Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that all of you have had a fabulous Thanksgiving day. We certainly did and feel so grateful for all the things that we have in our life. Even though we are far from family during this Holiday, we had a wonderful family from our ward invite us over for dinner and had such a great time. Of course we missed our family and wished we could have spent this time with them though. I made way too much food and we have way too many leftovers, but leftovers freeze well fortunately. We all stuffed ourselves senseless with food, but isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about? :) During this Thanksgiving holiday I am very grateful for my family, my health, and for the situation that we are in. Even though we are very tight on money, we have enough and for that I am grateful.

Let the Christmas season begin!!

Ugh!

It always seems like when money is tight something needs repaired. For example, my washing machine has decided to stop draining water. Perfect. I called this afternoon to set up a repair and was thinking, "This has got to be a simple repair, so I am sure it won't cost much." Needless to say I have never had something that I own break where I needed to call a repair man to my home hence my naive way of thinking. $129!!?? What!? Looks like there goes our Christmas.

Talk

My husband wrote me a song when he proposed to me, and he has been working on adding more to it since then. On the top of the right hand side of our blog, you can listen to it for yourself. The song is entitled "Talk" and if you ask me it is one of the best songs ever:) I just love that guy.

IT'S A BOY!!!!

We must just be really good at making boys because another little guy will be joining our family in March! He looks super healthy and everything is where it it suppose to be. He wouldn't cooperate to give the dr. one view that she needed, so we will have another sono at my next appointment. Anytime I get to see this little guy is fine with me! It is just a miracle to me how much they can see with these sonograms. It is just a miracle! We are so excited to have another little boy, and Deagan keeps saying, "Baby brother!" I don't know how much he really understands, but he is hoping on the bandwagon either way! I was so excited that I found some really cute pj's on sale at Target for like $3 and had to get a few for the little guy. It really is a blessing to be having another boy right now because we are so tight on money, and we really don't have to buy a whole lot because we already had a boy. Heavenly Father was definately thinking when he sent this little one our way! We are so blessed and so excited!

Fall Activities

I have said it before, but I love this time of year! I am sure I will say that even more with the Holidays coming too! With the weather still being pretty nice, we have tried to do as much outside as possible. We play in the leaves, go for walks, go to the zoo, etc. This past week, we went to the zoo on a really nice day and had a really good time. We bought a membership there since we seem to go so often anymore, and I am so glad we did.

Deagan gets tired of getting pushed in the stroller all the time, so he decided this time that he wanted to push the stroller the whole time.

Surprisingly, he did this for most of the walk around the zoo.

I also love this time of year for the pumpkins. Since we went to the pumpkin farm a couple weeks ago, we thought it was time to carve one.

I am not too fond of gutting out the inside, so Greg handled that part.

We wanted to include Deagan in the fun, so we let him paint his baby pumpkins that he picked up at the farm. He painted the pumpkins for a bout 10 minutes, and then started painting other things like his toys and his hands. It was a very messy project, but he loved it.

Hard at work gutting out the pumpkin.

Deagan hard at work as well!

I took pictures for the first part and then got down to business by cutting out the design. I have done this before, so I don't know why I thought it would be easier.

The final product!

Family's Visit

Part of my lovely family came out to visit last week, and I was so busy having fun that I realized that I didn't take enough pictures to show how much fun we were having. I got a few as we were saying goodbye, so hopefully that will do.

I just love this picture with my mom and Deagan.

It is so fun to see my dad with Deagan. Deagan loves his Grandma and Grandpa!

Cody and Deagan. These two were inseparable the whole weekend.

At this point, I think Deagan was just tired of smiling for the camera, so Greg had to force a smile.

My lovely mom and I!

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.

January 4, 2009

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!

July 8, 2009

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! :)
