He's Here!!

Jared Carter Nielsen

Born 1:49 pm

7 lb 7oz

20 inches long

Things went really smooth, very little pain, and a lot faster than the other 2. I am feeling great and Jared is doing well. Todd about passed out (like usual, Love you Babe), so he is also doing good and is a Proud Papa.

We were visted today by Aunt Trudie, Gwen, Allie, Grandpa and Grandma Davis, and Great Grandma Izatt. Here are a few pictures.

I didn't see a lot of people before I had him, and they wanted to see how big I was. Here you go. I know it looks big in the picture, but everyone I talked to was so surprised I was as far along. You're so small, is something I heard a lot, But I didn't feel small :)

The BIG Day!!

Just letting everyone know I go in tomorrow (hopefully they have room) to have the baby. We'll let you know all the details soon after. We are pretty excited. Wish me luck!

At least they keep us laughing

Soccer

It has gone a bit better than baseball, I think because he gets to move all the time. It started rough as he liked to push, hit, bite, and wrestle the other players. The coaches often had to wrestle and chase him off the field, but now it is much better. He has even scored a few goals.

This is Michael's drawing of our family. Can you tell which one I am???

We visited Wyoming while Todd was in Alaska.

In this one, Jake was so tired, he fell asleep at dinner.

They love Dakota and she is so patient with them. I found them outside just sitting by her under Jake's blanket.



One night they stayed with Aunt Allison at her Apartment
and she bought them these knight outfits.

Michael loved his SO MUCH that he had to wear it everywhere, even to bathe.

Allison Discovered that Michael knows the Pledge of Alligence. I had no idea. He must have learned it at Preschool. (Way to go Ms. Ari!!) I forgot you can't turn the camera for video, so sorry it is sideways.

More Summer Fun

THINGS WE DID THIS SUMMER

We were able to take my train loving boys on the Heber Creeper.

It was a hot day and we sat in an outside car.

They loved the engine and were naming all the cars at the station.

Mom and the boys (Todd had to work)
The Boys with Grandma Davis

Excited for the ride.

(Note they are both wearing their favorite T-shirts, which they would wear everyday if I let them.)

We were Robbed!! Here is one of the Outlaws!

Stickum' Up!! Michael kept his hands up the whole time

(except when eating the chocolate coin they gave him.)

Jake and Derek with their hands in the air

Another thing Michael did was to take swimming lessons at Draper Pool.

We went twice a week for 3 weeks and he loved it!!

Jake wasn't into water this year, but maybe next year he can take some too.

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium and they were fascinated by all the animals.
Jake says this is a snake. Pretty close.

This is the entrance to the South American Section

T-Ball

Michael played T-Ball this summer. He liked to hit, but never quite learned where 1st base was. It didn't help that he liked to turn his helmet backwards and run without seeing.

When he did catch the ball, he was good to throw it to 1st, but

Most of the time he was bored and not interested in chasing the ball down.

He did like to dog pile and wrestle for the ball.

But, like any good thing, it always ended with a snack.

I know. Who wants to be on a sports team named the Turtles :)

Nielsen Look-alike Meter

To be honest these results were exactly opposite from what I was expecting, but I guess it is pretty close to even. I even think Todd and I look a lot alike. They say that usually happens in marriage :)
