Well, we finally moved. We finally have somewhere to call our own and feels like "home" more and more each day! We had so much help moving, and are very grateful. Most boxes are unpacked, we just have several little projects that will just take time. Some may never get done. But thats life... right?!?! I will try to post some pictures soon!

House Update

2009-09-01T10:16:00.002-07:00

For those of you that are curious about our house situation..... We were supposed to close on Aug 24th, but found some leaks in the house. We are waiting for the bank to decide whether or not they will fix the leaks before we sign the papers. We've been waiting a few weeks, and we extended our closing date til Sept. 4th. (Friday). Hopefully we will know something soon. There is a slight chance we may drop the entire thing... BUT we really don't want to. So we'll just have to see how it all works out..... for now, we're just waiting, waiting, waiting.....

Pictures!

2009-08-15T15:20:00.002-07:00

Carson is 3!

2009-07-24T13:48:00.003-07:00

Carson turned 3 on July 16th. Without planning anything he managed to get 3 cakes and little parties, on separate occasions, thanks to both grandmas and other cousins! Now everytime he sees a cake, he thinks it's for him, and asks me to "sing the birthday". I've been trying to explain to him that his b-day is over, but he doesn't understand. He's so cute. He is growing up way too fast. He is such a joy to have around and is the best big brother (most of the time). haha. Anyway, these are a few pictures of part of his b-day celebration.

Lewis Cabin @ Graham Moutain & Riggs Lake Pics

2009-07-15T08:02:00.004-07:00

Last weekend we enjoyed some time at the Lewis Cabin. The weather was beautiful! It was very exciting to have bears in camp every day! We played games, ate lots of good food, went fishing, and had an early b-day celebration for Carson. Thanks to Janae and Grandma Lewis for making the cake! Carson and Amrie had such a good time getting dirty and playing with cousins. And Heston just keeps getting fat! We were also able to have church at the cabin which is always wonderful! We had a great time!

Post Overload!

2009-06-23T14:28:00.002-07:00

Heston Lamar Lewis

2009-05-14T13:09:00.006-07:00

Born May 11, 2009

20 in Long

Well, he finally made it! I never thought the day would come, but it came and it started out with a number of different things going on. Just to do a quick recap of last week. Saturday we moved from Grandma Nelson's Home into Seth and Colleen Keelers nice townhouse in Tempe. We plan on being here until we can find a home.... Soon after getting some things unpacked and somewhat settled, I managed to go shut the door on my toe and ended up going to Urgent care and had to have it cut down less than half way. It wasn't fun.... Sunday we finished moving out of grandmas and made it to church in our new ward. In church I started having contractions, and did all day and through the night. At 5:00 Monday morning, I decided it was time to head in. Actually, on the way there the contractions started slowing down, but we continued anyway. Luckily enough for me, they said I could stay, but may have to induce me a little. At roughly 1 pm I got the epidural, then the doc broke my water around 4:00. They checked me a little later and was at a 8 and 90% effaced. Right then, the epidural started to wear off quite a bit and I had some (not so fun) contractions for a few minutes. I told the nurse I was ready to push and she didn't think I was ready. Although she did check me and sure enough it was time! About 2 little pushes later little Heston came into the world. What a cute little boy he is. We are so excited to have him in our home and family. Carson and Amrie are slowly adjusting, but will be fine. (I hope). Here are a few pictures from the journey, and I will post more as the days go on.

P.S. My mom has been the best help since Friday with the Move, delivery, kids, cooking, etc. I don't think I could have made it with out her these past few days! Also... thanks to everyone else that helped out with last minute moving, babysitting, cookies, or anything else. It has made the last week flow a little smoother! AND... of course I can't leave out my Amazing Husband as he is the best Husband and Daddy anyone could ask for. He helps out so much, while working two jobs. I love him very much! Thanks Nels!

Happy Birthday Amrie!

2009-04-09T15:48:00.004-07:00

She had a great birthday, and of course the main highlight was the cake!

Carson recently turned 2! He had such a fun time with his cousins at the little kid water park. Thanks to everyone who came to play!

The foolish man parked his car in a bad spot....and the rain.... came tumbling down!

2008-07-15T15:18:00.008-07:00

On Sunday the 13th it rained pretty hard for about 20 minutes, but no one thought that rain would cause this!! This is the entrance of our complex. It shows only a few cars but at first there were about 15 cars in the water.(people came and pushed them out). Anyway, Pretty crazy!!!! Luckily it wasn't one of our cars!

Kids will be kids!

2008-07-15T15:12:00.004-07:00

You can't really see the last picture very well, but Carson pulled out the drawer of the table and is standing in the drawer!Too funny! He knew he was doing something bad, but did it anyway.

I spent the last 2 weeks up in Snowflake because Nelson needed to go Camp Geronimo and I didn't want to be by myself. It was hard being away from him for so long, but I had lots of help, (especially from Erin my little sis!) and other family members. We got to see a huge heard of sheep that Carson kept calling cows. He learned so many new words while we were up in Snowflake. He still says Kyle all the time even though he's not around. We went to lots of softball games, played lots of card games, had a girls day out, watched movies, and just had a good time. It is good to be home again with Nelson and back to normal life! :-)

Cute Crazy Kids!

2008-06-11T14:57:00.001-07:00

Jaycee, Tyler and Carson ran back and forth over 90 times. They were definitely the entertainment for the evening!

Well this is LONG overdue, but I just wanted to give an update on Nelson. He finished his Bachelors in March with an Accounting Degree! He also just past an insurance test that he studied so hard for. He is the scoutmaster in our ward and has been preparing for Camp Geronimo, (it is alot of work!). He also works full time at the University of Phoenix, and is the best Daddy ever! I am so proud of him, and his accomplishments. He is always working on something and pushing forward to make life better. We love him very much!

7 random facts about me...

1. I love my body pillow and have a hard time sleeping without it! Maybe it's because I'm pregnant... but I love it! :-)

2. Nelson calls me the tornado because I can make a huge mess in seconds, but I can also clean up really fast too!

3. I have a bad habit of leaving the cupboards open in the kitchen. Nelson catches me doing it all the time. I don't mean to, it's just a bad habit!

4. I love flying. I haven't been on a airplane in a while, but i used to work for a company in which I got to fly alot, I miss it!

5. I do not like dreaming. I have dreams almost every night, and they are hardly ever good. The best feeling is to wake up and realize I was just dreaming.

6. I like to organize things. At least once a week I reorganize either a closet, the furniture, or something! It just makes things feel more clean and it's always fun to go through stuff that I haven't in a while... pictures, notes, books, etc.

7. I love Circus Animal Cookies. You know? The Pink and White ones with sprinkles??? They are so good!

I'm tagging Esther, Dayna, Sarah, LaRen, Candice, Lindsey, & Molly! :-)

We went to the Zoo on Tuesday with Colleen, Sarah, Dayna, Esther, and all their kids, and it was so fun. Carson loved all the animals! I will give ANYONE $100 if they can tell me who EVERYONE is in the picture. :-) Good Luck!

Uh Oh!

We caught Carson trying to put on my mascara. Unfortunately it wasn't the first or last time this happened!

Puppy!

We went to Snowflake this last weekend and there was two little puppies that Carson loved. (Although, he was trying to step on it several times!)

Carson in the back of the trailer, pulled by the 4-wheeler. He loved going for rides in it!

Remodeling the Family Room!

2007-09-24T18:20:00.001-07:00

Nelson & I have wanted to remodel this room for a while. The walls were green, and there was carpet. We extended the tile from the dining room and front entry into the family room. Alvin & Jessica Pease were nice to help paint. Also, during the remodel we had some problems with the outlets and it took around 7 hours to figure out exactly what was wrong. Alvin was a HUGE Help, along with his Dad "Uncle Clyde". Thanks to their help, our house didn't burn down! The room looks MUCH better now, and we are looking into getting some new couches or sectional! It's been fun. Thanks to Nelson for all of his hard work. The pictures may look like I did a lot, but Nelson did most of it! :-)

Sprucedale & Birthday!
