Bill Gates...LOOK OUT!

"One more minute!" are Tristan's words as he plays on the computer. He is such a clever little tyke. When he comes to Aunt Bonnie's, he always so happy and smiling that big wonderful smile of his, and ALWAYS comes running to give Aunt Bonnie her hugs and kisses before he does ANYTHING else!

Sabrina's New Hat!

We found this hat at Tai-Pan in the mall in Orem. It was just so cute I couldn't resist. Sabrina looks absolutely fantastic in all hats, any shape or size. She poses like a pro too. She'd have fun in a photo shoot I think!


My little girl, starting to grow up so fast. By looking at this smile you would never know that this morning she left for school in a big huff! Her hair wasn't right and I (her mother) couldn't do it right either...."I guess I'll just go to school with dumb hair!"

I keep wondering how rocky the roads ahead will be as we enter the pre-teen and teenager years. I may never an ATV with amazing GPS to get me through!

A video for Uncle Allen

Allen put me under strict instructions to take some photos and videos while the kids were here. They were all running around so much that I couldn't quite get them all in, but this is a pretty good one! Tristan is going to a little sports class at home where he is learning how to throw a football, where you point to where you are going to throw it. Watch Bella carefully, she'll point, just not quite at the right time.

Fashion Diva

"They're Here!" "Finally"--these are the words spoken by my children as Aunt Megan and the kids pulled up to come stay a few days!

Little Miss Bella had her glasses on, ready for anything!

Bella is so much like her mother, accessorizes with a little flair!

Say Cheese!

What a cutie! Smiling for Mom.

Just some little photos of Will!

Hidden Treasures in Spring!

Bella Reese and Tristan came over the other day. Mia and Bella have become great little friends and play really well together. They discovered some spring flowers that were starting to pop up in the yard and were so excited. They came into the house, where Mia picked out 2 mugs to go water the flowers with. After several trips to the kitchen, the flowers were hydrated and looking beautiful. The children were so fun to watch, so excited and laughing and having such a great time. It was somewhat difficult to watch knowing we'll be moving so far away in May. I've been a little spoiled always having Megan and her family around for the last 9 years it will be hard not to see them and get hugs and kisses from my 2 little Nelson children and don't forget, what will they do when AUNT BONNIE leaves. (I am their favorite.....just don't tell Rebecca!)

William's Little Giggle

William finds all his siblings to be comedians these days. Spencer (along with sidekick Mia) had William really giggling in his swing last night. Here is a mini clip of it, Will starts to notice his mother filming and doesn't laugh quite a hard as he was, but it will give you a sense of his little giggle!

Grandma's Little Helper

Mia is Grandma's little shadow when she comes to visit. This visit, however, has been a tad different than the others. Mother is packing me up and getting EVERYTHING ready to go to Norway. Thanks goodness for mothers. I really think there is a special place in heaven reserved for mothers like mine. She has come down to Utah, too many times to count, and saved the day. She cleans, packs, throws away, organizes not only my stuff, but my life as well. Sometimes a tad too much, maybe, but that is what makes her my mother. If something is in the wrong place, she'll move it to the correct place, and 9 times out of 10, she's right!

So I captured little Mia here helping Grandma (you see I needed to do some bags for our Relief Society birthday party) put the bags together. Bless Mother's heart, she is so patience with her as Mia pulls out, unpacks and sometimes undoes everything mom has been working on. However, little Mia has been a great little helper when it comes to deciding on what we need to sell, keep, ship or throw out. I've heard many a times lately, "Sell Grandma, Sell!"
Thank-you Mother, I really couldn't have done this without you. You are one in a million and I love you!

Little Phil

William is starting to get the nickname of Little Phil! He looks a lot like his Grandad. Here he his, sleeping in his car seat! What a cutie!
