Hunter first time playing in the leaves, and loved it!

2011-10-02T16:09:00.000-07:00

We were able to get new family pictures while my parents were up here. It was so much fun! I love these pictures.

Hunter's birthday party went so well and was so fun.

2011-09-29T18:02:00.001-07:00

Hunter turned 1 today. This makes me sad, I can't believe the year has gone by so fast. It feels like we just brought him home. We love you Hunter, you're the greatest son ever! HaPpY biRtHdAy!

We got Hunter's hair cut today. It did break my heart, but he looks so cute, and way different. We sure love our little guy. Time is flying by, he is now 8 and a half months old now.

2011-05-26T16:32:00.000-07:00

Hunter is growing up way to fast. He'll be 8 months on Sunday. He has his two bottom teeth coming in, and boy does it hurt when he bits your fingers. He is trying so hard to crawl, he has learned to scoot himself on his belly it so cute, and it has been hard to catch it on video with out making him mad. He is just the cutest little guy ever! I love him so much!

2011-05-13T17:56:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how time flies by so fast, Hunter is now 7 and a half months. It makes me sad that he is growing up to fast, I wish he could stay a baby forever!

Hunter's first Easter.

2011-04-06T18:13:00.000-07:00

Hunter's first time eating peas, he wasn't a big fan of it. It was so cute to see his reaction to it.

2011-03-27T17:58:00.000-07:00

This made me laugh so hard. We just got back from the store and I was putting things away while Garth was getting dinner ready. I was getting ready to change into some comfy clothes and I heard Hunter in the living room chattering up a storm, I was about to go down stairs and I saw him rolled up on his play mate, had to get pictures, it was so funny and way cute.

2011-03-14T19:12:00.000-07:00

2011-02-17T18:32:00.000-08:00

Hunter is now able to roll over. This does make me happy but way sad, cause this means he is growing up way to fast.

2011-01-26T15:37:00.000-08:00

Hunter will be 4 months old on the 29th. It is so exciting to watch him grow, but it makes me sad to see how fast he is growing.
He is starting to be more active and he has also discovered his hands and feet. He loves to suck on his hands and our hands. He still has all of his hair, but it is getting lighter. We have noticed that he is a morning baby, which is a good thing. It is awesome to watch how much he pays attention to, he hears mine or Garths voice and looks over at us and he even smiles. I love his smile and laugh, it just melts my heart.
We love our Hunter oh so much. It is exciting to watch him grow up, but I just wish he didn't up so fast.

2011-01-11T10:56:00.001-08:00

Hunter is now 3 and a half months. We can't believe that the time went by that fast. We sure do love our little guy. It is so fun to watch him grow and discover new things. He has discovered his hands to his mouth, it is so cute. He is starting to babble a lot, it is so cute, I always try to catch him on film when he babbling, he loves to talk to us. We love our little guy, he is a major blessing in our lives.

2010-12-30T10:33:00.000-08:00

Boy has the time flown by so fast. Hunter is now 3 months and a day old. It is so much fun to how much he has changed. He is now able to hold his head all on his own. He is standing up more, with us holding him up. He is smiling more, but not for the camera :(. He is also jabbering more, it is so cute. We love our little guy so much, we are so blessed to have him in our lives.

2010-12-27T18:33:00.000-08:00

Hunter's first Christmas was fun. But we know that next year will a lot of fun.

2010-12-11T06:03:00.000-08:00

Boy does time fly by fast. Hunter is now 10 and a half weeks old. I can't believe it went fast, it is only going faster.
We have spent the whole week in Moab. It has been so wonderful being here. And the weather has been so wonderful, I love it when it is around 50 degrees during the winter and no snow on the ground. Not looking forward to going back to the cold and going back to work next week, oh well, apart of life.
It is so wonderful being a wife ans a mother. I love it!

2010-11-24T08:38:00.000-08:00

Hunter is now 2 months old. I can't believe that the time has gone by that fast. Well, he'll be 2 months on the 29th, but today he is 8 weeks, crazy how that works out.
Here is a sweet outfit that pawga got, with the beanie!

2010-11-08T07:58:00.000-08:00

We blessed Hunter yesterday. It was nice to see all of the support from both families.
We are truly blessed to have Hunter in our lives, he is cutest thing ever!

2010-10-22T18:46:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite pictures of Hunter. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. It is so hard to remember what life was like before he joined our family. I love watching Garth with Hunter, it is the cutest ever!

Hunter Kay Nelson
Born 9-29-2010 at 10:40 pm

2010-09-15T09:14:00.000-07:00

Only one more week to go. We are getting more and more excited. We will see if he can last till next Saturday. But we will keep everyone updated if things change.

2010-08-31T19:11:00.000-07:00

Only three and a halfish more weeks to go. We are getting way way way excited, and scared. But we are getting ready and excited and counting down the weeks for now. We keep everyone posted on here and facebook with all that happens!

2010-07-27T18:08:00.000-07:00

Only eight and a half weeks to till baby is here. We are both way excited and kinda scared. We are still trying to figure out what to name him. I think we have one picked, maybe, but I think we will wait till he is here to see.
I hope everyone is doing good and having a great summer, of what is left of it.
We will keep this updated (hopefully.)

2010-07-10T11:07:00.000-07:00

Two cute little outfits that my dad got us. I can't wait till he is big enough to wear them. Trust me, there will be tons of pictures!!!! :)

Drum roll please...... WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!

2010-05-28T16:53:00.000-07:00

We went and had an ultra sound today and found out that we are having a boy. We are so excited!!! Here are some pictures, sorry they are a little bit blurry. And one picture is of his tiny foot, oh so cute!!

Still no news

2010-05-17T19:40:00.000-07:00

We still have not been able to find out what we are having. I am quite sad about it, but we hope it will happen soon. We did go to the doctor this past friday, and we did hear the heartbeat and we did hear the baby have hiccups. I did think they sounded cute, I just hope it doesn't get my kind of hiccups, now that would be pretty bad.
We will keep everyone posted. Thanks for being patient with us.

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-07T22:04:00.000-07:00

I would like to wish all of the mother's and soon to mother's a Happy Mother's Day.
I would like to wish my Mother a wonderful Mother's day. I hope it is a wonderful day for you. Sure do love you so much!

2010-04-15T18:27:00.000-07:00

We went and had the first ultra sound. Hoping to find out the sex of the baby, but it was to early. The baby is still to small. It was so awesome to see the baby. It was kinda funny, we saw it kick, I am still unable to feel the movement, but I sometimes wonder if I do feel it. The baby was being stubborn and wouldn't let the person measure its head, it was in such a weird position.
I just hope that the next time we go, that we will be able to know. My parents bought us the crib and mattress, which makes me so excited. But we still need to put the crib together, which we might do tomorrow.
The next time we go to the doctor, we might have pictures this time.

2010-03-19T16:09:00.000-07:00

We went to my doctor today and for the first time, we heard the heart beat. It was so awesome to hear it. It did bring me to tears. But I did hold back from crying. I swear I was glowing when we heard the little heart beat, it was going so fast, it was 150, if that means anything.
In a month we will be going back and getting an ultra sound, and by then we might know what we are having, but might not. I'm so anxious for the ultra sound. We are both way excited, just now having to buy all of the baby stuff, oh boy!

2010-03-11T11:38:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was our third year anniversary. I love being married. Garth got me three gerber daisy's, for the amount of years we have been married. And the other best thing he got us were some girls scout samoa cookies, I was so excited.
There have been some changes since our last post. Back in Feb, we went to Denver for a convention for Garth, I just hung out at the hotel while he was at his meetings. I was to afraid to go out by myself, I would have got lost. It was a long drive both ways, but it was pretty. I was kinda jealous of Denver cause they hardly had any snow, but it was way cold. (Not a fan of cold and snow.)
And we have some good news for everyone, we are expecting our first child. We will hopefully find out in May what we are having. We are due at the end of September, which is perfect timing for my mom to come up and help a first timer, kinda scared. I can't wait to get to the fourth month, then I can get over the nausea, not a fan.
We will be sure to keep everyone posted.

2010-02-02T19:43:00.000-08:00

I know that it is winter time, but I do wish it would warm up. I'm kinda tired of the snow, but I don't think Garth is, he still wants more at least up in the mountains. That is a good place for it. I hope everyone is having a good winter. And, yes I am kinda jealous of my brother Spencer, being where it is at least 60 degrees. But we at least have nice summers up here, not to and not to cold, just right!
Here is a pictures that Garth took around the house. It is pretty much up to your knee. And I'm sure there will be to come!

2009-12-29T09:06:00.000-08:00

Christmas was wonderful. We celebrated early, we didn't want to take our gifts down to Cedar City and Moab, so on the 23rd, we opened our presents. Garth got us a new camera, it is so awesome!!! We left for Cedar City on Christmas Eve and we were there for Christmas day. It was so nice to Garths family. Then we went to Moab on Christmas day. It was a lot of fun too. It was so great to see my parents and my brother Michael and his son Zach. I love the holiday season, time to spend with family and friends.

2009-12-21T20:30:00.000-08:00

This is our train under our Christmas tree. We finally got a part that makes it go around the tree, Garth was way excited to get it going.

2009-12-07T22:47:00.000-08:00

Here is a sweet side table that Garth made. They turned out so great. They professionally done.

2009-12-06T16:27:00.000-08:00

This year has gone by so fast. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. We hope everyone will be able to be with their loved ones for the holiday season. I'm glad we will be able to go to Cedar and Moab. This will be a fun Christmas.

2009-11-23T20:47:00.000-08:00

These last few months have been kinda crazy. But I'm excited to have the year to be over.
We were planning on going to Garth's sister in Wyoming, but my job got in the way, stupid black friday!
It has been cold the last few days. It snowed yesterday :(. But that is expected when you live in Idaho. I hope I can get used to the snow, but we will see.
I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

We have our new floor in!!!

2009-08-29T19:54:00.000-07:00

I'm so happy that we have our new floor in the kitchen. I wish i could have helped with it, but I had to work. I think it looks great! We would like to thank Joe and Kaylyn for helping. It looks like a completely different house. If you would like to see more pictures of the floor, I have more on my facebook account.

New Old Experiences

2009-08-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

Stef and I have both recently received new callings in the church. Stef was called to be the Young Womens Secretary and I was called to be the Young Mens President. We are now experiencing being teenagers from the leader perspective. There have been some fun mutual activities for both of us and we are learning a lot. It is like being a kid again at church and going to activities every week makes the week much busier than what we are used to. This last weekend I got to go on my first camping trip. We took the priests to Logan where we climbed at the Rock Haus for three hours went to dinner then played miniature golf and then set up camp at 10:30 in Green Canyon. The next day we joined the rest of the youth at the Temple and it turned out to be a great trip. At the temple all of the workers confused me for one of the boys a little annoying but also flattering. We are still both getting used to the callings and getting things figured out but we will get there. The real problem now is that we know more youth than adults in the ward. G.N

Our house is FINALLY painted!!!

2009-06-30T16:24:00.000-07:00

It took awhile, but we finally got our house painted. About four weeks ago we got our paint, and from then and on it rained, up to last week. We were happy to finally catch a break from the rain and get it done last weekend. The plus side on the rain is that we didn't have water our lawn for a month, that was pretty sweet!
We still have some things to do on the outside, but we get it done.I'm grateful to be with the love of my life and be with him for eternity.I'm grateful to have a roof over my head.

Memorial Day Weekend

2009-05-24T16:58:00.000-07:00

We came down to Moab for the weekend. I thought it would nice and sunny here, but it has been pretty stormy since we came down. And I bet everyone else is really upset it stormed all weekend, oh well, I LOVE the Moab rain. It is just so pretty.
On Friday when we came down, my dad was needing help with tearing out the tree in the front yard :(. That was my favorite tree growing up. But they didn't get that tree to budge, at all. We went to one of my favorite places to eat in Moab, it is called Zax, yummy!!!!
On Saturday, it was back to work for my dad and Garth on the tree, still not budging. It is going to take a lot to get it out of the ground.
We had a wedding to go to in Castle Valley. Kemrey Wells and Zane Taylor were getting married. And of course it was raining, so we were all worried that she was going to be all stressed, because it was an outdoor wedding. We were getting ready to leave, and this was the only wedding that my dad has been looking forward to going to all year, but he ended up getting called out to work, because there was massive flooding south of town the road needed to be cleared; that's his job. My mom and I felt so bad that he couldn't make it. To get to the wedding we had to travel on the River Road to Castle Vally. For those that don't know this, I HATE the river road. It scares me. Of course it was raining; the only cool thing on the river road was the waterfalls coming off the rocks from the rain. When we were getting to scary parts on the road, I was trying to not panic so I wouldn't scare my mom, but she could feel my tension, and so could Garth.
We got to the house where the wedding was. And it was lightly raining. We saw Zane and talked to him for a bit, and he showed us his sweet looking Sugar Bowl ring, that thing is huge!!!! It was cool to see it!
The wedding started and when Kemrey came out, the sun came out and it stopped raining and a double rainbow came out just right over Castle Rock in the background of the wedding. It was such an awesome wedding. One of the best ones that I've been to.
When we were on our way out to Castle Valley, we were sitting at the light and a truck went by that Garth recognized as Paul and Mariko's truck. So of course, I didn't have my phone with me. But when we got back from Castle Valley, I called up Mariko and we went and met with her and Paul at Denny's. What a small world!!
Today Garth and I went for a ride south of town where the floods happened, it was pretty cool to see where it was. Next to the highway you can tell where the water came through the desert and over the road, there was a lot of rain for this being a desert. It has been a fun weekend. I still do get kinda homesick. But it has been a great weekend rain or shine.

Garth Graduated!!!

2009-05-03T19:34:00.000-07:00

I'm so proud of Garth for graduating. I has been a long year an a half in Logan. I'm so glad that he is done with school. Even though it was really rainy yesterday, it was nice. We had our families up for the weekend. It was nice to have them here. And hard for them to go. We've been up in Soda for a week now. But now it is final, no more school :).
I'm glad that Garth graduated. I'm so proud of him.

2009-04-25T20:39:00.000-07:00

It has been a hard week. I was way happy to quit walmart, but sad to leave all the friends I made at work. Some of them surprised me at Sizzler for dinner. I never caught on when I saw some of them. I thought it was cool to see them there. When Amber and I were heading to go sit down, we were heading into the big room in the back. And when we walked in, I saw some more people. It made me happy, excited, nervous, and then I almost started to cry, but held back from crying.
It was hard on Wednesday when Amber was getting off. But then it was hard on Thursday. I was really emotional. It was really hard for me to stay. So I went and told all of my friends good-bye, and I did cry on their shoulders. I did feel really dumb. I do miss all of those friends I made at work.
Today, which is Saturday, was our moving day. We had help form his sister Kaykyn. And Paul and Mariko helped us take our last load up to our home. It was a fun day, till we had to get busy with the unpacking. I don't think that is not much fun. I look at all of the boxes and think "Why?" After you do get married, you do end up getting more things.
I hope to have everything unpacked and out of the way by next weekend, when we have family coming up. It is going to be tons of fun!!!

We bought our first home!

2009-04-10T20:48:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday, we were on our way up to Soda Springs to sign on our house. And when we got to Smithfield, the truck started having problems. We had to turn back home to the get car, which almost made us late, but we made it on time, at least. We did one more walk through of our house. And finally signed our life away. I've never signed or initialed my name as much as we did that day. But it is well worth it. We are so excited to move up there and get away from Logan.

The 10th of this month was our 2nd anniversary. I'm truly blessed to be married to Garth. It has been a wonderful 2 years. I wouldn't change anything. We both did work on our anniversary, but we did go to dinner, to the Olive Garden, yummy! He gave me two roses, signifiying our two years of marriage.
We are in the process of buying a house up in Soda Springs, Idaho. It is a very nice house, and pretty big, for us, compared to where we are living now. It does have 5 bedrooms. But only three will be used, when we start having children, only 2. But we will see what we will do with the other rooms. We are way excited to move up there in about 6 weeks.

2009-03-08T18:03:00.000-07:00

We went down to Ogden today for the Train Show. It was so much fun. I've never been to one before. We met up with Garths farther. I had so much fun watching his dad, it was kinda like a little kid in a candy store.
It was fun to see the history of the railroad at the Utah Railroad Museum. And The Browning Fire Arms Museum. That is where Garth looked like a kid in a candy store.

When I knew I was in love with Garth

2009-02-24T09:16:00.000-08:00

We were hanging out one night, down in Cedar City. We went to someones house for a birthday party. One of my friends from Moab was living there. When we were there, she had to point out that I seemed very happy and that I was glowing. I've never been told that before, but it was pretty awesome, and I was kinda shocked too.
But I knew was in love with him when I first saw him. And at church, when ever he would sit right behind me, I was really nervous, and tried not to do anything stupid. So I sat up straight and tried not doing anything, but I was really nervous, but pulled through it. And where we are now! I love him with all of my heart.
From the first time I met him, I knew I did not want to live my life with out him. I never had that feeling before, but it felt so good and so right!! I'm so glad that we got married!

A nice, long weekend, well, kinda

2009-02-18T22:35:00.000-08:00

Even though it was Valentines day last Saturday. And I did have to work, which was ok, but kinda funny, to me, to see the last minute shoppers, sorry to those that are last mintues shoppers.
But when I got home, Garth already had dinner ready for me, my favorite, alfredo, and it was as good as Olive Gardens, yummy!!!! I was surprised that he had made me dinner, that was so sweet of him.
On Monday, we went up to where we are going to live after Garth graduates. We went house hunting. I had so much fun. I want to go house hunting again, it was so much fun.
I love being able to spend time with Garth.

2009-01-21T08:46:00.000-08:00

We went down to Cedar City this past weekend. It was fun, and nice to get away from Logan for the weekend. I went to farm after I went for a little run. Garth had me climb the fence to go where they were, which was behind a corral with a bull in it. The only way to get there was to go through the corral. I was very scared, because of bulls and how scary they are. We went to the other end of the corral, and I stood in there for awhile, still watching my back, because I didn't want to look back and see it right behind me. But I did go to the area where they were so I wouldn't be in there with the bull anymore.
But we had a fun weekend. We like going out of town and seeing our families. We haven't been to Cedar City since last May. It seems like the year had gone so fast, and it is weird that it is 2009.
Happy New Year to everyone. We wish everyone to happiness in their lives, and peace. Lets hope this year will be a good year.

2008-12-27T20:52:00.000-08:00

It was so great. We got up to Salt Lake last night, waiting to meet up with some of my siblings. While waiting, we went to Temple Square, it was so nice to go and see the Christmas lights. But it was really cold.
We met up with one of my brothers and had dinner with him, it was so great to see him. We had a lot of fun after dinner, then we waited for our other brother to show up. It was so much to meet up again with some of my siblings. It has helped me understand that you always need your family in your life.
I love my husband more then anyone knows, and I love my family. I wish I could see my family a bit more then I am able to.

It is Christmas time

2008-12-25T18:12:00.000-08:00

We are yet again down in Moab, for Christmas. It has been a great so wonderful being in Moab. But one problem, the snow followed us down to Moab. The hardest part will be leaving, which is always hard to do. I hate leaving my parents and Moab, since I do get home sick so much. We were surprised by some of the gifts. The most touching one for us is when my Mom opened her gift and one of the gifts was a Willow Tree figuring angel holding a puppy. Christmas is a wonderful time to be with your loved ones and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. We are all blessed for everything.

2008-12-05T19:09:00.000-08:00

Since it is that time of year, thinking of things that you are greatful for, and thinking of those that you love. Just thinking of that got me thinking about the time I realized I feel so much in love with my husband.
We were not married at the time. We had just gone on our second date, because I lost a bet with him. We got back to my apartment that night and we were watching a movie with one of my old roommates. It was snowing that night, so we went outside, and I did have a blanket cause it was very cold.
I standing up against the railing and he was standing in the door way, and I asked him if he wanted to join me, and so he did. We started to dance in the snow, it was so romantic. I loved every moment of it. And I still love every moment I have with him, he is my everything and I love him so much.

2008-11-30T14:52:00.000-08:00

Since my parents came up for the weekend, they decided to come up to Logan yesterday. We got tickets for The Forgotten Carols. It was so wonderful to go. It was such a great experience to be there and be there for the first time. At the end of it, it made my mom and I cry so much, because we both were thinking of the same person, and knowing that made me cry more, so I ended up soaking her shirt. I would love to go to it every year.

We are currently in Moab for right now. We came down on friday, because there was no way I'd not be able to get Thanksgiving off, so this is our Thanksgiving with my parents. It has been so much fun. My dad and I ran in the Turkey trot yesterday. I decided to stick with him through out the race. And my legs were killing me. I'm glad we were able to finish the race kinda together. I was glad to finish it, even though it was only 3 miles, nothing compared to the 5 mile race that is in March.

I'm sad cause we are going back to Logan today. I hate leaving my parents. It is so hard not bing near them. But it'll be a bit harder when we move up to Idaho, cause then we are a lot farther away from home.
