Happy Birthday Logan!

So it was Logan's birthday on November 17th and my little guy turned 3! I can't believe he is already 3! He is such a sweetheart and he is always making us laugh! He is starting to jabber and talk a lot more which is really awesome! We love you Logan and hope you had a good birthday!
On his actual birthday we went to Applebee's for dinner
He was getting bored waiting for his food so Kurt turned on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and when his food finally came he didn't want to stop watching


The next night we had a little get together with my family. He was excited to see his "Choo Choo" cake

I wish I had put a little more thought into his cake, but he loved it and that's all that matters

Bummer I used the same picture! Sorry the pictures are blurry, I think we need a new camera! We also had a party with Kurt's family but Logan was a stink and I didn't get very good pics!

Halloween 2009

So we started off the morning with some yummy pancakes shaped as pumpkins (of course I forgot to take a picture). :( Then Braydon had a birthday party, then we headed to Kurt's brothers house for a little halloween party for the kids, then off to my grandparents for a quick hello, then off to meet up with my parents and my sister and her little family to go trick-or-treating. The kids had a blast!! Logan would run up to the door and say "teet teet", and then of course couldn't leave without saying "ba-bye" to everyone. Of course we came home with lots of candy so all in all we had a great time! Hope you all had a great Halloween too!

Braydon was "The Hulk"

Logan was "Shrek"

Kurt decided last minute that he did want to dress up so we pulled together some stuff that we had and were "Pirates"

Drum Roll Please...

Well it looks like some things will be changing at our house in a few months because we are having a little GIRL!!! That's right folks I said a little GIRL! I am still a little bit in shock myself and I totally didn't believe the doctor when he first told us. He said, "It looks like you broke the mold with this one." I sat right up and said, "What? Are you really serious?" We are really excited, of course a little nervous, but very excited! Finally I get to go shopping and have racks and racks to choose from instead of one half rack...Yahoo!! :)

...And then there were 3!

Yep thats right...we are expecting our third baby! I have kept it a secret long enough, and am getting way too excited to keep it any longer! I am about 16 weeks along and we are due the end of February. We just told Braydon last night and good thing we didn't tell him sooner because he was able to keep it a secret for all of about 12 hours! Anyway we find out what we are having next month and I am so excited! Braydon seems to think its a girl, so if it is a boy, I sure hope he takes it okay! :)

Kindergarten...Seriously??

So let me just start off with an apology for being the worst blogger ever throughout the summer! Hopefully I can ge tback on top of things again!

So the day has come that Braydon has started Kindergarten...which I have dreaded in a way but also been really excited for. We forgot to take the camera on "back to school" night, so I didn't get a picture of his teacher, but she seems like she is going to be great! He has only been for a couple days, but he loves it! The scariest part has been to let him ride the bus to and from school, but that too seems to be going really well too! He is such a smart kid and I know he is going to do great! Good Luck Boogies! We love you so much!

Braydon's Preschool Graduation

My baby is off to the "Big School"! I can't believe he will be in kindergarten next year! He is so excited and I am totally freaking out! He is so smart and I know he will do great. He has learned so much this last year and I am so proud of him! I love you "Boogies"!
It was hard to get a good picture of the whole class because of the way she had it set up...but here are some of the kids in his class.
Braydon and Mrs. Bridgette
One proud momma with her boy!
Grandma and Grandpa came too! (Logan wouldn't look at the camera because the sun was in his eyes!)
This is Braydon and Daniel...one of his best friends from school!

Pleasant Grove Canyon

A couple weeks ago we decided to go on a little hike up Pleasant Grove Canyon. It was such nice weather and the kids really wanted to get out. We packed some little lunches and away we went. Logan wasn't walking last year at this time...so he really loved just playing around and having fun!




This is a little cave that we saw...Braydon was nervous that a mountain lion lived in there

"7 Years Baby"

Kurt and I celebrated our 7 Year Anniversary this year (May 21, 2002)! I can't believe its been that long! I surprised Kurt and we went up to Midway and stayed at the Zermatt Resort for the night and my mom and dad watched the kids...(thanks a million). We went to dinner at Schneitters and then of course had to go get shakes at the Dairy Keen in Heber. We were too tired to go to a movie so we decided to order one at the hotel. We went into Park City the next day for some lunch and did a little shopping at the outlets. Nothing too spectacular...but it was so nice to just get away together for a minute and enjoy ourselves! I love you babe! Thanks again mom and dad for helping out with the kids!
This is us on our Wedding Day

And this is our little family...7 years later!

"So Sleepy"

On Sundays we usually get home from church, have a little snack, and then everybody (Kurt and the boys) take a nap. Logan didn't sleep for very long today. He wanted to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so I turned it on while I was getting dinner ready. After about 10 minutes I couldn't hear him. I walked around the corner of the couch, and this is what I found! He must have been so sleepy to have been able to fall asleep in this position! What a sweetheart!

"Easter 2009" and "Scrapbook USA" and "Singing to Logan"

Every Easter we get together with my grandparents, aunts/uncles and cousins (except Cass and Cameron...who we missed) on my mom's side and have a huge easter egg hunt, lunch and tons of activities! This year my grandpa reserved the Game Room up at Aspen Grove...we had a blast! The day started off with a bowling tournament on the Wii with the whole family. The winner was my grandpa...who had never even palyed before! (sorry I didn't get any pictures) :( Then we had a really yummy lunch with way too many things to fit onto one plate. Then the kids had there big easter egg hunt...in the rain that soon turned into snow. Then we came inside and played Bunco...I'm a big fan of that as well! Then we pulled out all the food again and had some leftovers and some dessert...even though we were still full from lunch. (on the Nilsen side, we can always eat) :) Then we colored eggs and frosted cookies. Then we played musical chairs and did the hokey pokey! The kids had a blast...and so did all the adults! My grandparents definitely know how to party! Thanks for all the fun!

Easter morning the kids woke up and found their easter eggs that they had colored the night before and also there baskets with some fun stuff inside. Then we headed over to my parents house for lunch and relaxing! All in all we had a great Easter this year!!


Logan decided he liked eating the candy more than anything
