Happy Birthday Nelson!

Nelson turned 11 yesterday!


We had his Parent/Teacher conference yesterday also. He loves his teacher Mrs. Kaylor and loves being in a 5th/6th grade split class.

His teacher told us that he is the perfect student; loves to learn, works hard, helps others in the class, is very smart in every subject and is nice to everyone.


Nelson has a great personality. He's not easily embarrassed, loves to joke around, likes to be the center of everything, but also likes to see everyone else do well.

He is playing indoor soccer and he's the goalie. He is awesome to watch. He can stop almost anything and is not afraid of the ball.





Monday night we took him bowling at Fat Cats.
Paul, Laura, Parker & Autumn met us there.
We ate Costa Vida and had a great time!








Parker was scared to bowl at first but after Paul showed him what to do, he quickly got the hang of it.




Nelson got 'The tale of Despereaux' from Paul & Laura for his birthday. He has been big into reading lately and always has a book in hand.





Yesterday on his Birthday I took him and his friends to lunch at 'Pizza Factory'.

What was I thinking???
8 boys!

They really were well behaved though. We even had an older lady stop on her way out and tell me what well behaved young men I had with me!
What a compliment.








A BUNNY!!!


Cullan has been wanting a bunny for awhile now. He was hoping for his birthday in June he could get one; so I have been looking.



Well I found one; and I had to get it right away...and the best part was, it was free!
So Nelson got a Bunny for his birthday...hehe


She is so cute and just loves to explore the house. Her favorite hiding spot is behind the TV.

The boys have not come up with a name yet though. They have spouted a few out like; freebird, thumper, jumper, fluffy...but nothing seems to stick yet.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.



I think we'll keep her though.....unless we decide we'd like some Rabbit stew!!! hehe

Remind me not to have dinner at your house any time soon...I'm not fond of rabbit...although my aunt makes a pretty good rabbit stew
I think she looks like a "spot"
Happy Birthday Nelson!
