For Memorial Day weekend we went to Lake Powell. Our first time ever. It's Beautiful! And even though I wasn't able to wakeboard at all because of baby number 2, it was still a blast.
It was gorgeous!
Cute girl
Having Fun!
Too fast for Roxy...
Much better!
All tired out
Matt turned 30 on Saturday! After buying a tree, yes that's what he wanted for his birthday, we went to a Bee's game with some friends. It was super fun and he even got his name up on the jumbo-tron.
Thanks for the free tickets Ben!
We went hiking this weekend up Adam's Canyon to a supposed waterfall that we never got to 'cause Roxy was a terror! J/K, Roxy did awesome and the reason we never made it to the waterfall was because Matt and I were both suckin' wind bad! I guess it's time for more exercise. But even without the waterfall, it was beautiful and a lot of fun. Hopefully next time we'll make it.
First time meeting the Easter Bunny
I don't blame her. . . The Easter Bunny is kinda scary lookin'!
Roxy loved it and dug right in. We actually had to empty out some of her eggs so the other kids could get some. That's my girl!
So if you saw the house that burned down in Sandy on the news last week... that was my Grandparents old house. Even though it's not their home anymore, they built that house and lived in it for many many many years. When I lived at home growing up, we and all the aunts and uncles and cousins would meet there every Sunday night and have homemade ice cream. There are so many memories I have in that house and it was so sad to see it burn down.
I'd just like to take a second to remeniss with all the Nelson side of my family of some of my memories.
- Homemade Icecream
- playing capture the flag, ghost in the graveyard, kick the can, basketball
- playing nertz, and murder in the dark
- Picking rassberries, apricots, and cherries
- Climbing on the roof of the barn
- Painting the barn
- The little sand box
- swinging from the clothesline poles
- massive domino trains
- watching The Simpsons in the basement
- Grandpa's old chess set
- the beer chair
- Aunt Linda's treats
- Uncle Reed's teasing
- passing around cookies
- not having to serve ice cream anymore
- Mormon bridge
- racing sticks down the gutter
- Dipping chocolates
- Grandpa saying, " My name is Quela...What's yours?" Ha Ha
- Fitting everyone in the bathroom
- Inviting Matt for the first time to face the wrath(I mean questioning) of Aunt Linda(I mean the fam)
- Thanksgiving dinner, the handprint table cloth, and the kids table.
So so many memories. Let me know what I forgot, or what your favorite memories were.
You heard it, Mom of the Year! Look what I left my child alone with. Every Mother's dream. And yes, that's permanent marker.
"Look what I did mom!"
No, not as in Hilarious, but as in the Aerospace Museum. On saturday, we went to Hill Aerospace Museum. We've lived 15 minutes away from it for 3 years and this was our first visit. It's actually pretty cool. I never realized how much cool history and massive planes and choppers they have there. And it's totally free to visit! I recommend it to anyone that has never gone, Especially if your kids, or you I guess, like planes. We had a great time.
This weekend we had lots of fun building snow sculptures in our yard. When the snow is so wet and heavy like this it is great to play and sculpt with.
Bat and ball
Matt's super cool sisters, Ani and Sarah visited on Sunday and helped us build this scene.
Matt sculpted the face. So good.
The back view
Playing in the snow is so much fun. Roxy had fun too, but I forgot to take any pictures of her. Sorry.
I don't really have anything interesting to post about, but I heard this song on the radio today and I kinda like it. It helps me remember to cherish every moment I have with Roxy.
He's Gone. As some of you may know, Matt's brother Ben has been living in our basement for a while. He's been out of the house for about a month now, but officially moved out this past weekend. It's good and bad that he's gone, but the thing that I'll miss the most is that he was there to babysit for me when I needed it, most the time. I could go to the grocery store or run other errands alone and didn't have to worry about finding a babysitter for nights when Matt was out of town. And even though Ben only changed like 2 diapers while he was here, he was great with Roxy. So thanks Ben. Now that you're in your new place, I'll still be calling you to babysit every once and a while cause you definitely owe us.
