First day of Pre-K, and other happenings

Natalie started Pre-K about a week and half ago. She LOVED picking out her back-pack, choosing her outfit for the first day, and deciding how she wanted her hair done. The girl loves going to school!
Little poser


Abi had to be just like her sister, of course. So, she got to pick out a $2 back-pack, which she insists on wearing every day when we take Natalie to school :) Nearly everyday, the second we drop Natalie off at her classroom, Abi says, "I miss my Natalie."



The day I was in charge of a primary activity day at the church, Cory took Abi to a parade, where she picked up practically illegal amounts of candy. We gave half of it to friends, and were still eating it for days afterwards.

How can you refuse help when it's this cute?


For Family Home Evening a few weeks ago, we held The Nelson Family Olympics, complete with a mile race for Daddy and Natalie, and half mile race for Abi and I. We also did the shot-put, and long jump. Measurements/times were taken, and will compared when we do this again.



Natalie is "the winner" of the mile race - 13:33 was her time. Her ambition is to win a gold medal someday:)

Cory went with three of his buddies to the BYU/Ole Miss game. Good thing that was the game he spent money on, and not one of the two games that followed... yech. As my dad always says, you can't be a fair-weathered fan of BYU. Just plan on lots of extreme highs and lows. Consistency? Maybe not so much.


This made me laugh. One of the signs at the tailgate party preceding the game. ;)
