Happy Bday My Guy

( i know some are wondering why i have this picture in the mix, so let me share. If you know Ethan he loves I mean loves to eat. I always tell Craig that he is going to make us go broke. So tonight while I was cooking dinner I heard laughter coming from our pantry. I open the door and this is what I found Ethan in the pantry. haha I was laughing soo hard, I just had to get a picture. )

So on January 18th Myron turned 4! His birthday fell on MLK day so Craig took the day off and we went to the zoo. We invited Liah to come with us and as soon as she got in the car Ethan said "I love you Liah" haha two years old and he has his first crush. It was a beautiful day, the animals were all out and active. We ended our zoo trip with a ride on the train ( cant go to the zoo and not ride the train. haha After the zoo we came home and had cake and ice cream with the grandparents and opened gifts. Oh Myron I cant believe how fast time flies. It seems like yesterday I was at my dr visit ( i started having contractions there) she sends me home. I told your daddy I was not up to cooking so he stops by his favorite philly steak place for a sub, then off to home. I was watching American Idol when momo and aunt sha came by to pay me a visit. Thanks goodness they did because I WAS IN PAIN. Momo was like I dont know if you are in labor, finally after not being able to handle the pain dad took me to the hospital and at 10:51 you came into my world. I have loved every second since your arrival. You are an amazing person. You teach me so much.

Happy Anniversary!!! 5 years!!!!

WOW!!! 5 years really. Where has the time gone? We celebrated our 5 year anniversary on January 8. We went and had a fabulous dinner at Zea's in Town Centre, then we went shopping. We talked, laughed,and shared memories. It was a great and relaxing evening, thanks to mom and Aunt Sha who watched the boys for us. I am so thankful to Craig and all that he does. He is my best friend and to me that is important. He is leaving on Wednesday to fly out to AZ for a dental interview and this is only the second time we have been apart since marriage. I know he will do great. So I have made a list of the top 5 reasons why I love this man.

#1. His love for the gospel. He is steadfast and his testimony is solid.
#2. He is an amazing dad. The boys can not wait everyday for dad to get home because he goes straight into there room and plays with them or takes them outside to play. He helps me without me having to ask. Changes diaper, baths, cleans house, does dishes, takes trash out. He is truly a partner and we are equal.
#3. Always postive. He always sees the good in all. Always thinks before he speaks. Never lies always truthful.
#4. Hard Worker. Goes beyond and then some to take care and support our family. I am so lucky and get to stay home with our boys and he would not have it anyother way. We have been blessed that I have not had to go back to work for more income we always are blessed with what we need. His reply, we have the best insurance policy, we pay our tithing. The first thing he does with his paycheck writes a check for tithing. His faith in tithing as truly strengthed mine.
#5. I love the way he loves me!!! I am a far scream from the above pictures, and he still makes me feel as beautiful as the day we married. He always tells me he loves me, tells me how beautiful I am, tells me I am a good mom, he loves my cooking, and he always tells me he loves how I decorate his home and all the effort I do to keep it clean. He appericates all I do.

Craig I love you, thank you for blessing my life and I can not wait to see where the next five years take us. Thank you for the greatest thing in my life, they are my life, my children. I am proud to be Mrs. Craig Hyrum Nelson. I love you!!!!

Baby Update

So we went to the doctor yesterday and had an ultrasound. I am 13 weeks along and the ultrasound tech did not try to guess the sex since it is still too early. I still have hemorrhaging which has shrunk, but the dr wants it gone before I give birth. If not then most likely it will cause my water to break early. Then the dr looked at my ultrasound and said I think this might be a girl, so next time you come in I am going to bring the ultrasound machine in and do an ultrasound myself and find the sex and check on your hemmorrhaging. I have to go every three weeks to the doctor. I really like my doctor and she wants me to have a girl. She has two boys the same ages as mine and she wants another, but she wants another boy, I just want a healthy baby. My mom is dying for a girl and my Meme is actually praying for one. haha. Craig says he doesnt produce girls, so for that very comment, I would not mind having a girl. Myron and Ethan came with us to the ultrasound and the baby was actually waving "her" hand. It was amazing, Myron waved back and told her to come out. He is very excited for the baby. Then on the way home Craig and I were talking about the sex of the baby we were not fighting or yelling just joking around then Myron says " shh lets think about Jesus." Craig and I looked at each other and said ok, then he said I love him. What a sweet moment. So I have decided to keep a book of all the cute quotes they both say and have them for when they get older.
