POPcorn balls

A couple of weeks ago we went to Nana's (Heidi's mom) to make popcorn balls. Ella was very excited, I don't think she really knew what popcorn balls were. She had more fun watching the popcorn POP! We (my mom, brother and myself) made these every year when we were kids. Back then we gave these out to the Trick or Treaters. YUMMY!!
We had a FUN time :)

5 years ago today I became Mrs. Nelson

Broken Camera

I have not posted any pics lately, because my camera is not working. The Auto Focus is broke. I took it to Best Buy, were we bought it. Luckily it is under warranty, so they will repair it and send to me. If I can find the old Kodak Easy Share, I will post pics. I am hoping I can find it, because the kids are growing too fast, especially Owen. He is really starting to smile and laugh alot. Too cute:)

Ella got her hair cut...

Yesterday Ella got her hair cut (trimmed up). She did fairly well, other than taking Jordan's spray bottle and spraying us, everything else was fine.
She looked like such a BIG girl in the chair. She did not quite like the cape, she kept acting like it was choking her, I think I have a DRAMA QUEEN on my hands!

*Some pics are blurry, my camera is acting crazy :(

Birthday Party FUN!

Saturday we went to a birthday party, or as the birthday boy's mother would call it "A Hillbilly Shooting Party". HA! The birthday boy, Jonah turned 12 years old. He wanted to have friends over and set up shooting targets and shoot their shot guns, so that is what they did. You can do that kind of thing when you live in the country. We told Ella she had to wear ear protection, she HAD to put them on in the truck on the way to their house. She was more than ready. HA! They had a great time until the rain began. Ella had a wonderful time with all of the children to play with.
I had to remind her several times to NOT blow out J's candles when it came time to sing happy birthday. She tends to do that at birthday parties. You can tell by the pics that she had to really refrain from blowing! HA! The birthday cake was special, because J drew the pic on it, at Sam's they can put a picture as icing on any cake. Kind of cool!
Lauren and her baby Lola, who is 7 months old were there. Ella had to play "mother hen" to her. Ella would not get out of her face, would not let her crawl, I guess she thought she needing to baby her like she does her brother.
Owen sleep most of the time and was held by everyone.
We had a fun time!
Happy, Happy Birthday Jonah!!!

Princess

This is all I have heard for the last week or so. Ella is always saying "Momma Princess". She told me she wants to be a Princess for Halloween. My mom brought over some "Princess dresses". She practically lives in these.

1 Month Check-Up ~ Owen

Owen had his 1 month check-up today. He got 1 shot ): He did okay, just cried a minute or two. He weighs 11 pounds 9 1/2 oz and is 23 1/4 inches. This means he is in the 95th percentile for height and weight. The DOC said he is a BIG boy and is perfect!!!! (:

Ella got the FLU mist while we where at the doctors office. The DOC really recommend all of us get the vaccine, since Owen can not get it until he is 1 year old. Ella did AWESOME!!!!! She did not make a move or a sound!!!! YEAH!!!

I got my FLU shot today at Walgreens. I have NEVER gotten the FLU vaccine, but thought I should now that it is FLU season and we have a newborn and Ella. It was not too bad.

Chris got his FLU mist at work, so we are all covered. I hope this means we all stay well!

Owen has been a little fussy this afternoon, so he is sleeping and I am going to catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's while I can.
