Crazy Week!

Just thought I would show some photos from our crazy week and a half.... It all started with shots last monday (17th). Not a fun thing to do, take four kids to the clinic to get shots. Brigham was very brave. Rachel was not..... And Brooklyn had no choice in the matter. It hurt me as much as the kids I believe.... Then to top it off, Rachel is sick the rest of the week. And we were getting ready for Lindsey's Farewell. And Easter. And trying to help Lindsey get the rest of her stuff done.....It must run in the family to put everything off till the last minute. Linds got off this morning and is and official "Hermana" ! She's going to be a great missionary, but she can come back anytime and "Nanny" for me!

Coloring Easter Eggs. Rachel stole everyones eggs. Brigham made an absolute mess, but it was fun and we had to do it for tradition.

Lindsey, our future missionary!

Lindsey and I have really been confusing the kids! They call Lindsey mom, and me Lindsey.... so we took a picture...could it be the same hairdoo? We are really going to miss lindsey when she leaves....If we could we would like her to stay, she has been a really big help with the kids as I have been occupied with Brooklyn! And she has also helped with the move and settling in to our new house. WE are excited for her though and know that she will make a great missionary and the people of argentina will love her!

Brooklyn will be a lot bigger when lindsey gets home, but we will keep her informed, especially since Linds was nice enough to get me set up with an email acccount....she's even the reason I have a blog.....still not to confident on the computer, but with lindseys ecouragement maybe I will get better..... Lindsey thinks I am as old as a dinosaur because I was in college before email was big!!

Linds took this pic of the rexburg temple, and I thought I would put it on here.... It is pretty cool that we now have two temples and they are so close by... We haven't been through the rexburg one since the dedication, but we loved the open house..... although Brigham says that going to the temple is tireing because of all the stairs:) It is a beautiful temple, and it really does have a lot of stairs.
See why we're going to miss linds... my kids use her as a human jungle gym... which is really nice for me she keeps them entertained and she even takes them on walks, outside in the 30^ wheather.... We know she will make a good missionary because she allready knows how to serve!

lambing shed visit

On saturday we went to see the lambs! Brigham really wanted to bring home a lamb until we got there, then he changed his mind! We had a good time, and Rachel even petted a lamb! She couldn't get over the stink, so we didn't stay long!

Nelson Family Update

Just want to show off our newest arival of 8lbs 15oz. Brooklyn was born January 10th with lots of brown hair. The kids love her to pieces. Rachel calls her my baby.
