Memorial Day Is Coming...


Saw these photos at my aunt's home over the weekend.  They are photos of my Grandpa and Grandma Nelson when they were in highschool.  I just love old photos!   My grandpa passed away a couple of years ago.  His birthday was on Tuesday.  I sure miss him

Chicken Coop Progress

Our chicken coop is just about completed!  Aaron put shingles on the roof yesterday.  I put a coat of primer on it over the weekend.  We'll probably paint it tomorrow or some time next weekend.  Then just the chicken wire.  Our chickens are getting big.

People Can Be So Mean...

Our van was vandalized Sunday night or early Monday morning. 
 I think someone took a bat to the rear window.  Our van was unlocked and nothing was taken.  There was a good size hole and the rest of the glass was shattered.  I had to pick up my daughter from school, so I got several weird looks.  :)
 After we returned home, I called the police and filed a report.  There weren't any similar crimes reported in our neighborhood; however, the officer told me it happens all the time.  We had a sign on the rear bumper for Dry Creek Chiropractic (My husband's business).  The officer recommended that we take it off.  He said any kind of bumper sticker can set people off. 
I took the sticker off and contacted my insurance.  Unfortunately we have a $500 deductible.  I contacted Safelite Auto.  They sent a technician to our house.  $260 later, we have a new rear window.  I hope it was just some rebellious teenagers and not someone targeting me or my husband.  I have to be honest.  It was a "Downer" kind of a day.  

More Brysonee

We're all enjoying Bryson.  He's so much fun.  He changes every day!
Here's a picture of Bryson with my Grandma Nelson.  I took the picture last Sunday.

Here's a picture of Bryson with my dad, (Lyle).





A picture of Bryson with my friend Katie

I took this picture yesterday.  6 weeks and 1 day!  He's getting so big!

The Amazing Race

My nephew had an "Amazing Race" birthday party last Saturday. Andrew had a blast.  The party was just like the TV show.  The kids were separated into 3 groups.  As it states on the card, there were clues to follow, detours to make and challenges to accomplish.  In the end, Andrew's team won the race.  Each of the kids in his group got a 100 grand candy bar (How clever). 

I Love Being A Mom


Aaron gave me the most amazing gift.  I get to go to a 3 hour workshop where I'll learn how to redo furniture!  -(Something I've attempted many times, but never perfected.)

I love being a Mom.  I love the fact that we have a holiday in which we give thanks to the Mothers in our lives.  I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year.  I hope all of you did as well.
