Where in the world is....

The other day I couldn't here Ellsie and usually this means she is doing something she shouldn't be doing. So I started the hunt to find her, a little afraid of what mess I might find. It was very funny when I found her, she had made the kitchen island her little home for the day. She is so funny.

The Yellow Jackets

Jaxon started playing soccer this spring. He has played three games so far and has really been enjoying the game. He has been hit in the head with the ball 3 times and he just stays in the game and keeps playing like a champ.
He looks so cute in his uniform, it's so big on him!

A little late Easter post

I know this post is a little late, but it's better then never right. We had a great Easter Sunday with the kids. Luckily the weather turned out nice and we were still able to have the egg hunt outside. Jaxon helping Ellsie find the eggs, he is always a big helper.

Josh wasn't the best hunter so he thought he would just eat his bag.


My three beautiful kids, I love them all so much!

Where did you come from....

Jaxon was practicing his letters today on his Magna Doodle. When he told me he spelt STOP. I looked over at the doodle and could not believe that he really spelt it and it looked perfect. I gave him a high five and told him he was amazing. Then the conversation went like this.....

Mandy: You are so amazing, where did you come from?
Jaxon: From Jesus mom.
Mandy: From Jesus huh?
Jaxon: Yup Jesus has to be a good speller.

I love that kid he makes me laugh.

Have a great Wednesday!

Amazing another post so soon!

know I know you can't believe it another post...

I can't believe it myself. Some how I have no kids bugging me for a few minutes. Ellsie and Josh are both asleep and Jaxon, Gatlin and Annie are outside playing in the sprinklers.

The house it so quite I think I may have to scream just to feel normal, It never stops anymore. The noise starts at 7:20am and keeps going until I leave for work at 7:30pm. Sometimes I know this sounds bad but it's nice to go to work and leave the utter confusion and mayhem behind for poor Jed to deal with.

So now with this blessed quite moment I will try and update you on everything so I can feel like I'm actually not behind on something. Because as I type the laundry is piling up again, I'm still scrapbooking 2004, and their are so many other things I'm behind on I can't even start.... So here's an update on our life as crazy as it is, I wouldn't trade it for anything......

OK maybe sitting by the beach in Hawaii!

My family enjoyed a great camping trip in the Uintah's mountains. I love the great outdoors.
My Little Josh loving the camping trip.


Jaxon was so dirty this year camping...

he loved it mom wasn't washing his face all the time.

Josh at 2 months old he is already a little ham!

As most of you know we have been working on a new sprinkler system in the front yard. With my fathers help we have had some huge ditches. One day in June when it was raining so hard we soon realized we created a small swimming pool in our front yard. Jaxon, Ellsie and Lilly thought it was great fun!

My Little Tiny ELLSIE.....

She is so crazy and such a girl. I'm so used to Jax who is just so

mild mannered. Ellsie she knows what she wants and

yells until she gets it.

I have been blessed with three cute cute kids! They are so much fun!



Josh 2mths old and getting SOOO big!

My two best boys!



Jaxon at his preschool graduation! He said he wants to grow up to be a doctor so he can make lots of money!




Well that's about all I have time for, the kids are coming in and getting dressed. I knew the silence wouldn't last long. So far summer has been fun with a trip to the zoo, camping, swimming at my moms and an up coming trip to Sunvalley Idaho with the Nelson crew. I guess I better enjoy it all before I know it, snow will be on the ground. Jaxon is already telling me what he wants for Christmas. The very thought makes me want to throw up!

Joshua Robert Nelson

I know this is way over due but with three kids it seems like I never have a free moment. So here is my newest little one. He was born May 6th and weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 19 inches.

Jumpin Jacks!

We thought we would take Jaxon and Ellsie to Jumpin Jacks before I had the baby. We had a great time, Jed said it was one of the best work outs he's had. Jaxon Flying down the slide

Ellsie fell asleep on the way over, so we had to wake her up and she was not very happy. But once Jed took her down a couple of slides she was hooked.

Jed going head first.... crazy guy!

Jaxon and Jed taking a much needed rest.

Easter Weekend

The Nelson Family on Easter Sunday, yes I'm looking very large. Only 29 more days to go if I don't go early (please go early), thank goodness I'm so ready to be done with this pregnancy.

I had so many cute picture of the kids here's just a few!

Sunday morning, Jaxon was very excited and Ellsie loved collecting the eggs.

Christmas in Febuary!

My parents gave us an all paid trip (including watching of all the grand kids) to Lava Hot Springs Idaho for Christmas. We left on Friday and headed out for the hot pools, which I love. We have done this trip a couple of times now in the winter and it has always been something I look forward to. We took up two trailers and we camp out in the cold weather. Yes I know this sounds crazy but it's part of the fun. This year was the warmest, which made for very muddy feet, but we still had a great time. We got up there around 5:00 on Friday and went right for the pools. It has to be the best feeling, it's freezing outside and so so so warm in the water. After a couple of hours of sitting we all headed back to the camp and enjoyed some yummy pronto taco soup and played games. In the morning we made one more trip to the pools and then headed on home. We always like to stop at Maddox steak house on the way there or home this time we stop on the way home and enjoyed some yummy BEEF! It was all in all a great little getaway. It made me miss my kids and I was glad to get back home. If your every trying to find a winter vacation that is the best place. It's great for kids in the summer then they can enjoy the water park. Ryan enjoying his 32oz Porterhouse steak at Maddox, It was gone in about 10 minutes and he still wanted more.

A glimpse of warm weather!

I was bringing Jaxon and Gatlin home from preschool last week, and it was so nice outside we had to enjoy it! The Kids ran up up down the driveway for at least an hour. I finally had to drag them inside for some much needed lunch. I love being able to get outside, the kids have such a great time!

A long over due post!

So I know it's been awhile. Much has happened in the last couple of months. We celebrated Ellsie's First birthday, she is such a little cutie pie! Halloween was a blast and at Thanksgiving we made the wonderful announcement we will be expecting our third child in May! All of a sudden It's Christmas and I'm way behind. So as you may have all noticed I didn't get my Christmas cards out this year but I did make them with the intention of sending them. So here's your card on post form. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, and spend it with all your loved ones.

State Fun Fair!

I took Jaxon to the state fair last year and he has never stopped talking about it. So we headed out to the fair again luckily this year Jed was not working. Jaxon loves to see the animals my favorite our the pigs and bunnies!
Cute Jed, Jax and Ellsie taking a little drink stop!
Jaxon, Amy and my dad I think he is a little hungry or crazy!
A tree full a silly pears !
This is the best part of the fair, I didn't get to go last year because I was very pregnant with Ellsie. I didn't get a good picture of Jed and Jaxon coming down but this is them making the long trek up the stairs. It was very high up, and it didn't make it any better when we got to the top Brayden asked me if the slide fell down would we die. Oh kids some of the things they say.

Sunday best!

Ellsie and Jaxon looked so cute on Sunday, I of course had to have a photo session. I think Jaxon gets sick of me always wanting to take his picture. Oh well these turned out so cute, I'm so glad I have them.

Birthday Boy!

My little Jaxon is the big four, I can't believe it! I'm not sure where the time has gone. I wish I could just freeze time and keep him small. Jaxon had a great birthday we celebrated 3 times so by time it was all over, I was very happy but I think he just wanted more party time!
