Miss Nelly Jane

I always said that I would take equal amounts of pictures for all of my kids (me being the 2nd child always had my sis in pictures with me and she had way more than I did).  Sorry little girl.  I am trying to be better.  We love you still! Here are some of the pictures I have had just sitting on the computer.

Nelly is almost 9 months old!  Crazy!!!!  She still sleeps from about 6:30-6:30 or 7 most days.  She loves her sleep.  She only takes hour long naps though...  She loved her brother and sister.  She is sooooo close to crawling.  Just needs to get a little more coordinated.  She is always on her knees but can't figure out the moving part.  She loves to roll around, sit up, and stand.  She is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. She loves to smile and laugh.  She weighed in at 18 1/2 lbs just the other day

Moving

We moved.  No pictures but we really did move!  We went to get our moving van from Budget and they didn't have it.  Stressed us out!  We finally got a hold of U-haul and got one for the next day.  After that things went pretty smoothly. The kids did great on our drive.  We made it to Pocatello in shorts and got out of the car and it was 46 degrees.  We froze.  We love it here and are so glad to be close to family.

Ward Campout

Brandon took Owen and Norah on our ward camp out in ABQ.  They had a blast.  They got dirty.  They swam a little.  They went on a hike.  It was a good trip.  Nelly and Mom stayed at home in our nice comfy beds.

Craw Fish

Brandon's boss in Albuquerque had a craw fish boil at his house before we moved.  He had about 50 lbs of craw fish that he boiled with potatoes, sausage, corn, and Cajun seasoning.  It was pretty yummy.
