I'm Back!!!

So...to my cute family and friends who are wondering where i am. Well, i am alive. And i have to blame my MIA on this annoying Internet that seriously works half the time or less ( i am so sick of electronics not working at my house!) And i have been a little slacker on updating my blog. I need to play catch up because a lot has gone on at the Nielsen's this past month.

First of all, Brandon has been very busy finishing up school. Yeah! Only three more weeks to go until his bachelor degree. I guess you're never too old to finish.

Our sweet busy Olivia is 10 months old and has started to walk. I don't know if that is good or bad. She is already so busy. She loves to be in the cupboards and pulls everything out. She loves the dishwasher, she has turned into our little vacuum cleaner by putting everything in her mouth, including poop. We love her to pieces, i just wish the teething would end, it is such a long process.

Ashlyn is busy playing soccer. This season has been so much fun because the kids really understand the game and it is a lot more competitive. I am one of those embarrassing moms on the side lines cheering and screaming loudly. " GO ASH!!!"

Ryder started preschool with his cousin Weston. What fun memories that are being created. He is loving school and really likes his teacher, Miss Terri. Plus, i get a nice 2 1/2 hr. break!!!


It's Hunting Season!!!! this is a picture of Brandon with his dad and brother.



Brandon's sister and her family moved to New Zealand. We will miss them a lot. My kids are very close to their cousins. Kelly, if you are reading this, it is time to start blogging!!!
