Baby Shower Time

Baby Girl Nelson was showered with many wonderful gifts this past weekend. The baby shower turned out to be so much fun and here are some pictures of the high lights:

(As a side note- because I can never figure out the whole picture thing on blogger these pics are in no order- sorry!)

This is Nicole and Katie- Katie is Bryan's fiance- so my future sis in law- yay!!!
Here's Larisa and I showing off our bellies- we are the same size!

My great friend and old roommate, Erin and her adorable Charlotte came to the party!

Lorien, my maid of honor, helped get this party going. Thanks!!!

Here are my wonderful in-laws who are excited for their first, granddaughter/niece!

This is Brenda and Brittany- they aren't part of the family yet... but I consider them family!

Yay- Sherie (my boss from Rainbow) and her daughter Alyssa came

I love these girls: My Aunt Steph and her great girls- Meghan and Molly

This is Kelly & Kam two of the pregnant ladies at my ward! Being pregnant is so much fun!!

Here I am just before I started opening gifts. Baby Girl Nelson was so blessed!

This is a picture of some of my best friends from high school. Some thought it was too weird to all put their hands on my belly, so they just put their fingers there!

My mom trying to hide behind my belly!

This party was such a blast. I am grateful to have such wonderful friends and family!

I stink at blogging!

It's official- I stink at blogging! Now that school is over and I'm not working, I don't have any good excuses not to blog. And since baby girl Nelson hasn't arrived yet, I better take this opportunity to catch up on a few things!

Just about caught up!

Sorry it took forever to post! Enjoy looking at the next 4 posts! I'll try to be better at this whole posting thing! Some other random updates:

• My car broke down, so we got a used chevy impala (nothing like have AC again!)
• I passed my ACE exam, so I can officially teach group fitness classes.
• Alex and I are both busy with school. Neither of us have too many classes this semester, but Alex has a much more tough semester, seeing that it is his last! He has a honors thesis to finish writing, along with studying for his MCAT.

Nieces and a Nephew!!

This last weekend I got to see all of my nieces and nephew. It was a lot of fun, and here are some pictures of the cuties!

MADISON
This picture is from a while ago, but I had to add it. Check out her deltoids!
Here we both are before I left and she went to bed!

Here she is looking through my purse!

And of course she had to try on the my crocs!

Abby & Bryce

I guess they all like to try on my shoes!!

Abby's fun way of watching TV

Here are the two of the cuties. Bryce loves his big sister, and Abby really wants her two front teeth back!!

Friends over for dinner

One of many things I love about our ward is that there are young couples to hang out with. A Saturday in January we invited them over for dinner. We sure did miss Becky and Scott, but they had a perfect excuse, Becky had her baby boy the day before. We sure did have fun!

Amanda & Rocky Gardner, Alex and me, Kam & Aaron Fredrick and Karaska holding lil' Lillie!
I thought this was so cute! Lillie's smile is adorable!!!!

Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008:
We spent Christmas Eve and morning with the Nelson/Hawk family, and it was a lot of fun. I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a few

Here's Alex's siblings on Christmas morning!
Here's Alex wearing the head cover thingy ( I forgot the name!) Alex's dad got me from Pakistan! Doesn't he look silly?

Here we both are!

Gifts we got for Christmas!

Our girl!!!!

Here are the ultrasound pics, showing that we are going to have a little girl(which we found out on December 22nd!)! The first ultra sound was a surprise by our doctor, the baby was very cooperative. No for sure names yet... still working on that. She's healthy and getting bigger! We can't wait to see her in 4 months!!
