Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas morning was great it was just our little family!! When Hunter woke up we showed him what santa left him and it was so cute. Ryan and our friend McKay built a workshop which was awesome. It was great to watch Hunter

Christmas was so much fun this year!! On Christmas Eve we all went over to Allan's (my brothers house) and has good food, great fun, and the best nativity story ever done by all of the grandkids!

Utah Fun!!!

So this last week we went down to Utah to visit Ryans family. On the way home on Saturday we all decided to go to the Hogel Zoo in Salt Lake. It was tons of fun to watch Hunter! It was a very eventful week. Hunter played in leaves, went potty in the big boy potty twice, and we all got very little sleep.

Jaw breaker Fun!!

So we decided to give Hunter a huge jaw breaker that he got from Grandma & Grandpa a while ago. He loved it!!! It was such a mess to clean up but worth the pictures! Thats what grandparents are for right? This is the before he totaly went to town on it.

This is the after. It was a yellow jaw breaker!! :)

Joe's Coming Home!

First of all thank you to all of the many people that prayed. It is truly a miracle that Joe is recovering so well. He was released from the hospital yesterday and the marines said that he could come home to recover the rest of the way which is such a blessing. Prayers have been answered. We love ya Joe and are glad you are okay.

Please Pray for Joseph

Just so you know I probably wont be posting anything but updates on Joseph (Ryans brother) for a while. He is currently in intensive care in a drug induced coma. Without too much detail, he is in critical condtion due to the fact that the breathing tube is doing 100% of the breathing for him. They are slowly backing off the sedation but things get a little tricky whenever they do that. He is a fighter and doesnt like all the machines hooked up to him. If you know Joe or not if you could just please keep him in your prayers all of us Nelson clan would appreciate it. I am currently down in Utah staying with the family so that Mom & Dad Nelson can focus on Joseph. If you want more information please go to Nicolets blog

Trick-Or-Treat

This year was officially Hunters first Halloween that he could trick or treat. Ryan was elk hunting with Jim (his brother-in-law) so Karissa Ryans sister came up this weekend for Halloween and Karli (Hunters cousin) and Hunter were so cute. Hunter was a cow and I was a cow girl and Karli was a poodle.

Pumpkin Patch

Last night we went to the Linder Farms pumpkin patch it was so cold but so much fun. There was a hay ride and a petting zoo and Hunter even got to have a pony ride. We picked out a pumpkin just his size so we thought we let him hold it and he broke two before we had left the farm. Oh well it was a fun experience!

Family Pictures!

Well it is that time of year once again to get family pictures taken. Thanks to Kevin & Maria for all of their time and great work. P.S. If anyone needs family pictures taken K & M Photography is the place to have them done. :)



Hunter and Mckenzie are playing in the leafs (aka) onion skins and having tons of fun!

Womens Celebration

St Lukes does a huge womens celebration for breast cancer every year where 11,000 women walk, run, or strol 5K. So me and a couple of my friends ran the 5K which was so awesome. It poured and poured so we were so wet but still loads of fun.





This is me actually running we were half way done at this point.

Tractor Ride With Grandpa!!!!!

This last week Lynndi (my friend) and I decided to go see our parents in Kimberly. So we packed up and took our kids to stay and Grandma & Grandpas house! Hunter and I had tons of fun with Grandma shopping until we dropped and with Grandpa on the tractor. Thanks to both of you for the great week. We Love You!

Hunters 1!

I cant believe Hunter is one. On Saturday we had a pool party for him with family and friends. It was tons of fun. Thanks to Kevin and Maria the pictures and video of it are amazing. Everything went great the food was good (thanks to everyone) and the swimming was a blast. Thanks to everyone who came!

And last but not least little Hunter tearing up that birthday cake. Of course with the help of his uncles.

Just Plain Cute

Our friends Lynndi and McKay got a new trampoline and Hunter loved it. He was laughing so hard he could hardly breath it was the cutest thing ever. He played so hard and got so dirty! Boys will be Boys







So yesterday was the first time Hunter attempted to feed himself with a bowl and spoon. Lets just say I think two noodles went in his mouth and the rest on his body and on the floor.

Nelson Family get together

So this weekend was tons of fun! Ryans three sisters and Mom and Dad came down to our house on Thursday evening and stayed until saturday morning. It was a great time we just hung out at home. Then Saturday night there was a big Nelson family dinner at Great Grandma and Grandpas house in Twin Falls. Hunter and cousin Karli played together so cute. Grandma thought it would be funny to put them in the watering pot and Great Grandpa enjoyed one on one time with the grandchildren!

First Camping Trip!

This last weekend we went with our ward on a camp out. It was a lot better success than the last attempt at camping. Hunter loved it! He is truly a boy loving the dirt. It was a very short but tons of fun.

One Year Older And Maybe Wiser????

So today was Ryans 25th birthday he is getting old! So with us trying to cut back on expenses he got to choose anything he wanted for dinner instead of a present. He chose BBQ Ribs. I had never made them before but according to him they turned out good. I also made a german chocolate cake.
