I have been following this blog for a year.  Right after I gave birth to Blane I discovered this blog.  As I brought a little spirit into the world she had to let one go.  I have felt so much love for this couple.  It is funny how I have never met them but they have strengthened my testimony of the gospel and eternal families.

You will need a tissue!!!!   

Changes

Well there has been alot of change the last four months in the Nelson household.

1. We moved into a house !!!!  We were going to buy but decided just to rent for now until we know were Craig will be going to CRNA school which brings me to number 2
2. Craig decided to change fields after all the attempts at dentistry and always being let down he decided to become a Nurse Anesthetist.  He got accepted into OLOL College and his currently going to summer school.  Then in September he will be getting his ASN in Nursing which will take 10 months, then he will work as a RN and go to school to get his BSN in nursing. Then he will apply to CRNA school which leads me to change number 3.
3. Craig after the 10 months will be joining the United States Navy.  So we might stay here for him to go to OLOL CNRA school, but the Navy has offered him a pretty good deal.  To move to Maryland and attend their CRNA school and everything will be paid for.  The CNRA program last 2 years so it is not long at all.
4. Blane turned the BIG ONE and has been walking everywhere.  He actually started walking on Fathers Day and has not looked back.  Man I mean really where did the year go. 
5. August will be the hardest change for me.  Seeing Myron and Ethan leave and go to BIG school.  What are me and Blane going to do?  UGH i hate how extremely fast time flies.  

So this was a little recap of what CHANGES has happened and will be happening in the Nelson household.

Our New House

Found this picture of Ethan and Me I can not believe how much he and Blane look alike.

Singing Happy Birthday to Blane on HIS BIG DAY JULY 6 2011

    

     

It started raining and the boys ran outside and had a blast running in the rain. Blane enjoyed it so much.

           

 

E and Joe were on the same T Ball team and I must say I loved watching them and getting to see Joe weekly.

Myron loved Tball this year and next year Coaches pitch

I love May in South Louisiana why you say, CRAWFISH!!!!

Blane loved Donald Duck

The fireworks were amazing.

Craig felt like he was back at on his mission in England

Oh I love Mary Poppins. 

Nana and Pops surprised the boys with a trip to Disney World this year.  This was also Craig and I first time also so it was super exciting.  Lets just say we had a BLAST and we will definitively be back. So here are the pictures. 

Happy Birthday E-man

SO this post is extremely late and to Ethan I apologize because this is your annually birthday letter. 
You were so excited to turn 4.  You picked a Disney cake because we just got back from Disney world, thanks to Nana and Pops.  Since the trip you have let me know that you want miss Walt Disney world and have asked why cant we live there? LOL

Ethan Hyrum Nelson just hours old

Dear Ethan ( my lucky charm since you were born on St Patricks Day)
I can not believe 4 years has already passed.  Boy where has the time gone?  I still look at you and see your little baby face.  You are definitely a momma s boy and for that I am so grateful.  You are so sweet and thoughtful.  You always make me laugh and what melts my heart is when it is time for bed you look at me with your beautiful eyes and say " Mom, i want to cuddle and kiss".  So that is what we do I rock you and we hug hug and I kiss your sweet little cheeks.   You love love your Myron.  You two are the best of friends and I hope it will stay that way throughout your life.  Now to be honest it has taken some time for you to warm up to Blane, but you were the baby for three years so it is ok to feel a little jealous.  You are such a blessing to our eternal family.  You will always say thank you.  At dinner as we are eating you will always look at me and say Mom thanks you for dinner.   If I get you a snack , mom thank you.  Oh Ethan I love you so so much.  I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent you here to me and I feel more than honored to be your mother.  Happy 4th birthday my little E man. 

Love
Mom

What's new with the Nelsons?

Well since the beginning of the year, Myron is playing YMCA basketball and he turned 5 years old.  I cant believe that he turned 5.  It has been a blink.  So this blog post is for my 5 year old, it is his annual birthday letter. 
To my eldest child, Myron

 I can not believe that on January 18 you turned 5 years old.  Where has the time gone?  We had such a good day that day.  We were with cousins, played at Jump n Jive and had your transformer birthday cake.  You were surrounded by family who loves you.  You were giving lots of fun gifts and you were so excited to turn 5.  Every night until your birthday before you went to bed you would ask " Mom is it my birthday yet?" I cant believe that I had to sign you up for school.  You are going to be going to Kindergarten.  I can hardly believe that.  To be honest with you, I am not ready to let you go yet.  I am not ready for you to grow up.  Thanks so much for being my first born.  Thanks for enduring my learning how to be a parent on you, LOL.  Myron I love you with all my heart.  I love your laugh and your funny stories you tell me when we get in the bed together.  You love learning about the gospel and love to read scriptures as a family.  You are such a good big brother.  The other day I was really sick and in the middle of the night you came into my bed and laid by me.  I did not rush to take you back in your bed, I just grabbed you and brought you closer and held you.  I told you the story of when you were born and how I never wanted to put you down.  I looked at you that night and tried to memorize your little face because you will be ten before I know it.  I love you MY!!!! 

Happy Birthday

Love
Your Mom

Love this picture,look in back at Aunt Sha's face ,haha funny..

HaPpY nEw YeAr

Well New Years in the Nelson household was simple.  No going out because Blane was sick.  It consisted of Martinelli Sparkling Cider, hum and my favorite ice cream, Blue Bell's Mint Chocolate Chip.  Myron and Ethan did not make it until the new years but two of my four mens were up.  So I got two kisses.  Then came Thursday the 6th and Jenn texts me and said her water just broke.  I was so excited I could not contain myself.  I got to the Hospital minutes before he entered this world.  I got to go in after and hold him.  I feel in love he is so tiny.  He has Markus's lips and Jenn's nose.  The eyes I have not figured out yet. 
Then the next day we were off to Liberty, MS to cheer for the Tigers.  All the boy cousins were dressed in LSU. ( they all love each other soo cute.)  We popped fireworks, Uncle Ronnie shot a coyote but he could not find it because he lost the blood trail.  So all the night the boys were saying that Uncle Ronnie shot that big bad wolf. 
Then Saturday was Craig and I 6 year anniversary.  We went to Ruffino's.  Boy was that fab.  I got the Fillet Mignon with lump crab meat on top.  Loved it...  then we get home and I start feeling horrible, i have a fever, and a horrible sore throat, i think it is strep.  Fun I know.  So today I have been in bed all day and I have watched my husband, clean house, do 2 loads of laundry, dishes, dirty diapers, brought me soup and filled my water bottle, ALL without being asked or told.  He just got done making the boys a homemade pizza for dinner.  So as I write this I realize I have been given the best husband in the world.  I am thankful to him and for the 6 years and 3 sons later.  I could not have asked for more. 

I will let Jenn be first to post pictures of her little man.  He is sooo cute!!!!
