Nelsons' Nonsense

Pumpkin Pie

2012-01-07T12:02:00.001-08:00

Every year I try to save our Jack-o-lantern for future use. The only problem is that the only recipe that I make with pumpkin is pumpkin soup which no one likes but me. So my wonderful friend Sharon convinced me how easy it was to make pumpkin pie. (I'm not a big baker) they were so yummy and relatively easy. We had them for dinner!

So I took a baby step this year and Galway made a costume. Lilly wanted to be Dorthy for Halloween and Didn't like the aprons at the store that had sequins. So I made one and it turned out pretty good of I do say so myself!

I love my family.
Later Ryan took me to the gaslight to watch "The Wizard of the Rings"

Shopping Carts and little girls

2011-06-09T14:38:00.001-07:00

What's up with shopping carts and little girls? Each of my girls were drawn to it. Putting things in, pushing it around and now climbing in it. Pearl has figured out how to climb in under the front flap and sit in the cart. She also stands in it to get into anything she wants. Smart girl!

Is School Almost Over

2011-05-12T10:22:00.000-07:00

This year has been an exciting and challenging one. The question I hear most is "Is school almost over?"

And the answer: YES!

Me and my little study buddy.

We've had our ups and definitely our downs but in the end we still like each other.

The Cutest Thing I Ever Heard

2011-05-12T09:21:00.000-07:00

Occasionally I leave the baby monitor on and forget to turn it off. One night after Ryan and I had sent the kids to bed, we were talking and we thought we heard singing. We turned up the monitor and heard this.

Theses are those precious moment that make it all worth it.

Being Spontaneous

2011-03-31T11:54:00.000-07:00

It so hard to be a mom and be spontaneous. That is one of my goals this year is to not let my to do list control my life and loosen up a little bit. We pass the park it seems like 3 times a day and every time Foster asks "Mom can we go to the park". Well today I said "yes" and here are the pictures to prove it!

WICKED

2011-03-31T11:43:00.000-07:00

Right after Christmas Ryan and I got to go to see Wicked with our friends the Garcia's. We had to buy the tickets in October and we were glad because by that time we were broke after Christmas. These are the only two pictures we could take before we were scolded and told to put our camera away!

Christmas at Grandma's House

2011-03-31T11:39:00.000-07:00

We had to wait a little after Christmas before we could visit. So her are some pictures from the kids opening their presents on New Years Eve.

Is this a good idea?

2011-03-07T17:36:00.000-08:00

I don't think that Pearl knows what she signed up for? Did she have a choice?

Desert Museum

2011-03-03T17:31:00.000-08:00

We had the chance to go to the Desert Museum with Heber J. Grant Academy. It was lots of fun and the weather was perfect as the price!

Snow What?

2011-02-27T17:16:00.000-08:00

This was such a fun suprise. The kids all got out and enjoyed the snow.

Abigail'ls Baptism

2011-02-26T17:14:00.000-08:00

It was such a special day in February when Abigail was baptised. Both her grandparents were there. Her cousins and aunts and uncles. It was a very spiritual service.

Put on your cheesey smile!

Our First Half Marathon

2011-01-31T20:07:00.001-08:00

We did it! That week Ryan decided he would run it with me and just ran like it was nothing. Megan let us stay at her house and queen creek and even watched the kids. She's a wonderful sister.

Sharon was my motivator. She finished before we did, next year I hope to keep up with her.

Hopefully this is the first of many!

Girls' Book Club

2011-01-28T17:05:00.000-08:00

This was the book club that we hosted our book was A Little Princess. We started off by dressing the part. Then we made crowns out of pipe cleaner and beads.

We played a story telling game since the little princess was such a good story teller.

We had sponge cake and jam tarts from the book they were delicious!

My Trip to Hawaii

2011-01-17T17:46:00.000-08:00

Ryan was in Hawaii, yet again for a business trip. I was at home playing the martyr. He called one Saturday morning and said to get ready to get on a plane. This was the view from the condo balcony.

This was us at Spouting Horn.

Us trying to snorkel for the first time at a locals favorite beach on the north side of the island.

A light house that we were too late to visit!

The water was beautiful, I couldn't get enough of it. I took this on one of our many runs along the beach.

Our second time snorkeling. This time we were much more successful and didn't have to fight the current, although it was very cloudy and cold.

The flowers everywhere were so beautiful. I am modeling on that I picked up on our walk.

This is Waimea Canyon. It was so lush!

Abigail's 8th Birthday

2011-01-15T12:00:00.000-08:00

Abigail is now 8, I can't believe it! Where does time go? Seriously? Ryan was in Hawaii for her birthday so we took lots of pictures to send to him. She got to decorate her own cake. Pearl just lying around. Mail from Grandma is always the best.

Let it Snow!

2010-12-30T11:07:00.000-08:00

We were visiting a McDonald's in Mesa on Dec 30th and it started snowing. We all had to run outside to experience the real magic!

The Eclipse

2010-12-29T10:25:00.000-08:00

These are taken with my phone so they are not that great but I had to record that we were crazy enough to stay up until 2:30 to watch. We did fire up the jacuzzi and watch while floating in warm bubbles, that made it a little more bearable. It did look really neat but no different, in my naive opinion, than the other eclipses that I've seen....

Little Handprints

2010-12-28T10:31:00.000-08:00

What would I do without little hand prints? This little girl is smart, she figured out how to climb onto my bathroom counter and unscrew the lotion bottle and paint the mirror. The next question I asked myself was "where was I during all of this?"...

Pearls Quite Book

2010-12-26T10:56:00.000-08:00

This was the present that Lilly and Abigail made for Pearl this Christmas. We ended up making it two days before Christmas and could only use what we had in the house. It turned out pretty cute considering...

On the Mountain

2010-12-23T10:42:00.000-08:00

The week before Christmas we were able to visit my grandparents who live out in the middle of no wear (about an hour drive on a dirt road outside of Marana). We helped them get ready for Christmas company. We also took a "real Indian Jones" ride and explored.

Christmas Ligths at the Temple

2010-12-18T10:35:00.000-08:00

It's not the best picture but at least it documents that we do get out of the house occasionally.

Now that I look at it again we all look like zombies!

A Clean Garage!

2010-12-17T10:28:00.000-08:00

This might be silly to everyone but me. It was the best Christmas present that I got this year. Ryan had the week before Christmas off and used his time to make me deliriously happy. I had to take a picture to prove that at one time we could park the car in the garage.

LIlly's Birthday Cake

2010-12-07T10:37:00.000-08:00

Around December is birthday month and we get sick of cake. This year Lilly asked for ice cream cake. It turned out really yummy and was huge. Here is the last slice after eating if for a couple of weeks. Mint chocolate chip/Oreo/cookies and cream!

Turkey Trot 2010

2010-11-24T10:26:00.000-08:00

Before

So every year I am able we try to do a Turkey Trot. This year it was in Mesa. I decided that I needed a little bit bigger challenge so we signed up for the 10k. I survived just barley and Ryan was my motivator although after mile 4 nothing much was said. (I got a little crabby) but there's always next year!

After

Where's Pearl

2010-11-18T19:16:00.001-08:00

That's a good question to ask myself every now and then. Today I realized that it had been a little too long and I nervously went down stairs calling her name.

Luckily this is what I found. She had pulled up the stool to the counter and found Abigail's Halloween candy. She couldn't answer me because her mouth was full of lollipops.

Ready for Grandmas

2010-11-18T18:12:00.001-08:00

Foster has been caring around his backpack and suitcase for two days now saying he is ready for Grandmas house. He packed is pink suitcase full of underwear (good boy) and his backpack has his Buzz and a shirt. What else could he need? Now I just need to explain that he still has a week to go.

Desert Grande Triathlon

2010-11-15T20:19:00.001-08:00

Well I did it! Sometimes I ask

myself why but afterwards I'm glad I did it and it was lots of fun to do with friends!

One of the girls in our group made these cute shirts.

Can't wait to do it again in another six months!

When in doubt turn the TV

2010-11-15T20:06:00.001-08:00

We have had a stomach bug going around today. With multiple little people throwing up at the same time, it was quite comical and I would have laughed if I was not gagging myself! Anyways I digress. Because of these recent developments I want people to stay stationary and watch TV. I let Foster watch TV in his room on our little TV and found him laying on his side with the TV turned to the side also. When I asked him what he was doing he gave me one of those "duh mom" looks and said his neck his neck hurt. Smart boy!

Bangs

2010-11-15T19:57:00.001-08:00

I cut her hair yesterday! She is the only girl in our family that can do bangs because her hair grows forward with no cowlick in the middle of her forehead. She looks so cute and grown up all of the sudden, it makes me a little sad, but that's life.....enjoy it while you can.

Squinty Eyes

2010-11-15T06:36:00.001-08:00

Pearl, since she was tiny, would squint up her eyes when she was really happy. Last week the she figured out how to do it on command and luckily I had my phone nearby!

We have a membership so whenever we visit Grandma and Grandpa Nelson we like to check out the Science Museum in Phoenix and see what 's new. Here are pictures of Lilly and Abigail being email all over the world.

Pearl really liked the table of floating balls...

She couldn't quite understand how they stayed in the air.

Pirates of Pinzance

2010-11-12T10:21:00.000-08:00

With school we were able to go to a dress rehearsal last month of Gilburt and Sullivan's "Pirates of Pinzance".
We all had a good time even though it was late but the best part happened a few days later. The kids made their own stage and put on their own production, complete with songs for FHE. I was so wonderful but to long to post so I had to just add a still to preserve the memory!

Home Schooling

2010-11-12T10:18:00.000-08:00

Home schooling has been a blessing and a challenge. I don't think that you can have one without the other. Everyday there is something new and always a million things to do. Sometimes I mourn my old life and schedule, with all the freedom that I had to do what "I" wanted. But that is focusing on the negative and not what things I do have now. I love our leisurely mornings and snuggling for scripture reading when the sun is just coming up and then making a big breakfast if we want to or not. I love teaching Foster to read and experience so much joy when he finally "gets it". I love having Abigail sit on my lap when we do history together and come up with sentences about Julius Cesar. I love reading every episode of Lilly's Stick Comic. I love suffering with Andrew through one of his Intermediate Language Skills test and then getting 100%. Life has defiantly been a challenge of balance, where is my place, and what can I realistically do. I hope that we have gotten into a new grove with our schedule but as soon as I say that something changes. Oh well I guess that's life. I am enjoying learning with the kids and not enjoying learning things about myself that I need to work on. In the long run I know that it will be worth it. I am just practicing living in the "now", which sounds easy but is turning out to be very difficult for me.

The kids and I made a compromise. If I took pictures of their art projects and put them on the blog so they got in the book then we didn't have to keep all of them.

Abigail's Abstract Dog

Lilly's Rock Star

Abigail's Dinosaur

Andrew's Indian Mud Hut

2010-10-23T20:13:00.001-07:00

I know that I am good at ignoring things and background noise like all moms but this was ridiculous! I was cleaning up lunch and doing my own thing in the kitchen when I finally turned around to see what Pearl's problem was; I couldn't remember how long she had been fussing and I felt so bad, but it made a good picture!

2010-10-03T17:56:00.001-07:00

We had a delightful time at girl's book club. We discussed the Wizard of Oz and how things are not always as they seem. Our dessert was hamburger and French fries, or was it?

We also made puppets and acted out our favorite parts of the books.

Lilly's Funny

2010-10-01T09:27:00.000-07:00

Lilly was having fun at my sister's house with her mac. April emailed this to me the next day. Everytime I watch it it makes me laugh!

Chanmpionships

2010-08-29T21:22:00.000-07:00

Right after we came back from Montana we had swim championships. It was lots of fun and didn't last as long as I remembered. Ryan is such a sweetheart and lets me be a timer while he wrangles with the kids and the heat!

Pear hatches a watermelon

2010-08-29T21:20:00.000-07:00

At the cabin Pearls favorite thing to sit on was the two watermelons that we had bought to eat. We were all wondering if she was going to hatch one and what would come out of it.

Foster rides his first horse

2010-08-29T21:19:00.000-07:00

He was really brave on that huge horse. We city folk as Ryan calls us are not so sure around those things.

Abigail and Bryan

Horses in Montana

2010-08-29T21:17:00.000-07:00

What fun they had riding Uncle Jay and Aunt Cheryl's neighbor's horses.

Even Pearl got to sit on one.

Fishing at Sawtooth

2010-08-29T21:14:00.000-07:00

Me and my feeble attempt to fish, but I thought I'd better try since I had just spent the last three hours hiking there!

Montana is such a great place for the kids. Ryan's Aunt and Uncle have a huge house on lots of land. Their neighbor let us ride the horses which was a thrill for Abigail.

More Montana

2010-08-29T21:12:00.000-07:00

Another pose on big boulders that were everywhere on our hike. I wasn't sure we would ever get to sawtooth lake at the rate we were going.

We finally made it to the lake with lots of encouragement from Grandpa! Thank you ...

Here's Andrew fishing in a lake that was still partly covered with ice. Did I mention that this was July?

Our hike with the kids to Sawtooth Lake.

Every big rock was a picture opportunity.

Our Four Wheeler Ride

2010-08-29T21:06:00.000-07:00

We tried to take some pictures with us on our ride but none of them turned out. Here we are after climbing Comet Ridge.

This cool tree was struck all the way down the trunk by lighting. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Me on a quad and loving it!

Andrew with some of the fish he caught in the many fishing expeditions with his dad.

She wants to drive already

While in Montana which was more like winter than summer we got stuck in a rain storm and had fun in the parking lot while we waited.

Ryan and I took a four wheeler ride up Comet Ridge and had a beautiful view.

More BYU Idaho

We found this porch called "Patsy's Porch" while we were wandering around and thought of one of our favorite aunts.

We also had THE BEST ice cream that I have ever eaten and I have eaten a lot of ice cream. It was a little place called G's Dairy Delights and it was delightful.

Our visit to Sarah and BYU Idaho

2010-08-29T20:50:00.000-07:00

On our way to Montana this year we decided to take the drive a little slower and visit Sarah. She gave us a VIP tour of the greenhouse gardens that they have there and of the grounds around BYU Idaho that she takes care of.

Funny Pictures

We had the Rogers over for game night and Aric had to hold a pose for a full round or take the penalty!

Pearl loves her red rocket.

Look what I can do with a spoon.

Kids can fall asleep anywhere?

Both Ryan and I are busy helping at the swim meets and this is what we found after one of them. Foster had just worn himself out I guess and had no clue that everyone around him was packing up and leaving. He was really tired.

Bring on the Swim Meets

Summer was also busy with lots of swimming and swim meets. Everyone got a great tan, especially Abigail our Indian child.

Science Museum

Over the summer we got a year membership to the children's science museum in phoenix. We always have a blast there!

Ryan in Hawaii

2010-08-29T20:33:00.000-07:00

Here are some of the pictures Ryan took while he was in Hawaii for work at the end of May. Unfortunately he wasn't in any of them so I don't know if he can really prove he was there?

Hanging Out

Pearl's had some pretty crazy hair but this one I think was the craziest!

How they got up on that brick wall I don't know. They probably had help from the photographer.

Vail Pride Day

Lost photos out of the archives of Vail Pride day. The kids were happy to pose with their art work.

My Grandma's House

2010-08-29T20:21:00.000-07:00

I had Ryan take a picture of the two things I will remember most growing up. Her beautiful mural in the dinning room and the colorful yellow flowered wall paper in the kitchen.

Kids ca fall asleep anywhere...

This is by far my most favorite post. I love finding people asleep and am compelled to take pictures of them. No matter how old they are!

Memories

2010-08-29T20:16:00.000-07:00

Hey I finally found all of Ryan's pictures. His file has got 1225 pictures in it so as I was going though them it brought back many happy memories and I got distracted. I'll get to the new stuff eventually.
