Discovery Gateway!

Roger and I decided to take Nelson to do something fun just for him before the baby comes. So we went to the Discovery Gateway (Children's Museum) Nelson and I had been to one before with the Mouritsens in California and had lots of fun so we wanted to try this one out. It was a little crowded and not quite as fun as the one in California ,but still fun. Nelson had fun trying out all the stuff. He loved playing with the water and was soaked from head to toe. He loves helicopters and they had a real one there for the kids to play in. Nelson wanted to get in it so we put him in with the other kids then all of a sudden it started to make noises like it was about ready to take off. Shear panic came over Nelson's face. He started to stress out and cry he thought he was going to go up in the sky and leave mommy and daddy behind. It was sad but, so cute! It was a fun family outing!

Let It Snow!

This was Nelson's first year to really go out in the snow. He wanted to help daddy shovel the sidewalk and driveway. He LOVES wearing his snow boots! For a while they were only pair of shoes he would wear. He liked walking trough the snow in his boots and also throwing the snow. Roger taught him how to throw snowballs. I love how cute he looks all bundled up. We just hope it doesn't snow to much anymore we are ready for Spring.

A Crazy Christmas!

The Holiday season was so fun this year with Nelson. He loved seeing all the lights, Christmas trees (or boo boo trees as he calls them I don't know why) watching Christmas shows and last but not least all the presents! About a week before Christmas Nelson got sick and was sick for 2 weeks straight. So we didn't spend as much time playing with cousins as we would have liked to but, we still had a good time and love having family come home for the holidays. Nelson wasn't his usual self with not feeling good and not sleeping good but he still managed on Christmas morning to be happy. He loved everything he received and was spoiled by everyone. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!

We are alive!

I know I haven't updated our blog forever it has been a crazy last couple of months. So I am going to be playing catch up as much as I can before our sweet little baby arrives then I will really have no time. Hope everyone is doing well and I hope you all don't go crazy with all the new postings I am going to make!

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!
