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!

Painting on paper....

So Jed bought me my digital CLR camera and I kinda just forgot about my little digital camera. Anyway I found these pictures from a couple of months ago. Gatlin and Jaxon were painting with water colors and I was board.... so I thought it would be a great idea to paint there faces. Jaxon thought it was great fun but Gatlin didn't like it, he looked into the mirror with just the glasses on and started to get very upset about the whole thing. I finally calmed him down and at least got a picture of them. Jaxon of course then wanted to paint my face and hey why not, who knew water colors could be so much fun! It was a great day full of fun and laughter.

Nelson Family Camp out!

We had a great weekend of camping in the Unitas. We stayed in the Soap stone campground which was very nice, although the bathrooms were very hard to breath in and take care of your business. Other then that the weather and lake were just perfect. It was great to get away from the heat and just relax for the weekend with family! The Nelson crew... so sad we missed Mel, Brad, Chloe, and Troy we love you guys!

Lindsey and Rachel playing in the cold lake water.
Cute Emily... I think this is her second appearance on the blog, you go girl!
Ellsie in her port a crib. She likes to eat to many things right now, so no crawling around. Thank goodness for the baby cage.
Cute Jaxon playing in the lake and loving it.

Blame the dog

My twin little boys! Gatlin had the shirt first and then my friend Lessa bought Jaxon one for his upcoming (fourth) birthday. So when Gatlin wore his, Jaxon of course needed to have his on. I think they both look so cute. It's so funny going places with the too of them, people always ask if they are twins. I explained what the shirt meant to Jaxon and now Jaxon's excuse for everything is the dog..... poor lilly!
As I was making this post, Jaxon saw the pictures and asked why Gatlin is taller then him.... Hmmm well my answer was "sorry buddy your mom and dad are short and you most likely will be a short guy". He thought about my answer for a minute and his reply was "I'll just were high shoes".
