About TIME!

2009-07-16T16:27:00.000-07:00

So i know its been a while but here are some new posts! Our lives have been so crazy with working and everything that I have put blogging on the back burner but I had a little extra time today at work so here you go....

And there is more to come....Please don't be overwhelmed!

Shopping at the DI

2009-07-16T15:02:00.001-07:00

We love shopping at the DI there is always a great find! These hats weren't totally a necessity but fun all the same! And lucky for us there was 4 of them! One for each of us! I made my mom wear one while we shopped... she didn't find it too fun but I thought it was hilarious, and Sydnee enjoyed it! Sydnee couldn't wait till we got home to give daddy his!

Kaeson is not so sure of his new accessory!

Ok... I think it is growing on him!

SmOoChInG sIbLiNgS!

2009-07-16T14:25:00.000-07:00

My babies get along so well... having them close is crazy but i would never change it!

Making Brownies!

2009-07-16T14:06:00.000-07:00

I JUST LOVE DIRTY FACED BABIES!

I worked up such a thirst!

What Brownies...???

We love the batter!

YUMMY!

Completely satisfied!

Hangin' out with some new friends!

2009-07-16T13:09:00.000-07:00

I recently started working for Hearts and Hands homecare Taking care of this really sweet lady that has two adorable grandkids, Kyree age 5 and Ashlin age 3. I am able to take Sydnee and Kaeson to work with me if I need to, well Syd has made friends with Kyree and Ashlin, She really likes there play kitchen, and there Cadillac Escalade power wheels. Sydnee is not so sure about the swimming but she likes to put her feet in and splash with the girls in their indoor pool and hot tub. I am so glad Sydnee has got some fun friends to play with

Mother's Day!

2009-07-16T12:16:00.000-07:00

This year was an awesome Mother's Day! I have the two best gifts in all the world! We had a BBQ at our house for my family and for Drew's family... both went well and we had a ton of fun! Sorry I don't have any pics from Drew's family!

This year Patty, Amy, my dad, and myself all went in on getting my mom's car detailed...we get them done at Curtis Brough if you wanted to know and they do an amazing job! Tell them i sent you! Anyway her car was her moms before she passed away, so my mom cares a lot for this car. She loved the car and she refuses to let dirt get on it! My dad bought my mom a new a grill so they gave us their old one ( we are so not against hand-me-downs)!

Drew gave me a tanning pass for Mother's day! So nice of him!

Just have to add this! I have the best mommy and mother-in-law in the world!

Jace doing what he absolutly loves to do... playing with sis! They could play with this wagon for hours!

Drew showing off his mad grilling skills on his new used grill!

Hey Brandon! Thats my mom's grill!

The Finish product! The inside looked amazing!

Playing at the Park!

2009-07-16T12:01:00.000-07:00

Having a play date with the Amy, Brandon, Chaz, Jace!

Ridin' Around!

2009-07-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

One of our favorite little outdoor activities is going for a nice bike ride... even though we don't get to do it as much as we would like due to work and I'm just too lazy! Kaeson and Sydnee are best buds and they love being together!

See ya later!
Kaeson really does like it he just doesn't show too many emotions...ha ha ha just kidding have you seen how much this kid smiles? I think he is just bugged with how long it takes his mommy to get things ready! This face shows.... are we ready yet?

Easter 2009

2009-07-16T11:06:00.000-07:00

This easter was awsome! I was trying to get Sydnee all hyped for the Easter Bunny! I told her that he was going to come and hide all the eggs she colored and then leave her candy... Sydnee started crying and said "I don't want him to take my eggs!" I explained to her how it all works, she still seemed upset till Easter when she woke up and the Easter Bunny had hidden all of the eggs we colored... She thought that was cool finding all the eggs.

Kaeson was so funny! He wanted to eat the eggs more than he wanted to color them! but he loved playing in the plastic eggs! We went to Tremonton's egg hunt and it was so windy and so cold that Drew just held Kaeson while me and Sydnee got eggs and we left in a hurry cause Sydnee kept saying "I freezing"!

Then the day before Easter we always go over to my parents house and color more eggs. Drew was at work so thats why we colored some at our house so we could do it as a family!

Hangin' with cousin Kayce!

2009-07-16T10:57:00.000-07:00

We had my Niece Kayce come and stay the weekend with us and we all had a Blast!

Big Girl Talk!

2009-02-16T14:12:00.000-08:00

Since Sydnee learned to talk she has always said Da Woe for thank you and we have never corrected it because I love it so much... In fact it got the whole family saying it and it becomes a habit when we go to a restaurant and the waiter/waitress brings me my meal I say Da woe! My friend Abbey has told me repeatedly... Not every one knows what Da Woe means. I forget. Last Night I told Sydnee to tell her daddy thank you for dinner and I about cried when the words THANK YOU were spoken. I told Drew that she is growing up! But Sydnee is not dumb and she knows that we love Da woe so she will throw it in with a smile!

Luv a Luv a Luv a You!

2009-02-11T13:01:00.000-08:00

When I was a little girl my dad would always say to me I luv a luv a luv a you Clicker Dawn! It was our saying and even as I was growing up I never got tired of the saying. In fact it always brightened my day when he would sneak in a little luv a luv a luv a you Clicker Dawn before I would go somewhere or to bed.
I waited for the day when I could share the same connection that my dad and I had with my own little girl... I finally got it! Sydnee has been a talking machine and sometimes you wonder if she is going to shut up....even just for a minute. But it never tires when I am frustrated with her or trying to do something when she smiles and says "luv a luv a luv a you MOMMY!"
You can't stay mad at that!!! Especially when she adds in... "I wanna kiss you mommy"

I could never have imagined the joys of motherhood until I became a mother myself, I am so content and happy... we have a wonderful little family!

Cousin FUN!

2009-02-10T14:58:00.000-08:00

During the Superbowl Sydnee and Jace really where nowhere to be seen. They were off playing by themselves... They surprised us with there own little business..." Making ice cream and Sydnee Oats" What wonderful imaginations kids have!

CROUP!

2009-02-10T14:48:00.000-08:00

We took Sydnee to the doctor last night to an after hours visit. She has croup...Its going around bad! I didn't know much about croup until last night but she is on a steroid and Tylenol for her fevers. She is doing OK she just gets these little coughing spells and has a hard time catching her breath after. Sydnee was so sick she was having mommy wait on her hand and foot. She got breakfast in bed, and enjoyed her new movie Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa.

Kaeson's new Do!

2009-02-10T14:37:00.000-08:00

Kaeson has got some super blond hair and he doesn't have much of it. But he had a huge mo hawk and it was time for me to part with the little bit of hair he did have...

Bumping up and Down in my Lil Red Wagon!

2009-02-10T14:26:00.000-08:00

Sydnee has this old Barney movie that we bought her...compliments to the DI. This movie is like when Barney first became a hit when I was little, the Barney in it is a super dark purple and the acting is really bad, but that doesn't matter to Syd she loves it! They have a lot of songs on it that she has now picked up and sings all the time... One being "Bumping Up and Down In My Little Red Wagon" Here she is dragging her little brother into her play time and singing the entire time!

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!?

2009-02-10T13:39:00.000-08:00

Superbowl XXXVIII Cardinals vs. Steelers!

Well I lost a six pack of sprite to my dad but it was fun anyway! We went to my parents and had hogies and lots of treats!

Drew's New Do!

2009-02-08T13:30:00.000-08:00

Drew wanted to see how long he could grow his hair.... It was pretty long but then he couldn't take it any more. He refuses to let me make an appointment for his hair....so I braved it and cut his hair. I say braved it because my husband is a little picky about how he likes his hair cut and previous times... he has ended up doing it himself or being bald!

I have to admit I did pretty good this time because I only had to fix two things! Yea me!

Kaeson's 6 month check up

2009-02-08T13:22:00.000-08:00

Just thought I would share Kaeson's 6 month doctor visit.
He is 19 lbs 6 oz.....What a chunk!

He is 26 3/4"

75% for his weight, 50% for head circum. and height.

He is scooting and rolling all over the place!

He growls to get your attention!

He is always smiling!!!

He is super squishy!...That is what everyone says.... I just want to squish him!

The pediatrician says that Kaeson is defiantly thriving and he wants me to stop starving him....he he he Lil joke!

Making Changes

2009-01-25T12:45:00.000-08:00

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1....HAPPY NEW YEAR!

For my New Years resolutions...

To be a better house wife
To be a better mother
Pay bills off
Lose weight
Develop balance in my life (schedule myself better)

Being a better house wife and mother:

Drew went to Colorado for a week and a half and I didn't think I could miss someone so bad but while he was gone I took that time to get our crazy house in order...organize and seriously clean...thanks to the help of my very best friends Todd and Abbey! At least the upstairs and I am still working out the kinks in our dungeon basement!!! Before Drew left the house was a wreck...dirty laundry...dirty dishes...um...dirty everything. I hate feeling that out of control I feel like a bad mom and wife and I fall into depression. So like I said my friend Abbey helped me out and we got my house clean! To a normal house wife this sounds silly... I know... but I have been spending more time with my kids, the house is clean and being cleaned on a regular schedule! Instead of sitting on my butt when the kids take a nap I do a load of laundry, wash dishes or sweep! I feel so much better about myself and Drew doesn't have to stress when he gets home from work!

2. Losing Weight:
Well we are still working on that... I have a minor addiction to food, so that's a slow process, but I did give up pop for almost 2 weeks....thanks to inspiration from Abbey!

3.Paying bills off:
Well we are working on that too! Its another slow process and well we have had a few bumps but we can do it! I have been begging Drew to cut hours down or to quit his second job...prayers answered.... his hours got cut and now I get to see my honey more!!! Drew has been begging me to quit my job at auto Liv and they have been doing some layoffs. Our company ZDD didn't get it so Drew wanted me to quit... as I was thinking what I would say to my boss... the phone rang....we got laid off!!!! YES! Another prayer answered (goes to show that Heavenly Father does listen) We are spending more time as a family and cutting back on unnessicaries!

4. Developing Balance:
Amy has been trying to help me out with getting my life in order cause of my recent senior moments and losing things. I found Drew's debit card...Abbey found my wedding ring and we are still looking for my car keys....baby steps...baby steps! With the house being organized its not hard to find what my scatter brain leaves behind! We have our kids on a set schedule and life is good!
Thank you to all of you that help me out!!!

Hangin' out with Family!

2009-01-25T12:36:00.000-08:00

Last night we went to my sister Patty's house for a delightful spaghetti dinner! (cause its my favorite) Andrew's son AJ has mentioned to Patty that she is the best cook in the UNIVERSE!!! I have to agree...Thanks...It was wonderful! Its not often we get to see her and she only lives in Layton....what a piece of crap sister I am! We had so much fun with her, Andrew, Kenzie, Kayce, Dylan, and AJ. We missed you Jesse! I want to make it a #1 Rule that Drew and I will spend more time with our families! Family is important and they will always be there for you! Thanks again Patty...lets get together again!

Sis' Owie :(

2009-01-17T17:25:00.000-08:00

Drew went out of town to Colorado for work, so we were spending a lot of time at Abbey's house so we weren't lonely or scared....I'm a bit of a scariedy cat! The day that Drew left we went to pick up Abbey and Cache so they could spend some time with us at our house. Sydnee is not the most graceful and she tripped as we were leaving. Abbey's front door is old fashioned and is the really heavy wood. Sydnee tripped and hit the flat side of the door. She hardly ever cries so when she did I knew she was hurt. I picked her up to love her and Abbey said "Oooh that's a big bump." I thought it would have just been a red mark but it instantly gave her a goose egg and turned purple. In the first picture, I took that 30 seconds after she fell! I freaked out!!! She stopped crying within a couple of minutes but kept saying "Mommy it hurts." So I took her to the Emergency Room. Luckily everything was ok, if anything maybe a slight concussion.... they couldn't really tell. She had just broke some blood capillaries in her forehead, which caused it to puff up and bruise. She is doing ok and the swelling went down the next day. We love our lil cluts!

Best Buddies!!

2009-01-17T17:19:00.000-08:00

When we had Kaeson we were worried about Sydnee being Jealous and that is not the case at all! Kaeson and Sydnee are best friends! Sydnee can't do anything without Kaeson being involved. She is always trying to feed him. I left the room the other day only for a moment to return to Kaeson having chocolate all over his face! Sydnee was sharing her candy with him. When we drive in the truck their car seats have to be side by side and the kids will fall asleep holding each others hands. It melts my heart how much they love each other. Kaeson just laughs so hard when Sydnee hugs him or even just walks into the room.

Christmas '08

2009-01-17T16:58:00.000-08:00

This was the funnest Christmas ever! I had my two wonderful babies and my wonderful husband! We had a Christmas party on Christmas Eve at my parents house, and that is my favorite tradition. We always have a dinner and then we write our name on our logs and what we would like Santa to bring to us. So when we throw the log in the fire then the smoke will send a signal to Santa, telling him what we want. It is so much fun for our family to get together and just be crazy as you can tell with my dad! He always does something fun...anything to get us to laugh.

My dad always wishes Jesus a Happy Birthday on Christmas Eve, so Amy had this really good idea that we would sing happy birthday to him. I hope we can keep that tradition going! It was so much fun when we woke up Christmas morning and Santa had come and brought the kids so many cool new toys! I loved watching Sydnee opening her presents so slowly, one little piece of paper at a time! As she opened each of her presents she looked up at us and said, I LOVE IT! Da woe! (Thank you) Kaeson was so cute he loved the shiny paper and would rip a piece and try to eat it! I got a new i-pod and gift card! Drew and the kids all got so stinken spoiled! Unfortunately we left our camera at my mom & dad's house on Christmas Eve so we weren't able to get any pictures Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas from the Nielson's!

2008-12-22T13:35:00.000-08:00

Drew, Sydnee, Kaeson, and Amanda

She Loves her Daddy!

Over the hills and through the woods... to Grandmother's house we go!

2008-12-22T13:34:00.000-08:00

Every year we make the trip to Cub River to go to my Grandma and Grandpa's house for a Christmas party! Its so much fun to get us all together and to be quite honest we are all a little loony! We enjoy a big dinner and wonderful pie! Then we exchange gifts... This year my dad and Aunt Linda had a really cute idea to play a game so no one knew what their gifts were...like a white elephant gift. You had to draw a name out of a bucket and the name that you drew was to help you with the question you drew out. If you got the question right then you got your gift...which everyone got their gift cause they were questions about our crazy family!!! So then after you got your gift you were supposed to grit your teeth in a smile and say " I LOVE IT!" It was the cutest thing, Sydnee got a stuffed penguin and when she pulled it out of the bag she said "Bird!" then without any coaxing she said "I LOVE IT!" That is a memory I will never forget! Thanks for making it a great party Dad and Aunt Linda!

Our Beautiful Babies!

2008-12-22T13:18:00.000-08:00

Drew's Surprise B-day Party!

2008-12-22T13:17:00.000-08:00

In the three years that Drew and I have been married we have not had the money or the chance to celebrate our birthdays in a fun way... Well the money part has not changed and neither has the time but I scheduled it in anyway! I really wanted to do something fun for Drew.

Drew works very hard for our family and hardly ever has a day off. Working seven days a week really takes a toll on him and we have very little time to get to see one another. Drew is a very sentimental guy and family means the world to him! We hadn't had the time to go visit Drew's family too much and I feel so bad because they are amazing people and I love each and every one of them dearly! I knew that Drew would have the best birthday if he could spend it with his family so I lied and schemed and threw together a SURPRISE birthday party! I have always wanted to do a party like that...you know where you hide and actually say "SURPRISE"!!! Well it all worked out we even got to yell surprise... I thought he would cuss if we scared him...nope Kaeson got the surprise and started screaming! We had his parents, my parents, Amy and her family, Layne and his family, our friend Abbey, and her son cache. Our little house was packed. We had Drew's favorite Turkey steaks and rice-o-roni! Abbey did most of the cooking but I did the rice and well I need cooking lessons cause I don't know how I manage to get it mushy and crunchy at the same time!? Drew told me later on after everyone had left with tear filled eyes that this was the best birthday he had had in a long time! ...Success!... Thank you for everyone that came and for keeping it a surprise I appreciate you all and love you all very much!

Thanks Papa Richard

2008-12-22T13:16:00.000-08:00

My dad had these little lunch boxes that we used for my Grandma Naef's Christmas party and Sydnee was playing with them...when it was time to put them back she thought it was the end of the world so my dad had this little make-up kit just lying around and said can she have this...I said sure, not knowing what I was getting myself into! I knew she liked to pretend to put her make-up on when I did mine but I didn't know she loved it that much!!! I went downstairs to put in a load of laundry when I returned this is what I found! She says..."Face" "Pretty". I couldn't get mad I just smiled and said hold still we are taking pictures!!! She had to give Kaeson Kisses after and I was laughing so hard cause it doesn't look like kiss marks at all just little blobs all over the side of his head! That wasn't the only time either she has done this two or three times and when you walk in she says "Way!" which means go away. She knows its not something I love for her to do but I allow it cause they are only little once...

A Great Company To Be a Part of!

2008-12-22T13:15:00.000-08:00

This is B&D Welding and Fab.'s Christmas cards and I had the privelege as the secretary to address, lick, and mail them out! Drew and I love our job, I don't work near as much or as hard as Drew does there, but its always fun to go into work and give stinky Brandon a hard time... While the economy is having a hard time and people are being let go from their jobs, Drew and I are very greatful to have a job, to have a large work load at that, and to work for an amazing company as B&D. Thanks Stinky Brandon!

Hangin' out with Daddy!

2008-12-22T13:08:00.001-08:00

I work three nights a week for a company called ZDD. And when I go to work that is the kids time with their Daddy! I wish I could just get them to fall asleep on me that easy! They love their daddy and you have never seen a prouder daddy!!!

Kaeson loves his cereal!

2008-12-22T12:54:00.000-08:00

Kaeson hit four months and I knew he was ready to eat baby cereal! He looks like he has been eating it since day one! He is such a chubby butt! He is so cuddly I love it. He is such a happy baby and a good baby too! We are very blessed parents. All Sydnee needs to do is give him hugs and he is laughing hysterically! He loves his big sis, and she loves him as well...I love it when i catch them watching a movie in there room and Sydnee has got him by the hand cuddling with him. My favorite is when she says "Hi baby" Boo Baby" I u baby! (I LOVE YOU) I love my little drew!!!! When people see Kaeson they tell me how crazy it is that he looks so much like Drew!

Sydnee and her favorite eating spots!

2008-12-22T12:45:00.000-08:00

You never know where Sydnee is going to eat her meals...she thinks that she is too big for the high chair on most days. She picks different places in the house to eat...at this particular time her tricycle suited her just lovely!

Sydnee's 2nd Birthday

2008-12-22T12:26:00.000-08:00

For Sydnee's birthday she wanted an Elmo theme...do you think I could find a stinken Elmo cake anywhere...NO! So I went out of my comfort zone and made Sydnee an Elmo cake! Then I got so into it that I made the kids mini Elmo cupcakes!!! I even made my own frosting and I must say...it tasted good!!! She got so many presents...Grandma asked if it was Christmas or what? She had a blast and was so cute...thanking everyone!

Beautiful Hair!!!

2008-12-22T12:11:00.000-08:00

Can you believe that she sits through 45 minutes of this!? But doesn't she look beautiful!? Its so worth it...and every time I am done doing her hair she says....Da-woa! (Thank you...in Sydnee language.)

Halloween!

2008-12-22T11:59:00.000-08:00

Halloween this year was so much fun! The costume that Sydnee is wearing was Chaz's and Jace's when they were little, and it was intended for Kaeson. It was a little to big for him and when Sydnee saw it she said that she wanted to be a pumpkin, so we had to buy Kaeson another pumpkin costume. We had a great idea that Drew and I would be farmers and our kids were our crops!!!! Ha Ha Ha I thought we were creative!!!

Dance and Gymnastics

2008-12-22T11:43:00.000-08:00

Sydnee has been going to Tangle Wood Studios for a mommy and me dancing and gymnastics class for about three months now and LOVES it! She is always dancing around showing off what she has learned and doing her favorite...Motor boat! Its so much fun to get to spend that time with just my Sydnee, Kaeson goes to my mothers house cause he doesn't so much like the dancing stuff!

Gymnastics/Dance

2008-10-24T14:47:00.000-07:00

I really wanted to get Sydnee involved in something that she could have fun, meet new little kids, and learn a lot of new stuff. I asked Drew what he thought about putting her in gymnastics when she turned two and Sydnee was sitting right by us when we were dicussing it and she got a huge smile and said "uh Huh!" Drew's only reply was..."I can't argue with that." So we enrolled her in a mommy and me Gymnastic and dancing class.

So this is the first week that she went and she really enjoyed the gymnastics part of it. They have mats all over the room, a tiny trampoline, beams, bars, and a fun slide! In fact the whole time we were supposed to be dancing she asked if she could "pump" on the trampoline in the other room. The other ladies said that she would get more involved the more that she comes. I thought that she did pretty good considering that the other kids have been going for a while now and that all but one girl is older than Sydnee. Kaeson on the other hand... we better find a sitter for him next time. That was his time to eat and well its not easy to be in a mommy and me class when the mommy is absent and taking care of him.

I can't wait for next week so Sydnee and I can have some quality time together and she can learn some more dancing moves!

A Favorite Memory

2008-10-23T12:02:00.000-07:00

I have this memory and some might think that I am dumb or that I am silly but it means a lot to me and I get an overwhelmingly good feeling every time I think about it.

When I was little my mom and dad worked full time and I went to a babysitter while Patty and Amy went to school. Then when I was old enough to go to Kindergarten Amy was then old enough to watch me and help me get to school. I will never ever forget how she prepared me for that first day of Kindergarten...

The night before she carefully helped me pick out an outfit...we laid out my clothes, my jewelry, and matching shoes. So there was no question in what I should wear for the next day. Then she set the alarm and we practiced waking up to it and ran through my routine of how she would get me ready and how the bus would come pick me up.

Some times I get this really overwhelming feeling and its the same feeling that I used to get when Amy would help me get ready for school in the morning. When she moved out I tried to keep up the routine the same way she had taught me but it was hard without her. Like I said it might be silly to some but its a memory I will never forget! I know that when Sydnee and Kaeson have their first day of Kindergarten I will take the same routine in which I was taught and pass it down to them.

Amy acted like a mother to me for a lot of my childhood and she still mothers me from time to time. But now that I am a mother also she and I can be best friends and share memories with our kids.

MAN COLD!

2008-10-21T14:39:00.000-07:00

Ladies beware!
There is a man cold sweeping the nation! Its highly contagious and can be very deadly! Please keep your husbands, boyfriends, and significant others indoors at all times and for goodness sake keep lots of Theraflu on hand.
You thought that it was difficult when your kids were ill...that doesn't even compare! Some of the signs and symptoms that you need to be aware of:

A headache worst than yours!
Feeling dizzy anytime house work needs to be done!
Too weak to change a diaper.
Can't cook pre-cooked meals.
Feeling nauseated more than your morning sickness!!!

They really need to start a hotline for all of the women who have had their husbands hit with this deadly cold! Please please if you get sick don't let on about it...or your husband will get it worse!

Sick Babies

2008-10-20T15:17:00.001-07:00

My kids and I all got hit with a nasty cold! Its been nothing but Kleenex, boogers, medicine, and lots of hugs in our house!

Look at that face! Don't you just wanna squeeze him!?

More Painting???

2008-10-20T15:02:00.000-07:00

Drew and I got into a huge paint fight. I guess we hadn't had enough fun painting already so Drew decided to paint me! I tried to paint back...but he fights dirty! Then he made me go into the grocery store to buy kleenex for our kids. You would not believe the stares you get when you are in a paint war!

More Painting!

2008-10-20T14:39:00.000-07:00

Last year we had a new roof put on the house that we rent and they had to rebuild the front porch. Well it needed to be painted BAD! So after painting the shop then we got home and painted the porch, once again we had great help! Well I didn't do much...

Drew saved a side of the post for each kid to do. Chaz helped with the top of the porch, well because I hate to admit it but...he's taller than me!

Jace and Sydnee both hate their hands to be dirty. Jace is a great helper and took the responsibility to clean her up for me!

Brandon has been really busy with getting the new shop ready, so he can move his business. My job has been to get the painting done in mine and Brandon's office. Amy was out of town for the weekend so I helped with the boys. We loaded up all the kids and a bunch of toys and they didn't play with a single one of them! Instead I got the best bunch of painters that I could of asked for!

Ater Drew got off work he came and helped us out. None of us could reach the corners...I forgot a ladder!

All about Sydnee

2008-10-15T18:47:00.000-07:00

Some of Sydnee's favorite songs...that we sing...and we sing...and we sing....

The wheels on the bus

If you're happy and you know it

Monster Mash

I want candy

All I want to do (Sugarland)

She thinks my tractor's sexy (Kenny Chesney)

Her own lil song about mommy, daddy, baby, and the rest of the family...you just have to hear it.

Any song that comes on the radio she is grooving and moving to and belting out the lyrics...well I think its the lyrics!

And any thing can be a microphone! I think she is the next American Idol!

Splish! Splash!

2008-10-15T18:36:00.001-07:00

Bath time is a favorite time at our house! And Sydnee loves her bubbles!!!

I can't get lil Sydnee to smile at a camera... I pull it out and she says....CHEESE!

Best Buddies!

2008-10-15T18:24:00.000-07:00

Kaeson, Cache, and Sydnee
Who do you think will win? My vote is for Kaeson...

I think Cache is a little upset...what do you think?

What did you do with my husband!?

2008-10-15T18:03:00.000-07:00

What a shock! I didn't know whether to laugh or scream when I saw Drew! He has been painting I-Beams at work and well it was a tad bit windy one day and he spent more time painting himself than the beams!

Oh there he is! A hot shower and a whole tub of fast orange later...then i found him!

Haunted Houses!

2008-10-01T19:56:00.000-07:00

Tonight we decorated these gingerbread haunted houses. I was so bumbed out cause on our house, half the roof was broken but it added character! We just let Sydnee go to town on it but she was like a lil Gretel and eating more of the house than we could really decorate! I just love Halloween, especially now that I have kids, and Sydnee is just at a really fun age and little things just make her day. Amy's families house was way cute! The boys do such a good job at stuff like that...they have really creative minds!

Kaeson at 2 months

2008-10-01T19:48:00.000-07:00

Today I took Kaeson to his 2-month appointment and he is now 13 lbs and 24 in! What a growing boy! The doctor says that he is just thriving and he just so cute! He is just such a happy boy and always smiling.

Kaeson's Blessing

2008-10-01T19:43:00.000-07:00

On Sunday Drew blessed our tiny son! It was so beautiful and Drew did such a wonderful job. Being a the big boob that I am, I listened and just sobbed and all the wonderful things that Drew blessed on him.

We had a dinner afterward at the church and being the doofus that I am I started to burn the sloppy joes so I turned them down on low...or so I thought. The Sloppy Joes were cold!!! I didn't hear any complaints... that's a relief! Everything was really nice and it was a great day to have my whole family together on a Sunday... I miss them days.

Drew's mom made his little tux for him. She did such a great job!!

Catching up...

2008-09-25T16:25:00.000-07:00

Sorry its been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would catch you all up. We have been so so so busy lately! Drew is always working to support our family and I just started a secretarial position for B & D Welding and Fab Inc. and so far I love it! I can basically do it on my own time...that is till I get fully trained but I can also take my kids cause the office is right outside of my sister Amy's house so the boys are always playing with my kids. Sydnee is just learning so much, everyday she learns something new and she is always surprising us! She talks sooo much and the real trick is getting her to shut up...even for a second! Kaeson is getting so big you would not believe he was born 7lbs. 9 oz. he is a CHUNK! But so much fun! We are blessing him on Sunday September 28th and we are so excited! Drew is pretty nervous he wants to be sure he is listening to everything that Heavenly Father wants to bless Kaeson with. I promise that I will have some way cute pics of him in his tux that Grandma Arta made him! We are going to be doing family pics soon so I will get them posted asap.

Kaeson at 2 weeks.

Box Elder County Fair!

2008-08-28T14:46:00.000-07:00

We went to the BE County fair and let Sydnee ride some of the rides. Her favorite rides were the choo-choo and the carousel! But the choo-choo was only fun with Jace... the carnival people kinda scared her!

The new addition!

2008-08-28T14:00:00.001-07:00

Kaeson David Nielson was born on July 30th 2008 he was 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 19 inches. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, and very healthy! We went in about 7 a.m. to get checked into the hospital and get prepped for surgery. They took us back and i heard them say we will start at 9:11 and at 9:21 Kaeson was here! Every thing went really well, except for the fact that i was more aware of what they were doing so it hurt a little more this time and that Drew had to see how clean the OR floor was... he was fine after a few minutes. Recovery was a thousand times easier this time and i had a lot of help from my family. Amy and my mom took Sydnee while I was staying in the hospital and then Arta (Drew's mom) took Sydnee for a week after that to give me a chance to heal and to bond with our new lil' one!

A very excited big sis!
Sydnee was just so excited when she saw his "diggies"! (piggies...toes)

Our precious lil boy!

Hooked up to the monitors just before surgery!

Tremonton Days/ Baby Contest

2008-08-28T13:48:00.000-07:00

Sydnee was in the baby contest and won cutest hair!
The Tremonton days had some really fun blow up jumpy things but Sydnee was too little for all the rough kids, we found one that no one was at and just let her play in it... She loves to "BUMP".

Daddy and Sydnee playing on the Slide.

Gardening

2008-08-28T13:29:00.000-07:00

We didn't know that Sydnee would like peas soooo much! She help pick, shell, and eat the peas! When the ones she had were all gone she would run to the garden yelling "other one"!

The Glover Reunion

2008-08-28T13:22:00.001-07:00

Sydnee and her second cousin Brooke.
The whole Glover Clan!

Planting Flowers

2008-08-28T13:13:00.000-07:00

Sydnee really got into helping us with the yard work so we went and bought her a flat of flowers just for her and let her plant them in her very own pot! Of course she wanted to pick the flowers after she planted them but it was her pot so we didn't care!

Summer Fun

Sydnee at the Park

2008-05-22T18:50:00.000-07:00

We took Sydnee to the park for some family fun! Sydnee loves playing on the swings and the slide but she wore her favorite shoes and they are like crocs, well there was sand at the park and she had to keep cleaning off her diggies! (That is piggies or toes in Sydnee language)

Catching up!

2008-05-22T18:31:00.000-07:00

Well this is what has been happening in our lives...
Sydnee is now 18 months old and more crazy than ever! She talks and talks and talks! Most of the time its just chinese talk, but she knows what she is saying!

Drew is working all the time and when he gets home he is out in the garden! He loves gardening! Softball season started and Drew is playing on his work team.

I am just getting bigger and bigger! Our whole family is anticipating the arrival of Kaeson David Nielson. I am now seven months along and now I am suppose to go in on August 1st for a scheduled c-section.

Breaking Dawn Book Release

So I am a little addicted to the Twilight series and i am counting down the days til the 4th book comes out!!!!

Helping Daddy

2008-03-25T16:19:00.000-07:00

Daddy's Lil Helper! Sydnee loves to be outside with her daddy and grandpa. Trying to get her back into the house is like pulling teeth!
Drew was trying to level out the garden to get it ready for planting and Sydnee just took the wheel! Appearantly Drew wasn't doing a good enough job so Sydnee had to fix it!!! Ha ha ha
Hi Puppies!

Easter

2008-03-25T15:53:00.001-07:00

Drew helped Sydnee at my parents do the Easter egg hunt...well he basically drug her every where he wasn't going to let his little girl go empty handed. She got the most eggs so then I felt a little bad for the other kids cause we kinda cheated!!!

This is my sister Patty, my mom Buttons, my sister Amy, and well me. Its always a blast when we get together. We act so silly that people around us are wondering ... Where did they come from???
This Easter was so much fun Sydnee was old enough to dye her own eggs so i just let her loose!!! She had a blast, dying the eggs, herself, and the counter!

The Easter bunny made it to our house and spoiled the poop out of Sydnee!

It's A Boy!!

2008-03-20T09:13:00.001-07:00

We found out Tuesday night that Sydnee is going to be a big sister to a little baby boy!! We have already decided to name him Kaeson David Nielson!! We can't hardly wait for his arrival in August!!

Growing up!

2008-03-11T19:55:00.000-07:00
