Mega Post

Well life is been crazy! Updating once a month about Graham has been my last few posts! So here is a MEGA post about ALL my equally adorable babies!

First Owens Birthday!! I can't believe he's 3.... and when I say that, I mean, I feel like he was 2 FOREVER!! Owen is so fun. He will make you laugh half the time, and make you go crazy the rest! He loves Spiderman, Hulk, Pirates, Trains, wrestling, swimming, and peanut butter and honey sandwiches! (he must get that from me)

He is a great big brother, and a terror of a little brother. He will do anything in his power to make Lily scream. Then the next moment hug her, or give her one of his toys! Owen is active from 6 am to 8 pm. I will never have to buy a gym membership, just chase him around! He is SO smart, and loves to play with the older cousins! You are my sunshine O! I love you!

Graham is getting big! Well.... lets be honest here... the kid is massive. What I mean by big, is fun!! here are some pictures of the kids playing with him! He will make a great little brother to Owen.... He LOVES to wrestle!

He has also developed a few tricks!

 "I CAN do this Lil....let go!"

 "Concentrate..."

"DO YOU SEE THIS!!! I hope your catching this right now!"

"That's right.... I'm big"   (Smolder)

Washington has been fun! I like living near family, I like my house, Brad likes his job, there is lots to do.... but I miss my friends from Logan! I love all of you so much, and think about you often! I know I will make new friends here, and have already started building some good friendships... but know I miss you!

Last but not least

I started a Facebook page for my photography! You don't even have to be a facebook member to look at it! So come, look, like!

4 Months!

Oh how I love you. All 18 lbs and 25 in of you!

Grahams Blessing

 Sunday was a great day for the Nelson Family! Brad was able to bless Graham this week! It was such a beautiful blessing. You could feel the love that our Heavenly Father has through the words that were said. Graham you are such a special little boy. Your Heavenly Father loves you so much!

Ps... I do too!

 I was pretty bummed when Owen was a baby and I didnt get one picture of him in his blessing outfit. (He puked and pooped at the same time). This was NOT going to happen to me again! So I took these a couple days before the blessing! I will have to post the other ones later of Owen sticking his tongue out and going crazy!

 These are outside the church building after the blessing. Brads 2 brothers and some of there family were able to come.

 All these pictures outside got way too over exposed so I changed it to a warmer tint..... Graham looks like a ghost!

 After we had a fun lunch and all got to spend some time together!

 Pure awesomeness!

Barb, Lisa, Jodi, and Me! We missed Jen and Jill... wish you two were there!

Things are changing

Well I have been a slacker when it comes to blogging... but for good reason. WE'VE MOVED! These past few months have been crazy! Brad Graduated and left off to his new job in Washington at the end of April. Yup that's right School.Is.Over!! We were so blessed to have him find a job before he graduated, and Brad is doing really well. We are so proud of him!

The kids and I met back up with him the last week in May, and have been adjusting really well. Our house is great and in walking distance to lots of fun activities for the kids and It doesn't hurt that we live close to Brads family either.... since we kinda like them ;) 

The kids showing off their new house. (Thanks Jodi for my wreath!)

Brad took me on a hot date for some seafood he had been promising me. It was a little chilly that day, but beautiful! 

We got a membership to the Children's Museum 

 We walk to the beach by our house on the warm days and swim... even if we don't bring our swimsuits...we swim haha.  NOTE: Bring swimsuits!

Our whole backyard is FULL of berries. Strawberries, blackberries, salmon berries!

The back of our yard is lined in salmon berries and blackberries... YUM

Our living room

The rest of the house still has a lot of boxes... so this is all you get for now ;)

 We do miss all our friends and family in Utah, 

but are excited for this new adventure in our life. 

3 months!!

Graham is full of smiles!! I have never had a ticklish baby... but he sure is. He has a few tickle spots, where if you hit them just right he lets out some great giggles! At 2 months He weighed 15 pounds so I can only imagine how much he weighs now.  He sleeps from 9-5, feeds and then sleeps till about 9.... which I am not complaining about. He loves baths and would stay completely content and happy if someone would just talk to him all day!

 Love me some piggies

He hates to be on his belly so Im sure rolling over is going to be a while away.
Graham is such a special part  of our family and we are so lucky to have him.

I love you baby boy! 

I'm 26!

If you would have asked me at 16, where I would be at 26 I probably would have said Broadway haha. 

Never in a million years would I have thought I would be married with 3 beautiful children.

Brads been gone for almost 2 weeks now and we have 3 more to go before we join him in Washington.

This means LOTS of mommy time!!

I love being a mom (though Challenging) I wouldn't trade it for broadway.

I had a great birthday, chasing my kids around at the park, and going to a movie with friends.

I can't believe he's 2 months already...

My terror... Love him though

And lily, the loving big sister. She is tuff too. She has been through a lot lately and is still full of giggles!

I had to add in this picture.... this is a house across from the park..... really??

7 weeks... Im turning to Mush!

Smiles are becoming more frequent with our litte man, and It melts me everytime!
I don't know where those blue eyes or red hair comes from, but it fits you! I hope you keep them forever!
Your sweet little dimples remind me of your big brothers that I love so much.
This week is really the first week you would even look at me. Picture frames, and cielings were way more interesting.

You are finally realizing that daytime is for play, and night is for sleeping. I put you to bed around 9 or 10 and you sleep til about 5:30, feed, and then fall back to sleep til about 9:30. This makes me VERY happy!

Graham you are such a blessing to our lives! We love you so much! I can't even look at those sweet little lips without wanted to squish them together and kiss you!
Love, Mom

Easter Fun!

Easter is one of our favorite Holidays! Not only do you get to spend time with family, hunt for Easter eggs, and remember the amazing life and sacrifice of our brother Jesus Christ

but on top of it all

 Baby Animal Days comes to Logan!

 Owen holding his first duck!

Lily talking baby talk to her bunny haha!

 This year Brad was lucky enough to join a Golf course country club that held a huge Easter hunt, relay races...

and yes, the EASTER BUNNY! (Owens Favorite!)

 On Easter day my sister and my beautiful nieces and nephews came over!

LOVE them! Can you tell which kids are mine?

 They laughed and played till dark!

Best friends!

If you didn't see any pictures of grown ups its because we were too busy cooking, and creating memories! :)
