They are my life...

I took the kids to get their pictures and I loved them! As I am doing these blogs I am realizing that my life it completely about my children. But at this point, I wouldn't choose to have it any differently. I love being a mother. It is more fulfilling than I ever could have imagined. It is nothing that you can describe. I love my kids! (My husband, too, most of the time...) Plus, how can you not love them, when they are this cute???!!!

Joshua and Morgan

1 month old - beautiful!

They already love each other!

Josh's 2 year old picture - what a handsome guy!

Morgan Lea Nielson

Our beautiful baby girl, Morgan, was born on Tuesday, March 10th at 9:59 p.m. She was 5 pounds 14 ounces and 18 inches long. It was a long day that ended in a quick blur. After waiting for labor to progress for 13 hours, she came in just 7 minutes of pushing and 4 contractions. She is healthy and beautiful. We are so excited to to have this sweet little girl in our family.

Not sure if she looks like Josh? Check it out - almost the same baby!

This one is Josh

The Beach

The hotel we stayed at had a nice shallow pool

Don't forget I'm 4 months prego

Josh loved seeing the ocean, playing in the waves and sand.

A few more pictures...

It was fun going at Halloween time

Minnie kissed Josh about 40 times!

Josh loved dancing to the music before the parade

He's our little alien

Disneyland

After SeaWorld we went to Disneyland for a few days - I love Disneyland! Josh loved Disneyland! Pat thinks it's...okay. It is such a different experience to watch your child experiencing Disneyland. Josh loved Nemo, Toy Story, Monsters and Pirates rides. We went to a character dinner the night of Pat's birthday and that was a lot of fun. The characters loved Josh - especially Minnie Mouse, she couldn't stop kissing him. Again, the only bad thing was the hot weather. I had promised Pat that if we could go while Josh was 2, we didn't have to go again until the baby was 2 and Josh was 5. I lied - I want to go again SOON!

Pat's birthday dinner

SeaWorld back in October

Thank you Heather (my dear friend, whom I miss so much!!) for setting up my blog and doing my first post! While she was visiting she got busy helping me. I am actually more excited about this than I thought that I would be. But...I want to do some backtracking - so I am going to pretend that this one was posted last fall. In October I got my dear husband to take us to California for a little trip. We started at SeaWorld - which Josh LOVED! He loves all animals, but seems to expecially be interested in Ocean animals. The only bad thing about the trip was that I thought October would be nice, cool weather and I only packed Josh and me long pants. It was 94 degrees! We sweated our guts out watching the dolphins. SeaWorld has changed a lot since I was a kid. Josh loved touching the stingrays

I've conformed!

I'm going to hell with the rest of you losers. I've officially entered the world of blogger. Kill me now! Obviously I'm a stay at home housewife now with nothing better to do. My goal is to see how many "friends" I can add. Onward!
