas presents before we left because there was no way we would be able to take them all back on a plane, so he didn't get to open as many gifts as his cousin.

That also might explain the huge frown here.

This is from the day after we got home. We hadn't really got a lot of until this past week. There is about a foot or two more on the ground since this was taken as well. The temperature was pretty warm considering it is winter, so we decided to go play in the snow and build a snowman at a field behind our place.

Daddy and Deagan hard at work.

Greg took this one, and I kind of likes how it turned out.

His snow suit reminds me of the kids from "The Christmas Story"

For some reason I just really like the lighting in this picture

Kids do and say the darndest things...

I don't want to forget all the cute things that my children have said or will say, so check back often to see what the Nelson family has to say!

Kayden: Do I still have my eyeballs or are they still at Grandma and Grandpa's house?

Me: I never knew they were there...

January 8, 2011

I was tired this afternoon, and I needed to nurse Kayden. I felt too tired to go pick up Kayden from where he was, so jokingly I asked Deagan if he would go change Kayden's diaper, nurse him, and then put him down for a nap.

He took it seriously, and said, "I have little boobies mommy! But do I have milk?"

Me: "No you don't have milk. I was just kidding."

Deagan: "But do I have water in my boobies?"

Needless to say, he did not follow through with what I said:)

*We went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight, and after the waitress brought us our breadsticks my son yelled after her, "Thank you lady!"

*My oldest loves to bring toys with him to bed. Tonight he had a couple of toy dinosaurs that he got for Christmas. The rule we have of bringing toys in bed is that the toys can't play, they have to sleep too. Tonight, he was having a hard time just letting his toys sleep, so I kept asking him to stop playing with the dinosaurs so he could go to sleep. He was getting really frustrated at me because of this and towards the end he started saying, "I am very mad at you!" It was so hard for me not to laugh at that.

He has done this for a while now, but whenever we are in the car he will ask, "Where are we going?" in a annoyed kind of voice. Later on he will ask really sadly, "Where did my house go?"

My oldest woke up really early this morning, and was whiny and impossible to please. At this point, I am dreading the day ahead and it is only 7 a.m. My oldest was sitting on his play table coloring and playing with his paint box (that was empty). He dropped the paint box, and began whining for me to pick it up. The conversation went something like this:

D: "Pick it up Mommy!"

Me: "It is right by you, you pick it up."

**Pause from Deagan**

D: "Michelle! Pick it up!"

I couldn't help but smile when he called me Michelle. Maybe this day will be better then I am expecting.

I think that wanting your privacy while going potty is a natural instinct that we are all born with and that develops over time. D is beginning to show signs that this privacy is a very important time when going to the bathroom. This afternoon I was making dinner and came in to the living room to check on him. As I walked into the room, he held out his hand and yelled, "No Mom! Go back!" I can always tell when he is done by him allowing me to stay in the same room with him.

D wants me to always watch what he is doing regardless of what it is. His new favorite thing to say is, "WATCH MOM!" over and over.

July 11, 2009

I was taking a bath, and locked D in the bathroom with me while I did so so I could keep an eye on him. During this process, D was very interested in his old nursing buddies (if you get my drift) and kept saying "Yummy!" "Yummy?" I asked him. "What did it taste like?" "HOT DOGS!" He replied!

D is a big help around the house. He puts things away when I ask him to, sometimes. He helps me fold the laundry, by that I mean he lays in the laundry. He is just a great help. One of his new things is to throw away his diapers after I am done changing him. After a diaper change this afternoon, he proceeded to pick up the diaper and head to the trash. His normal trash that he uses was out of reach, so I told him to go into the bathroom right off of the kitchen and to put the diaper in the trash right next to the toilet. I think all he heard from that was, "Put it in the....toilet." because that is where he put it. Like I said, very helpful! :)
