Snowflake

Here is Kadence's new pet bunny. Her name is Snowflake(I know what your thinking-she didn't name him Bunny the Bunny!) She told me the other day when she grows up she is getting a dog named Snowflake but I guess she couldnt wait that long to use the name. Thankfully she didn't choose the wierd bunny with the pink eyes because it was freaking me out a bit.

Bye Bye Mullet

After

Before

After much thought, I finally cut off Charlie's adorable little baby mullet. I wanted to leave those little curls forever, but after Bryce said "Now that is a straight up mullet" the scissors came out. Here is a fun fact about mullets for you: Here in Florida they are known as an "Alabama Waterfall" while in Michigan they are known as a "Wisconsin Waterfall". You learn something new everyday.

Some Classic Kids in the Hall

Why watch curling when you can watch shirling? When the Olympics starts getting a little boring for you, just check out this rock-on sport. Why it is not an olympic event is beyond me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gu3mbl8SAk

A Little Clip

It might be the fact that he doesn't have an ear infection for the first time in 6 weeks, because Charlie has been talking a little this week and we are loving it! He is scheduled for ear tubes next month so hopefully if we can make it without an ear infection for the next 6weeks until surgery, the little guy can keep up all the talking!

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday Amya Bea and John Michael Nelson Bob! Hope you have great birthdays!

WII

We just had a Nelson vs Nelson game of WII Bowling and Kadence wasted us all by nailing 5 strikes in a row. Apparently, the key to throwing strikes is getting yourself completely airborne!

Trouble

Here is a picture of Charlie trying to throw away an important piece of paper that I dropped. Although the garbage cabinet is child-proofed he is constantly finding items that he feels the need to dispose of and pushes them through the 2 inch gap that the child-lock allows. This week I have found a ballet slipper, stickers, a plastic hamburger, a pen-light and a refridgerator magnet wedged in there next to the garbage can. He also ripped the door off of one of our barrister bookcase shelves-now the books are completely accessible to him and he throws them everywhere. Did I mention when you put him in time out or give his hand a little smack he laughs hysterically? Hey-stop laughing at my pain-seriously-it's not funny!
