Throwback Pics & Summer Fun

I had to repost these pictures of us in Yosemite. Sheehan and I are so young and little. 

This picture just feels like home. I love how beautiful and peaceful it is in Yosemite. Lots of great memories. 



Found an ingenious idea ala Pinterest to make these felt faces to keep Lincoln busy during church. It last about 15 minutes but I'll take it! He creates some pretty great faces with all the pieces. Funny boy. 

My sweet cuddly Bagheera. 

Lincoln discovered the headphones for the DVD player in the car. He was fascinated and thought it was pretty amazing!

My silly boys

I love when Lincoln plays until he drops. I feel very accomplished so I always take a picture to remember the moment. 

Baby Vance in his swing

 Another pic of Lincoln passed out. The pride in the success of exhausting this energized boy will never get old.

 And this little guy has the best smiles. 


 Lincoln showing off his pictures to Vance.



 Playing at Auntie Lyssa's on our ghetto makeshift slip n slide. There was not a whole lot of sliding happening but the kids had fun anyway. 




 Brothers hanging on the porch. 

Playing in the first rainstorm of the season with Daddy. 

I love this picture of Sheehan and the boys. I probably already have it somewhere but I don't mind seeing it twice. :)

Mr Smiley Vance. He's a sweet baby. 

Lincoln relaxing with his chips (which he pronounces "peach") and tablet. 

Lincoln is the FLASH!

Playing with another girl's dolls at the park. haha He's not too sure what to do with it but he wouldn't let it go. 

Giving baby Vance his caterpillar toy. At one time Lincoln was very good to share with his brother. 

Passed out on Daddy's lap. 




 He refused to nap so I told him to play quietly in his room. I walked in 2 minutes later and found this.....passed out cold. 

Playing at the splash pad with Felicity.





 Vance boy was loving this milk jug...he was sucking on it and wouldn't stop. It was hilarious. I think it felt good on his teeth. Too bad the kid won't take a bottle!!

 The best throwback pic of my Grandpa Clyde George Nelson when he was on the Price is Right. So cool...


Not such a great idea. I was cracking up though. He was pretty sad about getting stuck. 

Start em on the television shows young. Vance watching the tablet. He only pays attention to the intros while the music plays and he can rock to the beat. 

Bagheera getting cozy and cuddling with the baby and I in the rocking chair. 

Lincoln hides when he poops. He thinks I can't see him behind the basketball hoop. 

 Dad's family birthday party at the end of July. 

One of the few times Lincoln and Lexi are actually playing nicely together.

Grandma Bev's Birthday

We ladies took Grandma Bev to lunch at Guru's Cafe for her birthday. I love my Grandma. We are thrift shopping buddies. She always know how to get a good deal on anything. My Grandma has my back. ;) We loved visiting with her as she shared with us stories about her life and memories of my Grandfather Clyde Nelson "Papa". We all enjoyed the visit and I hope we make this a tradition.

Oh, How Wonderful it is to Have Green Grass


 It's taken living here for over two years and now we finally have a front yard to be proud of. I love it! Despite the landscapers breaking our sewer pipe and having multiple back ups. We made it through that fiasco and are done! It is so nice to have a fenced in area that Lincoln can run free and I can just relax knowing he isn't in the street or some strange dog is going to get him. We have had so many compliments on the house. Having the landscaping done has totally changed the look of the house. It just looks so much better.




SO HERE IT IS!!! ALL FINISHED IN TIME FOR PIONEER DAY!!!

Kiersten and Sheehan's Wedding Day! March 21st, 2009
