Daniel was already blowing his Tia kisses, I took this picture while he was in the nursery. You know what I still have not had the chance to hold him and I am dying to hold him and give him kisses.
Introducing Daniel Richard Ortiz born March 29, 2010

Ethan and Craig at St Patty Day Parade, we had a blast.

His third birthday

I have been wanting to post this pictures of the quilts my dear friend Onnie made for my boys. She made them for their birthdays and they love them. Craig was so impressed with them. Thanks Onnie for being so thoughtful and making them such amazing quilts. I am amazed that nothing is ironed on all done and cut by hand. I told her she needs to sell them. Thanks again!!

We are so busy time is flying, I will be doing some updating with the boys and thier T Ball games, they are one the same team, the Braves Myron picked the #1 and Ethan picked the # 3. It is so fun to watch Tball. I told Craig we are going to win 10,000 thanks to AFV. haha Those pictures will be coming soon.

Daniel can not wait to actually meet you. Love you!!!

Really Three years already

Three years, really, time flies way way to fast. So Ethan today is your birthday( which I will post pictures later) Dad took off of work and we went shopping, Chuck E Cheese, opened presents, had cake and got lots of phone calls from family who love you. Your Aunt Sha and Uncle Napo and cousin Aaron came from New Orleans and surprised us all. ( I did not expect to see them at the door, and I said Alicia please do not deliever that baby here, HAHA) I cant believe it has been three years ago that you entered into our little family. You have changed our lives ever since. I am so blessed to be your mother. You woke up today singing happy birthday to yourself and you love that it is your birthday. Here are the three top reasons why I love my E Man, My E Guarantee Man, CHEWEY, or just E,
1. you are always so concerned for others feelings, If you think I am sad you jump on my lap and hug me and ask mom you ok and kiss my cheek.
2. You love to share, you always make sure Myron has what you have.
3. You are truly my lucky charm, not only were you born at 12:01 am March 17, but you were Green due to meconium that you just could not hold in until after you were born.

Oh E I love you so much!!!!!!

WE ARE HAVING A........

All I can say is yes there is no guessing, that is definitely a boy, haha. Well baby boy # 3 is coming our way, I cant believe I am half way done with this pregnancy. I was thrilled when we were told another boy. How easy I have everything I need, the only thing needed a car seat, a stroller and swing. The only thing I am nervous about is PUPPPS!! Please not with number three. We only have one month to see if it will occur. I was asked if I was sad that we were not having a girl. No not really, I just want a healthy baby. Yes having a girl and do girly things with would be fun, but I really do love my boys. Like Craig once said, " You are a boy mom" haha. A dear friend of my family came in town last week and we went to the movies and sat around and talked. She is the mother of four boys. All four served missions, all so far have chosen beautiful young women to take to the temple. It was reassuring to see her sons call and text her through out the evening. I told her that is how I am going to be, I am always going to talk to my boys. She told her sons future wifes, I will always call my boys and that she does. So Baby Boy Blane Ryan Nelson will arrive in July. Can not wait to meet him. Myron and Ethan were so excited when we were told its a boy then Myron looked at the xray tech and said NO I want a girl. haha. Oh and more good news my bleeding is gone. I will go back in four weeks for one more ultrasound and a dr's visit. SO today is a great day!!!!! WE LOVE YOU BLANE!!!

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.
4 reasons why I love my MY
1. He loves I mean loves his brother, he will step in dangers path to protect his little brother. They are the best of friends. I am so glad they are close.
2. He loves church and he loves Jesus. He loves sharing the story of the prophet Joseph Smith and loves having FHE.
3. He loves all things boy, sports sports and sports. He has amazing talent when it comes to anything atheletic. He is signed up for flag football that will start in March. I cant wait to see him play.
4. He is a good listener and loves to learn. He soaks up everything. He is such a happy boy!!

Myron I am so glad I am your mommy. I love how every morning you hop in my bed and play with my hair. I love how you pray everyday and ask Heavenly Father to bless that you will sleep in your big boy bed and not be scared. Then you ask that Ethan will have a good birthday like you did. You are your daddy's clone looks and personailty.
Myron I love you so much. My Big 4 year old.

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.
