Summer Time Fun With Cousins!

Summer Time Fun With Cousins!

I know this post is a little late but oh well. Nelson LOVED having his cousins out this summer. He loved trying to keep up with his big cousins Noah,Gabe and Avery. He loved baby Sadie. He loved giving her kisses and hugs but most of all he loved sneaking her all the food she wasn't suppose to have. Him and Ayla loved doing whatever the other person was doing and LOVED throwing 2 year old tantrums together! We wish all of them could live closer because we love having them around. We miss them all and can't wait until we get to see them again.

The Zoo!

On Saturday we went to the zoo with my family. It was quite a zoo not only because of the animals but with all the people, it was pretty crowded. Nelson loved sharing a wagon with his baby cousin Sadie. He was such a good little boy he would ride in the wagon then Roger would lift him out to see the animals and then he would get right back in (it surprised me) His favorite animal were the Giraffes. He loved watching them eat their food. He also loved riding on the carousel and playing with the big water ball. It was a fun, hot day!

Nelson the BIG brother!

Most of you probably already know we are expecting baby number 2 the end of February! We are all very excited! I had my first doctors appointment on Monday and he said everything is looking good. We got to see a little ultra-sound of the baby, I couldn't believe how big it looked already. This baby was totally different from Nelson it was nice and calm and when we saw Nelson on his first ultra-sound he was crazy moving all over. I've been a lot more sick this time and (I'm definitely showing a lot sooner)so I am ready for the first trimester to be over with(only about one more week) We will keep you updated with any news about the baby. We just wanted to let everyone know our exciting news!

Nelson on the Slide!

Nelson loves going down slides. He loves to count before he goes down. He favorite number is 2, so he counts to 3 saying 2,2,2 go! Its so fun to watch how excited he is after each time he goes down.

More from the 4th of July!

Nelson & Preslee (my cousins little girl) They are the same age & love playing together.

Nelson looking a little confused about what is going on. He also looks so old to me it makes me sad how fast they grow up.

Happy 4th of July!

Nelson throwing snaps. He was a little crazy with them you never knew which way he was going to throw them.

We had a fun filled 4th of July. Our day started off with us going to my grandpa's to eat breakfast and to watch the parade. Nelson didn't really understand the whole picking up candy thing and putting it into his bag at first but, towards the end he kind-of got it. The parade was way to long and we all got bored with it by the end. After the parade we went to my parents house to let the kids swim and play.( We all think its a lot better then going up to the park and waiting in long lines with grumpy kids) It was as layed back as it could get considering my mom still had family out from the reunion so it was a packed house. The adults even got to play a little. My dad bought a new game called speed mitten or something like that. It is pretty fun to play. The kids all had a blast playing in the water and trying to get the adults wet with their squirt guns. Then that night we headed back over to my grandpa's and did our little fireworks and then watched the big city ones from his house. Nelson loved the fireworks and would clap and cheer after each one. We were all tired by the end of the day but, I think we all had a good time. Happy 4th Of July!
