Spring!!

 

OK, so I almost forgot I was blogging again! I've been lazy on the post lately so this will include the last month or so!! We have been busy so, I have a lot to talk about!! This may not be in order of how things actually happened but, I try to keep a accurate order of events!!

Jaden got his "BIG" cast off!! But, he got another one on. His leg is healing but not completely correct. It has about a 5% shift. Doctor said it ok though. We go back in 3 weeks to get the walking cast taken off!! This has been a long learning experience.

Jaden has also lost another tooth!! That bring the total to 4. 2 top and 2 bottom.

Justin and I have been married for 8 years now!! I am so grateful for him! Marriage is definitely not easy but, it is worth it! He still makes me laugh! He is a GREAT Dad and my best friend! I'm grateful he has put up with me for this long!

Collin is 5 now!! I can't believe that he is almost in kindergarten now. I feel like I'm getting old!! He is such a good kid! He got a bike for his birthday and also a Bat mobile, clothes, CARS ramp and CARS coloring book. Justin and I couldn't wait to see his face when he got the bike so we gave it to him a day early!!

We had the Nelson family reunion. I'm not usually a reunion type person but, we had a BBQ with most of the cousins the night before. It was SO fun!! We got to play with all the kids and have good food and play fun games!!

I've decided that I am going to run a marathon. I wont be until the end of next year though and let me explain why. Justin and I plan on having another(and the last) baby some time around the beginning of next year. I want to start getting into running shape before I get pregnant so I can still run during my pregnancy. I love running! This will be the start of my 6th week tomorrow. I have great friend that is running with me!! Rachelle, is awesome!!

Justin's Grandma passed away about a week and a 1/2 ago. Her funeral service was last week. It was hard to see her go but, we know that she is better now. She was battling cancer for a while now. She had chemotherapy but, it did not get rid of the cancer completely. It eventually came back with a vengeance. She was such a nice lady! It was hard to see Justin and Trassie (Justin's Mom) go through that experience. I know that Barbara is feeling better and is in a much better place but, It was hard for me to see them hurt so bad. The funeral service was nice and Justin was able to give a talk about the plan of salvation. I think that was help for for him and his family. He is such an grate example to them and to me and his boys! 

I almost forgot about Easter. It was nice to be able to watch conference Easter weekend. Nice not to have to rush around to get ready for church. Nicer to be able to take it easy! I’m grateful for the Atonement. I have been pondering about it a lot lately.  I’m grateful to know that I am not going through life alone, although, I don’t always to remember to ask the Lord for help, I sometimes feel alone. I love the refreshing feeling I get when I feel down and alone and then remember that I have the Lord to depend on, to pray to and rely on. I realize that the Atonement is not just Christ atoning for our sins but, that he felt everything we have gone through. He has felt our joy, our pain, our loneliness, our happiness. Everything we have gone through or will ever go through he has been through. That gives me a peaceful, comforting feeling.

 

Justin and I almost forgot to get the boys Easter baskets!! The boys ended up with Easter buckets filled with tissue paper instead of grass. When I went to the store to get the baskets and grass they were clean out!! Ha Ha oh well!! I can you the buckets for cleaning now!!

I haven’t mentioned anything about Cutler. He is such a goof ball!! He is so funny! Always keep us laughing. This kid is crazy! He is NOT a morning person. If you wake him up in the morning or is up before he wants to be, he is a crab!! It cracks me up! We have to wake him up nice and careful, make him think it was his idea he is waking up. So we normally let him sleep as long as he wants!! Other than that he is a super happy, super funny kid!!
