Trying out my new christmas present......

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year. We sure did. It was a little different feeling this year, since my family didn't do gifts and our house was basically our Christmas this year. But, we had a lot of fun with family and friends. So, Josh and I weren't doing gifts this year, but of course Josh surprised me with a new camera I needed to take this class at CGCC this next semester. I am so stoked! It's something I've wanted to do for awhile. Anyhow, the camera got here today, so I had to try it out. My niece Bella was over playing with Taeler, so they got a little photo shoot. Also, wanted to do a little shout out to my friend Rachael....Happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one and Boss is feeling better!

Christmas Pics of the Neilson Grandkids

So, my mom wanted some pictures of the kids to send out to people. Why does taking pictures of kids have to be so CRAZY? Karlee's friend Heather was so nice to come take a few shots at my mom's. Thanks Heather. I thought they turned out pretty good, well as good as they get for that many kids. My favorite is the one of Rylee smiling with Taeler cuz she never smiles for pictures and she has the funniest smile in it. It looks like I put someone else's smile on her. So funny.

Our new house

We finally are some what moved in. Yeah!!!!! Here's a pic of the outside, and I'll post some of the inside soon. We LOVE having a house!

Josh's 10 year reunion

On Nov. 8th we went to Josh's ten year reunion. We didn't really know what to expect or who would be there. But we went and saw a lot of old friends. We're glad we went!

Halloween 2008

The girls had so much fun this year...Taeler as a butterfly, Rylee as a ladybug, and Josh as Spongebob...why I forgot to get a pic of him I don't know. Anyway, we went trick or treating in our soon to be new neighborhood and loved it. We met a lot of our new neighbors and are even more excited to move in. Rylee only lasted about 1/2 an hour with her antannas, but loved running around with all the kids. Taeler made a couple new friends already, and is going to have so much fun having friends so close again. Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

HSM 3

On Thursday, Taeler and I got to go see HSM 3 with Aunt Karlee & Bella. Taeler had been so excited to see it. It was such a cute movie. By far, my favorite of the three. Afterwards, we stopped by Forever 21 and the girls went straight to the jewelry. Thank you Kar and Bella for such a fun afternoon.

Garden Time

It's that time of year again at grandma & grandpa neilson's house. My parents are planting all sorts of things, and of course Rylee things she needs to be in the middle of it all helping. I don't know what we are all going to do at our new house. The girls are going to be so bored. For those of you who haven't heard, we are moving in two weeks to our first house. We are really excited. It's in Cortina, on Power/Germann. We love the neighborhood and area. I'll post some pics soon.

Oh how we love our Rylee Roo

Rylee is one of a kind. She is very independent. She does only what she wants. Yet, I love every bit of her. She eats everything. She LOVES to do whatever Taeler is doing. She would be outside all day if I let her. She's getting to know the church hallways really well. She loves to hide. She makes you work for a smile. She loves to dress up, yet is quite the tomboy. I can't wait to see what she brings in the next few months!

Surprise, Surprise

I told Taeler to go hop in the bath, and within two minutes, I heard her laughing histerically. I walked into this. Gotta love it.

Rocky Point

We got to go to Rocky Point and had so much fun. The girls loved the beach. Next time we go we will probably leave the kids though, and definitely bring all of our own food. We didn't get that memo ahead of time. Thank you Brown's for such a fun weekend!
