Kysen's Blessing Day!

Kysen was blessed November 25th 2012.  Both Chad and my families came to St. George for Thanksgiving that week so we thought that would be the perfect time to bless him.  Everyone in both of our families were able to come and that made it so special!!

Kysen was blessed by his Dad in our home ward.

Halloween 2012

We had a fun Halloween this year.  It was Kysen's first Halloween and our fist Halloween in our new neighborhood.  We went trick or treating around the neighborhood and had a lot of fun.  The kids had several parties throughout the week with church and school so we got to celebrate all week long!!

Chase's 4th Birthday!!

The night before Chase's Birthday we went to Red Lobster where he got to get a birthday cake and have the waiters sing to him.  He was on cloud 9!!

On Chase's birthday it just so happened that that was the day his teachers scheduled me to come help in his class.  It was so fun to watch him do his school activities and then pass out his treat and have the 

kids sing to him.  He loves the attention!!

 The night of Chase's birthday Grandma and Grandpa Nelson and Kori came over for Pizza, Presents, and cake.  Chase couldn't wait to open his presents.  Chase got Jake and Never Land Prirate Boat, Dinosaurs, Madagascar 3 movie, castle, blanket. and clothes.  He had a GREAT birthday!!

 Chase's favorite present was the pirate ship.  He had had his eye on that at Costco for weeks!

 Chase's Toy Story cake!!

Caden Karate

Caden started karate at Ace Karate back in August.  The end of October Caden passed his yellow best test. Caden has really enjoyed doing Karate and is quite good at it (fighting comes natural to him).  

Kysen's 5 days old Newborn Pictures

Kysen

 Our Sweet Baby Kysen was born September 19th 2012.  He came early and fast.  My due date was Sept 28th, Dr Astle first said he would induce me on the 24th so my Mom and Dad could be down here for his birth.  I went to the Dr on the 18th and was dilated to a 3 and 75% effaced so they changed my induction date to the 21st because he knew I wouldn't make it to the 24th.  Kysen had plans of his own on Wed the 19th I started the day off just like any other.  Grandma Nelson took Chase for a day at Grandmas and I laid around most of the day.  I didn't feel great but didn't think I was going to have a baby that day.  Around 3pm I started to feel contractions about every 5 min but nothing that hurt.  I went and picked up Caden from school at 3:30pm and by the time I got home the contractions were bringing tears to my eyes.  I called Chad and told him to hurry home, by the time he made it home I was miserable.  We got to the hospital around 4:30 and I had Kysen and 6:16pm.  He was in a hurry to get here.  I was able to have the epideral this time for the last 20min or so so that made me a HAPPY GIRL!   He is such a good baby and we are so Happy he is in our family.  Caden and Chase are love having a baby brother and are such good helpers.

 Poor little guy was so bruised and swollen from coming so fast.  He wasn't as big as he looks here.

Kysen's first bath at home.  He loves to get his hair washed!!
