Sledding!

We made our annual trip to Flagstaff today to go sledding. It was 60 degrees and beautiful! Most of us didn't wear coats or gloves because it was so warm. We got lots of sledding in and threw lots of snowballs. Charlie even had a run down the hill! Kadence is having a ball with her cousins and Robin and so are we!

Out of the office...

We are in Arizona for the next two weeks so I am warning everyone that I will be majorly slacking on the blog-front. Christmas, baptism and sledding pictures will be coming after January 6th! Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Week!

Merry Christmas!

REVENGE!

For all those wondering where the picture is, the website will not let me download it which I find very strange. I will be trying again later. For those wondering what picture is to be posted, Bryce has sought revenge towards his siblings and has demanded his sisters be posted alongside of his Dad. All personal threats and scroogery should be directed to him. Pictures-coming soon to a website near you!

I just can't help myself

I just love posting pictures of my little buddy-he is so cute! It is so fun to listen to Kadence talk to him. She will be walking by and just look at him and say "Hi buddy" and keep moving. She always tells me what he needs when he is crying and she is usually right. It's like he has been here forever!

Gingerbread House

Here is the gingerbread house that Kadence and I put together. She decorated the roof and ate lots of candy along the way! She looks so sweet and innocent, its hard to imagine that hours later at a birthday party she assaulted the jumpy house guy that was picking the jumpy house up! She swatted him with a balloon and screamed "NO!" when she saw him deflate it!

2 Weeks Until Christmas

Well, Cheryl prevails again somehow so here is Bryce's picture. Just to make things a little more interesting next week, the new poll will feature the creator of all these Nelson kids: the Burt man himself in a head to head battle with Carol. Good luck you two!

Dilemma

I am wondering what picture I am going to post tomorrow if Bryce and Cheryl are still tied for votes. If anyone happens to have a picture of Cheryl and Bryce exposing their behinds please send it my way!

Return Policy

The out of pocket cost for delivering this cute little guy is over $2800, despite the lenient return policy, we've decided to keep him.

Smiley Guy!

Charlie is starting to give us some smiles lately! He has also been rolling from his tummy to his back when I lay him down to do tummy time! He has been doing it since his 4 week birthday which basically beats Kadence's record of doing it at 7 months by a longshot!

Snowfest

Here is Kadence sledding this weekend at the St. Pete Snowfest. She was one of the smallest kids I saw sled on her own. It was a relief that she made it down without falling off the sled because due to 75degree weather conditions the snow was actually knife sharp shards of ice that were shredding people's arms up like road rash when they fell.

We watched the Santa parade which had an awesome Star Wars group that looked like they stepped right out of the movie complete with a "real" R2D2 leading their group. Kadence talked all day about the storm trooper who pointed his gun at her.

Some wierdo had his pet Anaconda around his neck at the parade and Kadence did not give up until Bryce took her over there to see it. Some other kids joined in and the man looked at Bryce and said "It is ok?" because he wanted to put the snake around our kids neck, when Bryce said yes the guy started putting it around some other little girl's neck! Bryce was standing there saying "Wait thats not my kid!" I bet her parents were freaking out!

A Cheeky Tie

There are no butts about it...it was a tie. Carol and Bryce you should either be ashamed at or very proud of the votes you conjured up this week. As Burt Nelson said "Most people gain hindsight with age, but these two have lost it!"

Now as for the pictures that I thought I would be posting, they are still up for grabs for next week. The Polls are officially open again!

The Poll

I am shocked to see that now that I have a poll posted that determines who will be embarassed on this blog next, it has the most votes of any poll I have ever posted! Just shows what kind of friends we have! Carol, I know you are nervous about this but think of it this way, if you had nicer friends they could save you from any possible humiliation-they just don't want to! Bryce is slightly upset to see that you two have been in a dead heat! I have a doozy of a picture of him(and just about everyone else, ironically there were no really great ones of John who I am sure would not be embarassed of anything anyways!) Keep up the votes everyone!

The Scowl

Charlie is constantly scowling at everything as you can see by his forehead. He will have to get botox soon if he keeps this up.

Kadence the Monster

Kadence wanted to have her "monster face" posted, so here it is...

Bon Voyage!

Here are the Nelson parents leaving our house to go on a cruise out of Tampa. They called 2 hours after this picture to brag about eating gourmet food on the lido deck! My left over soup for dinner last night was even more unappetizing when I imagined them ordering seconds of lobster tail and filet mignon!

The Nelson Weekly Advent Calendar

You have all heard by now that I did some recognisance work at the Nelson's house on Thanksgiving. I have decided that each week until Christmas a posting of each Nelson child will be presented as a countdown to Christmas. John will be the first posting instead of Cheryl because she has been a blogging maniac the last few days so I truly cannot punish her for being lazy like I said I would. So here it is, just over 3 weeks until Christmas!
