Surprises! I Love 'Em!

Have you ever had a really good surprise? My husband is #1 when it comes to great surprises! When we were dating he surprised me with a trip to California for the day just to swim in the ocean because I never had before in my life. He picked me up at 3am we drove to the airport, boarded our plane and spent the day in So Cal. swimming in the salt water. I think his biggest surprise on that trip was the $39.98 spent ALONE in freshly squeezed orange juice on the Queen Mary:), financial planners love that! Needless to say it was an amazing surprise to go with all the very many he spoiles me with!

Anyways, to my story. When we were up in Canada for Magrath Days I had a feeling we might be expecting a new bundle of joy at the end of April. When we got home I made an appointment with my doctor for my 6-7week first pregnancy visit. Last week I went in and as I saw my little baby on the ultra sound I could not believe how big the baby was and how well I could see everything! I saw the baby's face, arms etc. Then the doctor ask if I was ready to find out what the sex of my baby was and my reply, "how can you? I'm only 7 weeks along." "Oh no, " said my doctor, "you're 17 1/2 weeks along, your due date is at the end of January!" I couldn't believe it!

Wow, this baby, like all my other little angles, is certainly ment to be here. I have a set of Irish twins and just weeks short of another! I think this is the best surprise a mother could ask for:)!

PS. I have been trying to post my pics from the summer. I'm getting there, but I know I am a terrible blogger. But believe me when I say I'm working on it!

Baby Sister

Our baby sister, also know as Yayee (Lotti) has grown so much these last 5 months! Here is a list of some of the things that have happened and that you have learned to do so far in life!
*You love to watch T & B play. You sometimes end up being the baby dragon they shoot their Nerf guns at.

*You grab your toes and feet! Just learned to do that a few days ago.

*A big smile is always on your face & you love love love to giggle!

*Matching is a must with big sister.

* In the morning you look like a baby chick with your fluffy blonde hair!

*You talk non stop!

*You're a cat napper.

*Rice cereal is now your favorite, after bottles of course.

*You are so chubby!

We love you baby Charlotte, you have such a sweet disposition about you and everyone is captivated by you!

Happy Anniversary

This post should have been made 7 months ago, however our computer was broken which made it impossible to really post anything. But now that we have a computer at home my blog will be a little more up-to-date rather then "8months ago" underneath my name.

This year (or I guess I should say last year) Blake and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. We usually have been given new born babies for our anniversary gift :),but this year my finacial planner suggested not to get one another anything. Does anyone fall for this trick? Unfortunately I have,too many times. So with no gift on hand I was surprised with a full body message,dinner and a movie. He always does so much for me and its always such a surprise! To top the night off I came,home went up stairs to find my hiding children, only to find a beautiful new slay bed and bedroom set! What a stud!I love ya babe thanks for the best 5 years yet! And the 3 cutest little rascals a girl could ever ask for!

Coming Soon...

Hello everyone! I hope all is well! We have been busy here at the Nelson household! I have been meaning to post all of our activities on our blog, however our computer finally gave up the ghost and I'm not sure that it will even turn on anymore. Since all I can figure out on Blake's computer is to write a line or two, with zero pictures, I am excited to say that we are getting a new computer! Soon I hope. Well, we've talked about it and I'm sure it will be here before you know it. Not that many people read this little blog, probably only my mom:). So stay tuned there is much to write and post about! My little dolly is getting bigger by the day!and giggles non stop, sassy stories about my princess and funny sayings from my studmuffin.

See you soon!

Tristan Errol

Me: "Tristan how is your pizza?", Tristan: "Its a little bit awesome mom!"

I know what you're all thinking, does Megan still blog? Yes I do and I have been meaning to post more stories about our little "circus" for quite some time now. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, new baby! and much more I have neglected to post something about the young man in my life that I love so much, my Tristan.

If you asked me a year ago if I thought this little one would be talking my ear off as he is now I would probably tell you no. However, we have come along way from our biting days, Tristan has grown so much in just a year. He loves school and primary and is such a social butterfly! And did I mention class clown?! He knows all is letters & sounds, writes his name, reads and spells car, hat, bat, cat, Super Why, ball, Bella, mom & dad, tells jokes, rides his bike, loves basketball, football and golf, knows his numbers 1-20, loves puzzles and books and has enormous energy from the time he wakes up in the morning until he falls asleep. :) Since before he could walk he has loved Lightening McQueen and it is still his toy of choice. Lately, he has been into Kungfu, and the other night for our family movie night we watched Karate Kid (with Will Smith's son) and with a big bowel of popcorn in his hand he stood on our couch and kungfued a kick in the air while jumping off. He is a ton of fun but most of all he is the biggest sweetheart with the kindest heart. I love to pick him up from school as he screams my name and runs towards me with a huge hug ready for me! I love, love, love this little guy!

Charlotte Ruth

She is Here! Our baby girl came to us Januray 12th at 11:09pm! Charlotte Ruth is her beautiful name (after Grandma T) and she is such a special little thing! She was 7 lbs, 6oz and 21 inches long. There something so special about holding and rocking a sweet baby girl in your arms, she brings such a sweet spirit into our home! I'm so greatful to be this little babe's mother.

So far Little Lottie has survived more then her fair share. Buzz Lightyear skims over her little face, she was the hurrdle in the 100 meter, and has taken her first trip down our stairs (that one is still too hard to write about for mom). She is such a beautiful little thing and such a wonderful baby!

Thanks to everyone for their help, gifts and yummy dinners. Especially Aunt Bonnie and the baby swing, it is my life saver and most important, Grandma Tollestrup who brought beautiful gifts, drove 750miles both ways, cooked, cleaned and put up with her youngest daughter! Thanks mother as I could not have done this little adventure without you!

"Miss B turns 3!"

I can't believe my baby is now 3 years old! It feels like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital and Tristan would crawl up to her, grab her bottle out of her mouth and start drinking! She has taken a lot of abuse from big brother "T-Dawg" but has learned much from him too, such as running away from mom in the grocery store, shutting the door on dad and mom, how to throw a football and how to write the letter "B".

Remembering when we had a feeling we were going to be expecting another baby (only about 10 weeks after having Tristan) we both were so excited! And even more so when w

This little princess can be very shy, however she has a very big personality when you get to know her.

Some of my favorite things about my baby doll are...

*Her blanket. You can't say anything about Bella without saying something about "Ning Ning". Ning Ning comes to dance, shopping, church, park, tramp, the Tree house or Discovering Gateway and I even catch her in the sand box digging for some burried treasure!
*She loves Cinderella!
*Her entourage of animals, baby dolls, purses, jewelry, makeup etc. It changes everyday and every morning she comes downstairs with her arms full of treasures.
*How she calls the church "Daddy's Temple".
*Bella is learning along side big brother and knows how to spell her name. She loves to learn.
*Before she could walk she would pack around this mini baby in her purse. She loves loves LOVES little babies and cannot wait for new little sister to come home.
*I love how she says "thank you" and "you're welcome".
*I love how she calls Tristan "T-Dawg!"
*With having this baby my back has hurt and I often say how uncomfortable I am. Little do I know little ears are listening. I asked Bella to clean up her puzzles and her reply was, "but Mom, by back and my tummy and my head hurts! I can't pick up my puzzles!"
*I love how she puts on her lip gloss.
* Bella is very shy, but has a big personality. I love to hear her little conversations with Tristan, her friends and Ning Ning. She is a funny little girl.
*She loves to sing and its fun to catch her sing to her dolls and animals.
*She loves her Daddy! The excitment starts when she hears the garage door open!
*Her laugh!!! Reminds me a lot of her Daddy's :)
*Hugs and kisses to T-Dawg when we drop off and pick-up from school.

I love this little princess! She has brought so much joy and happiness into our little home!

Happy Birthday Beautiful!
