what?

ok here we go.

Emma loves her toothbrush!
And getting into my wallet and taking everything out

Bubble bath! - love those buns :)



Emma requested Jell-O for breakfast one morning and I couldn't say no....

haha! cute, Emma


I can't sweep the floor without this little helper, although of course if I actually really want the floor swept I have to do it when she's asleep or otherwise occupied... :)


OCT 7-8th: CAMPOUT with the Perkinsons!



Happiest little camper in the world :) Thomas is like a kid in a candy store with that chain saw








We love camping, its one of our favorite family activities and it was even more fun with our friends Spencer and Taylor!

Photoshoot with Emma, trying to do fish faces
She fell asleep right after, I guess taking a million pictures while lying on the bed can wear you out


Emma is IN LOVE with Finding Nemo the disney movie. We got her a stuffed Nemo animal and she loves it.

She always gives him kisses. She affectionately calls him "meemo" (can't quite say the 'n')


I found this little disaster after I turned my back on Emma for two minutes...
gotta love being a mom :) so many fun messes to clean up


Pumpkin Patch time with Porter!

Emma had fun wandering through all the pumpkins, the hayride, and being in the petting zoo, even though she wouldn't even attempt to touch any of the animals


We finally got grass in the backyard! Thomas worked hard prepping, laying down the sod, and planting some plants around the yard. It looks amazing compared to the ugly patch of dirt it was before. Now Emma has a yard to play in!
Halloween was so much fun. I made Emma's costume and I think it turned out super cute! She was Pebbles from the Flinstones (not to be confused with Bam Bam. he's a boy. not a girl.)



Emma's latest obsession: necklaces.


Necklaces, necklaces, and more necklaces.


She seriously can't get enough of these necklaces.
She plays with them for HOURS. yes, HOURS.
She puts them on her neck, takes them off, puts them in her purse or stroller, moves them to a different part of the house, and puts them back on...one by one. And then does it all again. It is TOO CUTE! (hence the millions of pictures).


Nelson Family Update:

1. Thomas has his finals this week (pray for him to do well!)
2. I started working from home part-time and Thomas has been such a good sport putting up with the messy house and last minute dinners.
3. Emma turned 18 months and that means...........nursery! She hasn't been doing so hot but we expected that...hopefully the screaming and crying won't last too long.....
4. I got called to serve in Young Women's as a Beehive advisor and I'm really excited. The girls are so cute and I feel like I'm buddies with them already. (Plus, now we have babysitters!)
5. Thanksgiving is just around the corner!! Thomas gets the whole week off and we are headed up to St. George for the festivities.
6. The weather has finally cooled off and we are loving it :)
7. Not sure if this is worth mentioning... aw what the heck. Breaking Dawn Part 1 comes out on Friday! (hehe) I'll admit, I'm a tiny bit excited....and Thomas even agreed to see it with me! WOOHOO! date night, yes.

  4. Brittney, I am surprised that you don't understand my reasoning. A small 2 hr movie that my wife really wants to see pays big dividends.
