Happy Halloween!!

I used to love Halloween when I was little, but the last couple of years I haven't been in to it, but it all changed when I had a baby to play with :) It was really fun to dress Keely up in a costume and take pictures. Keely insited dressing up as a giraffe. I couldn't help buying it, she was just too darn cute in it. Amanda was kind enough to have Courtney and I over to take pictures and eat some desserts. Madden was bee and Jaxon was a chicken. Those two boys are so cute. It was fun going over there to take pictures. Us moms probably looked so funny trying to get those three to smile and flashing our cameras like crazy. I think you could totally tell that we are all first time moms. :)

I was suprised that Keely didn't really mind her costume. She is so silly. Next year I think Keely will enjoy Halloween more when she knows what is going on, and can actually go trick or treating. But anyway that was our Halloween, I hope everyone else had a good one too!

My Very Own!

So about 3 weeks ago, my mom asked me if I would accept a piano she found, and I was like YES YES! I was so excited, because it was only $125 from a lady in Heber that drives the school buses. I didn't know she was going to buy it for me though. She said my dad was so excited to be able to buy me a piano. On Thursday she brought it down to me, and Shawn and Jason (two very strong men, I might add) brought it in for me. I love it. I can't believe I have my very own piano! I can't wait till I get good again; I have been so out of practice for a long time. Keely thinks it is her new toy, which she might as well because it is in her room. She climbs up there and hits the keys, it is funny. It makes it a little tight in our small townhome but it's alright. But here are some pictures. Thanks again Mommy!

For Grandma and Papa!

Grandma and Papa Nelson are vacationing in New Zealand and Australia for the next 2 weeks and they wanted to see their Keely. Keely now has 2 more teeth that popped in two days ago, so making a total of 8 teeth. I love her teeth. She is so cute when she smiles. I know Keely misses them, and I haven't posted anything new lately so I thought I would post some pictures. So here are some pictures of the last couple of weeks of Keely.

A few weeks ago we went to my mom's house for conference and these are at her house.

Keely had a ball in the lid drawer. When we went outside, she loved the wagon and got so mad at us when we took her out. She would scream bloody murder at me.

I thought this picture was cute. She was so interested in what Shawn was doing that she stood on his feet to see. We went to the park one Sat. and she mostly stayed on the blanket. I don't think she likes the grass too much.



















I was so happy, the other day Keely fell asleep on me! She hadn't done that since she was like 3 months old, and she has done it a couple of times since. It makes me so happy; I love it so much. It made my day when she did that. (I don't know why that is underlined, I couldn't get it off.)




Last night we went to Peter Piper Pizza with Jason and Courtney because Courtney and I have husbands who are so silly. They wanted to play the arcade games (mainly the basketball one) and get some pizza. They are so funny. It was a lot of fun. Keely didn't like Shawn shooting the basketball. It was scaring her for some reason. She had fun with Jaxon. It will be so fun when he gets older.


Anyway that's all I have for now!

SNOT!

Well Keely has had a cold for the past few days with a stuffy nose, and today it started to run! Haha it was so funny. I set her in her chair with some goldfish and I turned around and there was ton of snot running down her nose almost making it in her mouth. It was so funny, so I thought I would take a picture. All day she has been pushing my hand away from wiping her nose, but she didn't care that I wiped that away (yes I wiped it away after I tood the picture). I am sure once she is older she is going to thank me for this post. :)

Where Has My Baby Gone?

Two days ago Keely started pulling herself up on the couch. The first time she did it, you should have seen the look on her face. She was so proud of herself. Haha, it was so funny; she is a goof sometimes. I thought this picture was cute, so I wanted to post it. She looks so old in this picture. I am afraid that she will be walking soon and then I won't have a baby anymore. It makes me so sad.

The Happiest Place on Earth

Since September of 2006 Shawn's family had been planning to go to Disneyland in September of 2007. So we just got back from California, well last week we did. It was a lot of fun. All of Shawn's brothers and sisters were able to make it. It was a big deal to get everyone there because Grandma had to get her Christmas pictures there. :) She is so funny.




Well Shawn and I left Saturday (about a week ago) morning and headed to Riverside, CA so we could go to a ward that was in Shawn's mission. We stayed at a really nice Hilton which was pretty cool, and on Sunday we went to his missionary ward, but he was kind of bummed because he didn't see anyone there that he really wanted to see. After church we headed to Newport beach, so Keely could have her first beach experience, which did not go well I might add. She has never really been outside because it is always so dang hot, so she hated the feel of the sand in her feet, and she detested the water as well. After that we headed to Anaheim to check into our next hotel which was called the Castle Inn across from Disney land. About 2 hours after we check in, we had a little incident. Shawn left the room while Keely was on the bed and she fell off and her teeth cut her bottom lip. She was bleeding and crying and I was crying. I think Shawn got a little frustrated with the girly emotions. :) Anyway, so the next day we walked across the street to Disneyland. Keely loved seeing all the people there. Everytime we were in line for something, she was smiling at someone and they would comment on how much she smiles and what happy baby she was. She was so funny with all those people. Let's see what rides did we take her on? She absolutely loved Small World, hated Pirates, loved the tiki room, liked Buzz light year and dumbo, wasn't too fond of the carousel, I think that is it. I wish she was older when we took her so she could remember but oh well we got some good pictures.




At the end of our last day we were taking a picture of Shawn, me and Keely in front of the park and Mikey came right in our picture. He was no where to be found and there he was! It was so funny. I felt so special. We had been looking for him all day and he came to us! Keely loved him. She would not keep her eyes off him. It was too cute.




I didn't think it would be as hard as it was to take her, but going on vacation with a baby was a lot of work, especially in Disneyland because she got so sick of her stroller and being held, she just wanted to be down. I don't know if I would go to Disneyland again with a baby. It feels so good to be home!:)

Dirty!

So today I had to go into work to pick up more stuff to work on and apparently our office is dirty! It looks like she got her self into a bunch of coal to play with. I don't know why it is so dirty. It is brand new carpet. I thought she would get more dirty at home but I guess at the office there is more traffic. Everytime we get home from the office she looks like this. It is so gross! If she would crawl on her knees instead of scooting her belly around maybe she wouldn't look like that :) But even her toes, knee, and elbows get so dirty now. I think she is going to ruin all her clothes, haha oh well I love buying her clothes, so now maybe I have an excuse for Shawn not to shake his head at me haha just kidding :) But other than the dirty clothes she was a good girl for me today at work. Usually she demands more attention, but my coworkers daughter was there who is 4 and Keely had a ball playing with her. I think Keely needs to play with more kids so I don't have to entertain her all day. She totally forgot I was in the room when she was playing with that girl. It was so nice! I can't wait for Jaxon and Madden to get old enough so we can have play dates!
