IT SNOWED!!!!!

IT SNOWED in St. George last night, we woke up to a couple of inches. Caden was so excited when he looked out the window and there was snow on the ground and it was still snowing. A couple of Caden's friends (Brennon and Keaton) were coming over to play this morning so we decided to make a snow man when they got here. The kids loved it they had a ball playing in the fresh snow and look at that cute snow man. They were so proud of it and wanted to leave it up to show Chad when he got home from work, but it has been to warm and melted to much it tipped over at about three (Caden was so sad) so Chad will have to look at the pictures. This is about as much snow as I have ever seen in the 4 1/2 years that we have lived here. It was fun but I am ready for it to be warm again. I better go Caden just put Play-Doh up his nose.

Life is never dull with kids.

Black Friday Deal!!

My sister and I went shopping bright and early black Friday morning. We got some goods deals and had a lot of fun watching the thousands of people going crazy. We waited in line to check out at Wal-mart for over an hour and half and about forty five minutes at target. Don't go if you are in a hurry, there are lots of people and long lines but is so fun if you know what you are in for. I went and stood in line at Home Depot for a shop vac that Chad had to have, when they opened the doors several people went running to the Christmas trees. I then heard a worker say that they were 7.5 foot LED pre-lit trees originally $200.00 going for $49.99. I decided I need one since our old tree wasn't pre-lit and I dreaded putting it up because it took me so long to put the lights on. Needless to say I got there in the nick of time and got the last tree, I was worried that when we opened it it would look like a $50.00 tree, but we are so happy with it. It looks great and fits perfect in our little house. The tree was my best deal of the day but I also got some other good things and my sister went nuts and bought tons of stuff. It was a successful year and to all of you who have never tried shopping on black Friday morning you should at least once, it is kind of addicting and I look forward to it every year.

Caden has redecorated our tree a couple of times not to mention he was spinning and fell in it, that is why the bottom half is almost bare. What is Christmas for it you can't have some fun right!!!

Crazy, Crazy

This is such a crazy time of year. We have been keeping busy and our computer was doing something weird for a few days so I couldn't get on to blog. Chase is getting chubby chubby he is so fun and such a good baby, I don't know how we got so lucky. Caden still cant keep his hands off of him. It is so fun to watch Caden hold and talk to him, you can tell they already have a bond. Caden's birthday is next week and he cant wait, this is the first year were he understands what is going on. He is having a spider man birthday and everyday he asks when is Spider man party is. Santa is a big name in our house this year, Caden talks about Santa and how he is going to bring him Spider man, Iron man, Hulk, and Sandman (action figures). (My son is obsessed with marvel comics, just like his dad) If Caden is being naughty or isn't listening Chad will tell him that he will call Santa and tell him to take one of his toys away, Caden listens really quick puts his arm out to stop Chad and says "Don't call Santa Dad". It is so cute but what a mean thing to do. Kids are so fun especially this time of year when they get so excited I cant wait for Christmas morning. I hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Chase 4 Weeks old

Caden loves his Baby!!

Well time is going so fast Chase is 3 1/2 weeks and is growing like a weed. At his 2 week checkup Chase weighed 9lb 3oz so he gained over a pound in 2 weeks. Caden loves him to death almost to much he wont leave him alone. It is cute most of the time, but sometimes I just wish he would leave him alone. Good thing Chase his tough because Caden doesn't understand the word soft. It has been so fun to have a new baby in the house.

Welcome Chase

We had our baby, Chase Chad Nelson, October 23rd, 10:30 am.

He weighed 7 lb 13 oz, 20 3/4 inches long.

He is so cute and we are so glad he is here. He came really fast I was in labor for only 3 hours and the anastegologist got there 5 minutes before I had him so I felt everything. It was an experience to say the least but I would do it again to get such a sweet little thing. Chase and myself are doing really well he is such a good baby. Caden loves him to pieces and has handled this change really well. I will post more pictures later.

Staheli Farm

We went to Staheli Farm for family night, this has become our fall tradition. Caden loves it out there they have swings, slides, tractor rides, corn maze, and pumpkin patch were you can pick out your own pumpkin. They also have a little petting zoo of farm animals which Caden loved to see the baby pigs, chickens, goats, lambs, and roosters. What a fun place to visit if you are ever in St. George in October.
