Long time...No Blog....

Hey Ever-buddy!

So sorry about the absence. Many fun things going on in our life lately with no time to blog about them! Here's a little pic of the main goings on...

Some News...this blog will be shutting down! Obviously I am no longer one girl with her two boys...I am now the luckiest girl with 3 boys!

My lovely friend and amazingly talented graphic designer Aarean is designing my new blog..YAY! It will be strictly a journal of my life, the fun adventures my little family and I have, and a resource for family and friends to keep up on those adventures! Who knows I may throw a recipe or DIY or two in there, and maybe I can even get Kyle to blog...whatever we're feelin'!

Our new address will be nelsonnotables.blogspot.com, so please add the new us to your lists!

See you shortly!

Baby Shower!!

My sweet friend Aarean, whom I love, threw me a darling baby shower last weekend. It was so special. We had it at Corner Bakery out on the cute little patio she dressed up with such darling decor! We had lunch, did a little quiz about this pregnancy, ate dessert, opened gifts, and had so much fun chatting with each other! I have been so lucky to have found such great friends here in San Diego already, and am so grateful they all came to help us celebrate Baby Mackay! I was also lucky enough to have my sister in law and some friends from home there too, whom I also love. The best surprise of all was MY MOM! She didn't tell anyone she was coming, and was at the bakery when I got there! It was a total surprise and it really meant so much to have her there, it wouldn't have been the same without her!

Notice my crying face! So happy to have Mom there. Love her so much!

The Hostess with the Mostess and me!
Notice the table behind us, I need to get a picture of the cute decor, everything was so nice!

She would be hiding out by the candy!

Some of the gals..Tara, Garin, Sandra, and Whitney.

More gals...Aarean, Me, Kristy, and Lela.

Opening Gifts!

Not the most flattering picture, but I got this darling diaper bag from everyone along with a gift card to get a swing!!

The Shower Gals, minus Mom the photographer.
In the back...Whitney, Amanda, Aarean, Lela, Me, Kristy, Stephanie, and Chrissie.
In the front...Garin, Sandra, and Tara.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Aarean and Mom for making me feel so special and loved! I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family, and can't wait to add another little guy into the mix!

26 down...14 to go!

I asked Kyle to take a picture of my pregnant belly since we haven't in a while, AND it's a rare occasion to find me dressed in anything other than sweats! So being the cute, creative husband he is, he made me this collage...Baby Mackay and Mom at 26 weeks!

We can't wait to meet you little Baby...especially your big brother!

Bossy and Me...

The weather has been amazing here so Bos and I decided to visit Cabrillo National Monument! We had a blast, throwing rocks in the ocean, checking out the tidepools, using our "googles" aka binoculars to look for whales, and just climbing around the rocks getting dirty! 

 

You don't even know how many times we had to take this picture! Bos was so annoyed, but we got one!

Bossy is my best little friend. He's fun, funny, sweet, and adventurous! I love all the times we share like this, just him and me. 

Here She Comes....Miss America!

Kyle and I hosted the "First Annual Miss America Pageant Party" at our home this year, and let me tell you...it was a blast! There will definitely be a "Second Annual!"
We had breakfast for dinner, some yummy waffles and all the other breakfast trimmings!
Ya know, ate ourselves silly in honor of the pageant girls who definitely were not!

The Attendee's...

Mr. UCSD (later corrected to USD oops!), Mr. Hillcrest, and Mr. Chula Vista!

Mrs. Mission Valley, Mrs. Santee, and Mrs. Archstone!

Mr. Handsome, and his little girlfriend Sagey was Miss Pretty, they didn't really dig the sashes!

The Details of the Par-tay...

Crowns a la Aarean, they were darling!

Sashes!

Miss America 2012 Pick 'Em and crowns for the wee-ners!

A close up...isn't she lovely...

The Winners! Kyle picked her from the start, must have been her swimsuit! Congrats to the both of you.

 Until next year!

Somebody turned 3.....

I seriously cannot believe we just celebrated our baby's 3rd birthday. Well, tried to celebrate in Utah and San Diego. Unfortunately this year our birthday boy had the flu and RSV, totally not fair! Thank you to our family and friends for still having his fun birthday party and trying to make him still feel special!
But, Seriously, where has the time gone? We have just been so in love with this child since the moment we saw him and if you can believe it, love him more and more everyday that passes. Imagine how smothered he'll feel on his 30th birthday!
Boston is really becoming such a joyful boy. He is so fun to be with, his smile and laughs light up the room. Anyone that spends anytime with him will quickly see his darling personality and witty sense of humor he's developed already. We have notebooks full of sayings and things Bos has said that were sweet, funny, and sometimes embarrassing as a parent, but the point is he keeps us on our toes and constantly laughing!
As a 3 year old he loves all things outside and sports, he's really starting to enjoy imaginative play with action figures and "boy toys" as he calls them! He still loves his bobo and milk, thankfully we've gotten rid of the baba! Still loves cars, shows, and especially loves being with people. He loves making new friends anywhere we go and is pretty good at it! He loves to be with his grandparents and parents, just doing whatever you are. He's very aware of his surroundings, what's going on so he doesn't miss out on anything, and how everyone's feeling. He cries if you cry. If you laugh, he thinks it's hilarious. He loves babies and can't wait for his little brother Mac to "stop sleeping" and come out! He will be an amazing big brother, full of love.
We just could go on and on about our little guy, but most importantly are so glad we have so many fun stories with him so far, and to think it's only been in 3 short years. We look so forward to all the wonderful times to come as each birthday passes!
We love you more than life itself Boston. We are so happy Heavenly Father sent you to our home to be in our family. You must always know your Mom and Dad and very proud of you already and will always be. You are a light among others and we see how much love you feel for people around you, we can only imagine what great things you will do! Thank you for always keeping us laughing, and reminding us what is most important and wonderful about life.
Love you Bubby!
Mom and Dad...831.
