Text of the page (random words):
proud to be their parents and little noah well he has brought so much joy into our family he just turned two and is talking like crazy he makes us laugh all of the time i just want to eat him up he adores his older brothers and tries to do everything they do which isn t always a good thing he s really into cars trucks trains motorcycles pretty much anything with wheels he s such a boy but he also loves the toy story movies right now and has to watch one every day i can pretty much ad lib all three movies he is a great napper still and sleeps really well through the night for us he is also our best eater he can put jonas to shame poor jonas is so skinny and small he is also a very picky eater and we keep telling him that noah is going to out grow him if he doesn t start eating better i mean the toddler will eat whatever i put in front of him and jonas is in the back round gagging i mean come on my cooking isn t that bad is it noah will eat raw tomatoes which i still can t get aaron to eat we had a scare with noah in november when he was hospitalized at primary children s with kawasaki s disease he was there for 1 week getting a treatment and has make a full recovery i hope jonas isn t feeling left out since he s the only one knock on wood that hasn t had a stay in the hospital thank goodness for modern medicine if his diagnosis went untreated he could have died but he is back to his old self again as for myself i feel very blessed to be able to stay home with the kids i love that i can be here for them to teach and nurture them as they grow i love being available to help with homework projects scouts sick days doctor appointments volunteering keeping the house in order making meals i love it all it really is fulfilling and i wouldn t change a thing about my life with the exception that i wish lucas were here to join in on the chaos i m currently serving as the first counselor in the relief society and i absolutely love the women i serve with and through this calling have had many opportunities to get to know the sisters in our ward they have been so welcoming and have embraced our family from day one well i think that pretty much sums it up i m sure i ve missed a few things here and there but that s what happens when i wait this long to update life is good posted by nelson family at 3 20 pm 1 comment tuesday february 1 2011 welcome baby noah we are proud to announce the arrival of our newest addition noah riley nelson was born on january 28t h weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and 18 1 2 inches long he looks just like aaron and has lots of dark brown hair the delivery couldn t have gone smoother and we feel very blessed to have a healthy baby boy and a healthy mommy as a result the boys absolutely love him and can t wait until he s old enough to laugh at the funny things they do i can already tell he s going to chunk up quickly because this kid is a bottomless pit he wants to eat all of the time which leaves little time to get anything else done i feel productive if i can get a shower in during the day yesterday we took noah to the doctor to check him for jaundice and on the way jonas asked if he was going to get a prize i told him i think they only give prizes to the patient and noah is the patient this time so after being on his best behavior during the visit jonas says i m so excited to get my prize i ve been so patient haven t i mom just for that comment he got a prize the doctor said that made his day kids are so funny my parents have been in town from st george helping us with the kids housework etc and it s been nice having them here hopefully i ll get some kind of routine down soon it s been awhile since we ve experienced the whole baby stage i totally forgot about packing a diaper bag for yesterdays appointment and realized how much thought and planning goes in when going anywhere with a baby i did manage to remember to pump some breast milk of course that does no good when you forget it on the kitchen counter anyway we are so happy and love all of our boys so much i wonder if lucas was giving noah some last min instructions and warnings about his new big brothers before he was born who knows what a miracle these little spirits are though you can just tell they come straight from our heavenly fathers arms i asked aaron to post a few pics soon so hopefully they will be up shortly i want to thank all of you for your friendship love and support we love you posted by nelson family at 2 29 pm 18 comments tuesday december 21 2010 a day to celebrate we just returned home from primary children s medical center for kaden s bone cyst check up that he has every 3 months we were told today that his cyst is totally filled in and completely healed we don t have to take him back for another 2 years just to make sure it doesn t come back i m so happy that for now we no longer have to worry about his arm breaking due to his bone cyst i m so grateful that we are all healthy and hope we never take it for granted to celebrate we let the boys get ice cream and french fries down stairs at the cafeteria i know not the healthiest lunch but we felt under the circumstances we d let the boys pick anyways aaron has the whole week before christmas off work so we have enjoyed having him home he has been busy converting our camcorder tapes onto dvd so that we can watch them more easily there is some video we totally forgot we had taken some of which contains video of lucas with the boys we got a little sad watching them but i m so glad that we have them last night for fhe we had the opportunity to go with friends to a retirement home and visit some elderly people we sang christmas carols and took gifts and it was a good experience i think the boys enjoyed it but they couldn t understand why some of them didn t speak well we are looking forward to christmas and spending time with family and remembering what christmas is all about the boys are still young and are so focused on presents treats and playing in the snow we try to remind them on a regular basis that christmas is a time to remember our savior and to do things for others and our last few fhe activities have focused around what christmas is all about but when asked what their favorite thing about christmas is it s still the presents treats and snow oh and no school but hopefully they ll have a better appreciation as they get older i don t know how many more years we ll be able to get away with the whole santa thing kaden has asked a lot of questions this year and i feel really guilty lying to him but i want just one more year of the magic of santa for him he says mom is santa real i reply with do you believe he s real yes then he is and i leave it with that jonas wants to know why we don t have a chimney and how santa gets in i told him that he has a special key that can open any door and with that he was satisfied well we wish everyone a very merry christmas full of peace and love until next time shannon posted by nelson family at 5 07 pm no comments wednesday december 8 2010 happy birthday lucas lucas today we honor you and remember the joy we felt when you first came to our family and everyday since happy birthday we love you posted by nelson family at 1 41 pm 1 comment thursday december 2 2010 much to be grateful for well i first must accept first prize for the worlds biggest slacker i can t believe it s been 3 months since our last post and for those of you who thought maybe we dropped off the face of the earth my apologies let s see where to begin kaden is in 2 nd grade and loves school jonas started preschool this year and is having a blast making new friends and learning many fun things halloween was great we went up to aaron s parents and my mother in law painted kaden s face he was dracula this year and jonas was ironman they did great trick or treating and we only got rained on for about 10 min total which wasn t bad we had our umbrellas just in case for thanksgiving we also went to my in laws and spent the evening eating ourselves stupid and visiting it was a nice relaxing holiday the day after we put up the christmas tree and made a gingerbread house it was a sticky mess but the boys did a great job we found out we are having another boy which i was expecting only because this pregnancy is so much like the others so i had a hunch am i disappointed well i think every woman wants to experience what it s like to have a daughter but i might just have to wait until my boys get married to have those girly bonds i love our boys and i am just so grateful that the baby appears to be healthy and strong and that we have the opportunity to have children period i m excited to meet him and his brothers are so thrilled to be getting another baby brother they love babies and making them smile and laugh it s nice that they will be old enough to be big helpers too aaron is doing well at work and we are so thankful that he still has a job times are tough for a lot of people and we feel very blessed to be stable financially right now we are all healthy and happy and just enjoying our time together as a family i m grateful for good friends who have been there for us through laughter and tears i m grateful for my testimony of the gospel and for a loving heavenly father and savior jesus christ who s love for me i can not deny their comfort has been a constant companion throughout this past year i can honestly say that without them i don t know if i could have found peace through the most difficult trial we have ever faced as a family we miss lucas terribly and think about him every day we will often sit down for dinner and reminisce about the funny things he would do i don t ever want the boys to forget their brother and so we keep him alive through our memories well that s all for now and i wish everyone a happy holiday season no matter what the circumstances there is always something to be grateful for posted by nelson family at 10 59 am 2 comments wednesday september 1 2010 remembering well shannon asked me to update the blog two trips ago so i admit i have been a slacker maybe one day i will get around to putting the pictures up too so here is the reader s digest version of what we have been up to at the end of july we took the family to st george for a long weekend getaway and to celebrate our anniversary it has been ten wonderful years when we arrived in st george shannon went shopping at the outlets for school clothes for the boys she got a lot of nice clothes for the new school year the next night we went to las vegas and stayed in a really nice suite at mandalay bay we ate ourselves silly at the seaside buffet that night the boys were staying in st george with shannon s parents the next morning we were roused to the telephone call informing us that kaden had fallen off the couch he was sleeping on and was complaining that his arm hurt we headed back to st george and took him to the insta care in st george they determined that his arm was broken and that it broke so easily because he has a bone cyst in his upper humerus well we enjoyed the rest of the vacation but kaden had to wear a sling on saturday night we went to tuacan and saw cats the musical it was entertaining and the boys liked it but it was so hot even at 10 00 pm the other trip that i took was to california to go surfing in san diego my brother and his friend came along because they had some work to do in ca and they wanted to catch some waves too we drove all night but stopped in las vegas and ate breakfast at an old casino at 3 am where they served decent breakfast for a few bucks between the hours of 11 00 pm and 7 00 am vegas is a different world when we did get to san diego the next morning the surf wasn t great but i was with my older brother and his friend who knew their way around ca so we headed north to huntington beach and found some waves in all we ended up going to san diego huntington beach newport las angeles venice beach as i mentioned my brother knows his way around that area and he took me to some amazing places to eat the best had to be the fish and calamari tacos in huntington beach on our way back from ca after spending a few days there we stopped in las vegas again and watched a cover band the crashers perform they are some pretty talented guys i had a good time and it was fun to hang out with my bro for a few days well this was a short and scattered post maybe shannon won t ask me to post anymore the boys have continued to say and do funny things both have started school and kaden is in soccer we feel so blessed to have them and are grateful to be expecting our fourth child now we hope to find out the gender in the next couple of weeks to end and maybe the whole reason i wrote anything tonight is because i was thinking of lucas tomorrow marks one year since he left us and returned to his father in heaven we miss him so much but try to focus on the positive things like the joy he brought to our family that he is no longer battling cancer and going through all that came with it and that he is now with his heavenly father free from care and pain lucas we love and miss you and look forward to the day that we can hold you again tomorrow will be a special opportunity to honor you and remember you as we do everyday we love you posted by nelson family at 10 10 pm 3 comments sunday july 25 2010 big news well we are excited to announce that we will be adding a new member into our family my due date is feb 3 and we couldn t be more excited i had a little scare at my appointment last week when the doctor couldn t find a heart beat however an ultrasound later that day confirmed that everything looked good i think it s still sinking in and although we are thrilled we can t help but feel a little anxious in hopes that the baby will be born without complications we know that no one is exempt from the possibilities of health problems but we can t let our fears hinder the possibilities of receiving wonderful blessings if that makes any sense aaron is still enjoying his job and doing well there we feel very blessed that he still has employment during this difficult economic time he recently ran in the wasatch back race or ragnar with a group of friends it consists of just over 180 miles where each team member takes different legs to complete the race he had a great time and wants to do it again next year the boys are having a great summer now that i m feeling better i wasn t exactly the most fun and present mother during my bouts with morning sickness but now that it s over i ve tried to make up for it they love to ride their bikes outside and do anything that involves water whether it be playing in the sprinklers swimming or going to the water slide park kaden s newest interest is skateboarding he received one for christmas and due to the bad winter weather he didn t try it out until recently aaron went and bought himself a skateboard yesterday yes he s almost 35 years old but he used to be quite the expert when he was a ki...
