Yesterday Was A Wonderful Day!

Yesterday was such a wonderful day!  My new nephew arrived!  Everyone meet 

Sawyer Shane Nelson

7lbs 12oz 

19 inches

Born at 1:46pm

Brother of Sasha

Proud parents are Shane and Svetlana Nelson

I got to spend a couple of hours shopping for Sawyer with my Mom, Bryson, Alyssa, and Sasha.  We saw him at the hospital around 3:00.  -Oh my goodness.  -He makes me baby hungry.

Later in the afternoon, I went to Andrew's baseball game.  No home runs this time, but Andrew still did great.  Here are some pictures I took with my phone.

 I don't know what the final score was, but Red Sox beat the Blue Jays.  :(

 Brody and Bryson watched the game with me.  Both of them were so good.  Brody spent a lot of the time blowing dandelions.  He also went on the swings.

Bryson spent most of his time throwing the powerade bottle.  -Such a little stinker.  Everything is a "ball" to him right now.  :)

 I love the weathering on this sign, so I had to take a picture. 

Last, but not least.  My nephew (Jackson Anderson) got his mission call.  We went over to his house yesterday evening and watched him open his call.  Jackson will be going to MESA, ARIZONA!  He goes into the MTC on August 14th.  Congratulations Jackson!

Kid's Fishing Day 2013

Brody went on a field trip to Salem Park today.  He and his classmates went fishing.  They must have done pretty well, because he brought 2 fish home!  -(Now we have to clean them.  Ewe)

Mother's Day 2013

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day this year.  I went to work and when I came home my kids spoiled me!

 Abby gave me a whole bunch of coupons.  She also wrote a paper about me.

 Andrew gave me a glass tile that looks like a robin.  -It's beautiful.

 Alyssa drew me several pictures on pink paper.

 Breelyn gave me a personalized notepad and a flower pen.

Brody gave me a cool Dora the Explorer picture that looks like a stain glass window.  I don't have a picture, but Aaron gave me a dress, some pb M&M's, and a Darden gift certificate.  (Thanks babe)

I gave the relief society lesson on Sunday.  The topic was Sacred Family Relationships.  I shared a story my cousin Lindsey told me about her brother Troy.

Troy died in a 4 wheeler accident when he was just 17 years old.  I can't believe he's already been gone for over 20 years.  -I'm so grateful for the knowledge we have.  That families are forever. 

After church we ate dinner at my parents' home.  I love getting together with my brothers, sister, and parents.  I hope everyone had a great day.
