Happy Halloween!

Nelson loved Halloween this year. He loved all the pumpkins, decorations and most of all the CANDY! He surprised me and didn't fight me on wearing his costume but, he would only wear his hat outside for some reason. He loved answering the door and talking to all the trick or treaters and every time they would take a piece of candy he would take one for himself to. He loved knocking on doors and saying "Trick or Eat" He wanted to go inside every house and would always take at least 2 pieces of candy. He always said "Thank You" after they would close the door and we would be walking away. He was so much fun to watch. He is getting so big it makes holidays so much fun to see how excited your kids get over everything. We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Pumpkins here, Pumpkins there, Pumpkins everywhere!

I am a little late on this post on the Saturday before Halloween we took Nelson over to the Pumpkin Walk. I was a little sad because we got there later so he wasn't able to do all the fun things but,he still had a good time anyway. He loved looking at all the different pumpkins and loved walking through the hay maze all by himself. Then on Wednesday we carved Nelson's 1st pumpkin. He loved watching daddy clean it out and carve it. He did not like the feel of the inside of the pumpkin at all. He was so excited when we were finished and he saw it all lit up!

California Adventures!

Last week Nelson and I were able to go visit the Mouritsen family. It seems like we always make an annual trip to California in October when Roger goes on a hunt. I was so nervous of how Nelson would do on the airplane but, he LOVED it and was such a good little boy. Nelson loved being able to see he cousins. We had so much fun being able to celebrate Sadie's first birthday. We also got to go to a pumpkin patch which we do every year when we go back there. Nelson loved riding on the train and looking at all the pumpkins. Alan also volunteered to watch all the kids so Meghan and I could go shopping for a couple hours. They all survived which was good. It was fun shopping with my sister and hopefully one day she will live closer so we can do it more often. We had a great time and we can't wait to see them all again. Thanks Mouritsen family for letting us come and visit!

It's A......GIRL!

On Monday we went in for my 20 week ultra-sound. We were so excited to find out what we were having but more important make sure that the baby was healthy. The ultra-sound tech said that everything looked good and that she wasn't worried about anything but the Dr. still had to look everything over. It took forever for the tech to see if it was a girl or a boy. Our little girl would not uncross her legs. She kept moving the whole time covering up her face with her hands, yawning ,waving but would never uncross her legs. We tried everything to get her to uncross her legs then finally the tech said I got it. ITS A GIRL! Nelson has been saying the whole time it was a baby sister. We are so excited but I am still a little nervous that she might come out a boy after I buy all little girl stuff. We are just glad she is healthy and can't wait until February when we finally get to see her!

Nelson the Make-Up Artist!

Lately Nelson has been fascinated by me putting on my make-up(probably because its a very rare occasion when I do) Anyway the other day he took some of my eyeshadow without me knowing and was applying on his own make-up. Of course when I tried to take a picture he ran all over the house trying to get away from me. I don't know if he was trying to be like his mommy or make him self a beard like daddy!

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.
