What Happened to the Nielson?

That's what happened to us! We have been so busy having tons of fun on our 8 day cruise to Mexico. I will try and get our blog updated soon with lots of pictures from our trip.

4th Picture Tag

Well, I didn't get tagged. The rules are you find the 4th folder with and the 4th picture in it and you post it. I saw it on someone's blog so I checked to see what mine would be and since I love this picture of Hannah I decided to tag myself. This is Hannah's new coat and the Franke's tricycle. Hannah loves riding it and is getting really fast!

I tag everyone who is reading this blog (I won't know if you cheat).

Halloween

Hannah dressed up in a little dress that I bought in Hong Kong for Halloween. Hannah really didn't want to wear the dress at first. When I explained that if she wears it she will get lots of treats she agreed to put it on. So that made her really excited.


Our first stop was trick or treating at Jake's work party. Everyone was in their office giving out candy. They all had tons of candy. I tried to tell Hannah to just take one, but everyone would say, "No take as many as you want." And you can imagine what 'as much as you want' means to a two year old.


Next, we went around the neighborhood for a little bit (even though we had PLENTY of candy already). I guess that's the benefit of being a first child.
After trick or treating we went to a Halloween party for a little bit. Jake won the doughnut eating contest. Even though we got there just after 7, Hannah was totally exhausted by 8 so we took her home and put her to bed.

Gymnastics

Hannah and I started a gymnastics class a couple months ago. She loves it! They
have lots of fun equipment and activities. Can you believe we fit all this in 45 minutes? I really think it helps Hannah learn to follow directions and it's great exercise. I am glad we will have some fun things to do during the cold months.


































The best part, of course, is having Kelty there to help her. Kelty is much better at following directions and Hannah is really good at following Kelty!

Girls Trip!

Last weekend we had a really fun girls trip in St. George. We went to see Les Mis at the Tuacahn. It is an amazing outdoor theater. I think everyone needs to go! The rest of the time we played games, watched movies, ate A LOT of peanut butter m&ms, and most importantly we shopped. It was nice to be able to shop without the kids. We had a great time!






































We single handedly tried to save the economy by all the shopping we did...and this is just shopping day 1!

Hannah's Favorite Quote

"No Hit! Go time out!"
And then she always points.

She says this over and over and over...I wonder who she is quoting ;)

Petting Zoo

We got to go to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point today. The bunnies were the HIGHLIGHT! When the bunnies would run to the back of the cage she would say, "Bunny, come!"










Mason and Hannah






I was so excited that she went on the pony this time. She loved it so much we went twice.
