The Kids Halloween Night. They had so much fun Trick-or-Treating.

Kids Pumkins

The Pumkin Kits were so fun, fast and easy. If you can't tell...Avery's is the Cat, Emerson's is the Pirate and Weston's is the Spider.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Avery's school field trip to May Farms

We had so much fun at May Farms! The kids got to feed animals, picked out a pumkin, took a hay ride and had a picnic. My kids did not want to leave....we were the last ones left.

My Little Japanese Princess

Emerson went to a birthday party on Saturday. They had there faces painted at Southlands and she wanted to be a Japanese Princess. As soon as she got home she ran upstairs and put on her halloween costume from last year. So here she is.......

Yikes and Gross

I am not sure if these are Hornets or Wasps but gross. These little fellows made a nest in the metal plate on our railing by the front door. But no worries we bought Hornet/Wasp spray and they are now gone. It was so freaky when we looked out the window and saw the little gathering!

All tuckered out

Weston was so cute today. He wanted to wear Emerson's sun glasses while he was watching T.V. Next thing I knew he had fallen asleep wearing them. It was so cute I had to grab my camera.

The Whole Fam.dam.ily

When we went home this summer, my brothers and sister were home at the same time...for only like 2 days. So we had to squeeze in family photo's. I have not seen them all yet, but my mom sent me this one.

So Presenting My Family.... The Nelson's

Castlewood Canyon State Park

For Labor Day Monday we went for a picnic and a hike. We went to Castlewood Canyon, which is so beautiful. It is only 30 min from our house and I can't believe we never new about it before. I am so glad that the Stock's and Toloczko's took us there. It was a beautiful day and we had such a great time.

First Day of School

Wow did summer ever fly by! August 18th was Emerson's first day of 3rd grade. I can't even believe that she is in 3rd grade! It was a crazy morning and so of course I forgot my camera. So I took it with me when we went to pick her up and took a few pictures of her and the kids at the school field.

August 21st was Avery's first day of Preschool. I took a few shots of her on the way to the school...oh my little girl looks so grown up, but also so little because her school bag is as big as she is...haha

The kids both love their teachers and are really enjoying it so far. My little cuties!

VEGAS BABY!

My Mom and Dad are so amazing! They came and watched our kids for a week so Peter and I could get away and have some alone time. I must say it was SO great. I am sure all you parents agree that it is needed every once in awhile. We went to Utah first and then Las Vegas. Our friends Tony and AnnJanne came and hooked up with us in Vegas.

Thanks Mom and Dad..I LOVE YOU!

Some of our adventures in Canada!!

Here is Weston giving his best hit.Grandma Nelson made a pinata for all her grandkids. You Rock Grandma!!!
We took a day trip to Waterton National Park. They have these fun bikes you can rent and ride around the town.....super fun!

Emerson and Hunter dressed up as pirates and road there bikes in the Canada Day parade. They won second place and got a $15 check each! ARRRRRR
We had a lot of fun at The Ridge boating. Me, Emerson and Haruka on the tube.
We went with Peter's family to Calaway Park and we all left with major sugar buzzes from cotton candy. GOOD TIMES!!
This was so cool! You hook it up to your garden hose and you had 2 water slides, 2 water guns and a wading pool......it was a blast for the kids.
Here is Emerson cruising around with her uncle Chad.
Here is Avery grinning from ear to ear. The kids all went horse back riding and loved it.Weston cried and screamed when we took him off.

2nd Place

IF you see the post below, it was crazy hair day this week. Emerson won second place out of the whole school, she was so excited!

Crazy Hair Day!!

Today was Crazy Hair Day at school. Emerson really wanted to do something fun...she wants to win the contest. So this is what we came up with. 7 chops sticks, 24 colorful hair elastics, 8 bobby pins, hair gel and lots of hairspray. It was FUN!

Last summer my sister had there family pictures taken when they were back in Canada. The photographer submitted this picture of my nephew to the magazine and it is on the cover of the May/June issue. So don't forget to grab yourself a copy....he is dang cute!

What a Girl - What a Grin

Emerson came home from school today covering her mouth and handed me a little treasure box with a note that said " Look inside me". There was her little tooth..FINALLY.. Her tooth has been hanging on for days now because she decided to let it fall out all by itself. I was so scared that she was going to swallow it in her sleep last night. I just love this toothless grin!

Emerson's new haircut!

We cut Emerson's hair a few weeks ago, but she has been wanting me to post this so Grandma and Nana could see. It has not been this short since she was like 3 years old. I know it is not that short but she wanted to keep it really long, so I was very surprised when she asked me to cut it. I really love it and it is easy to do.

BEFORE






AFTER

Just When it was starting to grow!

I found Avery , scissors in hand cutting her hair again. I am so glad I found her before she cut to much. Her bangs are really short again and I had to take off a little on the side. LITTLE STINKER!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Peter.....hope you have the best day. We Love you!!!
